As expected, ACIP will officially be voting today to change the recommendation for the birth dose of Hepatitis B vaccine to a process that is simply going to make pediatric Hep B cases increase.

It’s just their latest science-free policy-based evidence making.

FDA official proposes ‘impossible’ standards for vaccine testing that could curtail access to immunizations

If new proposals detailed in an FDA memo are put into place, experts told me it would mean the end of annual flu shots. And end of most vaccines for pregnant people. And maybe the end of updates to pneumonia vaccines. And more.

Cowardly

Good.

Raining just above freezing is the worst!

All it takes is a sharpie.

LONG RAMBLING EMOTIONAL THREAD:

It's World AIDS Day. Since the Administration has decided to keep it quiet, I'd like to share my introduction to AIDS.

I grew up in Seattle. My mom remarried a man who had a brother who was a King County Sheriff's Deputy. His name was Terry and he was gay. 1/x

The U.S. Is Funding Fewer Grants in Every Area of Science and Medicine (Gift Article) A quiet policy change means the government is making fewer bets on long-term science.

This World AIDS Day, we remember the hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers lost to HIV and AIDS, and those living with HIV today. We must remind ourselves and each other that the fight isn’t over until the epidemic is over for everyone.

be the bitch doing something yourself that you want to see in the world

I cringe every time.

this is just gutter racism

The charging cords. Always the charging cords.

Oh no, Chris! I’m sorry to hear this! 😡

A snowflake-like picture of the nine viruses against which, from 1st January 2026, all children in the UK will be offered free vaccines through the NHS routine childhood immunisation schedule. They are (clockwise from top L) measles virus (the cause of measles and of measles encephalitis), varicella zoster virus (chickenpox, shingles, and a potential contributor to dementia), poliovirus (poliomyelitis and paralysis), mumps virus (mumps), hepatitis B virus (hepatitis, cirrhosis and liver cancer), human papillomavirus (cervical cancer), influenza virus (influenza), rotavirus (gastroenteritis), rubella virus (German measles, miscarriage, congenital rubella syndrome). The box is 400 nm across, or a two thousand five hundredth of a millimetre.

Nine childhood vaccines…

SAME!!!

Dear God, this is disturbing. Imagine having the financial resources to do immense good for humanity in any area you wanted to…and doing this instead. 😢

👏👏👏 you deserve it! Enjoy your time! ❤️

This is a story about how America’s world-leading cancer and dementia research system was destroyed by frauds and naifs who broke the law.

There must be consequences.

Yes, Trump is an extraordinary pathology in American politics. But it’s run-of-the-mill GOP politicians who have empowered RFK Jr to kill innumerable children with his lunacy.

Definitely “collecting stupid as we go”

Same—it’s not silly. I’m livid and devastated and can’t put it accurately into words.

Oh great! This morning the CDC has a page up on how vaccines might cause autism. Absolutely unconscionable.
