Just released. My Nature piece: "Never before has the USA seen such an anti-intellectual, anti-science assault... History tells us that there are times when the dangers of inaction become sufficiently threatening to individuals or the planet that scientists... rdcu.be/eo3Hb

« Les enfants, il ne faut pas les oublier ! » Les pédiatres demandent à Québec de reconnaître les enfants et les adolescents comme des « patients vulnérables » dans sa nouvelle catégorisation des patients, par @mcousineau.bsky.social www.lapresse.ca/actualites/s... via @lapresse.ca

Even as Trump, Musk and MAGA wage a war on empathy, there are others who show us a different path "Decent, resolutely human, and only 44, Jacinda Ardern still believes modesty, kindness and compassion will win the day" www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...

Congrats Roby Khemani @drpatrickross.bsky.social @anoopbhalla.bsky.social and reat of the twam For this landmark study. Looking forward for Phase 3 multicenter RCT #PedsICU @palisinet.bsky.social evidence.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

Infectious disease epidemiologist, here: I do. I think people should be able to get them if they want. I think people should get them. I think COVID is still sickening and killing a lot of people.

#Measles is not being spread in Canada by visitors or temporary workers. It’s being spread by unvaccinated people infected with measles.

This is truly unbelievable www.nytimes.com/2025/05/22/u...

Wannabe dictator acting like a dictator.

Angie Craig: "I have no idea why we think it's a good idea to repeal a tax on silencers when we are going to feed fewer children in our country as a result of this. It's a moral damn failure is what it is."

I made this video 2 years ago. I had a lot of people tell me I was being dramatic. Now we know UNH are pushing nursing home to get residents to sign DNRs. I’m so glad people are waking up. youtube.com/shorts/ZZtHN...

If you're looking for evidence-based information on vaccines, the American Academy of Pediatrics has compiled this great web site. www.aap.org/en/news-room...

You know that video that Trump showed today purporting to be a mass "burial site" of white farmers? Well, Elon tweeted it out last week -- and it's actually footage from a memorial procession five years ago after two people were killed in an armed robbery. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Some of the biggest successes of public health are being re-litigated in 2025 By a bunch of incompetent idiots And people are going to die as a consequence

Disastrous recommendation. We had a near-catastrophic case of COVID in a 🤰, and we know that COVID is associated with numerous complications to the mother and the 👶🏻. Pregnancy=high risk for COVID complications. 🤰/planning to be pregnant women should be protected 💉 www.wsj.com/health/healt...

Another similar opinion about the dangers of COVID in🤰🏻. Women of childbearing age, esp if you’re planning to get pregnant: please do NOT wait until you are pregnant to find out that COVID can lead to dangerous complications to you, your pregnancy, or your baby. Stay up to date w/ 💉protection

"We Study Fascism. And We’re Leaving the U.S." @marcishore.bsky.social, @timothysnyder.bsky.social & Jason Stanley, all professors at Yale & experts in authoritarianism, explain why America is especially vulnerable to a democratic backsliding and why they are leaving www.nytimes.com/2025/05/14/o...

Zero kids should die of measles. Zero. Any number higher than zero is entirely the fault of these unhinged monsters.

We currently have 3 previously healthy children on full life support in PDX for Influenza even though it’s May. 226 children in the US have died of influenza this year, the most since 2010. If only there were some way to prevent this? #pedsICU #vaccineswork #pediatrics

Vaccines work! 💪🏼

NEW: Whistleblower records show that the NIH axed research grants – even after a federal judge blocked the cuts with an injunction. www.propublica.org/article/trum... 🧵

The way we were treated at Delaney Hall is almost unbelievable. ICE shoved me, manhandled @repbonnie.bsky.social, and arrested Mayor Baraka. They disrespected us and tried to stop us from conducting the oversight we’re elected to do. But we’ll never back down in our fight for what is right.

"Heil Hitler" by Ye has been banned by nearly all digital streaming platforms. You can still watch it on twitter, though. Academic institutions, journals, et al. - is this *really* a platform that you want to be supporting and affiliating with?

Gonna share this small piece of good news to maintain my sanity. Ask your pediatrician for Beyfortus, or better yet get it in the hospital before discharge. It's a game changer. 👇

Trump's new Meet the Press interview was just the latest illustration that dude's brain is gone

You do not need to be a lawyer to read this sentence: "No person shall ... be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law." (In FDR's words, the Constitution is a layman's document - it's not (just) for the lawyers!)

Now we know why he didn’t have his hand on the Bible when he took the Oath of Office.

President Trump told NBC on 'Meet the Press' that he is considerably more likely to use military force against Greenland than against Canada, though he would not rule out using military force against Canada too.

You know the answer: it's just designed to target women. Women overwhelmingly vote Democratic. The Trumpsters know this. That's why the "SAVE" Act is up for consideration. It has nothing to do with immigration or illegal voting. It's just about putting up barriers to keep women from voting.

Canada, we’re with you! TRUMPISM IS REPUDIATED IN AUSTRALIA! #auspol

There has been a significant reduction in the number of kids getting the flu vaccine over the past 5 years—a drop from 64% to 49%. Consequently, there have been 216 pediatric flu deaths so far this flu season, the highest number since the swine flu 15 years ago (link below). Vaccinate.

This is untrue. Some vaccines use cell lines from two elective pregnancy terminations in the 1960s to grow viruses (these cell lines are immortal). The cells derived from them are REMOVED during vaccine production.
