I am a teacher and a parent to young children. I can only do my job safely if those who can be vaccinated are vaccinated.

Schools are a public good. If we're going to use them, we must also do what we can t keep them safe for everyone else to use.

As my recent diagnosis shows, tuberculosis is not a relic of medical history. It remains the leading infectious cause of death worldwide—and America is hardly immune.

The pacing of childhood vaccines is based on the times when vaccines will work best with a child’s immune system.

To learn more about receiving multiple vaccines in one doctor’s visit, visit our website or have a conversation with your pediatrician.

With measles cases rising, it’s crucial to ensure kids are up to date on their MMR shots. Pediatricians are always ready to talk with parents about the MMR vaccine if they have any questions. www.healthychildren.org/english/safe...

Because the RSV shot works differently than traditional vaccines, parents have several options when it comes to RSV protection. Pregnant mothers or their newborn can receive the immunization, offering flexibility in how families choose to help their infants build resistance from severe illness.

“Since 1998, independent researchers have conducted more than 40 high-quality studies involving over 5.6 million people. The conclusion is clear and unambiguous: There’s no link between vaccines and autism." -Dr. Susan Kressly, AAP President on recent changes to the CDC's website

Redistricting Q&A
Does Prop 4 amend the Utah Constitution or create a "super-law"?
No. The Utah Supreme Court forbids the Legislature to repeal or amend initiatives or limit our rights unless they have a strong governmental reason, but they can amend it. 1/5

The situation with Utah redistricting is more complicated than the headlines make it look.
The Utah State Supreme Court determined in their decision that the intent of the inclusion of initiative in our state constitution was to allow citizens to reform our government and check our legislators. 1/3

I am an infectious disease Dr and I would gladly find something else to do with my life if we were able to eliminate all infections through vaccination and public health measures.That's how strongly I feel about infection prevention & the positive impact of vaccines. I am ok with being out of a job.

#BoycottSpotify as long as they co-operate with the undesignated terror organisation ICE

There are enough alternatives:

- Tidal
Spotify customer service is immediately ending conversations if you ask about them airing ICE advertisements on the platform.

NEW: No, Charlie Kirk was not practicing politics the right way. That's what Ezra Klein said. We can condemn this heinous assassination but also recognize that with his 2020 election denialism and extremist rhetoric, Kirk built his movement with falsehoods and in a wrong and divisive manner.

His assassination deserves full condemnation; his full impact should not be sidestepped.

Autism is not just one thing but rather a constellation of traits that often occur together and can be used to identify a group of people who may benefit from similar types of support."
Scientists will not find a simple answer to how autism arises, despite Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s promise to announce its causes sometime this month. Here’s what makes the condition so staggeringly complex

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported.

Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad.

We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

I was cleaning out a particularly yucky bathroom drain today, and what should I yank out of there but the state of our democracy. Don't worry. I wiped it up and threw the towel into the trash, just to be sure. I didn't want that gunk in my laundry.

There are many times in Mountains Beyond Mountains that we see well-meaning medical professionals ignore the things that are important to their patients. Why is it important for medical professionals and other “outsiders” to honor the importance people assign to their own lives? #TBReaders

US #TBHillDay was legitimately one of the best things I’ve ever done. It was fun meeting so many other members of the TB Haters Club, and very inspiring seeing the difference a bunch of ordinary folks can make together, especially when trained by experts!

I highly recommend this to any Canadian!
