Fun fact: mold doesn’t really have any evidence based health concerns other than allergy and asthma triggers. It’s not good for you, but it’s not really going to cause autoimmune issues, behavior problems, or the other myriad of health effects the internet tells you. #AAP #NCE2025

It’s an idea as popular as it is incorrect: American babies now receive too many vaccines, which overwhelm their immune systems and lead to conditions like autism.

Vaccines today are more efficient and contain far fewer stimulants to the immune system than some used decades ago.

Sadly, it’s a good time to once again share this amazing infographic that we ran at @science.org more than 7 years ago

Shoulda known better. Got contacted to be on some “best of” magazine and I scheduled a call to go over my details. Next thing I know they are talking about a nearly $2000 fee to participate. I declined and then told I would be “sponsored”but the dues are $200/m. Nope. I’m in Peds. Not neurosurg.

Stop food shaming people (including yourself!). Especially not on holidays.
You don't have to exercise to earn the right to eat this week.

You don't have to fast in anticipation of Thursday

You don't have to discuss your body or intake

You have permission to enjoy the holiday and rest

You definitely dont have to participate in the Turkey Trot
