We often ask "What if it were your child?" during times when children are hurt, killed or terrorized

Last night, as has happened EVERY year, children, families & worshippers at #AlAqsa mosque were attacked during prayers in th most holy month of #Ramadan for #Muslims & a #medical #clinic was destroyed-now unable to provide #healthcare

Press coverage is nearly nonexistent, outcry is minimal.

Why?

What if it were your child?

there are moments when I am especially grateful and proud to be a "naturalized" Minnesotan

this is most definitely one of them!

Thank you, Governor Walz, for taking an important step to protect all kids in Minnesota from #FoodInsecurity #Minnesota #putkids1st #tweetiatricians #tootiatricians

Important thread from Dr. Celine Gounder on the increased number of deaths from heart attacks in ages 25-44 during the first two years of the #Covid19 #pandemic

Take home message:
- Don't get #COVID
- #GetVaccinated 💉
- #WearAMask #MaskUp 😷
- Improve #ventilation if indoors
- Do whatever you can to avoid getting #Covid

PS I'm seeing more #LongCovid symptoms in kids. Make sure they take the same precautions

#CovidIsNotOver

As #vaccination rates drop amidst the continued #COVID #pandemic with a recent #measles outbreak in Ohio & ongoing high circulation of #influenza #RSV #COVID19 we worry about additional outbreaks.

We must ensure that children are protected as well as possible with up to date #immunization & masks

In our @VUMCchildpolicy@twitter.com poll last year, we found that 90% of parents supported continuing universal free breakfast & lunch in public schools.

It's past time we make this a reality.

@davidlhillmd as of yesterday, both the immediate past & current chairs of AAP COCM have officially deactivated their accounts on Ye Olde Bird App.

Fist bump, my friend!

Flying the coop never felt so good!
