Stephen Miller’s great-replacement claims about immigrants replacing Republicans are an effort to leverage partisanship to boost support for throwing immigrants out of the country. But immigrants aren’t particularly Democratic — or even anti-Trump. www.howtoreadthisch.art/data-is-anti...

Bystander CPR can make a difference!
An old tweet from me from 2 years ago:
The image is of me an Asian male with a mixed race boy in my lap making faces at the camera.


3 days ago this kid was pulled out of a swimming pool purple with no breathing and no pulse. Today he's running around my exam room flipping over chairs. Bystander CPR saved his life.

I’m going to try to explain why, while I understand anger toward the parents whose unvaccinated children died of measles, I don’t share it. IMO it is a tragedy. My reasons for this hinge on 2 main points: 1. Public health requires the public 2. We can’t ignore the social determinants of health

Nice update on this. Smart people here with mad skills were generous with their time and tracked down the owner of the docs — a third generation descendent. Turned out my friend, whose yard it below into, knows them - they are more than a mile away. Owners reunited with heirloom docs. Thanks all.

Vaccines are under attack like never before and pathogens just don’t stop emerging, so in related news... I’m honored to lead Vaccine & face these challenges w/ my co-Editors-in-Chief Florian & Ivan. I’m ready to elevate vaccine research, defend evidence-based policy, & stand up for public health!
Tweet from @Els_Vaccine: welcoming our incoming Vaccine Editors-in-Chief: @IvanHung2 (Ivan Hung), @angie_rasmussen (Angie Rasmussen), & @florian_krammer (Florian Krammer). Looking forward to work with them on establishing the journal further as a platform for evidence-based vaccination policies and critical vaccine research and development!
