"Medi-Cal is especially important for children with disabilities because they often need more specialized and expensive care than children without special health care needs."

Just saw a 4th grader for a paper cut -- to the eye. Right down the middle of the cornea across her iris.

You know how your teacher says to read things closely? Not that much!

(Otherwise not severe, just an oddball eyeball.)

"57% decreased odds of 1 or more PCC symptoms and a 73% decreased odds of 2 or more PCC symptoms" - that's dramatically lower odds of a child suffering:

unable to remember
unable to focus
unable to exercise
headache
insomnia
lightheadedness, fainting
extreme fatigue
loss of vivacity, joie de vivre
personality changes
hospitalization and death

Protect your children.

Otherwise, if they survive, they will wonder why you didn't protect them, when it costs only the time to get vaccinated, and a few pennies a day N95s and HEPA filters.

Otherwise, you might find yourself mourning the potential you KNEW your child had, and desperately hoping for treatments.

Treatments may never come. Neurons don't come back. Developmental windows close.

Don't be the ghoul that condemns your children, don't strip their future because it's not cool to mask. It might not be cool to wear a bike helmet either. Concussions can't be undone, either. Don't usher your children willingly into suffering and disability.

DON'T FUCKING STACK THE ODDS AGAINST YOUR KIDS.

Honestly it's so bad. Queensland in Australia is the latest state to try to ban GAC - for now in public paediatric clinics.

I think all doctors should be aware of how bad the Cass report is and advocate for its retraction.

@luckytran @luckytran@threads.net who would you suggest I tag/boost it do? Is it already trending again on medical mastodon/threads? I'm so out of the loop!
