You can't see me #Caturday

Remember when this was the most tragic thing to happen on Fridays?

Happy to report that I got up and made more failure happen today.

Seems like a good time to remind everyone that the concern about GBS and the flu vaccine stems from a single vaccination season 50 years ago. On the whole, subsequent data suggest the risk is higher from influenza infection than vaccination. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Elder millennials:

Quick: put a genie in a lamp in there. If they touch anything, they'll be trapped forever.

Some days you feel like a complete failure. But you can't let that get you down. You still have to wake up the next day and fail again.

This was a test, and @nytimes.com passed with flying colors. The revolution will not be televised, but the coup will be.

Most important questions in my developmental clinic today: "Did your child get a flu shot?" "Do you still have a job?"

SSRIs and stimulants save the lives of the children taking them

Officially invited to present at PAS (in HI!) and now terrified of being on a plane for 12 hours.

Some people have never felt the weight of all human suffering, and it really shows.

Need to finish this (way overdue) lecture, but keep thinking about the activist writing I want to do as soon as I finish this lecture, which is preventing me from finishing this lecture.

The 50 mph winds have reached Baltimore, and my rowhouse is not happy about it.

Roses are red ANE is awful Please get your kid a flu shot Before it becomes unlawful 😞

Week ending February 1, 2025 • 10 pediatric deaths associated with seasonal influenza virus infection were reported through 2/1, bringing the season total to 57 pediatric deaths. CDC estimates at least 24 million illnesses, 310,000 hospitalizations, and 13,000 deaths from flu so far this season.

ADHD medications are associated with lower rates of accidental injuries, MVCs, ingestions, substance use disorders, and deaths. These meds literally save lives. Withholding these medications from children would DECREASE life expectancy for Americans, not increase it.

Now it's professional AND personal. We started our son on a stimulant for the 1st time yesterday. He started non-stim meds for ADHD years ago, but we knew the day would come when that wouldn't be enough. One of the toughest decisions I've made as a parent, but seeing him thrive is all that matters.

Some people have never watched a child die of a preventable disease, and it really shows.

This article is true, but doesn't include the many other complications we're seeing from the flu this year, like encephalitis and other neurological conditions that require prolonged hospitalization and may have permanent consequences.

Brilliant

I'm going home early. By which I mean I only worked 8 hours today (in the office).

Anyone else feel like we're playing Squid Games, but the billionaires requested prolonged psychological torture and covert murder?
