This is hilarious. @glaucomflecken.bsky.social

Props to all the OBs out there. Absolutely badass profession. Sorry these creeps are making your job harder.

it's so funny to see America's health insurance companies be like "look. If there's one thing we love it's denying you care. but we ran the numbers - and we cannot BELIEVE we're saying this - and it's cheaper for us to just pay for the vaccines than deal with you going to the ER."

My oldest received their first hepatitis B vaccine before they were put into my arms, and I wouldn’t have had it any other way.

There is so much to love about The Pitt, but Katherine LaNasa’s perfect Pittsburgh accent was one of the best parts.

It should be needless to say, but it is perhaps at this moment worth saying, that transgender individuals have the same right as anyone else to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

About this Florida vaccine story: When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough. We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated. “Oh, they’d have died.”

Nobody is talking about this, but Casey Means was nominated as surgeon general on and referred to the Senate HELP Committee on June 2. As of July 31, the committee has not advanced her nomination due to missing paperwork. The Surgeon General has to have a medical license, which she does not have.

So I finally get to see Messi play in person? #SeattleSounders

Pour one out for the pediatrician who has lost his child’s sports eligibility form the week before school starts. #PedsSky

Also important this week: A trustworthy guide to childhood vaccine schedules, from actual pediatricians (many of whom saw these diseases before they could be vaccinated against). * pin it & share it * Ps: no, pediatricians are not pharma shills, don’t @ me www.healthychildren.org/English/safe...

I remember the worst day for crime in Washington D.C.'s history and whose fault it was.

Trisomy 18 is usually fatal within weeks of birth. Some families are getting more time, with surgeries, luck and incredible effort. This is the story of what Noah, and his family, are up against. https://nyti.ms/44Z7TgU

HAHAHAHAHAHA *inhales* HAHAHAHAHAHA

Kennedy think schizophrenia can be cured with dietary changes…and wants to cut SNAP benefits.

a thin white woman in head to toe lululemon screaming at these thugs makes me think ICE has jumped the shark

Again..he’s trying to gut the ACA through the back door. If there is no USPSTF to give A or B recommendations, then will insurance still have to cover vital preventive services?

So the goal of MAHA is to make people think eating fast food is healthy.

My kids used to see Dr. Merchant, and loved her!

Fentanyl cannot get into your system unless you ingest it. “Fentanyl exposure” is not a thing. If the police don’t know basic chemistry or physics then they probably should stop cosplaying as experts on toxicology

Kamala Harris campaigned on making home care part of Medicare, which would’ve greatly eased the issue of caring for our parents. But Trump won so we not only didn’t get that, we’re getting devastation of nursing homes as well. This is going to ruin a lot of families.

RFK Jr is now trying to gut the ACA through the back door. Reshaping the USPSTF could result in many losing coverage for evidence based preventive care.

Nothing is more American right now on the 4th of July than my kids watching illegal fireworks at our local park, only to have the display disrupted by a shooting. (We’re all fine.)

I visited a public health clinic in Ghana in 2005, and asked a physician there wha the refusal rate for vaccines was. He replied, “0%. Why would they deny this opportunity?” I calmly explained that in the US, a nonsignificant number of parent declined vaccines. He just shook his head in disbelief.

The men in my generation are the fucking WORST. They bullied me and my friends, and now they're bullying the country. Fuck those guys.

Told my wife about today's Supreme Court decision to punish my child for being who they are and she flashed a smile of defiance that could shatter glass. They haven't made us sad, they've made us angry, and we are ready to fight

RFK Jr's new 'vaccine panel' has been chosen by RFK Jr for 1 reason only: to roll back vaccines. That's their remit. He's arguably the world's most dangerous, extreme & notorious anti-vaxx activist, & he peddles horrific, dangerous, anti-scientific BS. His panel is there just to rubber stump his BS.

Powerful sign from a #NoKings protest in Washington state. Vaccines save lives!

You do not have to say “pro vaccine groups.” You can say the vast majority of doctors and scientists and the American Medical Association.

And here's the area where last night's curfew was. That large gray area is the City of Los Angeles. Not to be confused with the greater Los Angeles area. That tiny green spot (next to the red pin in the overall map) is why Trump has sent hundreds of federal agents and troops into California.

BREAKING: An enormous peaceful protest has broken out in Los Angeles in defiance of Donald Trump’s ICE raids. This is how it’s done.

I support the MLS players and their complaints about unfair compensation in light of FIFA CWC tournament pay-outs

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

Pharmacy benefit managers’ business practices have operated with little regulation, transparency, and accountability for far too long. Illinois is putting an end to that and leading the nation in bringing transparency to PBM drug pricing.

I believe these are the death panels Sarah Palin warned us about.

I care the sickest of children w/ chronic illnesses. Their resiliency inspires me. They & their parents are close to my heart. It is soul crushing to have others dismiss their setbacks , often profound, when they contract old and new viruses because they have “preexisting” diseases. Just stop.

This is a PSA (no pun intended) that we don’t routinely screen men over 75 for prostate cancer, so diagnosing prostate cancer at stage 4 is not unusual for a man in his 80s.
