@flyingandcfb @babbymd The health and safety of your child(ren) is absolutely your pediatrician's business. What exactly do you take your kids to the doctor for?

@babbymd It's still none of your business

People keep saying "unprecedented" like there's never been an election when a Dem incumbent drops out, RFK is running, the Dem convention is in Chicago, there's an unpopular foreign war, the Rep nominee is a crook who thinks he's above the law, and a leading candidate gets shot

have y’all noticed how Black women are collectively bracing themselves for the hate they’ll get during this election season now that Harris is running? this is what we mean when we speak of “chronic/anticipatory stressors w/ adverse health consequences” they regularly endure smh

Academic summer

Wow. Let's work through *all* the slides Yale School of Public Health shared... 🌎"What we know (and don't) know about Covid's effect on the immune system" 🧵

@evolutionarypsy @MeganDuffyPhD Yep. I get low ferritin frequently and can't tolerate oral iron - I know it's time to get an IV refill when my legs are preventing sleep.

@HumanOrrigins @averybones @YaleRadiology @YaleRadRes @Yale_IR Tell her I'll give her the lowdown on pizza anytime she wants! Welcome to New Haven, Avery!

@averybones @YaleRadiology @YaleRadRes @Yale_IR I am so happy for you, Avery! And Yale is lucky to nab the physician/anatomist/anthropologist triple threat!

I’m so unbelievably thrilled to have matched at my dream program for Interventional Radiology @YaleRadiology!! It’s such an honor to join the team and I feel so fortunate for everyone that has helped me get here!! @YaleRadRes @Yale_IR #Match2024 #futureradres

@QUNetterMed class of 2024 - you got this, brilliant ones. So proud of all you've done and all you're going to do.

EpiPens are toxic in space and NASA didn't know! In fact, a group of elementary school students figured it out. Here's the story 🧵

I’ve seen many fundraisers in prisons. People living on enslaved wages, just pennies an hour, who’ve been denied of their basic needs and dehumanized give what they have to protect and support others. It’s always inspiring and infuriating—from one dark corner to the other.

@Greg72639498 @Vivid__Illusion @JamesFLoveIV Rate of measles vaccination in Mexico is 99% (much higher than in the US). South American countries also have high rates, higher than some communities in the US with lots of anti-vaxxers. Stop blaming immigrants.

@Vivid__Illusion @JamesFLoveIV What?

Before we knew she was pregnant, my first wife contracted measles. Our daughter lived 10 days. Good luck Florida.

A beautiful reminder of things that are easy to forget in our day to day.

"How did you get that scar on your shoulder?" "Oh, a boy I barely knew was sad once."

Living with the permanent, legitimate fear that on any given day your children could slaughtered with a weapon of war isn’t freedom. It’s madness.

@end4ira @fuzzymittens I belonged to a breastmilk donation FB page and people were constantly asking for "unvaxxed" milk, but were fine with milk from someone who had had COVID. 🤦‍♀️

@end4ira @fuzzymittens I'm certain the antibodies present from vaccination are identical to the antibodies present from getting the disease. So you could tell one of those things happened, but not which one.
