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.

I'm aware that the Trump Administration's HHS Dept is now on Bluesky.

Due to concerns the account and other branches of HHS will share medical/vaccine misinformation using #Medsky feeds, I've made the decision to preemptively add the HHS account to a Misinformation Blocklist hosted by @medsky.info.

But they're making it easy to give away babies.

There are so many more negatives than positives to baby boxes.

Why Baby Boxes Are Suddenly Everywhere

Devices to help parents anonymously surrender an infant are spreading across the U.S., stirring emotions and debate.

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?

RFK Jr: "Today the average teenager in this country has 50% of the sperm count, 50% of the testosterone of a 65 year old man. Our girls are hitting puberty 6 years early ... our parents aren't having children."

What you don’t know won’t kill you - is that what they’re hoping for?

It served its purpose for sure, but medsky has done a fabulous job bringing all medical fields together, so moving things there makes sense.

I trained before this was common and I recall thinking the procedure itself was so fast and the lidocaine injection hurts so it was a wash, but not I can’t imagine doing one without lidocaine.

I use a lidocaine ring block with sucrose pacification because the lidocaine stings going in.

This is so very bad.

For more information about the Friday night massacre at CDC, I wrote up an analysis of who got terminated and what that means for public health.

Grateful to @saveamericamvmt.bsky.social for supporting and amplifying. We are in really terrible trouble.

I haven’t been keeping it up much and eventually will sunset it to decrease confusion with all the pedsky feeds. The Medsky account has made wonderful feeds for all sorts of healthcare areas, so follow their pediatric feed!

In my area Tylenol is not used for circumcision. They will need to identify which babies get Tylenol before just saying circumcision to make a valid point. Of course I don’t expect that level of precision from them.

Kristen Stuppy, MD, FAAP @pediatricskc.medsky.social · 8d

Babies don’t get Tylenol after circumcision in my area.

Rates of autism don’t correlate with rates of circumcision.

Rates of autism in girls are rising as we recognize them more. They aren’t circumcised.

This whole statement is wrong and part of an agenda. See it for what it is.

Thanks for the shout out! I feel stretched out with all the socials. My personal FB page (@ questforhealthkc) doesn’t have many followers but my office page that I admin (@ pediatricpartnersopks) does. I love the others you suggested too!
