Samoa's perfect storm: How a collapse in vaccination rates killed more than 70 children As parents mourn their dead, Brian Deer unpicks the myths and missteps that allowed measles to traumatise a nation.

RFK Jr.'s involvement in this tragedy needs to be more widely known. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/measles...

Trump's nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is “a genuine catastrophe.” As Secretary of Health and Human Services, the “damage he could do is near infinite.”

Public health experts and scientists say RFK could do "infinite" damage if he's appointed to lead HHS. It's not just vaccines or fluoride: it's Medicaid and Medicare funding, drug development, cancer research, funding for Indian Health Service... it's endless. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Measles cases surge worldwide, infecting 10.3 million people in 2023: WHO There were an estimated 10.3 million cases of measles in 2023 globally -- an increase of 20% from the previous year, according to a new WHO report.

“Nearly 107,500 people died from measles worldwide in 2023 and children under the age of 5 were hit the hardest, the report found.”

abcnews.go.com/Health/measl...

The CDC and WHO report a 20% increase in measles cases last year, driven by decreases in vaccination.

This equated to 107,500 DEATHS, mostly in young children.

This, in a PREVENTABLE disease.

Can only imagine what that number will be if we get rid of all mandates.

HPV infection can cause cancers of the cervix, vagina, vulva, penis, anus, and head/neck.

Vaccination protects us from strains that most commonly cause these cancers.

Kids 9 and up are eligible - HPV vaccine works best when given *before* they are exposed to the virus.

I wholeheartedly agree with this editorial from the president of the National Academy of Sciences

The inability of scientists to separate analysis from opinions on how it should direct policy has been a huge own goal in public trust in science

I’ve seen lots of misunderstanding on what this means
