Tylenol is not proven to cause autism or ADHD So if you’re pregnant & require relief from pain, relieve yourself of pain Ignore President Trump Ignore RFK Jr Don’t suffer pointlessly from the opinions of two old men eminently devoid of medical expertise #MedSky

My thoughts on this week’s dangerous & incompetent ACIP meeting. Right now, we can all work to keep medicine aligned instead with expertise Appreciation to @medpagetoday.com & @gfriedman.bsky.social #MedSky www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/seco...

Acetaminophen remains a safe pain relief option during pregnancy. Despite recent unfounded claims, there’s no clear evidence linking prudent use to fetal development issues. ACOG's guidance remains. When needed in pregnancy, acetaminophen should be used in moderation, after consulting a doctor.

The deepest roots of our obstetric outcomes lie in primary care and the general health of our adult populations. #MedSky

Abbe Lowell and I represent CDC Director #SusanMonarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:

Meanwhile…a lawyer with no medical training or expertise, though is nevertheless somehow in charge of HHS, is threatening doctors with civil litigation if they follow the standard of care outlined by their professional organization… #MedSky

The American College of Ob/Gyn has released new expert guidance for COVID, flu & RSV vaccination in pregnancy. Like the AAP, these should now be the vaccination recommendations cited by experts, leaders, journalists, physicians, researchers, policymakers & the media. #MedSky

Access to reproductive expertise has been constricting through L+D closures & providers fleeing punitive laws. This will worsen under Medicaid cuts. Thus this resource’s need. It is additionally anonymous, often sadly a modern necessity #MedSky

These should now be the vaccination recommendations cited by experts, leaders, journalists, physicians, researchers, policymakers & the media. Not the CDC #MedSky

Ever doctor who practices obstetrics needs to say they engage in “abortion related activities” because A) that is medically accurate and B) they will then not be able to exclude everyone

When the media covers opinions from RFKJr, it will be equally important to cover vaccination guidance from professional organizations like the American College of Ob/Gyn & Academy of Pediatrics. When they release their guidelines, it should be front page. #MedSky www.nytimes.com/2025/07/23/h...

Untreated depression is often far more dangerous in pregnancy than risks of SSRIs…including from both maternal and fetal perspectives. Sadly, the FDA is no longer a reliable source of medical expertise #MedSky

The Department of Education exists as a matter of law. The law has not changed So either we still have to have a Department of Education Or we cannot really say that we still have laws.

As a high risk obstetrician, I know that patients with complicated pregnancies reply on Medicaid. With our already tragically poor maternal and infant outcomes, we cannot afford more cuts. Tell Congress to vote no on HR 1: #ObGynsInAction #MedicaidMatters #HandsOffMedicaid @acog.org

Ohio’s new HB33 requires a 24 hour waiting periods before abortion…why? A 24 hour law already exists here, but under indefinite injunction as a violation of our 2023 amendment. A redundant law would not change the basic calculus It’s anti-democracy theater. www.ohiohouse.gov/members/josh...

ACOG-Ohio’s opposition letter regarding the current state budget proposal.

As a Pittsburgh native profoundly embarrassed that the Steelers hired Aaron Rogers. Vaccine disinformation kills people. I’ll be painfully sitting this season out. Not for long as I’m sure he’ll crash and burn, but until then I’ll be patiently counting down the days until he is gone.

Ohio has obstetric deserts that need services, including fetal ultrasound. Instead the current budget is wasting $2.5 mil on 3D ultrasound machines that will be used for non-medical purposes by non-professionals for cute pictures that discourage abortion. This could have been actual medical care

As a high-risk obstetrician this is wildly confusing - which is the intent Obfuscation is a feature, not a bug. This way when patients die they will point to us & say doctors misunderstood, rather than these laws themselves that are clearly going to kill people www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

ACOG is deeply disappointed by HHS’s move to drop COVID-19 vaccine recommendations in pregnancy. The science is clear: COVID-19 remains dangerous in pregnancy and vaccination protects both patients and newborns. The vaccine is safe and protects families. Read our full statement: buff.ly/OGue7sO

Why are mobile medical units which are, formally, large trucks always referred to instead as “vans”? They are not vans. Is the word “van” just more inviting to patients than “truck”? But can’t “vans” also be…a bit creepy? What’s wrong with trucks? #MedSky
