@SenBillCassidy, the destruction of the @CDCgov lies at ur feet. As a physician, u more than any other Senate knew what was at stake when you voted 2 confirm @RFKJr_Official Sec @HHSGov. Public health will never heal from this wound. We pediatricians now must pick up the pieces.

And I will add this:
The best way to worsen an outbreak is with coordinated messaging that continues to stoke the fires of conspiracy theory and encourage distrust in vaccines.
That is where we are today. It is up to all of us to fix it.

I am a pediatrician and I love Medicaid because it is a lifeline to healthcare for children.

@CookChildrens pediatricians in DC advocating for the kids we take care of!

[Jason Terk @jterk]

This #measlesoutbreak is their outbreak and they now fill positions of power in state and federal government. They now own this calamity and are responsible for responding to it. How many more kids will be sickened? How more kids will die?

[Jason Terk @jterk]

There is a reason we now face the current #measlesoutbreak. The seeds of this calamity were sown over the last 10 yrs by leaders using their positions to leverage vaxx hesitancy to elevate themselves. We are now reaping the bitter harvest of their activity.@TXPeds @AmerAcadPeds

@simon_schama I just finished reading Foreign Bodies. As a pediatrician, the subject and hero of the book Waldemar Haffkine was truly meaningful. As we reap the unwelcome harvest of our complacency, I thank you for reminding us of the work Haffkine!

[Jason Terk @jterk]

@hubermanlab Dr. Huberman, if you are interested in the perspectives of a full-time pediatrician who has worked on public health and vaccine advocacy for 25 years, then I would be interested in participating depending on the goals of the episode and who else is participating.

[Jason Terk @jterk]

@VoteAnnJohnson I am thrilled that my son is now living in your house district. You are my favorite member of the Texas House always fighting for our kids. I especially enjoyed your dismantling of @brianeharrison when he was laying out HB 81. Truly the most exciting hearing ever!

[Jason Terk @jterk]

@imtiburks @efc_engagement Yes I am interested! But, I was not aware that they were on sale yet.

[Jason Terk @jterk]

@efc_engagement I have been a faithful #evertonian for a long time but from afar here in Texas. I am planning my first trip to watch a match at Goodison when we play Arsenal on April 5. I would appreciate any assistance on securing tickets for my wife and me. Thanks so much!

Colin Terk, you have persevered through COVID and so many other challenges. We are so proud of you! Onward along your trumpet journey! #ForeverBuffs

@cookchildrens has been my professional home for 25 yrs. I've always been amazed and appreciative of its unparalleled culture that fosters trust and aligns everyone toward putting the patient at the center of everything we do. https://t.co/et2IjmJR0V
