FDA’s controversial vaccine chief will exit agency next month | CNN The US Food and Drug Administration’s head of vaccines and biologic medicines will leave the agency at the end of April, a spokesperson confirmed to CNN on Friday.

Vinay Prasad has been an a noxious influence on public health and drug regulation. Good riddance. UCSF should not take him back. He should wander in the wilderness forever. www.cnn.com/2026/03/06/h...

COVID infection in babies is associated with worse illness and a 7 fold higher death rate than RSV infection.
COVID vaccine is recommended for babies 6 months of age and older.
COVID is very bad for small children and babies.
Get them vaccinated.
Clean the air we all breathe.

I have irritable bowel, irritable bladder, and now irritable esophagus.

I guess all of my systems are nervous.

Study promotion for a great PhD student!

On #IWD the SOGC pledges to continue to fight for and defend the rights of Canadian women to access the full range of obstetrical and gynaecological health services. Canadian women have fought hard for these rights, but we must remain vigilant.

I often have difficulty differentiating text messages from my 10 year-old and my 19 year-old, since they both text like 40 year-olds.

For Long Covid Awareness Month, sending love to everyone who has friends, family and/or partners who have no awareness that it's Long Covid Awareness Month

Cadbury is a schill for Big Kinase.

One of the resident research projects I am supervising is a survey of the family planning/fertility intentions of people with #longCOVID. So far, our abstract has been rejected by 2 conferences. Is our abstract non-competitive or is there bias against acknowledgement of #longCOVID?

Israel's deliberate destruction of Gaza's healthcare for pregnancy and newborns is femigenocide and reproductive violence.

Between 25-34 % of women report that their births were traumatic.💔It is when the individual patient believes her life or that of her baby’s was in danger, or that a serious threat to the mother’s or her baby’s physical or emotional integrity existed.

Up to 80% of women will develop fibroids. There is no known cure. 1 in 10 will develop endometriosis. There is no cure. 34% of women 18-30 w/painful periods had adenomyosis in one imaging study. No cure.

Fund female health research, not war.

Labradoodles lack bones.

Many of us have internationally-sponsored or first-generation trainees from the nations impacted by this unjust “war.”

Please grant them empathy & grace as they navigate the uncertainty, anxiety & grief that comes from knowing that their families at home are in imminent danger

This is correct. The entire goal of being a scientist is to disseminate your findings and knowledge to as many people as possible. This is also how we are awarded grants and maintain academic positions.
