@drtaubraun @j_b_kennedy I gave #vaccines to about 10,000 12-month old kids over my career. 100% of them started WALKING. I kid you not. (Oh. And they also didn’t get vaccine preventable diseases) Thanks, vaccines!

Children are 22% of the US population but 100% of the future! When kids aren’t cared for, when they lack food, security, healthcare, etc, we WEAKEN the future of the country. We must invest in kids! #AAPadvocacy

And then this happened! She thanked me for running against Tim Burchett and wished me luck. She believes in Tennessee! @AOC. Please support our campaign. I think she is done being called β€œgirl” in the halls of Congress. https://t.co/V2fowGEgFj

It is the law of Tennessee and the official policy of the Tennessee Republican Party to force a child who became pregnant from a sexual assault to carry their rapist’s child to term. That’s not leadership. It’s sickening.

β€œWhat is so beautiful about a child having to carry their parent’s child?” The air went out of the arena when she said that.

Thanks to @NICUBatman for inviting me to co-present on the political determinants of health! We all need to work together to stop policies that leave people more vulnerable to diseases we can prevent. @AIMimmunization #PAS2024 @PASMeeting

When it comes to helping parents decide to vaccinate their children, it comes down to how we, as clinicians, start the conversation! We need to get this right every time! @PAS2024 @AmerAcadPeds @AIMimmunization #vaccinate
