There is no greater five alarm fire than this. I don’t know how to break through to Republicans about the impact of ending VICP, but I won’t stop posting about it, and neither should you. Call your elected reps. Write letters. This is a living nightmare.

Agree, but I choose to interpret this as a secret dig on cefdinir. Someone told a bunch of pediatricians that it is the oral equivalent of ceftriaxone (it is not for most indications) and now it is contributing to resistance and ineffectively trying to treat infections.

Unfortunately, as a resident and pediatrician in DeKalb county, can confirm that these are needed. Agree the idiocracy in the US is not helpful, but I saw a fair amount of TB in DeKalb and Fulton 15 years ago as a med student.

Not only did this scammer take $100K in his scam lying to kids, he also destroyed more than $28K of federally-purchased vaccines - taxpayers paid for - when vaccines first became available. It’s not just RFK and it’s not just “skepticism.” Our government is willing to lose money to promote antivaxx.

Senator @campbell4tn.bsky.social is correct. Senator @MarshaBlackburn is lying. Never has cutting $1 Trillion from a program “strengthened” it. She thinks we are all idiots. People will lose coverage. Hospitals will close. All for a tax cut for herself and her donors.

1/ Your local hospital. Your kid’s checkups. Your parents’ nursing home. They’re all at risk. Congress just passed the largest #Medicaid cuts in U.S. history—$1 trillion over 10 years—and most Americans have no idea how this could affect them, even if they aren't on Medicaid.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.  Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

What’s in sunscreen, and how does it protect your skin from the sun’s rays?
UV filters help prevent sunburn and cancer, while other ingredients encourage people to slather sunscreen on their skin

I just voted NO on the motion to proceed with the Washington Republican Tax Bill. Simply put: I cannot support a bill that will cut health care, raise premiums, and kill Georgia jobs. This bill robs from you to give another tax break to big corporations and billionaires.

I’m grateful that these people are willing to share their stories, hopefully so that others can avoid their fate. There is a reason that specific infections have been targeted by vaccines. Vaccine-preventable diseases are terrible.
