More misinformation about pregnancy and vaccines. I commented on this at the time of ACIP meeting, here's a bit more background. #MedSky + #IDSky + #ObGynSky.

I’m going to try to be a little bit more like Dr Morgan Goheen going forward.

None of this is leadership. It’s abdication of responsibility to the US.

Opinion | What Really Drives Vaccine Hesitancy

This is a really thought-provoking read by Dr. Jennifer Reich at CU.

Maybe having a small panel of people select replacement Representatives isn’t actually a process that facilitates representation

We need more scientists and clinicians in politics. @drannieandrews.com is someone who I would gladly follow into the fight. drannieandrews.com to donate--even a small amount helps.

Don’t take medical advice from the President.

And vote out every single Senator who is responsible for RFK Jr. leading our Department of Health.

A good reminder for all that homelessness is the result of failed policies, not failed people.

The anti-vaxx ACIP is using the same strategy as the anti-abortion groups. Small changes that seem insignificant or "common sense" that are actually meant to erode trust, chip away at access, and abolish vaccines. These folks aren't using science to make decisions. They are deliberately ignoring it.

Dr Bagdasarian is a brilliant human being

Sadly we are at a point where the ACIP should not taken as an authority on vaccines. As a board certified ID physician, I will not be listening to anything coming out of this ACIP.

It appears that RFK wants to revoke the FDA approval for the POLIO vaccine.
While I believe strongly that everyone should be vaccinated, it is against the ethos of the MAHA movement to revoke the ability to choose. If it is not approved, no one has the right to choose. This is a no vaccine MANDATE!

If you're up, pull up a chair, a warm glass of milk, and join us! I'll be talking about HIV risk and overdose risk--and the overlap.

We have 2 vaccines that prevent cancer, the HBV vaccine that prevents hepatitis B related liver cancer and the HPV vaccine that prevents cervical cancer and other HPV associated cancers.
On Thursday, RFK.JR's ACIP will attack one of these vaccines (HBV) and restrict access to it.
Let that sink in!

at 5pm MT (7pm ET): Judy Auerbach and I will be hosting a panel with some freaking amazing people who will help us understand the way forward, why we're not done yet, and why it's so important on saveAIDSresearch.org
