And now for some good news 😃🌈👊🏻🌟😃🌈👊🏻🌟 Vaccines still work!!! 💉🩺🦠🧪🔬 Please continue to vaccinate your children, especially those under 2, on time, every time. 👨🏻‍⚕️🧑🏽‍⚕️🧑🏻‍⚕️👩‍⚕️👩🏿‍⚕️👨🏽‍⚕️ Contact your pediatrician for well visit guidance during the pandemic. And don't believe the haters,science is cool! "Over less than a 15-year period, overall invasive pneumococcal infections among children under 5 years of age were reduced from 100 cases per 100,000 to about nine cases per 100,000. Infections caused by vaccine serotypes were reduced from about 90 cases per 100,000 to two cases per 100,000. These results are a remarkable testimony to the benefit of the pneumococcal vaccine." @tuftsmedicalcenter @cdcgov @healthychildrenaap #doctorMicah #covid19 #loveinthetimeofcorona #parenting #motherhood #momsofinstagram #blessed #aap #who #quarantine # stayhome # flattenthecurve #COVID19 #Coronavirus #HealthcareHeroes #Healthcare #Medicine #MedicalCare #PatientCare #NYC #NewYorkCity #Manhattan #shabbatshalom (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-z4Wc8DMTb/?igshid=liw6yqq42ec0

What is systemic racism? What is structural violence? One example I see in my field is that black patients continue to receive less pain medication for broken bones and cancer. Black children receive less pain medication that white children for appendicitis. Many people INACCURATELY believe that blacks literally have thicker skin than whites and experience less pain. This failure to recognize the pain of black patients traces back to the origins of American medicine and Dr. James Marion Sims, who performed heinous experiments on un-anaesthetized black female slaves.

The Global Breastfeeding Scorecard, which evaluated 194 nations, found that - only 40 per cent of children younger than six months are breastfed exclusively (given nothing but breastmilk) - only 23 countries have exclusive breastfeeding rates above 60 per cent I support #breastfeeding #WBW2017 #TheOriginalOrganicFood #Pediatrics #DoctorMicah @who @unicefusa
