This is so devastating. Even if none of the bills are passed, the damage to our public health will be hard to overcome. People no longer trust authorities or experts because they’ve been told lies. It’s very hard to erase or ease the fear seeded with this misinformation.

The fact that we've decreased food allergy rates so much is fantastic, but I still see many parents delay introduction of these foods past 6 months due to the AAP recommendation to start foods after 6 months. Anyone at the AAP know if their recs will change? publications.aap.org/pediatrics/a...

The damage being done to public health will be long term. For those who think things will improve as soon as there’s a new administration, consider the mistrust that is being established. Increasing numbers are now scared of vaccines. Fear is hard to address to make them comfortable with vaccines.

This is a good call. If you follow their account to know what they’re saying, don’t engage with posts. That increases the reach of the misinformation, even if you’re countering what they’re saying. They don’t care about facts, so trying to state them won’t help. Post facts on your own feed.

Rolling Stone has another good article on long covid.

He is completely making things up. We don’t check sperm counts in kids. For those high risk for lie counts I’ve seen a recommendation to return at 18 to check them. Are infant & toddler girls starting puberty now? That’s his math: 6 yrs early. If parents don’t have kids how are they parents?

Exactly opposite of MAGAs plan.

Just what we need to confuse the picture even more. www.medscape.com/viewarticle/...

Yesterday, history happened at the UN: For the first time hundreds of orgs signed a global pledge declaring that healthy indoor air is a human right. Healthy indoor air is a key tool for preventing pandemics, building climate resilience, and increasing health equity. We need it everywhere!

Trying to wrap my head around all that was said in the recent autism announcements, separating facts (often omitted) from fiction. As often happens with propaganda, there is an element of truth that is expanded beyond what it can support. 🧵

His difficulty sounding out acetaminophen supports reports that he struggles with reading. He should have heard this word multiple times in recent days, so if he has intact faculties, he should recognize it. And yet...

Too many bright teens struggle for years with hidden ADHD. By the time they’re diagnosed, it often shows up as anxiety + overwhelm. 💔 I wish we could turn back time to give them proper supports. Early recognition matters. Read more: drkristenstuppy.substack.com/p/bright-kid... #ADHD #MentalHealth

I’m glad he isn’t shying away from this with all that’s going on!

We forget how devastating this infection was prior to the immune protection of vaccines. While many people now boost immunity by infections, these infections are leading to chronic conditions that should be avoided. We need all the layers of protection to be available, including vaccines.

I did hospital rounds early today so I can hear Dr Sue Kressly give a keynote at a local conference this morning. I asked another ped if he was going and he had no idea who she is. I’m saddened by this. She’s been amazing through all the political issues these days and deserves to be recognized.

Who needs a Quack-O-Gram? The list is long…

Public health is a group effort. “You do you” rugged individualism doesn’t work. We vaccinate to protect ourselves and those around us. We vaccinate to protect babies, immunocompromised people and those who can’t receive the vaccine. We’ve eradicated entire diseases. RFK Jr must resign.

This is so very scary.

Americans shouldn’t have to live in a state that values science and stands up against the current administration and their anti vaccine agenda, but this is what we’re potentially facing.

Great to hear! I’ve already gotten my annual flu and Covid vaccines for the season without any cost at the time, but was wondering if I’d get a bill.

This week’s ACIP meeting will be a litany of lies, disinformation, and erosion of trust in actual data. Read more about why this is a problem here: news.immunologic.org/p/rfk-jr-des...

Long Covid is not well defined and symptoms affect many organ systems, likely very under diagnosed, and treatments are not established. Masks aren’t popular. Vaccines are hard to get (if possible at all). Good times.

#ADHD can look different than you think and can be masked in motivated people - meaning many they hide symptoms and miss the support they need. Read about these characters to see if you know someone like them. drkristenstuppy.substack.com/p/how-adhd-can-look-at-different-ages

Come on, states! Protect your residents and join in!!! Require vaccines to be available and covered by insurance.

I submitted a comment 3 days ago and still can't find it when searching by my name or tracking number. Anyone know what the timeline is for comments to show? Should I resubmit?

In light of the RFK Jr hearing yesterday I’ve seen a few people bring up the book Turtles All the Way Down. I created a quick little image for reference if anyone wants it.

Want all people to have access to updated COVID vaccines this fall, as soon as possible? Please join me in making public comments to the CDC. Written comments and oral comment registration are open today 9/2 through 9/13, 11:59pm EDT. precaution.substack.com/p/tell-the-c...

I had the most energizing conversation with Cynthia Hammer of Find the ADHD Girls! We dove into what actually works for ADHD treatment, why girls are still being missed, and how parents can support their kids with more than just meds. Watch the full interview here 👉 youtu.be/iFdCMwdIsZI #ADHD

I’m surprised they’re taking public comments, but happy they are! Tell the ACIP why we need access and availability to vaccines. Pedsky medsky IDsky #covid #longCOVID #vaccineswork #science #publichealth

We need this in every state! (I know this is not going to happen.)

Lives are at stake. The longer RFK Jr is in a position of power, the more death we will see. RFK Jr is working to remove the ability for us to receive the COVID vaccine. Write to your reps today to stop him. This form makes it easy. actionnetwork.org/letters/writ...
