Protect Their Future

No words. This measles surge is a product of misinfo and disinfo. It will only keep getting worse.

Vaccines are among humanity’s greatest achievements. These monsters are killing people on a historic scale. Unforgivable.

ACIP, CDC, and Insurance Coverage of Vaccines in the United States | KFF This brief provides an overview of vaccine coverage requirements by payer or program, as they relate to ACIP and the CDC.

With federal changes to vaccine policy & recommendations underway, here's our overview of insurance coverage requirements for vaccines by payer, as linked to ACIP/CDC. As we show, federal changes mean consumers could lose access to free vaccines.

"Even the use of 'razor blade throat' as a nickname for the strain may do more to confuse the public about the virus than educate them. It’s true that some people will end up with the aforementioned painful throat. But for those who have other types of symptoms..." 👇 Read @juliadoubleday.bsky.social

Pretty damning considering the JAMA piece last week that said Long COVID has surpassed asthma as the most prevalent chronic illness among children.

Long COVID destroys teenage lungs in ways doctors never saw Long COVID destroys teenage lungs in ways doctors never saw - silent damage persists months after mild infections in developing adolescents.

PAGING RFK Jr— “The assumption that children and teens recover completely from COVID has been shattered by mounting evidence that their developing respiratory systems are uniquely vulnerable to long-term damage.”

Quote from a parent of a child involved in pediatric Covid vaccine trials: My kids contributed literal blood and tears to help demonstrate the safety of these vaccines.

The parents of kids in the original pediatric Covid vaccine trials care more about scientific integrity than the people leading our scientific agencies.
Unbelievable. And maddening.

Thanks for continuing to advocate with us, Sophia! ❤️

Pediatrician Kate Matthias co-founded @protecttheirfuture.bsky.social to advocate for pediatric access while young kids were stuck in limbo. “[…] we worked so hard and we advocated so much to get our kids access and now it might just be taken away – is really upsetting.”

HHS to stop recommending routine Covid shots for children, pregnant people, RFK Jr. ally says A change in recommending Covid vaccines for children and pregnant women would circumvent an expert panel but please many MAHA fans.

Pregnant people are not included in many vaccine trials to protect safety

During Covid this came into question. Pregnant people were at increased risk, & many died due to delays in vaccinating

Excluding pregnant people from vaccine eligibility due to exclusion from RCTs would further the harms

The truth is, we never, in any systematic way, made classrooms safe, like ensuring upgraded ventilation and air purification in schools.

And COVID ripped through classrooms. Kids fueled household spread and hundreds of thousands of them lost caregivers to the virus.

But we don’t talk about THAT.
