@drannieandrews.com Your move to abandon trans kids is disgusting. It's useless to have a pediatrician in the Senate who will stick their finger in the air and go wherever the wind blows! Supporting jailing doctors for caring for their most vulnerable patients?!!! Please resign from the AAP.

A totally new phenomenon in the world of antivaxxers are the parents that just...quit. Families with fully vaccinated older kids that show up at an 11 yo well check and refuse vaccination. Poisoned by too much time online listening to malicious voices such as RFK Jr. #pedsky

In the light of the recent new executive order about vaccines, this is worth another share. This is my personal experience. It's not made up story to prove a point. Any physician my age who has ever taken care of childen or worked in an emergency room likely has similar stories. #pedsky #vaccines

There are no commercially available separate measles, mumps, or rubella shots in the U.S. Separating these vaccines is not safer and would lead to more illness. RFK Jr. and definitely our President are actively sowing confusion and harming the health of American children. That is all. #pediatrics

30 years ago this week, I started as a real pediatrician. 150 thousand patient visits later I still love it. My kids bring me joy, give me hugs, and often make me laugh out loud 100 times a day. Thousands of kids and newborn babies held. I've been so lucky to have lived this life. #pediatrics

"Survival of the fittest". A Darwinesque vision undergirding the entire RFK Jr. antivax movement. A cult of death. In the Smokies on vacation decades ago, we walked an old graveyard. Many plots had parents accompanied by stone lambs. Babies they lost before they had a chance to live. RFK's vision.

Death is the policy
RFK Jr.‘s measles response is junk science and social Darwinism.

Whitmer declares October “transgender empowerment month.” AG Nessel and the Michigan govt have yet to force state hospitals capitulating to Trump to return to providing trans youth care. I feel like this message is empty, and will only serve as right wing rage bait while delivering nothing.

1. Trump threatened every hospital that provides gender affirming care to transgender youth. Many complied and shut down their programs. Boston Children's Hospital didn't. They fought back and kept providing care. And now, they just beat Trump in court. Subscribe to support our journalism.
