A Blue Ash doctor created a viral video urging vaccination.

Then things got ‘frightening.’

Erin Glynn Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Nicole Baldwin, a pediatrician working in suburban Cincinnati, posted a TIkTok video encouraging vaccination on Twitter the evening of Saturday, Jan. 12.

It took less than 24 hours for the video to go viral on both TikTok, a video sharing app, and Twitter – and just another 48 hours before Baldwin was facing backlash from hundreds of thousands of people associated with the anti-vaccine movement.

The video shows Baldwin dancing to “Cupid Shuffl e” and pointing to diseases that vaccines prevent. It ends with her pointing to the words “Vaccines don’t cause autism.”

Baldwin, 42, sees social media as a useful way to spread public health information to her patients. She maintains an active presence on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest and runs a blog with tips on keeping parents and children well. The Blue Ash, Ohio pediatrician said she created her TikTok account last week because she wanted to reach a diff erent demographic than she does with her other accounts.

“Obviously, as a pediatrician, I know that vaccines are safe. And I think there’s a lot of misconception out there about them,” Baldwin told The Enquirer.

“I know TikTok has this huge adolescent population as well as some younger adults, so my hope was to spread, you know, that vaccines are safe – spread that message to a diff erent audience than what I’d reached on other social media.”

The anti-vaccine movement made headlines last spring, when widespread distrust of the pharmaceutical industry and the belief that vaccines can lead to autism in children led to a measles out-

“I think in this day and age, Google reviews and Yelp reviews are king. And I think that that is the goal for a lot of these people: to hurt my livelihood, to damage my reputation because I believe something different than they do. And it is frightening.”

break.

There is no link between vaccines and autism, studies have repeatedly shown, Commenters across Baldwin’s social media platforms insulted her, referred to vaccines as “poison” and suggested Baldwin was being paid to promote vaccination. One commenter wrote, “Dead doctors don’t lie.” People then fl ocked to her Yelp and Google Review pages, leaving one-star reviews in an attempt to sabotage Baldwin’s ratings.

“I think in this day and age, Google reviews and Yelp reviews are king,” Baldwin told The Enquirer. “And I think that that is the goal for a lot of these people: to hurt my livelihood, to damage my reputation because I believe something diff erent than they do. And it is frightening.”

By Tuesday, people started calling Baldwin’s practice and harassing the staff . When a woman called on Wednesday threatening to “shut the practice down,” the offi ce had to call the police.

own intense online backlash from the anti-vaccine movement two years prior and started the organization Shots Heard Round the World as a result.

That group’s mission is to help health care professionals fi ght off globally coordinated attacks from the anti-vaccine movement. The attacks leveled at Baldwin were the largest the organization has seen since they launched their website for health care providers to report an attack in September 2019.

Many physicians that receive this kind of backlash to a post about vaccinations, eventually have to take their post down out of concern that their online ratings will go down and they’ll lose potential patients, Wolynn said.

“Hospitals are businesses. They live and die by the ratings and the reviews,” Wolynn said.

Shots Heard has a closed Facebook group for volunteers to coordinate responses to antivaccine attacks. Wolynn refers to these coordinations as “informal activations” of the network and says the organization has helped coordinate over 50 responses to this kind of incident.

For more large-scale attacks, like what the backlash against Baldwin’s post grew into, Shots Heard triggers a “formal activation,” meaning an email is sent out to the entire volunteer network.

Baldwin ended up with 11 people volunteering their services to monitor her social media pages and prevent the spread of inaccurate information about vaccines.

By Thursday morning, the volunteers had banned over 5,000 anti-vaccine accounts on Facebookand the angry calls to Baldwin’s offi ce had slowed. By Friday afternoon, Google Reviews had removed all fraudulent reviews of Baldwin’s practice.

“When the bullies get pushback, they dissipate,” Wolynn said.

“They’d rather go after people who don’t have help and have to try to defend themselves.”

Baldwin says the experience won’t stop her from trying to get out the message that vaccines are safe.

“There will be more TikToks to come,” Baldwin said.

Painkiller prescribing plummets in ERs Terry DeMio Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Think you need pain pills for an injury? Be aware: If you go to a hospital emergency room these days you're a lot less likely to leave with a prescription for them than before the opioid crisis.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently released an analysis of emergency department prescribing that shows rates dropped nearly a third from 2006-07 to 2016-17.

Since then, laws have cut even deeper into the power of doctors to prescribe pain killers.

So what does that mean to you? Will you have to endure more suff ering? Will you be treated properly for your pain?

Dr. Mark Binstock, co-chief medical information offi cer for Bon Secours Mercy Health, said patients at the health system's 43-plus hospitals in the United States should feel safer.

The drop in prescribing comes with education for prescribers about how to deal with acute patient pain (the kind that comes with a broken bone or a shoulder dislocation, for example) without putting patients at risk for opioid dependence or misuse, he said.

"The patient can know, 'My encounter with the ED will ... lead to a good outcome. I will not be exposed to unnecessary threats ... downstream.'

"They will treat the pain in a safe way," Binstock said.

Dr. Shawn Ryan, who is both a certifi ed addiction expert and a specialist in emergency medicine, says the drop doesn't mean people are getting shorted on treatment.

"It does not mean that the EDs are not treating pain," said Ryan, founder of BrightView Health centers in Ohio, which treat addiction. "It just means that they may consider alternative medicines or treatments for pain that are in the best interest of the patient."

Prescription pain pills that are opioids.

ENQUIRER FILE PHOTO

Ryan said that, whether a patient still experiences pain, and how much, varies from person to person and the type of injury or illness. Those who end up with chronic pain may be referred to a painmanagement specialist.

But some doctors watching the opioid crisis say the cutback in prescribing is not OK. That group includes Dr. Jeff rey Singer, who practices general surgery in Phoenix and is a senior fellow at the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank in Washington, D.C. "It means that a lot of people are getting under-treated for pain," Singer said.

He says he's seen it repeatedly as a practicing surgeon.

"I get people coming to me from emergency rooms under-treated for their pain," he said, adding that some are told "use Tylenol" for an injury that requires surgery when what he believes they really needed was an opioid.

In Ohio, prescriptions for acute pain are limited to seven days (with some exemptions). Kentucky has further limited prescriptions to three days' worth, because of legislation.

And a whole host of states have created laws limiting prescribing to try to curb the epidemic, National Conference of State Legislatures research shows.

Bon Secours Mercy Health has chronicled a big drop in emergency depart-

ment opioid prescriptions to adults from 2016-2019.

Its nine Cincinnati-area emergency departments reduced opioid prescribing by half, from 45,880 to 22,795 in that period, records show.

Add to that this change: Emergency department staff wrote 89% fewer highdose prescriptions for pain pills, dropping from 847 to 91 during the same, 2016-19 period.

That's because it's a priority for the hospital system to address the opioid crisis, said Wayne Bohenek, chief ancillary services offi cer (which includes pharmacy). Bon Secours Mercy has taken several measures to combat the epidemic, including providing prescription drop-off bins throughout their hospitals, assessing all patients for substance use disorder, directing them to appropriate treatment for addiction and looking closely at prescribing.

As part of its broader goal, Mercy has streamlined information for its prescribers to closely monitor patients' past prescriptions at other prescriber locations and, in the same computer system, provide physicians with tools they need for prescribing appropriately, Binstock said.

Similar measures have been taken at other hospitals, the CDC numbers show and area hospital offi cials confi rm.

Singer does not see benefi t in the trend.

"This is cruel," he said.

And, he added, "Trying to legislate how to do medicine is wrong."

Singer advocates for harm-reduction strategies, which help people who use drugs stay safe. The strategies include syringe exchange, medication-assisted treatment, access and use of naloxone and safe-injection sites that have medical professionals who ensure the safety of those who use them.

He argues that legitimate prescriptions are less of a danger than blackmarket pills, which can be fentanyl powder pushed into molds that are designed to look like pain pills.

Pain prescribing rules, such as guidelines established by the CDC, actually help ensure that people are "appropriately treated for pain" rather than turned away without help, said Cameron McNamee, director of policy and communications for the Ohio Board of Pharmacy.

Beyond the impact on those who actually go to a hospital emergency department, he and Ryan say, is a positive societal eff ect: Having fewer prescription pain pills in circulation.

"There is a public health perspective that the volume of pills that were in the public presented a risk that someone who was not prescribed them would get them," Ryan said, "through no malice, no intent of the person prescribed them."

McNamee agreed, saying that as more pain pills are left in medicine cabinets unused, it's more likely for them to slip into the hands of those for whom they weren't prescribed, such as teenagers, neighbors, relatives or friends.

It just makes sense to watch prescribing closely, McNamee said.

"We have to keep our eye on the ball."

Why your commute seems stressful Erin Glynn and Madeline Northup The Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

If your commute seems more diffi cult lately, here's why.

We checked into interstate construction projects currently aff ecting commuters, plus the projects on the horizon, according to the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) and the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC).

Here's what to watch out for: I-275 repaving and bridge repair ❚ This is part of a $31 million ODOT project stretching from Four Mile Rd. to the Kentucky side of the river. Construction is currently focused on repairing the Combs-Hehl Bridge. ❚ ❚ Estimated completion: Late fall or early winter 2020.

I-75 Mill Creek Expressway ❚ ODOT is currently widening and resurfacing I-75 in an almost $87 million project. This project will also reconstruct the I-74 and I-75 interchange. ❚ At this time, the project is in stage fi ve of 12 and will add a fourth lane to I-75 between Hopple Street and Mitchell Street. ❚ Estimated completion: September 2022 I-75 Thru the Valley ❚ This nearly $600 million sevenphase project will add lanes to I-75 and repair the pavement and interchanges.

Construction is in phases one and two right now. ❚ Currently, construction is focused on creating a fourth lane between Shepherd and Glendale-Milford, reconstructing the Shepherd interchange and realigning Neumann Way. Drivers should expect lane closures. ❚ Estimated completion: fall 2020

Looking south from Kennedy Avenue, construction continues along Interstate 71, between the Norwood Lateral (Ohio 562) and Red Bank Road exits Jan. 13. The freeway between the exits will be widened to three continuous lanes as part of a $36 million project, stretching to Ronald Reagan Cross County Highway.

Looking north from Kennedy Avenue, construction continues along Interstate 71, between the Norwood Lateral (Ohio 562) and Red Bank Road exits on Jan. 13.

The freeway between the exits will be widened to three continuous lanes as part of a $36 million project, stretching to Ronald Reagan Cross County Highway.

I-71 repaving/bridge work ❚ The goal of this $36 million project is to resurface and repair Stewart Bridge, as well as repair the other bridges from north of Norwood Lateral to Ronald Reagan Cross County Highway. ❚ The area between Norwood Lateral and Red Bank Expressway will also be widened to three continuous lanes. The northbound Ridge exit will be removed in favor of adding a northbound exit to Kennedy Avenue. There will be ongoing lane closures as a result until the projects' completion. ❚ Estimated completion: late sum-

mer 2021

A look ahead: Kentucky construction halted for the winter but will be back starting in March.

I-75 pavement resurfacing and additional auxiliary lanes ❚ The fi rst phase of this project which focused on the northbound section between Mount Zion Road and the Kenton County line has been completed, but phase two begins this spring. ❚ The purpose of phase two is to construct a southbound merging lane and

repair the pavement between mile marker 183 and the Mount Zion Road interchange. ❚ KYTC advises drivers watch for work crews, equipment and trucks in the area and occasional lane closures. ❚ Estimated completion: fall 2020.

I-275 pavement repair ❚ Phase one of this $31 million project was completed in November and repaired the pavement from Mineola Pike to Dixie Highway. ❚ The westbound phase of the project concerns the area from Dixie Highway to Turfway Road. There will be a reduced speed limit in the area and KYTC advises drivers watch out for lane closures. ❚ Estimated completion: construction is expected to continue through 2020.

St. X wrestling’s Martinez brothers reinforce the American dream Alex Harrison Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Not many wrestlers have a bad day on the mat and go home to play the violin to blow off steam.

St. Xavier wrestler Joel Martinez does. His twin brother and fellow wrestler, Johan Martinez, doesn’t follow the same method. Johan instead plays the viola.

“They break a lot of stereotypes here don’t they?” St. Xavier head wrestling coach Neal Ryan asked about the duo. The brothers were inclined to agree.

Both started wrestling as freshmen in high school. Each had a proclivity to physicality and some “roughhousing” so they left behind the family’s favorite sport of baseball for wrestling. It worked out well.

In the Southwest Ohio Wrestling Coaches Association fi rst weight class rankings released Jan. 8, Joel was ranked No. 6 in the 182-pound weight class while Johan was No. 2 in the 195-pound class. At the Elderhosted Catholic Invitation Tournament Jan. 18 and 19, both wrestled on the fi nal day of the tournament. Joel earned a fourth-place fi nish and Johan a runner-up, second-place spot on the podium.

“At fi rst, our mom was begging the coaches, ‘Don’t let them hurt my boys. Don’t let them hurt my boys,’” Joel said. “Now at this point, she mentions, ‘Don’t let my boys hurt anyone else.’”

Said Ryan, “Typically, by the time you’re a senior, the top wrestlers in the city have been wrestling since they were in grade school. What makes these guys unique is they are top in the city and the state and they didn’t

start until their freshman year. That goes to show you the trajectory of how hard they worked to get where they are.”

Hard work got the Martinez brothers to the height of more than wrestling rankings. Before wrestling, Joel and Johan were sixth-graders at Princeton Community Middle School, picking up music for the fi rst time and the practice paid off . It also helped give the twins, who are not identical twins but still have a close resemblance, unique identities.

“I took to the violin. He took to the viola,” Joel said. “Back then we were having identity issues, like, ‘Who is Joel and who is Johan? How do we really decide that?’ So we decided to be ironic about it.”

Johan took the viola, essentially a larger violin that plays lower notes.

As beginners, Johan’s viola was identical physically to Joel’s violin, but played its own notes and had a diff erent character.

Both took to music and each became section leaders in St. Xavier’s ensemble. Joel was named concertmaster as fi rst chair in the fi rst violin section.

“Johan is technically not concertmaster, but he has an equivalent position,” Joel explained of his brother’s role. “While he’s not concertmaster, I consider him my second in command.”

The success Joel and Johan earned throughout their hobbies and sports was no coincidence. Each noted the hard work involved in becoming successful in a fi eld and how their childhood upbringing made their accomplishments possible.

Joel and Johan’s parents met in a New York factory after both came to See BROTHERS, Page 2B

Colerain alum Coombs is hot name in NFL coaching Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

You may remember defensive back Brayden Coombs from Colerain High School’s last Ohio Division I state championship in 2004. The Cardinals were 15-0 and pretty much obliterated anyone in their path.

If you’ve heard Coombs is the new Detroit Lions special teams coach, you may be thinking he’s too young.

Particularly in today’s NFL, that couldn’t be further from the truth.

Coombs is 33 years old with 10 years of NFL experience, eight seasons more than his father, Kerry Coombs, has logged as defensive backs coach of the Tennessee Titans.

“To be honest with you, sometimes I

don’t realize I’ve been in the NFL 10 years,” Coombs said. “It goes fast when you’re enjoying it. You kind of blink and look up and a decade’s gone by.”

Climbing the ladder Special teams has been a pathway to head coaching in the pros as the Baltimore Ravens hired John Harbaugh from the special teams ranks and Joe Judge recently went from New England Patriots special teams coach to Giants head coach.

Of the 10 years Brayden Coombs spent with the Cincinnati Bengals, seven involved assisting highly regarded Bengals special teams coach Darrin Simmons, who is now Zac Taylor’s assistant head coach.

“If you ask me, he’s the best special teams coordinator in the world,” Coombs said of Simmons. “He comes from a really good tree. He’s got a system I believe in that I learned. He’s the most prepared and detailed coach I’ve been around. He leaves no stone unturned.”

The fast track?

If you still think 33 is too young keep in mind that Sean McVay of the Los Angeles Rams, Lane Kiffi n of the Oakland Raiders, Raheem Morris of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Dave Shula of the Bengals, Josh McDaniels of the Denver Broncos, John Madden of the Raiders and Don Shula of the Indianapolis Colts (prior to the Miami Dolphins) were all

NFL head coaches at age 33 or less.

While it’s day-to-day and Coombs is ecstatic for his new Lions opportunity, a long-term goal would be moving up the chain and calling the shots someday.

“I think that anyone that gets into this profession, the ultimate goal is to lead a team,” Coombs said. “I don’t have it on my mirror every morning. I’m just trying to do the very best job I can in the job that I’m in. I want to help the Detroit Lions surprise a lot of people next year and win some games.”

Mid-American Conference, while his father, Kerry, left Colerain after the 2006 season to join Brian Kelly’s Cincinnati Bearcats.

By 2009, Brayden Coombs was done as a RedHawk and started as a coaching intern for Marvin Lewis and the Bengals. Kerry Coombs stayed with Butch Jones at UC through 2011 and then was with Ohio State and Urban Meyer from 2012-2017 before moving to Nashville with the Titans and Mike Vrabel. It’s been widely reported Kerry Coombs will be rejoining the Buckeyes and Ryan Day after the NFL playoff s.

“Watching my dad is one of the proudest things for me,” Coombs said.

“I’ve been around a lot of really good football coaches but the best coach I’ve ever been around to this day is my dad.

Obviously I’m biased. I think if you ask a lot of players who played for him, they would say the same thing. Watching this run that they (Titans) have been on is the most fun I’ve had watching football

the United States from the Dominican Republic. Each parent worked in factories while completing their education.

“In psychology, we just learned that things heavy in work ethic like school and career choices are heavily infl uenced by your parents,” Johan said.

“Honestly, I attribute a lot of what I’ve done to my parents and what they’ve instilled in me.”

Joel added: “Their work ethic was strongly instilled in us. They come over to the United States and our mom, in particular, faced a lot of push back. She came at 17 and it was her senior year.

on TV that I can remember.”

The building blocks for Kerry and Brayden Coombs come from Colerain High School where Kerry led the Cardi-

nals to seven straight Greater Miami Conference championships and the 2004 state crown. Since his departure, Colerain has maintained their spot atop the standings, winning their 20th straight league title this past fall.

“I’ll never feel far removed from Colerain,” Brayden Coombs said. “That’s embedded in my core. That played a huge role in molding me into the person I am. It’s a community that works hard and supports one another. We felt no one was ever going to be tougher than us and that you were going to have to kill us to beat us.”

Coombs still speaks of Colerain’s culture as a heavy infl uence on how his teams should approach their seasons.

The game plans weren’t complicated,

Her parents were like, ‘No. You will work in a factory,’ and mom’s like, ‘I want to fi nish school,’ so she had to learn the language and eventually graduate. She told us that story a lot which is why I can remember it so clearly.

“She emphasizes the importance of education. It’s sort of cliche, but the American dream lives in education. If you want to see social progression it starts at school and caring for school starts at home.”

Both brothers accepted spots in the University of Pennsylvania’s nursing school for the class of 2024. Joel wanted to focus on pediatric nursing to work with children while Johan still searched for a specifi c area of nursing studies.

“When I started looking at college programs, I saw the diff erence in being a

doctor and in being a nurse was a nurse provided more personalized care. It’s intimate,” Joel said. “I wanted to care for the human person rather than just their body.”

Joel and Johan volunteered at an iSPACE summer camp helping kids learn STEM subjects and Joel helped at a retirement home while in a service class at school. The desire to form human connections compounds on the brothers’ wish to make life better for the communities around them. It circles back around to their parents and building off of the life given to Joel and Johan.

“Our grandparents lived on a farm that was kind of secluded and rural,” Johan said. “Now our parents live in a suburb in America. Hopefully we can do better for them.”

Of the 10 years Brayden Coombs (above) spent with the Cincinnati Bengals, seven involved assisting highly regarded Bengals special teams coach Darrin Simmons, now Zac Taylor’s assistant head coach.

but the preparation was top shelf. The play was fast and physical.

The move to the Motor City Brayden Coombs’ new boss in Detroit is Matt Patricia, who has gone 9-22-1 with the Lions the past two years after 14 seasons of assisting Bill Belichick in New England. Detroit’s last winning season was 2017 and their playoff win drought is almost as long as Cincinnati’s dating back to January 1982.

“You have to be around the right players, the right coaching staff to learn from and stuff can happen fast,” Coombs said. “You strike while it’s hot, catch lightning in a bottle and who knows what can happen?”

At least for the immediate future, Coombs, his wife and three kids know their plans for Thanksgiving Day. The family meal will have to work around football as Detroit has played the holiday game each year since 1934.

“That’s a great perk,” Coombs said.

“You know it’s home every year. You know it’s the fi rst game. You can make a new tradition. Go win the game and have Thanksgiving at our house.”

Men called to live a life of excellence If you were a 3-time Super Bowl Champion, decorated Air Force pilot, author, happily married with a family, life would be good, right? For Chad Hennings, former star of Hennings the Dallas Cowboys, life was empty until he found how much better his life could be through faith.

On Saturday, Feb. 22 Chad will share his personal struggles and the reason why men are making a mistake by living their lives on an island

without meaningful relationships with other men.

He has a plan for living a life of excellence.

“You can’t survive as a lone wolf ”, says Chad. All the way through childhood, while winning a state wrestling champion and being named the best football lineman in college, he performed but felt alone.

The City of Blue Ash Parks and Recreation Department is honored to announce it has received a $10,000 grant from the Duke Energy Foundation’s Powerful Communities Program.

The check was presented Jan. 21 to Blue Ash City Manager David Waltz and Blue Ash Parks and Recreation Director Brian Kruse. (Photos below) The funds will help fi nance the Blue Ash Summit Park Stream Restoration Project, which is part of the park’s state-ofthe-art water recycling system.

Most of the rain that falls on the park is collected and reused in an irrigation system, which replenishes the Great Lawn and other park landscapes.

“We are excited about the opportunity to continue the Creek Restoration at Summit Park.

With Duke Energy’s help, we are looking forward to building on this natural initiative and further enhance the Playscape space already beloved by our Community,” said Blue Ash Parks and Recreation Director Brian Kruse.

Thanks to this funding support from Duke Energy and a 2015 Clean Water Act Section 319(h) Grant from the Ohio EPA and the U.S. EPA, the on-site creek is being restored to serve as a natural fi lter to help reduce erosion and pollution.

The creek, along with stormwater collection ponds, mimics the fi ltration of natural wetlands and contributes to the unique Naturescape playground at Summit Park.

At the one-of-a-kind Natural Playscape, stones rocks, sand and water come together for a play experience that de-

judged anonymously. All entries are fi nal. Stories should be acceptable for general audiences. One entry will be accepted per person. The original and unpublished stories must be between 1,000 and 2,500 words.

Winners will be announced April 20 and the stories will be published on the library’s website blog. First-, second- and third-place winners will receive $150, $100 and $50 gift cards, respectively.

Cincinnati Parks appoints permanent director Erin Glynn Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Cincinnati Board of Park Commissioners has announced its decision to appoint Kara Kish as permanent director of Cincinnati Parks.

Kish has been serving as interim director since October, when former Director Wade Walcutt resigned, citing his excitement to “take advantage of another

professional opportunity.”

Kish is originally from Mentor, Ohio, and has spent more than 20 years working in parks and administration, with stints as president of the Indiana Park and Recreation Association and chair of Kish the National Park and Recreation Association’s Great Lakes Regional Network.

As the director, Kish will be responsible for more

than 5,000 acres of the city’s public parks.

“Kara has earned this,” Brad Lindner, president of the Board of Park Commissioners, said in a news release. “Over the past few months it has become clear just how fortunate we as a Board are to have her experience, talents and her pure passion for parks leading our eff orts to operate and improve our system of parks, trails and programs.”
