Numbers For You On Flu

November 5, 2013 Leave a Comment

> It’s time for flu shots. Winter respiratory season is on its way and, “The single best way to protect against flu is to be vaccinated every year.” Ideally your child (and you) will have had the flu shot at least 2 weeks prior to any exposure to the virus. If your infant, child, or […]

Undervaccination

October 6, 2013 2 Comments

There isn’t a lot of research on children’s safety when a child is on an alternative vaccine schedule. While we clearly know that the longer you wait to immunize a child for vaccine-preventable illnesses, the longer the window of time a child is left susceptible, there isn’t a huge data set on children who are […]

It's Time For Flu Shots

September 9, 2013 11 Comments

Please don’t tune me out on this one. Don’t let this post resemble Gary Larson’s The Far Side cartoon where you only hear, “Blah, blah, blah, Flu shot, blah, blah, blah, Flu shot, blah, blah, blah” I write about flu every year because it’s one infectious disease that is not only more aggressive and dangerous […]

Simply Not Factual

August 6, 2013 36 Comments

Simply not factual. That’s really all that needs to be said in response to Michael Edwards’ opinion piece entitled “Vaccine Side Effects and Why You Shouldn’t Vaccinate” published in Organic Lifestyle Magazine last week. This is clearly a non-peer reviewed, non-fact-checked online publication that Mr Edwards edits and owns. Fortunately, the magazine is reported to get about […]

Your Social Network, Your Kids' Vaccines

July 22, 2013 5 Comments

We live in a profoundly different time today when it comes to caregiving, parenting, and gaining health care/advice than we did even 5 or 10 years ago. The internet has changed things dramatically. During an interview recently a reporter asked, “You were raised on digital media, yes?”  Well, no. I didn’t started using email until […]

Measles In Seattle

July 17, 2013 1 Comment

There is a report of more measles here in Seattle. Measles is a highly contagious and potentially severe infection that causes fever, rash, cough, and red, watery eyes. It is mainly spread through the air after a person with measles coughs or sneezes. King County Public Health released information today detailing new cases and potential places for […]

Jenny On The View

July 15, 2013 28 Comments

Jenny McCarthy is officially joining The View. “Do I have opinions?” one reporter asked today. Yup. My concerns center around Jenny McCarthy’s past willingness to trade-in her experience for expertise. That is, she widely shared her theories and anecdotes about her son’s experience with learning challenges and falsely placed blame on vaccines for his then-diagnosed autism. […]

Modern Parenthood, Vaccines, And Myth With Mnookin

April 22, 2013 6 Comments

This Tuesday evening, I’m joining Seth Mnookin at Town Hall in Seattle to discuss vaccines, modern parenthood, and (mis)information about vaccinations online. Although you may know Seth Mnookin secondary to his crucial role in the Boston Marathon Bombings story this past week, at his other day job he’s the co-director of the graduate program in […]
