One of the insidious problems with medical disinformation is that it "hogs the air".

We spend time debunking BS and assuaging fears that we could have spent having actually valuable discussions.

👀 First thing at the ACIP meeting: they admitted they didn’t understand what they voted on yesterday for the VFC. 😬 Sad they don’t even grasp the process or what they’re voting on. 🤦‍♂️ #PedsIDsky #Rxsky

ACIP voted to table the Hep B vote. ⏸️ A brief reprieve but concerning signals that some want to delay it beyond 30 days of life, which was on the vote today. 🤔 Infant hep B birth vaccine 💉 works and has dramatically reduced rates, preventing liver cancer, cirrhosis, and death. 💉 #PedsIDsky #Rxsky

💔 Congenital syphilis can cause stillbirth, preterm birth, and severe neurologic or developmental complications all preventable with early care.
🩺 Every missed screening or delayed treatment is a missed opportunity to protect a baby.
