Vaccines do not cause autism.
Decades of rigorous and scientifically sound research have proven that vaccines do not cause autism. CDC’s decision to change language on its website reversing that finding is reckless & harmful.

Nitrofurantoin is still first-line for uUTI (definitely lots of love for NTF! Although we recommend 5 days - would love to see 3d outcomes published!); the US guidelines are just starting to explore cephalosporins (previously alt agents) - now working to get data out on which ones to use vs. avoid!
We use cephalexin 500 BID for uUTI and 1,000 mg BID for cUTI (unless bacteremic, or obese ➡️ then 1,000 mg TID-QID depending on BMI); academic.oup.com/ofid/article...
‼️Just shared at #IDWeek2025 & now published in @ofidjournal.bsky.social cephalexin vs. cefdinir for tx of uUTI in females. Spoiler: Cefdinir was independently associated with/failure & cefdinir pts were twice as likely to fail. Let’s stop Rx’ing cefdinir for UTI! 🛑💊 academic.oup.com/ofid/article...
