In 1900, 31% of all deaths were children under the age of 5. Today it’s 0.7%. Vaccines, medications, and modern science are the reason why. Trust the science, it’s been proven to work safely and efficiently time and time again.

Horrific.

One figure burned into my brain from pulm fellowship is the relationship between inhaled steroid use and MORTALITY in asthma.

Inadequate access to inhaled steroids will cause people to suffocate to death. #EMIMCC

If you're protesting this weekend, know your rights when interacting with law enforcement, including immigration agents.
Black graphic with text: "Know Your Protest Rights. You don't need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don't need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as you're not obstructing traffic or access to buildings.When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police.If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries.If you get stopped by the police, ask if you're free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away.If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don't sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present.If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement office at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you'll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney-no matter your citizenship or immigration status.”Know Your Rights. White ACLU logo. Dark blue background with text: "Know Your Rights When Interacting With Immigration Agents. If you’re in a public space, you can ask if you're free to leave. If so, you can calmly walk away.You have the right to remain silent, even if you’re arrested. You do not have to discuss your immigration status with anyone. If you’re arrested, you can say that you wish to remain silent until speaking with a lawyer.You have the right to refuse consent to a search.If you have valid immigration documents, you’re required to show them. Never provide fake documents.You have the right to record your interaction with immigration agents as long as you do not interfere.If you’re at home, you do not have to open the door. ICE agents may not enter unless they have a warrant signed by a judge (have them slip it under the door). If they force their way in, do not resist, but you can remain silent."Know Your Rights.
