I think you can track America's frantic mood of desperation and malaise by how "Caturday" now trends 7 days a week.

I just found out you can get the FluMist flu vaccine delivered to your house now. It’s free with most insurance. Delivery cost me $9 for my family’s doses, but if your kids really can’t deal with needles this is a super-big deal.

I still get angry when I think about a reporter asking Jen Psaki about what she would say to states whose governors ended all COVID19 mitigation, and her response was “I’m glad I don’t live in those states”.
Meanwhile, AZ had no mitigation and we were well on our way to the worst excess death rate.

5. I personally think that every state should decouple all vaccine policy from ACIP.
But I really ask that all of us do better than dunking on our friends, neighbors and loved ones. Public health means ALL of us.

Australian Pelicans (Pelecanus conspicillatus)... holds the world record for the longest bill of any living bird. The largest one ever recorded was a huge 50 centimeters (nearly 20 inches), which they're hiding in the pic. #birds #nature #biology #photography

12 former @fda.gov commissioners from both parties just went on the record in @nejm.org calling Vinay Prasad’s vaccine framework a threat to public health. They bring more than 3 decades of leadership at the agency, and it is hard to think of a more forceful warning. 🧵

In 2nd place, with $336,162, is #KidVengers. This is unreal. They're an unmerged team of pediatricians with big hearts & a ground game like no one else. (Pro tip: Hire them to run your election campaign if they ever leave #MedSky.) They've WON 3 out of 6 #HCWvsHunger competitions! /6

Looking for another 25-35 responses from PCOS patients to give this student at least 50 to analyze in their honors research. We've had no luck with physician/provider responses, it may be too tough out there in 2025, but the patient responses are interesting. #MedSky
