I don’t think people outside of healthcare realize how much AAP is standing out as a moral backbone of medicine right now, especially in pediatrics. There is so much fear at institutions. Seeing an org directly and repeatedly targeted refuse to budge an inch is extraordinary.
AAP: ‘Stop wasting government resources to amplify false claims’ about vaccines, autism
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has updated its website to include false claims linking vaccines and autism, prompting a swift rebuke from the AAP and other medical experts.

Emmanuel walked away from his mom’s fruit stand to find a bathroom. She looked for him all over Houston, and after several hours, she filed a missing person’s report with Houston PD. Houston firefighters found him within 24 hours. But police turned him over to ICE, who held him captive for 48 days.
Emmanuel, a 15-year-old with intellectual disabilities, wandered away from his mom’s fruit stand in October.
She reported him missing to Houston police. But instead of reuniting them, the city turned him over to ICE.
“They’re failing all of us,” his mom said.

MAHA is predicated on blaming patients exclusively for having chronic illnesses. It is not driven by outcomes, but by marketing. It is not focused on giving patients the tools to manage their chronic conditions—it's a supplement ad masquerading as healthcare.
Dr. Oz said if we want to keep healthcare costs down, we should just get healthier. Why didn’t we think of that before? 🤔
