Forced birth in a country with:
—No universal healthcare
—No universal childcare
—No paid family & medical leave
—One of the highest rates of maternal mortality among rich nations
This isn't about "life." It's about control.
@LibbyMbc Check online at some of the bigger centers, @DanaFarber , @MDAndersonNews , @MSKCancerCenter . Some used to offer a 2nd opinion via record review - fax records, path etc and they generate their recommendations. There is a fee. But then you can focus more based on what they say.

As a firefighter, I wear PPE when I’m in hazardous environments, not because I’m‘scared’, but because I know the risks involved. Come Monday, I’ll be wearing my mask in public settings for the same reason.
The most beautiful photo:
Polish moms left strollers at the train station, for Ukrainian moms who may need them when they arrive in #Poland with kids. 🇵🇱🇺🇦.

Ugh, these poor parents of kids <5. Cannot imagine trying to raise little ones in a pandemic. They've work so hard to keep everyone else safe, juggle working & childcare, and now the world is just opening back up without a vaccine on the near horizon 😭😭😭
As we move towards boosters for kids, worth knowing what data show in #Omicron era:
2 doses of vax prevent against severe illness & hospitalization.
Boosters provide protection against getting #Covid to begin with.
As a pediatrician & dad, cannot recommend more strongly. ❤️
Our clinic is seeing lots of symptomatic kids with negative rapid antigen #covid tests—that are then positive on a PCR test. Presumably #Omicron. Consider tracking down a PCR test if you have symptoms and are worried.
