Our VFC COVID vaccines arrived on Friday a full 23 days after our private insurance ones.

A meaningless delay that is 100% the result of RFK Jr and Jim O'Neill's incompetence.

I’m not an OB, but I’ve been to a lot of deliveries and I’m sure 100 people have said this already but, our head of HHS doesn’t know where babies come from.

RFK Jr: "Somebody showed me a TikTok video of a pregnant woman at 8 months pregnant -- she's an associate professor at the Columbia Medical School -- and she is saying 'F Trump' and gobbling Tylenol with her baby in her placenta. The level of Trump Derangement Syndrome is now a pathology."

The United States gives approximately 6.6 million doses of MMR per year. Each single dose vial contains 1.76 grams of glass, rubber, and aluminum. Add another 3 grams each for the syringe and needle.

This one change will add 62.8 metric tons of SHARPS BIOHAZARD WASTE per year.

The MMR shot is safe and effective, and there is no credible evidence otherwise.

Breaking MMR into three shots means 3x more copays at the doctor’s office, 3x more hours of missed work, 3x more bummed out kiddos, and probably more than 3x as many kids who aren’t fully vaccinated.

Thank you! I made a list of local accounts that I trust too since many topics are impacted by local resources and rules. Not all are on bluesky

Acetaminophen doesn’t cause autism.
Vaccines don’t cause autism.
Science isn’t about how anyone feels.
Pediatricians fight fever phobia daily.
Picture stating “taking a moment of science”

They’re only going after Tylenol because the president of the United States can’t say acetaminophen. 🤦‍♂️

Primary care doctors have enough on our plate. We don't need or want this change.

Levi might know this if he went to medical school.

Dr. Levi, you don't have the authority to make something require a prescription, actually. That's not part of what ACIP does.

In case you’re wondering, it’s barely fall & our children’s hospital is already almost always full with kids boarding in the ER.

And the pediatric workforce is stretched thin.

Our system does not have the capacity to care for the influx of vaccine preventable diseases that is coming.

Given separately but at the same visit so no extra visit, just two pokes instead of one.

Important reminder: it is currently the recommendation to give the MMR and Varicella vaccines separately at the 12-15 month visit. The combo can be given if parents prefer, after a discussion about risks/benefits, but this whole discussion is performative. #ACIP

Monarez: "He did not have any data or science to point to. In fact, we got into an exchange where I suggested I would be open to changing childhood vaccine schedules if the evidence or science were supportive. He responded there was no science or evidence associated w/the childhood vaccine schedule"
