“I would die for my family” Sir, if you happen to come to your child’s appointment, you don’t even know their allergies and you say you’re gonna have to talk to their mom before you consent the vaccines.

My dear siblings in the Force, Pro choice and Pro vaccine are mutually exclusive. Comparing abortion and vaccines is false equivalence. An abortion is a medical procedure to save a woman’s life. A vaccine is a medication that when it is used by a community can keep the community safe and healthy.

Pediatrician Here 👋🏻 What is the problem with the US healthcare system? - for profit Hospital system (filing taxes as nonprofit) - for-profit insurance companies - for-profit politicians Universal healthcare now.

Pediatrician Here 👋🏻 Anti vaccine propaganda has manipulated parents and patients with fear. They no longer believe in the Danger of vaccine-preventable infections. Unfortunately the infections always prove evidence based physicians correct.

Pediatrician Here 👋🏻 To all the Covidiot Conspiracy Theorists: A hearty 🖕🏻if you are taking advantage of a story of an athlete having a blood clot to spread disinformation. Sometimes adults get blood clots. Especially if they had Covid infection and did not get vaccinated recently.

I have had a Covid vaccine eight separate times. I have maybe had Covid once. Many of us have avoided Covid with the vaccine The vast majority of us, the vaccinate do not have blood clots. Enough with the fear mongering around the Covid vaccine!

Also, Actual evidence based physicians see that most of the people “claiming” that Covid vaccine is causing blood clots are also trying to sell you some type of “spike detox” supplement that does absolutely nothing and cost an exorbitant amount of money.

Advocating for gun responsibility has taught me a few things about others. Most parents (85%) agree. 👍🏻 The adults that disagree are white, male, anxious, and suspiciously single. Half are old and don’t have young children any more.

Pediatrician here 👋🏻 Restricting access to guns to people who are domestic violence abusers, mentally unstable, and incapable of providing safe storage seems like “a well regulated militia” to me. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thanks to @unbiasedscipod.bsky.social for pointing out the misinformation about COVID vaccines currently on the CDC's website. I am highlighting the pregnancy and lactation changes here. We have hundreds of studies to answer about the safety and effectiveness - #MedSky + #ObGynSky + #ReproSky.

Pediatrician Here 👋🏻 The fact that we’re sitting here in 2026 and yet another mass shooting has taken the lives of three children and nothing is going to be done is Devastating. 🫩😢😭 The number one cause of death in children one to five years old is gun violence.

Pediatrician Here 👋🏻 Autism Spectrum Disorder Is NOT neurological inflammation. That’s likely from infections: PANS. Can a child have allergies 🤧 and ASD? YES. Does mold, inflammation, food allergies cause ASD? ABSOLUTELY NOT.

Pediatrician Here 👋🏻 It’s so hard Not to point fingers at bad actors. It does not build trust in pediatricians. Pediatricians truly want to put their patients first and their parents’ anxiety second.

Respiratory viruses, like measles, RSV, or the flu, can be especially dangerous for infants. Why? Because the baby’s airways are tiny - about the width of a straw. Any swelling can restrict breathing fast.  Consider getting vaccinated or consider getting monoclonal antibody against RSV.

Bot 🤖 Check 🎙️ Vaccines 💉 Save Lives MMR doesn’t cause autism Vaccines 💉 don’t cause SIDS Vaccines 💉 don’t overwhelm your immune system The kakistocracy is full of p3dos The Cornell 7 should be imprisoned

If an individual who was using fame and adjacency to a billionaire to profiteer, and now is using that same adjacency to the billionaire to profiteer off of a different group of people that they originally disagreed with; I do not have empathy for them. I do not trust them.

Life of a Pediatrician: Three days ago, I’m at conference and meeting other pediatricians on social media and taking selfies with them. Then back to work yesterday and I went to go see a baby at the hospital and took a selfie with him.
