The NFL has to cancel this game. Please. Every player on that field is now a cosurvivor of a horrifying medical trauma. They need to be with loved ones, not playing football.

Hopefully, this "Fast Facts" PDF will give clinicians what they need to know about the new data on bivalent vaccines.

At this point, my son is watching cartoon movies in middle school since he one of the nine students in his class. If there is so much student (and teacher!) absenteeism that educational lessons are "The Secret Life of Pets", isn't it time to call off school?

To all my fellow pediatricians, nurses, RTs, APRNs, ER docs, PICU staff, transport, all who are on the front lines of this illness wave AND all the parents who have been dutifully taking care of these kids for WEEKS. I see you. I am with you. We will get through this.

If your child has a fever, please give them fever-reducer BEFORE coming to the doctor's office. We trust they had a fever. We don't need to "see it." And, we can better examine kids when they are cooler and more comfortable. Signed, All Pediatricians

Cosign.
I take care of thousands of kids a year. I know lots of pediatricians. Who is seeing all of the vaccine-injured and dying children? Because we are not. This garbage is not true and is leading to a distrust in science and vaccines that will actually cause kids to die.

Question for the Docs— In what ways has the Pandemic changed how you practice? I’m thinking about things like changes to your common instructions or advice, anticipatory guidance or direct patient care work. #MedTwitter #tweetiatrician

To the specialist who commented, "I'm unsure why the PMD sent her to me for this issue..." Please revise the record to "I'm unsure why this patient's parent self-referred her for this issue in which I do not specialize."
