With current rates of disease, my assessment is that the risk of the disease, whether it is the acute or the multisystem inflammatory syndrome or long COVID, far outweigh the remote risk of mild myocarditis that might be associated with…

We thank Representative Schrier, a fellow pediatrician, and Representatives Joyce, Butterfield, and McKinley for introducing this strong, bipartisan piece of legislation.

The American Academy of Pediatrics strongly supports the strengthening of the Vaccines for Children Program Act of 2021.

We strongly encourage parents to get the vaccine for themselves and for their eligible children.

I understand there is quite a bit of variability in the EIS conditions.

I am very grateful for the care that these licensed facilities continue to provide for these unaccompanied children.

Having visited ORR's licensed ORR facilities in Texas last Congress and as a pediatrician, I really appreciate your concerted effort to act in the best interests of these children.

Defeating COVID-19 should be our current priority, along with preparedness for the next public health challenge or pandemic.

I want to the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health, ARPA-H, to focus on breakthrough research for diseases like cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer's.

If we want to get this to rural America, just like we did with electricity, this is where we invest.

My State of Washington is laser-focused on expanding broadband connectivity.

Access to broadband now translates directly to access to education and jobs and telehealth.
