Only about 25% of U.S. women exclusively breast-feed for their infants’ first 6 months. After her own struggles, these statistics seem realistic to a physician-mother, who previously had no concept...

This thing has rapidly become the world’s exasperating good news/bad news story. If your head isn’t spinning, you’re not paying attention. A 🧵on my take on both the good news & the bad, with an emphasis on the things that have changed in the past few days... or minutes.(1/25)

While I appreciate the acknowledgement of rising #covid19 cases in colorado, can’t help but point out that there is still very little masking indoors in Colorado, despite this being #cdc guidelines. Would push @jaredpolis to enact an indoor mask mandate until cases under control
Good move by Colorado Governor @jaredpolis. The FDA and CDC should act quickly to recommend #covid19 vaccine boosters for all adults, ahead of winter and holiday gatherings.
