@Steven77435951 Well now you're just spamming. Goodbye.

This morning's chuckle from last night.
Still doesn't understand chemistry.
Even a chemistry 101 course is enough to see why she's wrong.
#antivaxxers get basic things like this wrong A LOT and can't be relied upon for science/math information.

[Eve Switzer MD, FAAP @kidoctr]

@Steven77435951 Parents trust their child's pediatrician who is a much more reliable source of medical information including ways to protect their child from infections that harm and kill them.

[Eve Switzer MD, FAAP @kidoctr]

Very disturbing.

(1) closing schools and childcare isn’t just about adolescents
(2) mental health issues are not simply due to “lack of friendships” or “boredom” nor the result of “letting it disturb them”
(3) masks in children are not known to result in “higher risk”

😡

@Steven77435951 I'm so glad that the vast majority of parents and patients don't believe this misinformation and choose to protect their children against diseases that can harm them with vaccines.

[Eve Switzer MD, FAAP @kidoctr]

When we immunize children, it’s a lot like helping them learn to read. Vaccines are beginner texts that our body uses to practice comprehending a virus. A literate immune system can keep kids healthy…so that they can focus on kid stuff (like reading the books they love!)

BIG CHANGES coming to Northwest Pediatrics this year. Looking forward to working with Tiffanie and more additions coming soon!

[Northwest Pediatrics @NorthwestPeds]

Northwest Pediatrics is excited to welcome Tiffanie Anderson, APRN to our practice!

In the 2010s, adult flu vaccine uptake never broke 50%. It's so predictable that we don't even make shots for 1/3 of the population.

A lot of that is because people don't take flu seriously. But folks, you should and I'll tell you why.

Here's the FULL case for flu vaccination🧵

[Eve Switzer MD, FAAP @kidoctr]

@OrthDc The first to be vaccinated in Israel were 60+ group. The vast majority of breakthrough cases in that country are in 60+ w co-morbid conditions. Israel’s numbers are around 300 breakthrough cases currently in 5.4 million vaccinated = rare.

I don’t want COVID & possibly give it to someone else

I don’t want to get sick, require oxygen, get intubated, or possibly die

I want to travel the world, hug people, and enjoy a concert/movie

My freedom to choose was removed! I was forced to get vaccinated!

[Eve Switzer MD, FAAP @kidoctr]

@OrthDc Plenty of recent data demonstrating the vast majority of infections are in the unvaccinated. Natural infection might be "better" if there wasn't so much death and illness associated with it. Feel free to volunteer at your local health facility with COVID patients and no PPE.

[Eve Switzer MD, FAAP @kidoctr]

@OrthDc "Next to zero" = reinfection does occur. Other data demonstrate reinfection occurs at greater rate than in vaccinated. Not really a surprise.

"being unvaccinated was associated w 2.34 times the odds of reinfection compared with being fully vaccinated."

@OrthDc Yes, the vaccine does prevent infection & does prevent serious COVID complications. The unvaccinated are over twice more likely to be re-infected than the vaccinated are being infected. "Natural infection" = sick, complications and/or death - and still risk re-infection.

[Eve Switzer MD, FAAP @kidoctr]

@OrthDc It’s obvious you entirely missed the point. Goes right along with your poor risk assessment skills. Over 620,000 people died in the US and got no “natural immunity”. The vaccine doesn’t come remotely close to that risk. #getvaccinated

[Eve Switzer MD, FAAP @kidoctr]

@RobertRFaulk I’m not really sure but I can think of at least 3 or 4 who probably aren’t actively recommending vaccination. They may be advising specifically against it but I can’t be sure. The overwhelming majority are actively recommending vaccination, though.

Vaccine hesitancy is nothing new. Here’s the damage it’s done over centuries https://t.co/0mZv6JqWEr

[Brandon Seay MD, FAAP @BSeay05]

Around 50% of all the vaccines given to children here in the US are from the Vaccines for Children (VFC) program!
