There is no evidence that breaking up the MMR shot would make the immunization safer or more effective. The reason why the acting CDC director wants to separate the MMR shot is to discourage people from getting vaccinated by creating larger hurdles.

At this point, even if he was miraculously impeached, he would probably get on Fox News and say that it didn’t happen, and everyone in DC and in the greater Republican Party would be like, well, I guess you’re right. I guess that didn’t happen. 🤷‍♀️

Never let anyone tell you that small acts of resistance don’t matter. This is a remarkable story of 2 Irish women who stood up against injustice & stood tall. Their courage & defiance, for strangers they would never meet, is a reminder that even the smallest light can burn through the darkest times

The Queen Forever

One of the greats. 💔

Appreciated this a lot. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/o...

Science. Is. So. Freaking. Cool. I. Cannot.

I was incredibly heartened by how many young-ish people were waiting for Covid/flu shots at CVS today. The pharmacist told me at his location they do about 100-150 per day! Proud of the people in my community who are not falling for misinformation and who are instead taking care of each other.

I’m not sure if this is a positive development, but my toddler says “pizza” the same way Gollum says “my precious” in Lord of the Rings. So. 😬😂

I’m a pediatrician - Tylenol is safe and effective for controlling pain and fever in young children - MMR is a safe, effective vaccine with no data that preferentially supports single disease vaccines or temporal separation from varicella - HepB vaccines at birth reduced HepB infections by 99%

It’s possible that I’ve never been more excited for something in my entire life. m.youtube.com/watch?v=B66w...

Chef’s kiss, perfect, no notes

Holy shit

If the White House is going to start making medical recommendations the president needs to be a physician.

Can't believe it's possible, but I'm actually going to be rooting for a drug company in a lawsuit.

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

BREAKING: Jimmy Kimmel Live! will return on Tuesday night following a brief suspension. "Last Wednesday, we made the decision to suspend production on the show to avoid further inflaming a tense situation at an emotional moment for our country..."

Stephen Colbert: “Tonight we’re all Jimmy Kimmel…. With an autocrat, you can’t give an inch. If ABC thinks that this is going to satisfy the regime, they are woefully naive, and clearly they've never read The Children's Book If You Give a Mouse A Kimmel.”

Today’s ACIP meeting promoted false claims and misguided information about vaccines. AAP will continue stepping up and working with our local, state and federal partners to make sure every child in every community continues to have access to immunizations. bit.ly/4puP4uf

You have to admit, this has been the most fascism-y week of this fascism-y month of this fascist administration and it's somehow not even close.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

It’s sort of unnerving to watch the world unravel in slow motion while you’re doing normal stuff like laundry and baking pumpkin bread.

What—and I cannot express this enough—the fuck?! But, you know, Bluesky is radical and dangerous? Meanwhile it’s mostly the place where people who think Trump is a fascist go to share cat videos. 🙃

Aspire to live your life such that, when you die, people wouldn’t rather get fired than say nice things about you.

Just once I want Missouri NOT to be the hellmouth.

What an exhausting time to be able to read

Look, I think KC is a sort of meh city. But if you think I don’t want to go to Kelce’s new restaurant and drink the cocktail named after Taylor Swift’s song, you are mistaken.

The world’s on fire but this is gonna be lit. 🔥🔥🔥 m.youtube.com/watch?v=eHM1...

This would be even funnier if it weren’t how things actually work right now. Without jest. Literally. Not figuratively.

Things most sane Americans do not want: - War with Venezuela - The end of vaccine mandates that protect ALL of our children from deadly diseases - Trump on a Jumbotron

🧵RFKJ and one of his ACIP picks, Robert Malone, appear to be getting ready to restrict the Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) immunizations (nirsevimab and clesrovimab) saying there is a vast cover up of vaccine safety data. As a pediatrician and CDC worker I have two questions for RFKJ about that:

Happy Taylor Swift makes fragile grown men pout by existing season to all who celebrate.

Guys I think I inadvertently peer pressured someone at the grocery store into buying my favorite brand of yogurt. She looked lost. I showed her the way.

I have zero faith RFK Jr’s hearing will result in anything meaningful (his resignation or firing), but I am holding out hope that someone makes him cry a little.

I’m a board-certified pediatrician and I approve this message.

What a perfectly lovely day it would be to fire RFK Jr.

It’s definitely the avocados 😂

there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...

The following things are POLICY DECISIONS: - Homelessness - Mass shootings - Childhood hunger - Unaffordable healthcare - Outbreaks of vaccine-preventable illnesses

Was able to schedule my flu and Covid vaccines at CVS! 🥳 Fuck RFK Jr.

Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.

Watching RFK Jr. destroy public health in America sort of feels like watching Tiger King during the pandemic. Just when you think it can’t get more insane, someone arm gets eaten off.

RKF Jr. is a dangerous man who is determined to abuse his authority to act on truly terrifying conspiracy theories and disinformation—leaving us unprepared for the next deadly pandemic and snuffing out potential cures while he’s at it. My full statement.

Did you know that gun violence is the NUMBER ONE killer of children in the US?

Vaccines do not cause autism.

The single most defining thing a young lady can hope to achieve in her lifetime. The prize of all prizes.
