“For many parents, rapidly changing recommendations around vaccines have added a layer of anxiety in navigating what is typically a stressful time with a new baby at home. New moms said the shifting health advice… has made an already seemingly endless number of decisions feel even more daunting.”

I recently got back on to Threads after maybe a year? I’m managing an org’s account over there as a volunteer. I was one of the first people to be up and running on Bluesky, which is why I ditched my account on Threads. And Meta platforms are just so bad. I mean not Twitter bad, but pretty close.

One thing I should have included in my op-ed is that Dr. Middleman, an actual hepatitis B expert, was silenced in the meeting when she tried to provide the committee the benefit of her expertise. Dr. Malone silenced her very aggressively, while letting anti-vaccine speakers go over time repeatedly.

An important new paper by @jonshaffer.bsky.social et al. has examined the impact of strict state abortion bans on EMTALA violations.
In Texas, they observed a significant increase in these violations after the state passed a strict abortion ban. This endangers those with an obstetric emergency.
