Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

My thoughts as well.
I abhor violence of any kind, and the prevalence of guns in this country. I also abhor MAGA/Trump and the damage they are doing to this country and the harm they are causing humansand the environment.

One of the lesser known benefits of childhood vaccines is that they protect infants from meningitis. Unless you want your child to get a spinal tap when they come to the ER with a fever, you should vaccinate that child.

I’m so proud of my Senator Ron Wyden.
Wyden on RFK Jr: "This committee's unwillingness to swear in this witness is basically a message that it is acceptable to lie to the Senate Finance Committee about hugely important questions like vaccines."

I'm very hopeful about this.

This is a great example of confirmation bias.
Loser former heroin addict and apologist for the man who murdered his father with a gun wants to falsely blame school shootings on SSRIs.

This is worth the read. We are gutting scientific leadership and innovation. I’m afraid the US won’t be able to come back from it.
Worth reading this whole letter. What a great American—you could teach this in school, if schools ever accurately cover this period in history
Full resignation letter from Demetre C. Daskalakis, a CDC leader, does not hold back.
"The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning. My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud."

I support the AAP’s position on childhood vaccines. #vaccinessavelives
AAP's immunization recommendations are based only in the science, the needs of children, and the care that pediatricians have for the children in every community. If you have any questions about our recommended schedule, reach out to your pediatrician.
