This list from the AAP on pediatricians to follow for trustworthy content is great but also missing @drelizabethmurray.bsky.social, @shematologist.medsky.social, @oligoclonalband.medsky.social, and @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social.

It's too biased towards Instagram creators IMO.

Death from sub-acute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) in a child in Los Angeles
SSPE is a rare sequel of #measles infection that appears years after the initial infection, and is uniformly fatal. So sorry for this family. As things are going on the US, we'll be seeing more of these cases.

Child dies from rare measles-related complication, LA County health officials say

Health officials reported the death of a Los Angeles County child from a complication of measles infection acquired during infancy.

Only 26% of Americans say they "somewhat" trust RFK Jr's medical advice. The rest do not.

Those are horrifically bad poll numbers.

New: In 7 months, Kennedy has broken the CDC, perhaps irreparably. For all he’s done with mass firings, gutting expertise, and attacking vaccines, Wednesday’s loss of its most senior and competent leaders—truly the CDC’s backbone—is the most consequential attack yet.

“…all clinicians should provide a strong recommendation for updated COVID-19 vaccination to their pregnant and lactating patients.” Vaccinations can occur in any trimester, with an emphasis on the “earliest opportunity to maximize maternal and fetal health.”

YES.

Good. I agree with the American College of Ob-Gyns.

I was horrified when RFK Jr, Jay Bhattacharya, & Marty Makary announced, in a video on X, that they were advising against vaccination in pregnancy—a closed-door decision that flies in the face of science & evidence
