Just a mom out here wondering what happened to normal Advent calendars with chocolate? 🤔

Nice to know we can keep the separate vaccines but thanks to this joke of ACIP for causing our 12 month old may have to get a 2nd jab 😑 Glad I got my toddler her MMRV booster earlier this year!

Join me and this amazing panel for a live CE webinar tomorrow! #IDSky #PharmSky

Early morning pumping has given me time to doom scroll and learn about the mockery RFK is making of ACIP. What a time to have a newborn infant in America 😭 #IDSky

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists is fully opposed to RFK Jr. taking COVID19 vaccines away from people who are pregnant.

Again, we are being subjected to a disinformation campaign by RFK Jr., Bhattacharya, Makary and Prasad, among others.

Statement on April 1 HHS Job Cuts

#IDsky
This level of destruction will cause generational damage

"The elimination of large swaths of highly trained and dedicated employees at HHS..and other offices responsible for protecting America’s health, is counter to the goal of keeping America healthy."

FDA's top vaccine scientist is out, citing Kennedy's 'misinformation and lies' In his resignation letter, Marks wrote that health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. wanted "subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies."

WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

…if your boss wanted a “subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies"?

Dr. Peter Marks, the Food and Drug Administration’s top vaccine regulator, has resigned.

CDC plans study on vaccines and autism despite research showing no link President Donald Trump and HHH Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. have repeatedly raised the idea that autism could be linked to vaccines.

THIS IS ACTUALLY WASTEFUL SPENDING. So if the Fed is looking for waste, fraud, and abuse they should start here. Vaccines don't cause autism and its been proven again and again

This is an excellent response. The federal government can not restrict what individual faculty or University programs teach. That is our right to free speech and academic freedom. All Universities should respond similarly to these threats.

Being a patient can be so frustrating. Saw a specialist and they want me to follow up in 4-6 weeks. Great, I have PTO in exactly 4 weeks and plenty of flexibility! Dr has literally not a single available appt in HIS recommended f/u time frame. Just waiting on a cancellation I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️ #MedSky

It's literally getting everyone this year!

Meanwhile we're experiencing the worst flu season of my career. Not only more flu patients than I've seen but also sicker patients. #IDSky

Things pediatricians are scared of:
Grapes
Hot dogs
Lawn mowers
Unmounted TVs
Babies on laps in cars
Riders without helmets
Ungated pools
Crib bumpers
Trampolines
Hot tubs
Guns

Things pediatricians are not scared of:
Any/all the vaccines

Literally everyone has the flu right now until people proven otherwise 😬 #IDSky

Amid worst U.S. flu season in decades, RFK Jr.-led CDC pulls vaccine campaign Last season’s flu vaccine prevented 9.8 million illnesses and 7,900 deaths nationwide, the CDC says.

RFK Jr.’s CDC just pulled a flu vaccine campaign in the middle of the worst flu season in 30 years. 29 million illnesses, 370,000 hospitalizations, and 16,000 deaths—including nearly 70 children.

Public health shouldn't be political. Get vaccinated.

Not only were all childhood vaccines studied more rigorously than nearly any other medical therapeutic before ending up on the vaccine schedule, we also have years of data on BILLIONS of administrations since. No other medical interventions have been tested as rigorously as childhood vaccines have.

FDA’s Food Safety Chief Resigns The chief said the loss of critical employees overseeing the nation’s food supply made his work impossible. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the nation’s new health secretary, has pledged to gut the division.

the “make america healthy again” agenda appears to be an elaborate op conjured up by sentient strains of listeria and salmonella www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...
