COVID infection increases clotting risk. New study: Blood from unvaccinated people after recent COVID was more hypercoagulable, and their plasma corrected low clotting (INR) in recipients. This pro-clotting state can persist for ≥6 months after infection. buff.ly/28jDmMu #medsky #hemesky

A huge study from Kaiser Permanente Nor Cal of 69,987 children shows that maternal COVID infection increased the risk of autism by 44% for girls, but not for boys, especially if the infection was in the 1st or 2nd trimester. buff.ly/4tj7zSp #medsky #pedsky #obgynsky

How Vaccines Work 🧬🧫🧪🔬💉🥽

"Ethical research requires that participant safety remains central, not subordinate to hypothesis testing....Vulnerability should never be seen as an opportunity to advance research at the expense of those it claims to serve." @natureportfolio.nature.com www.nature.com/articles/d41...

It's really appalling that in the midst of a preventable surge of measles sweeping across several US states, leading national health authorities are not loudly and publicly recommending vaccination. How many more children need to die for this madness to stop?

Thank you President Jimmy Carter for supporting the eradication of this disease. Amazing!

Monoclonal Antibody (mAbs) study buff.ly/UyotGQZ 😀mAb decreased need for oxygen in high-risk patients 😀mAb not later linked to Long COVID, CV disease, or cognitive decline ☹️mAbs use for acute COVID led to >2x risk of new autoimmune dz like Lupus & Rheumatoid Arthritis #medsky #covidconscious

Happy #Caturday from Canadian illustrator Isabelle Arsenault

Vaccines are so effective that we literally need to look back 100 years ago to see what life (and death) was like with diseases like Measles, Polio, etc. Protect yourself and protect your neighbor.

Nurses are amazing! I don't know how they do it all. #nursesky #professionals #medsky

Hey California, Check to make sure that you and your children are vaccinated against measles with the MMR vaccine.🧒

Public service announcement: RSV was really bad for many patients in the ICU this past week. Please get vaccinated if you are eligible.

“We have seen asthma, allergic rhinitis, hives/urticaria, environmental and food allergies, with the most common being asthma. But then there is also a good subset of patients developing mast cell activation symptoms,” -me www.medscape.com/viewarticle/...

Since polio vaccines may be considered “optional,” do you enjoy the following? Walking, being warm, having energy, driving normally, sports, travel, functional bowel and bladder, strong bones If you enjoy any of the above, then polio vaccines are not optional, they’re common sense #polio #vaccines

The Centers for Disease Control hasn't updated any vaccine-related databases in at least 6 months. Just willful dismantling of the national public health infrastructure. #IDSky www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/...

Dozens of CDC databases are not being updated — most related to vaccines, study finds www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

This is malpractice.

CMSS is proud to stand with science and endorses the AAP's childhood vaccine schedule, recognizing the rigorous, expert-driven, evidence-based process that informs them. Now, more than ever, we must rely on the scientific expertise of specialty societies dedicated to providing high-quality care.

Yay!

I truly hope this is an end to whatever that was. Exploiting research participants especially babies for an unethical study on vaccines should not be allowed anywhere. We know better and have a duty of care to do better. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/22/h...
