VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM! However Measles can cause encephalitis and brain damage. Chickenpox can lead to permanent scars. Meningitis has long term consequences like seizures and motor function disorders. Polio can cause respiratory paralysis. Vaccines are SAFE and prevent life long misery.

First let me say what’s most important -- fuck Bill Cassidy

@greenhousemd.bsky.social #medsky

We are witnessing a poisonous effort to destroy what the vast majority of Americans know is a key pillar of public health. Vaccines are responsible for 40% of the reduction in child mortality achieved in the last half century.

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

There’s real irony in this: lawmakers can’t get back to DC to vote to reopen the government because flights are canceled, thanks to the same shutdown they caused.

Back out there on a beautiful Thursday. Lots of honks and waves. So much to stand up against, but so much to stand for. Keep finding the people who will be there with you to keep fighting for everyone else. #FoodNotBallrooms #FoodIsAHumanRight #SaveSNAP #Indivisible Song: Mon Rovîa, “Heavy Foot”

Join us Wednesday, Nov. 12 at 12ET for a discussion on the NICU environment. Faculty, including Robert White, MD; John Zupancic, MD, MS, ScD; Roger F. Soll, MD; Danielle Ehret, MD, MPH, will discuss how infants are impacted by the sensory features of their care environment. #neosky bit.ly/43gdvlQ

I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.

The “Home Goods” White House: @governor.ca.gov

Let's help Clay out here with some math. The $4200/yr. is for a household. Average SNAP household has 1.9 people. So that's $2210/person. $2210/year is $184/month, and that's a little over $6. per day. Clay, let's see you stockpile groceries on $6/day. Hell, let's see you eat on $6/day.

"Ms. Monahan, 61, paid $439 a month for her coverage in 2025. When she went to shop for next year’s plan, she learned that the monthly cost would jump to $1,059 for the same plan with an annual deductible of $7,100..." Thanks, GOP congress! Thanks, Trump! www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/h...

“Go get a real job” is quickly becoming the popular refrain for dealing with these losers

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

The VON team is excited to see you at the jENS conference this week! In addition to hearing about all our programs at booth 40, VON team members and Global Health partners will be presenting in a variety of ways. #neosky

Good morning, America. Nice work yesterday. I love you.

Hasan: Let me say to every Republican and conservative watching. Aren't you the ones that said no more big government? No tyranny in America? If you believe that, what are you doing defending masked federal agents in unmarked cars bundling people off the streets

Wisdom from Schoolhouse Rock.

The uninsured rate, supplemental poverty rate, and food insecurity for children have all increased in recent years. Learn about recent trends and how HR1 and other Trump administration changes could affect children in the coming years: https://on.kff.org/4hgyhHH

www.nytimes.com/2025/10/17/h... Shame on everyone in the administration who contributed to this...so much weakness and false bravado in these decisions that affects lives throughout the world.

One child going hungry in America is one too many – this used to be a value we could all agree upon. The Trump Administration and Congressional Republicans need to do their damn job and start delivering for the American people. Enough is enough.

When the Nazi group chat ruins your talking points

"Kentuckians organizing “No Kings” rallies say the derogatory labels Republicans in D.C. are attaching to the protesters ahead of Saturday’s gatherings are a sign the anti-Trump movement is gaining momentum. They also call the claims absurd and untrue." kentuckylantern.com/2025/10/16/d...

He would rather shut down our government than have you see the truth. It's not complicated.

In a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial conducted in Uganda, the use of permethrin-treated baby wraps significantly reduced the incidence of clinical malaria among young children. Full trial results and Research Summary: nej.md/4msFwwX #MedSky #PedSky #IDSky

On Tuesday evening, Gov. Phil Scott called on Sen. Samuel Douglass to resign after a leaked group chat showed Douglass and his wife using racist and antisemitic language with fellow young Republicans from across the country.

To everyone who says, "But this won't matter": *MAKE IT MATTER.* You have that power! This is not inside baseball and your friends and neighbors will likely be appalled. And if they're *not* appalled, don't be cynical yourself. Take the lead, give the cue.

🧪A good perspective. Mothers from the 1950s, who saw how polio affected children's lives would like a word. For every $ spent on the MMR vaccine, the healthcare system saves $13. Now, The direct medical costs of a measles case is $1793. This translates to $~1.79B/yr for Americans.

Breaking with the CDC, ACOG reaffirms support for #COVID19 vaccination in pregnant people. Here’s what to know. ja.ma/3VYFRwQ

The largest demonstration during Trump’s first term was around 750 events. “We’re now expecting about 2,500 events around the country on No Kings. So we’re talking about literally four times as many.” - @leahgreenberg.bsky.social Please join us on Saturday: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

Yesterday: Trump bragged, "We took the freedom of speech away." Today: New reporting on Trump's plans to go after opposition groups. In 9 days: We mount the largest peaceful protest in modern history to say, loud and clear, that America has no king. nokings.org

This guy is in charge of US health care.

“Secretary Kennedy is entitled to his views. But he is not entitled to put people’s health at risk.” Six former surgeons general condemn RFK Jr.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

On service now and have found some success referring to Beyfortus as “RSV protection.”

"The US is one of the most dangerous developed countries for giving birth" In Mississippi nearly 10 babies die for every 1,000 live births. For Black babies, it was even higher at 15.2. All of this will get worse with the cuts to Medicaid. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

The director of foreign and defense policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute: "Their words should leave no doubt in anyone’s mind that the civilian leadership intends to use the threat and actuality of violence to infringe on Americans’ constitutional rights."

These people are absolute trash.

Enjoy some truth about the #TrumpShutdown @markwarner.bsky.social

Study in JAMA Pediatrics estimates that vaccinating pregnant women against COVID-19 prevented 7,000 hospitalizations in infants and 3,000 in pregnant women from January 2024 to May 2025.  #Medsky www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/cov...

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

Please, please, please submit a comment.

Remember that we’re being lied to whenever we’re told that we can’t afford something that benefits families. Just a couple of weeks ago Congressional Republicans voted to make ICE richer than most of world’s militaries.

Californians — don’t take medical advice from President Bleach. Trust your doctor.

The degree to which those comments can undermine public health, do harm to women who are pregnant, create anxiety for parents who do have children who are autistic – is violence against the truth.
