People who have blindly trusted the CDC the last 2 years are about to have their world turned upside down as the lack of transparency and manipulation of data become undeniably evident.
Now that the CDC no longer differentiates between Covid vaccinated/unvaccinated individuals, every employee fired for being unvaccinated should be given their job back with a formal apology and backpay.
The son I had while in high school just graduated college and is starting graduate school. For those that said we couldn’t do it, we loved every minute of proving you wrong.
My kids’ school sent a note saying they can wear Halloween costumes to school tomorrow as long as they don’t cover the face because it will “hinder the learning environment.”
I was waiting for the punch line at the end but apparently they didn’t see the irony in their message 😷
To be clear, the U.S. Open won’t allow Djokovic play an outdoor, no-contact sport because he hasn’t been vaccinated with a vaccine that has negligible efficacy in preventing transmission of the dominant BA.5 variant.
What a joke U.S. public health has become.
The White House says schools with in-person classes 'one day a week' count as reopened. Not only is keeping children out of full-time inperson school anti-science but also complete horseshit.
I became pregnant at 17 and am eternally grateful for those that rallied around me with support, enabling me to have my beautiful son.
I wish I saw the same support for those wanting to choose life today.
My healthy school age kids are 2 months out from having Covid and their school now wants them to wear KN95s all day.
This is lunacy perpetuated by the White House. It must end.
Now that Dr. Fauci has tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 despite receiving 4 vaccines doses, can the establishment accept the virus is endemic and move on?
This seems a bit overdue.
Both Pfizer and Moderna are launching clinical trials to track health issues following a diagnosis of vaccine-associated heart problems in teens and young adults.
Hospitals are telling vaccinated workers w/ Covid to continue working as long as they are wearing a mask and don’t have a fever.
Meanwhile thousands of healthcare workers were fired or quit because of vaccine mandates. Had they not been, maybe sick workers wouldn’t have to work.
I wonder by what factor my Twitter following will increase once Elon Musk removes the censorship algorithms that cause followers to inadvertently be dropped 🤔
The CDC blames the rollback of Covid restrictions for the rise of RSV, Flu, and Strep infections.
Those pathogens circulated before Covid restrictions existed.
Seems to me, the rise of reported infections is a consequence of dampened immune systems from the Covid restrictions.

“It’s a game changer. It’s an absolute game changer. … I think this is the beginning of the end of the

. I’m very serious.”
I am having friends over this weekend to celebrate those fallen protecting my freedom, not because anyone says I can, but because I’m a responsible adult and tired of ignorant tyrannical leaders thinking they “know better.” America without freedom is like an angel without wings.
NEW: President Biden said he believes the Covid-19 pandemic is "over" during his 60 Minutes interview.
Any remaining mask and vaccine mandate should be null and void immediately.
Future vaccines, treatments, tests should undergo complete FDA review and not expedited under EUA.
The White House should stop criticizing judges for removing mandates; they are abolishing the governmental power that was abused and never should have been granted in the first place.
Biden giving Twitter exec Vijaya Gadde an advisory role in creating the Dept of Homeland Security's "misinformation" policy makes sense now. Twitter & the WH controlled the narrative on politicians, Covid, everything. As they said, “The First Amendment isn’t absolute.” Yikes.
I’m not sure who needs to hear this but whether you like him or not,
@realDonaldTrump
is making moves to expedite vaccine manufacturing and lower drug prices for Americans (including life-saving drugs Insulin and Epi-Pens.)
I’m looking forward to when people stop making public announcements about having Covid-19 & their mild cold symptoms.
How about we reserve the pomp & circumstance for real news like declining childhood mental health and the fact mothers can’t buy formula for their babies?
I hate to break it to the mandate police but, even if 100% of the population got vaccinated tomorrow, there would still be cases of Covid-19. It’s instinctual to hide from danger, but it’s prudent we learn to accept a level of risk moving forward in this unprecedented time.
The argument for Covid vax in healthy kids fell flat w/ Omicron as the ability to prevent infxn dropped <30%.
With a survival rate approaching 100% and >70% of kids having some level of immunity, this low risk group needs to regain normalcy in their lives.
Leave the kids alone.
Wearing an N95 all day is challenging (yes, those are sores on my face because it’s been a long week.)
I am happy to do it because many of my patients are immunocompromised.
The thought of my kids doing it, for no legitimate/ scientifically-based reason, infuriates me.
This week
@CDCgov
removed a total of 30,000 Covid deaths from the dashboard, reducing pediatric deaths by 24%. In small print at the bottom they cited a “coding error” as the reason for the incorrectly inflated numbers.
Medical care for an ectopic pregnancy is not illegal in any state given the risk to the mother.
Stop inciting emotional hype and confusion with your agenda.
Poor guy. He left before his soufflé because he decided half the country should risk death if they have an ectopic pregnancy within the wrong state lines. It’s all very unfair to him.
The least they could do is let him eat cake 🍰
If the CDC wants to gain a modicum of credibility, they should immediately speak out against booster mandates & masking of kids in schools.
Staying silent makes them complicit when harsh measures are being taken that will have nominal benefit with an unknown level of risk.
It’s a disappointing day in the science world when the head infectious disease physician, Dr. Fauci, cites Reuters Fact Checkers when being questioned by Senator
@RandPaul
about basic immunology.
Started my day telling a beautiful 39 yr old that her metastatic breast cancer is getting worse.
Emotions are high with Covid, high prices, etc but let’s remember, things may feel bad, but they can always be worse.
Be grateful for the small things many of us take for granted.
I’m old enough to remember when President Biden, Dr Fauci and CDC Director Walensky said there wouldn’t be vaccine mandates.
“No, I don’t think it should be mandatory. I wouldn’t demand it be mandatory,” Biden said of vaccines at a press conference in Delaware Dec 2020.
This is 40 💚
Happy Birthday to me. Last year was a journey of recovery after my bad fall. This year is about maximizing my health, physical and mental. Looking forward to what comes next in this crazy life I lead!
The CDC has done an incredible disservice to our country with their lack of transparency and keeping people in a paralyzed state of fear that does not match reality.
It’s almost 9:30p and I just finished homework with my 10 year old. As though my 12 hour hospital shift wasn’t enough today. Maybe there can be more work during school hours rather than taking away from limited family time.
Thanks,
Working parents everywhere
When lawmakers begin mandating something before it is even available, or even reviewed by the FDA, it is obvious their motivations are not about saving lives but full-on political grandstanding.
Social interaction is essential for our children. The
@AmerAcadPeds
officially advocates that ALL policy considerations for the coming school year should start with a goal of having students physically present in school. Tune in Monday as I discuss further with
@ainsleyearhardt
.
The CDC is trending but remember, vaccine mandates are enforced by the state, not the CDC. Something to remember as November midterm elections approach.
A big update from
@CDCgov
today is the CDC recommendations no longer differentiate based on a person’s vaccination status - acknowledging breakthrough infections are common, and taking natural immunity into consideration.
Any entity that declares a worker shortage in the next 30 days should also publicly acknowledge the scarcity of workers is directly related to public health policies implemented driving away qualified workers.
This child’s tragic death is on every policymaker and subsequent official who said unvaccinated kids were dangerous to others - a statement proven wholly untrue.
The firing of RNs, MDs & now military over vax mandates is a manmade catastrophe led by U.S. politicians.
We are rendering Americans vulnerable to domestic and foreign threats as a result.
The inability of the vax to prevent transmission renders universal mandates obsolete.
My kids are in school today mask-free for the first time in nearly 2 years. While this feels like a victory, it is difficult to celebrate knowing how much damage has already been done by the policies inflicted upon children throughout the pandemic.
As vaccine efficacy wanes, whether the ‘powers at be’ like it or not, natural immunity is taking its lead in our path forward. Ensuring access to effective treatments will be crucial to protecting the vulnerable moving forward.
KN95’s are not necessary to protect healthy children because of the exceedingly low risk COVID-19 presents to them.
The risks of improper use, prolonged wearing, and impaired aeration outweigh any potential benefit.
Stacey Abrams: "There is no such thing as a heartbeat at six weeks. It is a manufactured sound designed to convince people that men have the right to take control of a woman's body."
It’s time for Drs. Fauci and Walensky to step down from their decision-making positions as a result of their obvious pliability to external political influence during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Researchers at NYU found patients given hydroxychloroquine along w zinc sulphate & azithromycin were 44% less likely to die from the coronavirus, contradicting earlier JAMA study. One theory is that hydroxychloroquine may aid to absorb zinc (know antiviral properties).
My son’s friend is in emergency surgery this morning for a brain tumor discovered after he collapsed at school this week. Please pray for this little boy and his family.
It intrigues me how everyone who tests positive for SARS-CoV-2 credits the vaccine for their mild symptoms. It’s as though they have never heard of a blinded, randomized controlled trial.
As we begin Memorial Day weekend, seems like a good time to remind ourselves our flag doesn’t fly because the wind moves it. Rather, it flies with the last breath of each soldier who died protecting it 🇺🇸
According to Twitter my lipstick today is too much. Well, I happen to like the bold color choice and I can assure you, the words spoken from these lips are quite fierce.
My first born is 22 today and I couldn’t be more proud. He has navigated growing up and being in college during a highly politicized time and a devastating pandemic. Yet, my son remains grounded, calls his mom regularly and adores his little brothers. What more can a mom ask for?
If you are mildly sick this Flu/cold/Covid season, stay home.
If you are really sick, call your doctor or go to urgent care/ER depending on symptom intensity.
If you aren’t sick, carry on.
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
The irony of student debt cancellation is that the people ultimately paying to “cancel” the debt through taxes have already paid off their own student loan debt.
Now that NYC Mayor Adams got Covid from the Elite D.C. party maybe he will realize it isn’t the toddlers spreading the virus and will unmask the innocent kids.
Psaki: “The CDC guidance relies on data and science.”
✏️✏️✏️
The CDC guidance relies on cherry-picked, biased data and non-statistically significant, outdated science.
There. Fixed for accuracy.
The CDC’s response when questioned about their withholding of Covid data and lack of transparency is essentially “we don’t trust you to be able to understand the truth.”
The condescension is palpable. The wheels are finally coming off.
Since the CDC corrected their error and it seems the US is still battling a lot of Delta, can we get the antibodies back to treat our high risk patients?
This is why federal/state oversight is a major issue. They pulled back effective treatments based on their own faulty data.
The January 6th hearings were televised and produced by a media mogul. The Fauci deposition is closed-door without media access.
Transparency is key to gaining public trust. This is anything but.
After work I drove to Cape May to take my grandfather out to dinner—he has always loved eating out. His vision is fading lately making it difficult to drive at night so he doesn’t get out much anymore but he is always in good spirits. He will be 94 next month. We are blessed 💙
Congress' attending physician now says facemasks are no longer required in the Capitol complex.
The timing is impeccable. I can’t wait to see what other changes will come this week from “new” Science™️.
#SOTU
The CDC masking guidance is shifting from number of cases to considering hospitalizations - a change that should have been made over a year ago.
Instantly, their recommendation went from 95% of the country should wear masks to 70% should not.
Because, Science™️
Phase 1 reopening includes resuming elective surgeries - great decision to provide exemplary medical care for our patients. Smart move
@realDonaldTrump
👍🏻👏🏼
The 2020 massive layoffs came from lockdowns.
A new era of firings in 2021 has begun because of the disgusting politicization of science resulting in abandoment of reason, scientific debate & the erosion of trust in public health.
The consequences will be huge & long-lasting.
My buddy
@dbongino
is starting one of the biggest challenges of his life. That being said, he is one of the most mentally and physically strong human beings I have ever met. Through the grace of God, the knowledge of physicians, and support of family and friends, he will prevail.
There is nothing more irritating than listening to a bunch of lawyers argue “science” when some have little understanding about what the science is and are really only regurgitating media talking points.
#SCOTUS
I’m not sure who needs to hear this, but letting go of mask mandates does not mean you are “giving into Trump” rather, evolving with science.
The emergency is over. It’s time to move forward.
