Leaving residency is not the issue here. It’s not the right path for everyone. The problem is the disbelief of the settled of #vaccines & their effectiveness & lack of qualifications for the role of Surgeon General.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

A child in Bologna was comatose after being hit by a 🚘. The resulting uproar served as a catalyst for positive change. Gun violence in 🇺🇸 has yet to lead to similar meaningful action.

1/ #Measles is back. #Trust the pediatricians. 🧵 Measles was declared eliminated in the U.S. in 2000 thanks to the MMR vaccine. It's back b/c too many children remain unvaccinated. #AmericanAcademyOfPediatrics continues to be one of the most important voices for child health. Interesting story...

💉Virtually no physician or nurse completing training in past quarter century has seen Haemophilus Influenzae type b #Hib. I hope we don’t see a resurgence of this vaccine-preventable infection. Added it to the Sanford Guide to Pediatric Acute Care, just in case. @sanfordguide.bsky.social

“Talk to your pediatrician” would be much, much better advice.

So many of my littlest patients have benefited from Head Start. Speech delayed children who start speaking after early intervention. Access to nutrition. Childcare that allows parents to work. Head Start is a lifeline- pediatricians can attest to the immense benefits for kids because we’ve seen it.

The overall MMR vaccination rate of 92.7% means that many areas of the country are below the ~94% threshold needed for #measles herd immunity, hence the continuation of the outbreak in TX and its spread to nearby states. Infants too young to receive MMR are needlessly placed at risk. @who.int

Deaths from heart disease down 75%, that’s NIH. Deaths from stroke down 75%, that’s NIH. HIV/AIDS no longer a death sentence, that’s NIH. 99% of FDA approved drugs in the last decade, that’s NIH. Please show this video to anyone who doesn’t understand why the NIH is so important.
