🧵 We are seeing increased whooping cough infections nationally. Whooping cough can be deadly in young babies and the elderly but can be prevented with vaccine (Dtap or Tdap)

Who should get the vaccine?

Children
Pregnant people at 27-36 weeks each pregnancy
Adults every 10 years minimum

Links👇

Once you're fully vaccinated after childhood for pertussis (& got the Tdap once as teen or adult), get the pertussis vaccine every time you're pregnant. This is to protect the baby until 👶 is vaxxed!

Not pregnant but going to visit a newborn 👶? Protect them by being vaccinated against pertussis.

The Federal Register notice for the (now) March #ACIP meeting is now up & it's ... puzzling.
Possible vote on Covid vaccine injury? ACIP can recommend changes to the way a vaccine is used, for safety reasons. But vaccine injuries aren't its turf.

Proof that vaccines prevent measles encephalitis Need proof that vaccines work? How about charts showing that vaccines made measles encephalitis disappear?

So: it’s not just the RFK Jr-funded trial of newborns in Guinea-Bissau proposed by Prof Stabell Benn that is under scrutiny (the one where only half of newborns would be given the hep B vaccine birth dose)

The entire Bandim Health Project is under scrutiny 👇

Usually meetings early in year would discuss fall vaccines. Now Kennedy is cancelling meetings so what will the future vaccines be?

When she died a few days later, we couldn’t have a proper funeral. We couldn’t even say a proper goodbye. We couldn’t visit in the ICU. I watched so many people burn out as COVID-19 invasively converted hospital wards into COVID wards with a profound deficit of PPE. Morgues were overflowing…

HPV-related cervical precancers linked to risk of heart issues A recent study indicates that cervical precancers related to HPV increase the risk of heart disease and mortality in young women. Individuals with prior cervical HSIL showed significantly higher cardiovascular risks. The HPV vaccine is recommended to prevent these precancers and associated health issues. HPV poses risks for various cancers beyond cervical cancer.

.@jessicavalenti.bsky.social is exactly right.

Efforts to stigmatize birth control and restrict information about abortion care are designed to disempower and control young women.

Super good news! Now to try to reverse the vaccine stagnation innovation pipeline in the U.S.

I'm 100% guessing, however, I can see that there might have been a few adults in the room realizing that this is not helpful for the administration, so possibly they got involved.

"safety and transparency" have both been priorities for a long time. I wonder what changes would satisfy such critics?

Unfortunately I suspect this is one of those occasions where no evidence to the contrary will reason a person out of their position.

Federal Vaccine Advisers Take Aim at Covid Shots

“We need to make sure that our vaccine program is characterized by safety and transparency... The focus can’t be on what’s good for various political groups, medical groups, or the pharmaceutical industry.”

☝️No mention of preventing needless suffering and death

The Trump Administration is continuing to politicize government advisory committees, this time on Alzheimer’s Disease. More than 7 million Americans from all walks of life are living with Alzheimer’s Disease. We need advisory committees that are representative of all Americans.

This Is What Destroying the Vaccine Market Looks Like A shocking move by RFK Jr.’s team has the industry spooked—for good reason.

No excuses please for Marty Makary, Vinay Prasad from their enablers in the medical profession. These men have decided it is good for their careers to tank the vaccine market. What evil, evil little men.

His pledge was, of course, gaslighting

What happened, under his leadership, is that:

“many types of health information that steadily flowed from the government for years or decades has been delayed, deleted & in some cases stopped all together”

This was part of his dismantling of public health 😢

RFK Jr. promised to restore trust in US health agencies. One year later, it’s eroding Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is reshaping U.S. health policy as HHS secretary, and doctors say his changes are eroding trust.
