We have choices.
We do not have to normalize the acts of a fascist administration by characterizing them as “political differences.”
We do not have to obey in advance.
We can tap into our courage.
We can call out cruelty.
We can tend to our neighbors.
We can act from love

In 35+ years as a primary care pediatrician, I NEVER was paid for immunizing children. Please don't believe that we financially benefit from vaccinating kids.

New: Biden admin officials say they have no current plans to authorize a bird flu vaccine.
The move means any decisions about a bird flu shot will likely be left to health officials in the incoming Trump admin, who may be led by anti-vaccine activist RFK Jr.

Biden administration has no current plans to authorize a bird flu vaccine for humans
Officials are monitoring the outbreak, but say that a vaccine is not yet warranted because the virus isn't spreading among people or causing severe illness.

Button batteries pose deadly risks to children. Doctors want them to be made safer. A growing list of medical associations are pushing for battery manufacturers to make a button or “coin cell” battery that will not lead to devastating injuries when swallowed.
