Now that Moderna has submitted all pediatric data to @US_FDA, we urge an immediate, transparent and thorough review. Families of children under 5 have waited a long time for the reassurance of a safe and effective vaccine.

Today marks the beginning of #BlackMaternalHealthWeek. Maternal mortality & morbidity are significantly higher in the U.S. than most other developed countries & is especially high among Black & Native American/Alaska Native women, regardless of income or education levels. #BMHW22

Replying to @nytimes
@nytimes: “Evidence that a single year of subsidies could alter something as profound as #brain functioning highlights the role that money may play in #childdevelopment and comes as @POTUS is pushing for a much larger program of subsidies for families with children.” @DevBrainLab
“It’s proof that just giving the families more money, even a modest amount of more money, leads to better brain development.”— Martha Farah, UPenn nytimes.com/2022/01/24/us/po… #neuroethics #neurosociety
