We mourn the lives of the children and families affected by yet another school shooting today in Nashville. Gun violence is a threat to children everywhere. As pediatricians, we will continue to advocate for policies to keep kids safe and to #EndGunViolence.
The worst part of every post-mass shooting narrative is the rhetoric about mental health and psychiatric drugs as the root causes of gun violence. It is so stigmatizing, inaccurate, and harmful.
It's the guns. It's the guns. It's the guns.

Best of luck to you.
Per @CDCFound, of children who were hospitalized d/t #COVID19, 30% had no underlying conditions, 90% were unvaccinated, 20% needed ICU care. NO #vaccinated children needed higher level oxygen support.
Please. #VaccinateYourKids
