A long but must-read summary of #autism - hint, it has nothing to do with Tylenol or vaccines….. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/o...

www.cbc.ca/news/politic... The complete lack of self awareness and diplomacy is just shocking .

Has anyone found the newest Covid vaccine in the GTA ??

Hoping this helps restore some sanity to a world turned upside down. One can only hope.

To preemies, ex-preemies, and their families and NICU teams and their admirers—happy #NICUawarenessMonth! #pedsky

I, as should you, trust the experts. Ignore the background noise. This is what you need to know.

I remember getting my first COVID vaccine in December 28, 2020. I teared up with relief because my city had bodies stored in refrigerated trailers and we had kids dying from COVID in our PICU. I got a COVID and a Flu vaccine today. I am still verklempt and grateful.

Elijah is four years old and had a liver transplant not long ago. He is immunocompromised and has trouble with viruses that would give the rest of us the cold. People like him are why we should all vaccinate. www.voicesforvaccines.org/kids-w-trans...

Any government that removes vaccine mandates will need a contingency plan to ; •improve patient access to timely medical care • increase pediatric medical &PICU beds • ensure paediatric medical and nursing expertise Paediatricians are already on guard and prepared but we cannot do it alone

Vaccines are scrupulously and rigorously researched, trialed, tested and continuously monitored. I get a little tired repeating this but it’s important. They are not the villain but the potentially fatal diseases they prevent are. I and my colleagues have seen them all.

Called my vaccine distribution pharmacy looking for my C19 booster. They have no idea when it will be available.

Winston - the best boi ever on #NationalDogDay.

I want the record to show that PM Trudeau was instrumental in getting domestic manufacturing of vaccines in Canada. You know who shut down scientific research & drug manufacturing in Canada? Harper. When we talk about building Canada & being self-reliant, conservatives are all talk & no action.

I once sat in on Dr. Ronald McDonald’s clinic during med school. He gave a great vaccination!

The reason why this matters: We need the support of our professional orgs if we are going to be making recommendations beyond the FDA and CDC. There is always a risk of side effects so having institutional backing is appreciated.

I struggled today keeping on time as the kids, when asked what they did this summer, gave long narratives about their trips & activities w/ the excitement and wonder that only they can express. Not everyone waiting was happy and let me know but I do what I do. 🤷🏻

Co-sign The AAP “recommends the COVID vaccine for all young children age 6 months through 23 months. Children younger than 2 years old are at highest risk for severe COVID-19.” [And - see next post below] www.healthychildren.org/English/heal...

A patient with type 1 diabetes has begun producing his own insulin after receiving a transplant of pancreatic cells. For the first time, islet cells have been edited so they wouldn't be rejected by the patient, removing the need for immunosuppressant drugs. www.sciencealert.com/first-of-its...

This good boi changed our lives 7 yrs ago. Happy birthday to the best friend anyone could have. 🥰

Canada needs to fix its massive measles outbreak and the solution is simple: mandatory school vaccines - no more conscience/religious exemptions. @rmcarpiano.medsky.social: “provincial school vaccination requirements are far weaker than most US states.” www.cidrap.umn.edu/measles/more...

Is it the same gene responsible for eating a whole tub of chocolate/peanut butter ice cream??

There are good folks in this world. Shout out to Shamane who turned up the A/C, her Whitney playlist, and then drove all the way back to return my dropped cell phone to absolutely save my day. #BestUberDriver

She can protocol and read the most complicated MRI images on site and remotely from home when on call but EVERY single time I need to set up her Bluetooth speaker to her music.

I hate what e-bikes and e-scooters do to kids. I also hate golf carts if I'm being honest

Uggggh. It was bound to happen. Check yourself and your partner ((and the pooch) for ticks when you get off the trails.

Australia is in flu season. It’s not looking good. Hoping we have a reliable stock of vaccines for September/October.

Those of us who spoke out against antivaxxers early and often were told we should be more understanding We did understand - they’re dangerous and that’s why we spoke out. It’s not too late. Speak up - this misinformation is more dangerous by the day. www.theguardian.com/society/comm... few

The IPad of my generation.

This doctor (allegedly): - Destroyed $28,000 worth of vaccine doses - Made about $100,000 by falsifying medical and public health records for around 2000 people - Tricked children into thinking they were vaccinated by injecting saline The implications of dismissing this case are enormous.

Starting another trip around that fiery orb in the sky. Gotta tell you, that last one in Helios’ chariot was a doozy!!

Superman 2025. Saw it in 4D with the rumble sears, spraying water, air gusts and laser lights. Never mind the critics this was 10/10 pure entertainment. And this pooch scene,…. 🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰

A toddler or child can drown in 5 cm of water. Even the shallowest water can be dangerous. Here’s what you can do to keep your child safe.

Fridays are for paperwork!🥵

Mattel introduces its first Barbie doll with type 1 diabetes in response to the rapidly increasing number of childen with diabetes. The doll wears a continuous glucose monitor while holding a phone displaying an accompanying app. www.statnews.com/2025/07/09/m...

www.ctvnews.ca/toronto/arti... With Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever now being reported in Ontario and the ticks I’m being asked to identify in office I’m thinking at this point that there needs to be a separate subspecialty in Tick medicine.

Happy Canada Day,…. forever.

@maryfernando.bsky.social the forever mystery how you obtained your parlor room carousel horse is now solved.

HAPPY FATHERS DAY It can all be a little overwhelming, we make mistakes, they often run to mom but in the end they know you will always be there for them. 🥰

Children with COVID or MIS-C show major metabolic changes, like high triglycerides and inflammation, that mirror severe adult COVID infection. These shifts could raise long-term heart risks, especially after MIS-C. More follow-up is urgently needed. buff.ly/f4nIdfO #medsky #pedsky 🛟🧪😷

I only hope that our previously taken-for-granted-procurement for the vaccine this fall remains intact.

Results of kids of pregnant moms infected with Covid “At 6 months, 33.3% of infants exhibited cognitive delays 20% communication delays, 40% motor delays, increasing to 35.71%, 64.29%, and 57.14% at 24 months, respectively” Maskup. If not for you, for your baby www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I have no idea who oversees vaccine procurement in 🇨🇦 but their job has just become more daunting as the usual sources may soon dry up.

Canada Strong passes encourage Canadians to vacay in Canada: free access to national parks and historic sites and a single pass that would give young people under 18 free seats on Via Rail when travelling with their parents. Details coming. #CanadaStrong www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic...

"Ivermectin is effective in treating animals and humans with intestinal worms and other parasites, but it shows no worth in treating other conditions, including viruses. However, more politicians are pushing to make it available to anyone." www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Kids with respiratory illnesses are not doing well. While it is nice to get out with the warmer weather the air quality can worsen some conditions. Be vigilant. #Wildfiresmoke

“Ontario baby dies after being born prematurely with measles” We should all be outraged by the lack of rigorous guidance. To hell with the stupid politics to pretend all is fine. It’s not fine! Measles is airborne. Vaccinate, respirator/N95, clean air, ventilation globalnews.ca/news/1121470...

Was going to play with my new Switch 2 but watching the internet today is a hell of a lot more fun!!

To 12 yo released from PICU after ATV rollover. Me: Not being preachy but did you learn any lessons? He: Yes. To drive adult sized ATVs and not the mini ones. Me/mother: 😶
