I’m internet fourth year of med-peds residency. Working long hours for four years I’ve seen thousands of sick kids and adults. I keep track of interesting cases with a special love of infectious disease Here’s a thead of diagnoses I’ve never seen:
-Measles (except once in Uganda) -Mumps -Rubella -Primary Varicella -Acute HBV/HAV - HiB Epiglottis/Sepsis/Meningitis - Polio (except for an aged survivor from India) - Tetanus - Diptheria - Pertussis (have sent many tests for this, all negative) - Meningococcal meningitis
-I’ve seen one case of S. Pneumo meningitis and it was in a child with T cell immune deficiency. -Never seen a confirmed case of rotavirus but we don’t test for it so can’t say for sure. But have never partaken in fabled “rota rounds.”
Adverse effects from vaccines I've cared for (despite being at the end of a giant funnel working in a regional referral center): - One febrile seizure following MMR vaccine - One case of COVID vaccine myocarditis (patient got first dose, had covid then second dose in 1 month)
Anyone saying vaccines are unsafe, ineffective, or unstudied is simply untrustworthy. These jabs are nothing short of miracles. Talk to an old time doc and they will tell you of the scores of children they've seen die from the above afflictions that I've never seen.
Seems these diseases are also found on this list. 🤔. cdc.gov/vaccines/sched…
@MikeRoseMDMPH The miracle-maker himself:
@MikeRoseMDMPH How many boosters do those other vaccines require?
@MikeRoseMDMPH It’s an absolute horrible thing to watch a baby die from pertussis.
@MikeRoseMDMPH Prediction: This thread will not age well.
@MikeRoseMDMPH This is what the antivaxers are bringing back.
@MikeRoseMDMPH @calvinjburke Agreed with a couple caveats: I want to see what you haven’t seen after practice 20+yrs. 😉 Vaccines can injure people, they just don’t 99.9999% of the time. When compared to the Covid infx risks—vaccines are much, much less risky than getting Covid. Thanks for the thread
