Today is World Polio Day. #polio eradication worldwide is the goal. On Roosevelt island is a crumbling smallpox hospital -a disease we don’t worry about due to #vaccination. Keep #vaccinating!

Think about this and please make sure to "repost" it so that everybody understands what's really going on. Don't just "like" it -- "repost" it -- this is important!

Oh hey, lookie here RFK Jr—the “CDC estimates that influenza #vaccination prevented 📌9.8 million influenza-related illnesses, 📌4.8 million medical visits, 📌120,000 influenza-related hospitalizations, & 📌7,900 influenza-related deaths” in 2023-2024. ➡️Maybe don’t block flu vaccine production? 🙏

This is catastrophic for US public health…so many people are protected by timely planning and rollout of the flu vaccine each year.

NIH funded researchers and all who care: This is an excellent call script that you can adapt to your own situation and send to your family and friends to call their reps.

Great thread on polio! And gives me the opportunity to plug @hwunsch.bsky.social’s excellent book, The Autumn Ghost, on how the Copenhagen #polio epidemic of 1952 shaped modern #ICU!

I spent Thanksgiving week reading The Autumn Ghost by @hwunsch.bsky.social and, oh man, what a great book. I knew the outlines of how the Danish polio epidemic led to mass hand-ventilation and on to ventilators but so much more. Thanks @chriscarrollmd.bsky.social (I think) for the rec too.

Naum Shaparin and I did residency together. He has experienced the unthinkable - the death of his son from SUDEP (sudden unexpected death in epilepsy). He has set up a foundation to help educate people about this conditon that (unlike SIDS) people don’t know about. If at the #pga78 stop by…booth 416

A great reminder to stick to your vision… Ken Burns pitched his civil war #documentary and was told “no one will watch this”. 40 million tuned in when it aired on #pbs.

Simple question: based on the available data, which med would you choose for your mother? I call it “the mother test” as a check on so many things we do.
