Congratulations to my wonderful and hard-working husband!!!

My 13 year old Daughter died from #BrainCancer 4,679 days ago. 💔 I would LOVE to see my Ashley’s name 4,679 times in comments for all the days she’s been missing. When you lose a Child, the most beautiful word you can hear is their name. ❤️ A Repost & Follow would mean the world to us to keep our Ashley’s story alive. 💜 𝒜𝓈𝒽𝓁𝑒𝓎 💜

I love seeing friends and brilliant educators like @ebtapper teach My new fav analogy for fibrosis —> splenomegaly —> thrombocytopenia “The spleen becomes a hotel for the platelets” 🏨 P.s shout out to @ElenaGGibson @thecurbsiders infographic! #IM2024

My 3 year old daughter Lila was recently diagnosed with a VERY rare and aggressive type of #leukemia. 👉 It’s potentially treatment resistant… AND 👉 Requires a bone marrow transplant. A🧵with all the details we have so far 👇 Please @Twitter help me save my little girl.

I’m so fortunate to work with and learn from the extraordinary @stephbkiser and to have her as an integral part of our #SCD team. Join us on Friday as we explore the role of palliative care in #sicklecelldisease

Ceci died unexpectedly on Dec 5, 2022 at 14 months old. She was our daughter & we are devastated. She was so smart, smiley, stubborn & squishy. She adored the rabbits in our yard & playing with her nanny “Shang NaiNai” & sisters. She is loved & missed beyond comprehension (1/5).

Congratulations to my amazing husband, @DavidLeaf9, on his promotion to Associate Professor of Medicine @harvardmed!!!

How can you go from sequence of a novel virus to 2 vaccines with 95% efficacy and safety (>75,000 participants in RCT trials) in 10 months and not, in 2.5 years, go after pan-β-coronavirus and nasal vaccines with the same aggressive (OWS) template?

If parents can opt-out of having their kids vaccinated against COVID, others should have the right to opt-in on a <5 vaccine we have every reason to believe will be safe and effective in reducing severe acute disease, late effects and death. Risks and benefits cut both ways.

The idea that COVID is harmless for otherwise healthy children is absurdly and demonstrably false. And the corollary argument that kids <5, therefore, don’t need vaccine is not only false, but immoral; 486 already have died. Parental choice cuts both ways. Authorize the vaccine!

Full Moderna data submitted @US_FDA @FDACBER. Parents of u5’s are watching you and waiting. Review now. Review now. Review now. @ImmunizeUnder5s

Now that Moderna has submitted all pediatric data to @US_FDA, we urge an immediate, transparent and thorough review. Families of children under 5 have waited a long time for the reassurance of a safe and effective vaccine.

I saw children die of AIDS because medicines that saved their parents’ lives were not approved for them, so the seeming lack of urgency around COVID vaccines and therapeutics for young children is triggering. This wasn’t supposed to happen again almost 30 years later.

Parents of kids <5 feel abandoned. As adults clamor for boosters and cry for a “return to normalcy,” the FDA still hasn’t approved an <5 vaccine. We deserve clear and timely updates after many delays and poor communication. @DrCaliff_FDA @CDCDirector @ImmunizeUnder5s

Hey @moderna_tx @US_FDA @CDCgov what’s the hold up? Parents are anxiously waiting for a #covidvaccine for #kids under 5. #UrgencyOfEquity #CovidIsNotOver

Ok. It’s Monday April 4. @US_FDA @CDCDirector @CDCgov when can my 4yos get vaccinated.

I don't know who needs to hear this but I'm seeing long haul COVID in kids and it is.. frightening. 1. Chronic headaches 2. Dysautonomia 3. Menstrual irregularities 4. Chronic cough and respiratory problems 5. Depression and anxiety All triggered after seemingly mild covid inf.
