I don't know what New York Times Opinion was thinking this morning. Bottom line: if you are vaccinated + boosted with your bivalent mRNA, you have 15X reduced risk of dying from Covid, 3X reduced risk of catching Covid. Here's CDC data. Get your booster covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tra…

👏 Bravo to the CIS for denouncing unambiguously the majority opinion in Dobbs v Jackson. We immunologists should not face restrictions in offering genetic counseling or treatments for patients with rare immune diseases. #primaryimmunodeficiency clinimmsoc.org/CIS/News/Lates…

UM pediatrician removed from state board after publicly criticizing delayed access to COVID-19 vaccine for children under 5 wsvn.com/news/local/um-…

I’ve been asked several times if I plan to get my 3yr old and 16mo old vaccinated against COVID.

Guess what? *Every* pediatrician I know with kids under 5 is eager to vaccinate their kids against COVID.

Why is that?

#OAASEF2022 Harms of panel testing for foods - one study of 132 patients with eczema had panel testing and thus food elimination - lead to sensitization and then true food allergy in 36% of kids who were tolerating those foods previously!
Don't test to foods one tolerates!

Pediatricians are the FIRST to line up to vaccinate their own children

We’ve been advocating for this so strongly, not just for our patients but for our OWN babies.

We’ve seen the worst, so we prepare for the worst.

Please vaccinate your children
