Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

The irony of taking my CITI training about Financial Conflicts of Interest, learning about “then”(1995) and “now” (2011) instead of “now” being 2025, with new (conflicted) ACIP installed and president launching perfume line….

Kinda seems like we're going to need a lot more pediatric ID specialists in the near future. The meetID program introduces premed/med students and residents to careers in peds ID, offers complimentary reg + travel stipend for IDWeek. Apply by June 30. #IDSky pidsfoundation.org/awards/meeti...

Today RFK Jr. fired every member of ACIP, the CDC committee that makes vaccine recommendations. Children will die. This is not ok. Lindsey Graham enabled this.

Secretary Kennedy’s allegations about the integrity of CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices are completely unfounded and will have a significant negative impact on Americans of all ages.
