Wow — hundreds of faith leaders signed a letter against the cruel Tennessee Republican bill to block undocumented kids from schools… including a pastor from Senator Bo Watson’s own church. 😬

Hey, moms-to-be! Data confirms that babies born to vaccinated mothers are less likely to be hospitalized with COVID-19 before they're six months old. If you have questions about vaccines, please speak to your doctor. medicine.yale.edu/news-article...

So sad.

This is exhausting.

NIH to terminate or limit grants related to vaccine hesitancy and uptake The order covers more than 40 awards to researchers around the country seeking to understand why vaccine acceptance has declined.

At a time when vaccination rates are declining, deadly measles outbreaks are spreading, and we’re facing one of the worst flu seasons in decades—in part due to low vaccine uptake—the NIH is reportedly cutting funding for vaccine hesitancy and uptake research.

WTH.

💉🧵The trend to ban mRNA vaccines is extremely concerning. Montana recently voted down a ban and Idaho is introducing a bill to criminalize their use. mRNA vaccines have been studied since 1990 and are a critical scientific advancement. An mRNA vaccine against pancreatic cancer is in clinical trials

U.S. Terminates Funding for Polio, H.I.V., Malaria and Nutrition Programs Around the World Here are some of the 5,800 contracts the Trump administration formally canceled this week in a wave of terse emails.

The Trump administration terminates funding for polio, HIV, malaria and nutrition programs around the world.

“People will die,” said Dr. Catherine Kyobutungi of the African Population and Health Research Center, “but we will never know, because even the programs to count the dead are cut.”

I have also been getting these texts. Watch out!

You’re going to get sick of me posting about measles and other vaccine-preventable diseases.

Tough. A kid died.

I’m not going to be quiet about that.

Parents, please listen to the medical and scientific professionals and protect their kids.

Measles in Seattle
Measles in KY
Measles in NW TX
Measles in NM
Measles in NJ

Parents have been preyed upon my agents of misinformation.

Their children will suffer because of it.

Please, vaccinate your kids.

Add KY to TX, NJ, NM…
Measles spreads like wildfire with each case infecting 12-18 susceptible contacts on average.
Contact tracing means finding every person who was in that gym from the time they arrived until 2h AFTER they left to see if they’re at risk. This is why public health matters.

Kentucky health officials identify measles case in Commonwealth ​The Kentucky Department of Public Health and the Franklin County Health Department said a Kentuckian went to a gym in Frankfort while infectious.

NEW: A Kentuckian with measles went to a gym in Frankfort while infectious. Measles is extremely contagious. The individual had recently traveled internationally to an area with an outbreak. www.whas11.com/article/news... #BlueSky #MedSky #IDSky #SciSky

Same as it ever was going back decades. Everything old is new again.

Well, this was sooner than expected but, unfortunately, not shocking.

Measles is a serious, potentially deadly disease.

This was a preventable death of a child.

Vaccinate your kids.

One thing worth pointing out is that each of these hospitalized pts requires a negative pressure room while infectious, airborne precau by all staff, limitations on visitors, & potential post-exposure prophylaxis for high risk folks who are exposed. It’s an even bigger burden than the numbers imply.

Vaccinated kids at 57% to 73% lower risk of long #COVID, CDC study suggests

The protection against long COVID from vaccination is likely even higher, because the estimates don't account for prevention of infection by vaccination, the authors say.

For any parents out there who have even a FLEETING thought of exposing their child to measles to get “natural immunity”, read Max’s story
We don’t hear a lot about the consequences of measles in the long term. This is subacute sclerosing panencephalitis and it is uniformly fatal.
Vaccinate your kids

Wow. So tragic. Thank you for sharing his story.

Moms in west TX are talking about having measles parties.

Parents purposely subjecting their children to a serious and sometimes deadly infection is next level horrible.

We’re at 110 cases as of yesterday. Death rate is 1-2/1000 cases.

For the love, please vaccinate your kids

Measles Outbreak in Texas and New Mexico Sickens Nearly 100 People (Gift Article) Texas reported 90 cases this week, while New Mexico reported nine. A majority of the cases have been in a Texas county where vaccination rates have lagged behind the rest of the state.

Don’t even think twice about #HPV #vaccination. Have all your children, boys & girls vaccinated. If you didn’t get it and you’re under 45yo. It’s not too late.
Talk to your MD @your next office visit. If your MD isn’t sure about this vaccination you need a new Medical Doctor, period.
