Listen to @CHPBugDoc, one of the smartest #pedsID docs I know (and all around great guy)! As I tweet this I am attending yet another session on covid-19 in children at #ACR21, because covid-19 affects children and the results can be devastating. Get your kids vaccinated!

Handy overview of Jak/STAT pathways in rheumatic diseases and available inhibitors (Dr. Joost Swart). Happening now in the Pediatrics Hub (New Therapies & Biologic Safety in Pediatric Rheumatology​). #ACR21 #pedsrheum

Impressed that over 💯 people stuck around to attend the last #pedsrheum hub presentation happening now - Still’s Disease, Lung Complications & Drug Hypersensitivity. Important topic with great speakers. Worth a watch #ICYMI #ACR21

"Almost 700 children have died from #COVID19, placing #SARSCoV2 infection among the top 10 causes of death in US children. No children have died from vaccination." Read a new #ScienceEditorial by Jeffrey S. Gerber & Paul Offit of Children's Hospital: fcld.ly/8dj6o28
