ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

What’s the optimal cefazolin dose for MSSA CNS infections?
New PK/PD data says: it’s not just about higher doses—MIC matters.
2g q6h works only if MIC <=0.5 mg/L
For MIC:1-2 mg/L, continuous infusion (10–12g/day) may be needed to hit PD targets #idsky

So the kid in BC with H5N1 was very sick to the point of needing ECMO. While the majority of human cases have not been severe, this virus has the potential to be as bad as other H5N1s.
At population scale, even infrequently, this is millions of people.

The great irony of this is that the incredible success of vaccinations allows for the skepticism of them. If these diseases were common and we saw vaccines preventing severe diseasen in vaccinated people and deaths in unvaccinated people, there wouldn’t be a question. 1/
This is a lie. And it’s an abhorrent lie because the goal of this lie is to prevent polio vaccination and kill even more people.
RFK Jr.,Trump's nominee to lead the HHS, suggested that the Polio vaccine "killed many, many more people" than polio ever did.

Health insurance industry PR is working overtime right now diverting blame to physicians for claim denials and rising costs. I feel compelled to remind everybody that Optum (UHC) is the largest employer of physicians in the US. We have never had less power in healthcare than we do right now.
