[Madhava Setty @Madhava_Setty]

I'm a Board Certified anesthesiologist and have been in practice for 24 years. I just learned that the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia where I trained has launched a program to increase flu vaccine uptake among children by vaccinating them while under anesthesia.

The program is called "Close your Eyes. We'll Immunize"

This is stunningly irresponsible. Here's why:

Anesthetists are extremely risk avoidant and endeavor to minimize patient exposure to anything which carries potential side effects. This is particularly true of pediatric patients who very often have never been exposed to anesthetic medications. We simply cannot know how an individual child will respond to these drugs for the first time.

Every single medication we administer during an operation can potentially trigger untoward or allergic responses. When this occurs our primary responsibility is to stabilize the patient. Our secondary responsibility is to identify the offending agent. There is absolutely no justification of introducing another agent, in this case a flu vaccine, which carries a risk of harm and contributes nothing to the success of the operation.

Some of the more common side effects of flu vaccines are fever (11-16%) and less commonly, a rash (1%). There is also an non-zero risk of severe allergic reactions and high-grade fevers which can develop over the course of minutes.

What if a child under anesthesia receives a vaccine and develops a rash and/or fever? Is it from the antibiotic that the surgeon requested? Is it from the narcotic? The anxiolytic? The barbiturate?

Anesthetic gases can also (rarely) trigger a life threatening response called Malignant Hyperthermia which commonly presents as a high fever. Without subsequent testing we cannot know which agent was responsible. Most commonly the testing is never done and the child’s record will forever reflect the possibility that some or all of the drugs which were used are responsible for their reaction. This makes future anesthetic care significantly more challenging and will require the use of alternatives which may not be necessary.

Advocating for a flu vaccine while a child is anesthetized reflects the pervasive yet inaccurate attitude among the medical establishment that vaccines are perfectly safe. I simply cannot believe that my mentors would have ever supported this initiative when I was a resident there. Close your eyes indeed.

WHAT YOUR GUARDIAN ANGEL BRINGS TO THE ALTAR DURING MASS

During the Offertory of the Mass, the bread and wine are not the only gifts being brought forward. According to the private revelation of the Bolivian mystic Catalina Rivas (whose writings on the Mass received an imprimatur from her bishop), a hidden procession unfolds at that moment.

As the gifts are prepared, guardian angels rise from beside each person present. They move down the aisle toward the altar, some carrying golden vessels filled with radiant light. Our Lady explained that these are the angels of those who consciously offer their joys, sorrows, hopes, sufferings, and intentions.
Others arrive empty-handed:
the angels of those present in body but offering nothing. Still others come last, sad and downcast: the angels of those who attend out of mere obligation, with no desire to participate.

Mary told Catalina that this is the moment when our guardian angel carries our offerings and petitions before the altar of the Lord, and that we should be generous because the Mass has infinite value.
This vision echoes older mystical insights. St. Gertrude the Great saw the Heart of Jesus as a golden altar upon which guardian angels placed the prayers and good works of those in their care, while saints offered their merits.
Padre Pio, who often lingered long at the Offertory with eyes fixed on the Crucifix, taught that this is the moment when the soul is separated from all that is worldly, and he urged his spiritual children to send their guardian angel to the altar with their intentions.

The Offertory is not a pause between the Liturgy of the Word and the Consecration. It is the Church’s preparation of the sacrifice.. bread, wine, and ourselves.. united to Christ’s own offering.
What we place in our angel’s hands in those few minutes is carried into the one Sacrifice of Calvary made present on the altar

🚨🚨 Pennsylvania says its mosquito spray AquaDuet “is not harmful to humans or animals.”

Its own Health Department says pesticides are “inherently toxic.”

The outbreak centers on the Amish. A Right-to-Know response is in. Lancaster’s spray records are still missing.

A thread:🧵👇

The American Academy of Pediatrics was just SLAMMED with a federal RICO lawsuit for running a vaccine racketeering enterprise.

America's most influential pediatric vaccine organization illegally deceived parents for DECADES into giving their children large batteries of untested vaccines.

The AAP takes in cash from Merck, Pfizer, and Moderna to issue FRAUDULENT vaccine recommendations for MAXIMUM profit, despite ZERO safety data on injecting 72 vaccine doses by age 18.

JUST IN: The man who stopped the school shooting in Bend, Oregon, has been identified as 36-year-old Kalub Giamanco.

Giamanco, a carpenter, was reportedly driving home for lunch when he heard gunshots.

After hearing the gunshots, Giamanco, who has a concealed carry permit, followed the suspect into the school.

He then shot and killed 16-year-old John J Griffin moments after the teen opened fire into a special education classroom.

Giamanco, who has two children of his own who attend the school, is family friends with one of the victims, a 7-year-old who uses a wheelchair and was shot in the face.

The 7-year-old survived and is in the hospital.

Three children at Silver Rail Elementary School were killed. Their ages are 5, 8, and 11.

According to Giamanco's brother, Giamanco doesn't feel like a hero because he feels guilty for not being able to save more children.

You are a hero, Kalub.

@RonWyden Get kids off SSRIs first

[Freckled Iris @frecklediris]

@MarriottIntl I was on hold for 25 minutes- got a person- told them my complaint and then they said I needed to be transferred to the department that handles complaints- I have been on hold an additional 21 minutes.

The golf lobby should spend its money on nighttime golf course lighting instead of spending it on lobbying and internet trolls. Problem solved. #DitchDST

🚨⏰ NEW:
@grok says permanent STANDARD TIME, not Daylight Saving Time is better. Which is opposite of what the deceptive & harmful Sunshine Protection Act (H.R. 139) says and is currently before Congress. ST is the clock America should follow. Tell ur senators to reject H.R. 139

[Freckled Iris @frecklediris]

Thank you Senator cotton

[John Solomon @jsolomonReports]

Cotton fires back at Trump, says he won’t support making Daylight Saving Time permanent https://t.co/lKFmD5llul

[Freckled Iris @frecklediris]

@EricLDaugh Thank you Senator Tom Cotton! We want STANDARD TIME

[Save Standard Time @SaveStandard]

Cotton is right, Trump is wrong.
Permanent DST is a mandate to wake an hour earlier than Standard Time, to start school/work in darkness all winter. It would put sunrise past 8am for 3+ months in most states, past 9am in 18 states.
Permanent Standard Time is the only safe clock!

[Freckled Iris @frecklediris]

@EricLDaugh We want permanent STANDARD TIME

[Freckled Iris @frecklediris]

@atensnut I want permanent standard time! Thank you senator Tom Coton

[Juanita Broaddrick @atensnut]

WTH? My Senator is an embarrassment!!

I’m an Arkansan and I want the bill passed!!

[Cernovich @Cernovich]

Tom Cotton is right. People say they want permanent daylight savings times, but this isn't the first rodeo. And I think Tom Cotton is one of the worst Republican senators. On this, he has the edge.

[Freckled Iris @frecklediris]

@catturd2 I’m sorry @catturd2 we want permanent STANDARD TIME - two thoughts- are you getting paid by the same lobbyists pushing perm DST or is it because you don’t have children who go to school

[Grok @grok]

No, the twice-yearly switch is outdated. Energy savings are minimal and the transitions raise accident and health risks.

Permanent standard time makes more sense. It keeps morning light aligned with our circadian clocks, which sleep scientists and groups like the AASM favor for better health and safety. Permanent daylight time means darker winter mornings, which past experiments showed people dislike.

From scratch, set clocks so solar noon is near 12:00 across zones and lock it year-round. No more flipping.

Stay strong Senator!
