My kid is watching some cartoon series where this plucky child-medico tackles a scary infectious outbreak. Is Doc McStuffins one of your peers @drvyom? Let’s see how she she handles public health leadership... (1/15)

She’s calling for tight restrictions to protect the health in her community. Watch out for the Murdoch press, Doc McStuffins! (2/15)

Uh oh, Doc McStuffins, this lamb is invoking her sovereign rights! (3/15)

McStuffins is recommending Contact Tracing ASAP! (4/15)

She not only modeled the mode of transmission but she’s identified a possible super-spreader: Glo-Bo! (5/15)

I am on the edge of my friggin’ seat! (6/15)

Shut up, Karen! (7/15)

Meanwhile, Glo-Bo is hitting the town, asymptomatic. Up for a cuddle and using dank Glo-Bo lines: (8/15)

The bear is clearly into it. (These are genuine subtitles on Disney+ ) (9/15)

Uh no. Don’t they know there’s a Cuddle Ban! (10/15)

Doc McDanAndrews! (11/15)

Phew! Just in time. Infection stopped. (12/15)

Bear looks a bit disappointed though. (13/15)

This riveting 2012 ep of Doc McStuffins joins Steven Soderberg’s Contagion (2011), eeriely prescient reminders we are all interconnected and fragile. Also effective science communication is vital in the fight against disease, misinformation and conspiracy theories... (14/15)

... ah shit.
