MA delegate to the American Academy of Pediatrics Provisional Section on NonHuman Pediatric Practitioners making a splash at the 2019 AAPLegCon🦞. @MCAAP
OK, South Carolina:
Cases increasing. Highest number since April.
Percent positive increasing to 8.8%.
School starting in a few weeks with a ban on mask mandates.
One of the lowest #CovidVaccine rates in the nation.
Does anyone else see a disaster brewing here?

@bazinefertari@PunjabiPutri I'm so sorry to hear that your suggestions, knowledge and experience re: what worked in other areas for Covid-19 patients were ignored. And, it's not surprising...bc it's Texas. Thank you for your work in taking care of patients. And, please be careful working as an RN in Texas.
@PunjabiPutri I worked with COVID in the 1st wave in NYC. We learned what worked. Patients were living longer. We had some successful extubations. FINALLY. Next I went to Texas where every suggestion was discarded. Every single one. We were back to ground zero. Hx repeated
I have been in the ICU everyday with my father for 5 days. Day 1, I did not disclose that I was a doctor. I was ignored and brushed off. As soon as I introduce myself as Dr. Chaudhri and bring up lab results, management of his care has been expedited. THIS NEEDS TO CHANGE.
@NicoleB_MD I 💜this ridiculous thread because what it does is provide strong evidence that people will listen to unsubstantiated claims on the Internet.That’s it.
So easy to debunk his rant BUT the guy has >100K followers & I won’t promote his product w/a reply or quote. Ignore the junk.
As a pediatrician, I can tell you, 3 year olds are generally jerks.
They don’t want anything their parents want.
But as a parent, it’s our job to keep them safe.
Oh, and I’m an ACTUAL medical doctor...trained in treating children.
What is it Dr. Naomi Wolf does again 🤔
Schools, in person, are essential. They must open where ready. There's no debate, no scientific conflict.
Kids are supposed to have rights in this country. Ontarians want to #OpenSchools.
Please, can we stop pointing fingers and looking so American right now?
@CanPaedSociety
The US adult vaccination rate is about 50%, but I’m seeing way more than 50% of people out in public maskless. This presents an opportunity for increasing spread, which could force delayed reopenings and future shutdowns! Vax it or mask it, but pick one please!
A few late night #tweetiatrician musings:
No child should ever worry about bombs hitting their home.
No child should ever worry about rockets hitting their neighborhood.
Every child should have access to health care, healthy food and a good education.
That is all. #PutKids1st
As a pediatrician, I can't let this misinformation go unchecked, @henrymcmaster.
1. Children under 16 can't receive #covidvacccine
2. Children definitely can spread #COVID19
3. Children can get very ill from COVID19.
4. Masks decrease spread
5. Children should be wearing masks
@AlisonEarl2 I think so.
Getting kids back into school can only be done if it's safe. We have excellent public health experts reviewing all the information, & schools have been way safer than most other places, given their layers of control.
Other countries have shown what works. #Hope
@jckabat I don’t think it’s common knowledge. I’ve tried to spread the word...most people were uninterested in this fascinating fact. But WE can enjoy it.
Happy #NationalDoctorsDay to my pediatric and other physician colleagues. It is my honor and privilege to work together with you as we care for children and families, even under the most difficult of circumstances. I’m inspired every day by your commitment and strength.
Education, housing, food and environment play a huge role in children's health and the overall health of a community. But kids can’t vote for improving their own health and their community. #VoteKids like children's futures depend on it.
I would never think this would be possible.
In a time in which we are seeing racism & so many inequities, we must make all young people aware of the past.
