I gave #vaccines to about 10,000 12-month old kids over my career. 100% of them started WALKING. I kid you not. (Oh. And they also didn’t get vaccine preventable diseases) Thanks, vaccines!

BREAKING: Research into Pediatric Brain Cancer is essentially being shutdown by a brilliant research team because of Trump’s actions against the NIH. Vice Chair of Research for Neurosurgery at UMass Chan Medical School, Dr. Rachael Sirianni just published this letter to the public: “This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH. Want to keep clarifying that my lab is not closing, and I am not leaving academia. We are stopping most of our experimental work. “What’s happening to our country is inexcusable and much of the damage is already irreparable. We will continue with data collection for a recently funded grant that came from a private foundation. There will be no pursuit of new ideas for now. We will continue with data collection for a recently funded grant that came from a private foundation. There will be no pursuit of new ideas for now.”

The human race did indeed survive for thousands of years without vaccines 50% of babies didn't make it to their 1st birthday though but you stick to your argument.

Children are 22% of the US population but 100% of the future! When kids aren’t cared for, when they lack food, security, healthcare, etc, we WEAKEN the future of the country. We must invest in kids! #AAPadvocacy

And then this happened! She thanked me for running against Tim Burchett and wished me luck. She believes in Tennessee! @AOC. Please support our campaign. I think she is done being called “girl” in the halls of Congress. secure.actblue.com/donate/jg…

It is the law of Tennessee and the official policy of the Tennessee Republican Party to force a child who became pregnant from a sexual assault to carry their rapist’s child to term. That’s not leadership. It’s sickening.

“What is so beautiful about a child having to carry their parent’s child?” The air went out of the arena when she said that.

REPRESENT!!!! 💙💙💙💙

Thanks to @NICUBatman for inviting me to co-present on the political determinants of health! We all need to work together to stop policies that leave people more vulnerable to diseases we can prevent. @AIMimmunization #PAS2024 @PASMeeting

When it comes to helping parents decide to vaccinate their children, it comes down to how we, as clinicians, start the conversation! We need to get this right every time! @PAS2024 @AmerAcadPeds @AIMimmunization #vaccinate
