And I will add this:
The best way to worsen an outbreak is with coordinated messaging that continues to stoke the fires of conspiracy theory and encourage distrust in vaccines.
That is where we are today. It is up to all of us to fix it.

I am a pediatrician and I love Medicaid because it is a lifeline to healthcare for children.

An important segment on Measles, Autism and Vaccines
There is a reason we now face the current #measlesoutbreak. The seeds of this calamity were sown over the last 10 yrs by leaders using their positions to leverage vaxx hesitancy to elevate themselves. We are now reaping the bitter harvest of their activity.@TXPeds @AmerAcadPeds
This #measlesoutbreak is their outbreak and they now fill positions of power in state and federal government. They now own this calamity and are responsible for responding to it. How many more kids will be sickened? How more kids will die?

EVER READ THIS BEFORE?
SHE IS A KEEPER!
It happened at a New York Airport. This is hilarious. I wish I had the guts of this girl. An award should go to the gate agent in New York for being smart and funny, while making her point, when confronted with a passenger who probably
deserved to fly as cargo. For all of you out there who have had to deal with an irate customer, this one is for you.
A crowded flight was canceled. A single agent was re-booking a long line of inconvenienced travelers.
Suddenly, an angry passenger pushed his way to the desk. He slapped his ticket on the counter and said, "I HAVE to be on this flight and it has to be FIRST CLASS."
The agent replied, "I'm sorry, sir. I'll be happy to try to help you, but I've got to help these folks first; and then I'm sure we'll be able to work something out."
The passenger was unimpressed. He asked loudly, so that
the passengers behind him could hear, "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I AM?"
Without hesitating, the agent smiled and grabbed her public address microphone. "May I have your attention, please?", she began, her voice heard clearly throughout the terminal. "We have a passenger here at Gate 14 WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS. If anyone can help him with his identity, please come to Gate 14".
With the folks behind him in line laughing hysterically,
the man glared at the United Airlines agent, gritted his teeth, and said, "F*** You!"
Without flinching, she smiled and said, "I'm sorry sir,
you'll have to get in line for that, too."
Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain.
Tune in tomorrow evening 12/4 at 8:30 PM Central for my son's senior recital. He's gonna be great!

Thank you @VoteAnnJohnson. “HB 3058 is a start to restoring medical judgment in patient care. There is more that needs to be done, but this is a start to saving women’s lives.” @TXHouseWHC @ACOGDX @texmed #txlege

How am I supposed to keep my patients safe and healthy when simply shopping at Walmart in South Carolina puts their lives at risk?

HB 44 by @ValoreeforTexas has just passed and is now headed to the gov. The result of this bill is that thousands of kids on Medicaid will lose access to their pediatrician. I think we should call them #valoreesorphans. @TXPeds
