I wrote in @statnews.com about the emotional toll anti-vaccine rhetoric is taking on clinicians — and how it’s straining our relationships with patients.
This isn’t abstract; it’s happening every day in exam rooms across the country.

This news puts all of us at risk, especially the immunocompromised. RFKjr misunderstands the science of mRNA. Research into mRNA vaccines includes application for C. diff, norovirus, cystic fibrosis, cancer, and more. Dumb and mean. #cancerresearch #healthcare #wellness
The Trump administration cancelled about $500 million for research into mRNA vaccines. The move slows progress in using the technology to prevent a future pandemic or treat disease, experts say.

This is footage from today in MacArthur Park.
Minutes before, there were more than 20 kids playing — then, the MILITARY comes through.
The SECOND I heard about this, I went to the park to speak to the person in charge to tell them it needed to end NOW.
Absolutely outrageous.
