The Twitter replies to the AAP President’s very tepid statement on RFK Jr’s DHHS nomination are absolutely deranged - just a cavalcade of anti-vaccine nuts calling pediatricians stupid, evil or both.
Maybe it’s time to get off Twitter and move to bluer pastures

I risk sounding callous when posting this but whose arms do you think they’ll run into when their innocent children develop a deadly vaccine-preventable illness

First patient of the day was a NB teen that attempted suicide, citing the anti-trans environment promised by a Trump second term. Pulled me right out of my funk - this is why we fight even when we can feel hopeless. Protect trans youth

The images from Al Aqsa Hospital are horrific and gut-wrenching.
Displaced families being burned alive. Where is the humanity?
This has been going on for over a year now. The U.S. must stop sending bombs and we desperately need a ceasefire.

An Israeli airstrike on a hospital compound in central Gaza early Monday sent flames ripping through tents housing displaced people, killing at least four and injuring dozens.
The Israeli military said it was targeting a Hamas command center. wapo.st/4eHL7N0

My son started kindergarten this week. I’m in tears thinking about what this family was going through, and they were lucky compared to some of their peers. It doesn’t have to be this way - we need gun safety legislation now

These are text messages, exactly as they were written and sent, between a mother and her two daughters during yesterday’s shooting at Apalachee High School.
The family shared the texts with The Washington Post. Both daughters were unharmed and now safe.

Can someone tell the PHM listserv that Imane Khelif isn’t trans? I’ve been trying to all day but my replies won’t go through and I’m getting very annoyed.
COMPLETELY SEPARATE FROM THE OLYMPIC ISSUE: Trans women are women

A lot of people focusing on the bilirubin level (which yes, was high enough that under current guidelines the infant needed phototherapy to prevent kernicterus) when the real tragedy was the way CPS, the police and the pediatrician responded.

This is one of the most devastating, infuriating stories I've read in a long time. You think you're already angry at the basics of what happened and then it just keeps getting worse with each new detail. I recommend reading every word by @kylietcheung jezebel.com/black-couple-say…

Incredibly incredibly messed up story - virtually 100% of it could have been avoided with a long phone call with parents and the midwife. Instead they were treated like criminals and separated from their baby

You’re a hero for telling your story. @bariweiss and @EmilyYoffe should be ashamed for publishing a story about you without hearing FROM you

I have reinstalled Twitter to respond to this story and make sure my voice is fully heard. I am Casey.
My real name is Alex but my mom decided it would be best to hide it for anonymity. But this is my story, not hers. This is not the free press’s story.

Outrageous and terrifying news:
Health insurance corporations are using unregulated AI algorithms to deny care for people on Medicare Advantage.
Robots should not be making life-or-death decisions.

A great piece on the current pediatric bed crisis written by someone I am lucky to call a mentor, Dr. Dan Rauch. It’s time to prioritize the health of our children, there is no better investment we can make.

Oh there’s a January 6th hearing today. I wonder what’s happening?

I stand with Dr. Andrews. The right wing in this country should stop with bigoted attacks that target some of our most vulnerable children and the pediatricians dedicated to providing them compassionate and evidence based care.
@NancyMace should be ashamed of herself

I think there are a number of quotes from physicians in this article that perfectly summarize why I have an enormous amount of distaste for chiropractors treating infants.

My first story for Well Being published this morning —
Chiropractors on TikTok are adjusting infants and toddlers. Practitioners and parents say treatments help with colic and constipation but pediatricians say the care isn’t backed by science.

Two, it invents pathology where there is none and as a result worsens parental anxiety. “Colic” is a normal stage of development that is enormously difficult for parents (I’ve lived through it myself twice).

Three, it’s a cash business that preys upon that parental anxiety during a time that is exhausting, difficult and stressful. Congratulations, you’ve fleeced anxious parents out of hard earned money and potentially risked injury for zero benefit for the child
