I remember @picardonhealth. Horrible disease - but especially dangerous for boys. And don't forget polio - a scourge before Salk/Sabin vaccines in mid-50s and early 60s.

One of my most vivid childhood memories is being deathly ill and hospitalized with #mumps. One reason many of us oldtimers are fiercely pro-vaccination is that we survived the pre-vaccination era - barely.

The faxing thing is especially crazy @epaultaylor Why don’t more doctors communicate with patients by email? https://t.co/02yCiRV4UY via @healthydebate #doctors

Was away from work/Twitter for 24 hours, so only responding
now. Overwhelmed by the outpouring of good wishes and the incredibly generous
words about my work. To each and every one of you - thank you from the
bottom of my heart.

Canada will soon be losing one of its finest health reporters, when @sherylubelacker retires from @CdnPress. Sheryl, you have been such an important part of health coverage in Canada for years. Wishing you the best in whatever comes next.

@MrsClunn Hi Katie. I'm the national health reporter for the Canadian Press news agency, based in Toronto. I realize it's Family Day in BC , but would you be available for a phone interview today (hopefully sooner than later) to discuss your MMR vaccine petition?
