#Parents, #pediatricians pls retweet if you wld like a #vaccine for <5s NOW not after they’ve gotten #omicron, #covid19, #longcovidkids. The @CDCgov block of #offlabelU5 is unlike any other FDA approved drug. 🤞 if we get media attn then @CDCDirector Walensky will reconsider ban
@LondonBreed @D4GordonMar support our D4 community to block the monstrosity proposed at Sloat Gardens. 12 stories in our neighborhood w 40 ft height limit?400 condos w 56 parking spots when parking is so scarce? Next to the rotting empty Westerly bc demand for condos is low? #sf

This is perfection. #offlabelU5
Parents of kids <5, the memes from @offlabelU5memes are the only good thing to come from this hopeless situation and I highly encourage you to folllow them. #offlabelU5
My 8yo has to have a 24 hour ECG to try and find out the damage Covid has done to her heart. She doesn’t want sympathy, she wants the fucking vaccine #LongCovid #vaxkidsnow #safeEdForAll @nadhimzahawi @SadiqKhan
4 yo got it from a 1 yo at daycare. Pls tell me how my booster helped him? Or how isolating entirely from all family & friends for 2 yrs except daycare so I can work? @AmerAcadPeds @DrPaulOffit
I know the answer! I should have quit my job as a #WomanInSTEM to completely isolate the kids. #urgencyofequity

@DrPaulOffit perhaps you can explain to the 14%+ of children suffering from #longcovidkids how not having a #vaccine is “good news.” Or maybe wait 20 years when the entire generation is at risk for long term sequelae & is remembering how you wanted perfect data
I don’t know who is making these, but THANK YOU. I really needed a laugh tonight. #offlabelU5
Brilliant demonstration of the absolute hypocrisy of @US_FDA @CDCgov @POTUS. If they personally benefit, then it gets approved. The Biden administration message is clear- Our children do not matter in the least to them.
So the @US_FDA @FDACBER @DrWoodcockFDA @DrPaulOffit @FDASpox is denying kids a vaccine because it was under 50% effective for omicron when adults 5 months after a third dose was only 30% effective. But they still recommend to prevent bad outcomes. But not for kids…………
@CDCgov does not normally control what drugs your dr can prescribe you. @CDCDirector found a loophole- own all the doses! How does she use this newfound POWER over practice of medicine? Ban #offlabelU5 access to a safe, life-saving vaccine for our babies!

Please Call @CDCDirector at 404-639-7000. Press 8. Say “Dr wolensky, you must remove the unethical & unprecedented ban on off label vaccine access for kids under 5 Today. You are responsible for every child harmed by #covid since the vaccines were fully approved.” #offlabelU5
YES! @US_FDA didn’t consider #longcovid bc the trial didn’t measure that. Too bad we don’t have real world data showing terrifying rates of #longcovidkids & reduction in vaxxed 5+. Oh wait, was it @CDCgov who published that? Not @FDACBER so they can’t possibly consider it
The hashtag #PediatricPandemic should be trending bc it’s exactly what we are signing up for when we lift #MaskMandates in #Schools while #Children are largely #Unvaccinated.
Over 12M kids have been infected w/ #COVID. Forget GenA, will they be known as the #LongCOVIDgeneration?
Preach! Or at least get out of our way and allow #offlabelU5 vaccine access like every other drug in the formulary @CDCDirector
“Mommy, my leg hurts. I think the virus is in my leg now.” -a real 4 year old, suffering through a fever & “#mildcovid” tonight while his parents grapple with the utter failure of leadership in this country to provide him w a proven safe vaccine. #offlabelU5 @POTUS @CDCgov
@US_FDA doesnt care if your child gets sick, suffers daily headaches, brain fog, GI upset for the rest of their childhood/life. Time to pressure @CDCDirector to stop her unprecedented unethical block of #offlabelU5. I have never been more disappointed in our leaders.
Omicron is still everywhere. New records for hospitalized kids. But w/mask mandates falling, @FDACBER postones its panel to review a vax dosage *proven* to be safe. Our kids are completely unprotected. #offlabelU5 NOW to @ImmunizeUnder5s. You've left us nothing else @CDCDirector.

Excellent thread. Could not agree more. @US_FDA @DrWoodcockFDA are toying with children’s lives, not looking at the data in a patient-centric way. We need transparency NOW. We also need #offlabelU5 yesterday so those who want to spare their children from #LongCovidKids can do so
Please consider adding your support of vaccines for under 5s! Our kids deserve protection from #LongCovidKids, severe covid and MISC
Are you pro-vaccine? Here's the link for the public comment section for the FDA's upcoming meeting--let them know how you feel! regulations.gov/document/FDA…
This is SO important! Leaving kids <5 without a vaccine is opening them to #longcovidkids and who-knows-what other future complications. They have their whole lives ahead of them! #ImmunizeUnder5s
Seeing bunches of kids this week who had #COVID19 during the South Carolina monster surge 2-3 weeks ago.
Now they have persistent headache, or cough, or brain fog, or fatigue, or dizziness. You name it.
Covid19 is not mild for all kids.
#GetVaccinated #tweetiatrician
So true! Emergencies (like a pandemic) mean we need to think outside the box about evidence and also weigh the cost of not acting (compare #covid vs vaccine NOT vaccine now vs later, talking to you VRBPAC and ACIP)
It took a pandemic for some doctors to realize that we can't RCT everything, especially in children. And rather than help out by designing studies or making our jobs easier, they used this methodolatry to attack the @AmerAcadPeds & pediatricians. What a world.
