GPs are said to have a "vested interest" in increasing their role in MH. Here's the facts. We represent 3% of the total MH budget. We see most of the patients. We cost 1/4 cost of psychiatrist per min. We earn 3x more doing flu vax per min. Why does increasing MH benefit me?

1/ Why ATAGI's advice today regarding COVID vaccines in 6mo - 5yo is incredibly bad comms and will certainly come back to haunt them when they inevitably want ALL 6mo - 5yo to be vaccinated. 🧵

Maybe we could keep/reinstate mask mandates for a bit while we figure out this liver failure issue that’s mostly affecting infants and toddlers, our littlest littles, a group that has literally no way of personal responsibility-ing their way through this? Just a thought.

Very significant risks for pregnant women, from coronavirus. To both mother and child. From tomorrow, any women who is >24 weeks pregnant will be able to get PRIORITY vaccination. Vaccination protects mothers and babies. Please, if you can, get vaccinated. #covid19vic

25-year-old Gesti was by all accounts a dedicated doctor, mother & friend. She tested positive for COVID on July 2 and gave birth on July 3. By July 22 she had died. Her husband Sunni hopes her story is a wake up call for Indonesians on the threat of Delta abc.net.au/news/2021-07-29/i…

Fauci just announced the end of Trump's Gag Rule that defunded NGOs who even discussed abortion with women.
This meant closing women's health services, family planning clinics, HIV clinics. Studies found use of birth control DROPPED by 14% & abortion rose by 40% as a result.
