I’ve cared for infants who stopped breathing w/ pertussis. School aged kids who died of flu or COVID. And many of my patients can’t be vaccinated because they’re on chemotherapy or are immune compromised. Vaccinations save lives of those who get them & those who cannot. It’s that simple.

More climate trivia -- here is a graph showing the single hottest day of each year, 1940 - 2024. The only two years breaking 17.0°C are 2023 and 2024, with 2024 the hottest of them all. There appears to be a trend.

A lot of what NIH does is fund basic research into public health that is not profitable for pharmaceutical companies to do. This is what you get with someone who does not believe in research.

I can't figure out if vaccines work or not. Tough one. I can see why RFK Jr is so concerned. Need Sherlock Holmes on this one.

PSA: Gender-affirming care is life-affirming care. Abortion care is life-affirming care. Providing evidence-based healthcare to people who need it is nothing short of life-saving. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇺🇸🙌🏻🙌🏼🙌🏽🙌🏾🙌🏿
