The U.S. eliminated measles in 2000, but rising cases are putting that status at risk. Over 1,600 infections have been confirmed this year, and experts say the true number may be higher. This week, an expert commission is meeting to review the latest measles data in the Americas. Canada is expected to be a top focus, with ongoing outbreaks since October 2024, while the U.S. and Mexico have outbreaks that began in January and February of 2025.

The AAP recommends all children receive the MMR vaccine at age 12-15 months, then again at 4-6 years to protect them from measles. Read more from AAP News at https://publications.aap.org/aapnews/news/33659/With-measles-elimination-status-at-risk?searchresult=1

Wild how practicing evidence-based medicine is considered a political stance these days. 🤷‍♂️

Science doesn’t lean left or right. It leans on data, research, and patient care. When we reduce medicine to politics, everyone loses.

😔 Me desvío de las publicaciones de alergias. Hoy es un día triste para la ciencia y para todos los que practicamos la medicina basada en evidencia.

🗞️ El reciente anuncio sobre el autismo está creando confusión al mezclar ciencia con desinformación. Es crucial aclarar las afirmaciones que se hicieron para proteger la salud de todos.

👉🏻Puntos clave de verificación de hechos:

✅Tylenol y Autismo: No existe evidencia científica que vincule el uso de Tylenol (acetaminofén) durante el embarazo con el autismo. Organizaciones médicas como el Colegio Estadounidense de Obstetras y Ginecólogos (ACOG) siguen considerándolo seguro.

✅Vacunas y Autismo: Este vínculo ha sido completamente desacreditado. Décadas de investigación mundial, desde el CDC hasta la OMS, han demostrado que las vacunas son seguras y no causan autismo.

✅Leucovorina: Se ha presentado como una “solución”, pero su potencial beneficio es para un grupo extremadamente pequeño de personas con un trastorno genético específico llamado deficiencia de folato cerebral. No es un tratamiento para la mayoría de los casos de autismo.

La ciencia del autismo es compleja, principalmente con raíces genéticas. No hay una sola causa ni una “cura” milagrosa.

Al final del día, nuestra responsabilidad es buscar la verdad.

Some individuals wrongly assert there is a link between vaccines and autism. Before the claim was discredited, researchers took it seriously, investigated it thoroughly, and found no link. This research, in many countries, involving thousands of individuals, has spanned multiple decades. Any effort to misrepresent sound, strong science poses a threat to the health of children and does a disservice to the autistic community.

Immunizations are important to help children stay healthy, so they can learn, grow and thrive. If parents have questions about vaccines or autism, we encourage them to talk to their child’s pediatrician. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4nI0Rnb

ACOG reaffirms the safety and benefits of acetaminophen use during pregnancy.
More than two decades of research have found no causal link between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability in children. Acetaminophen continues to be an important and safe option for managing pain and fever in pregnancy—conditions that can pose serious risks to pregnant patients and their fetuses if left untreated.
