"Without vaccines, 🇺🇸would have experienced 4 times as many deaths, 1.5 times more infections, and 3.8 times more hospitalizations since December 2020. The vaccines also saved $1 trillion in medical costs."

Just got laid off from BuzzFeed and I’m truly heartbroken. I have so much passion for writing and to get this news right before Christmas is truly devastating. If anyone is looking for a writer—I’m available for hire. 🙁

A 6-year-old boy presents to the emergency department with seizures and subsequent coma.
The parents say they have no idea what happened. The sister reports she saw her brother eating "lots of gummy worms" (below) earlier.
What do you think is going on?

Am I the only one that wonders what would happen if I fell into those pools where spent nuclear fuel rods are cooled down?
How would falling in here affect our health? And could we actually survive this?
Let’s evaluate this possibility together.🤔

If you haven't been infected, you really want to avoid being infected.
If you've been infected once, you *really* want to avoid being infected twice.
If you've been infected twice, you **really** want to avoid being infected three times.

a trick i always share with med students in the ER who are about to examine a scared child:
"examine" the parent first! I find kids are way more comfortable after I "listen" to dad's heart or look in mom's ears to show them that I am not a threat and that they are safe ☺️

Correct. And it's unreasonable to take extreme measures on low risk groups. If the protections suggested are indeed effective, the vulnerable can use them to protect themselves.

Retweet if you think our government should bring back indoor mask mandates. #BringBackMasks
