@ErinInTheMorn Yet another example of legislating the practice of medicine. Can we please get government out of the exam room and let physicians and patients decide for themselves what is appropriate and necessary care?
With infections surging due to the Omicron variant, physicians are now urging people to ditch cloth face masks and instead recommend pairing cloth masks with surgical models or moving on to stronger respirator masks https://t.co/Fy02Rbyz1z

North Texas used to be home to the only pediatric clinic in the state that offered hormone therapy for children with gender dysphoria. But the clinic is being disbranded, and no new patients will be treated with hormone therapy. https://t.co/WtwFfEgTRr
#TMA & county medical societies are working together to support physicians as they face burnout, financial stress, & administrative burdens exacerbated by the pandemic. Read about physician wellness programs bolstering a beleaguered workforce. https://t.co/B2p9MnKaWr
There is a viral disease
Where most infections are mild, asymptomatic
With a very low fatality rate
And large age gradient: kids are even lower risk than adults
And less than 1% of kids have any serious complications at all
Yup
Polio
And we vaccinate against it
Will be interesting to watch the reaction from states who have passed opposing legislation or executive orders. Federal preemption is clearly defined. https://t.co/mJuzQSWBix
BREAKING: FDA advisors vote 19-0 to endorse Moderna booster for the same groups as they previously gave authorization for Pfizer (65+, or 18+ with high risk due to occupational exposure or medical condition). Note that this is for a half dose compared to original vaccine.
BREAKING: Pfizer asked the U.S. government to allow use of its COVID-19 vaccine in children ages 5 to 11 -- and if regulators agree, shots could begin within a matter of weeks. https://t.co/RVVu3jTuIO
Join DCMS in a moment of silence on Friday, September 3, 2021, to honor not only physicians, researchers, clinicians and healthcare support staff, but all Texans who have been impacted by COVID-19.
@marabalee@conservmillen The headline is misleading. From day 1, no vaccine promised 100% immunity. Over time, that diminishes (see discussion about boosters). Vaccines prevent major illness but you can pass it along to the unvaccinated, who are the folks occupying 90% of hospitals.
