Are Childhood Vaccines ‘Overloading’ the Immune System? No.
Vaccines today are more efficient and contain far fewer stimulants to the immune system than some used decades ago.

No women will lead a House committee for the first time in two decades after House Republicans revealed their list of committee leaders for the 119th Congress. No people of color were selected, either.

The 17 standing committees will be dominated by white men when the new Congress is seated on Jan. 3. No people of color were selected, either.

Our study found that nearly 40% (!) of 12-21 yo females are iron deficient.

But did you know that in addition to many physical symptoms, iron deficiency is associated with multiple mental health issues?

If you’ve been on Bluesky for a while and have a sense that this is a small community where you can say anything without blowback from fascists, be aware that the recent exodus from Twitter has put a new spotlight here. I know most people don’t care, but it’s good to be reminded this is all public.

Toxicologist here for any fluoride concerns! The amount of fluoride added to water to prevent tooth decay is so minuscule that—no matter your age, size, or health status—you would die from water poisoning long before you could ever even start getting toxicity from fluoride. Fluoridated water is safe

Pertussis in infants is terrifying but it’s not just the cough.
It’s the fact that babies literally STOP BREATHING.
~2/3 of infants hospitalized have apnea (life threatening pauses in breathing)
Vaccination starts at 2 mo so it’s important EVERYONE is immunized to protect our littlest ones.
