Modeling Reemergence of Vaccine-Eliminated Infectious Diseases Under Declining Vaccination in the US This study estimates the number of cases and complications in the US under scenarios of declining childhood vaccination for measles, rubella, poliomyelitis, and diphtheria.

New study in JAMA. Modelling shows that at current state-level vaccination rates, measles may become endemic again in the USA. If rates continue to decline, ditto for rubella, poliomyelitis and diphtheria, leading to many preventable hospitalisations and deaths.

Image is the first para of Rufi Thorpe’s book “Margo’s got Money Troubles” and describes the sensation of starting a new book: “you are about to begin reading a new book, and to be honest, you are a little tense. The beginning of a novel is like a first date. You hope that from the first lines an urgent magic will take hold, and you will sink into the story like a hot bath, giving yourself over entirely. But this hope is tempered by the expectation that, in reality, you are about to have to learn a bunch of people’s names and follow along politely like you are attending the baby shower of a woman you barely know. And that’s fine, goodness knows you’ve fallen in love with books that didn’t grab you in the first paragraph. But that doesn’t stop you from wishing they would come right up to you in the dark of your mind and kiss you on the throat.”

The best opening para to a book that I’ve read in a very long time. #ifeelseen #margosgotmoneytroubles #rufithorpe #bookloversofbluesky #books

Love it!! I recall the act of serendipity when you posted your photo of a grain elevator from my home town, before I really knew you, at a point in my life when I needed that touchstone. I expect *you* are the magic. 🙂

In 1985 in Africa 25 vaxxed children were compared with 25 unvaxxed for 5 years.

In the vaxxed group one got mild measles while 4 had suspected whooping cough.

Among the unvaxxed 11 got measles leading to 2 deaths & an unvaxxed child died of tetanus.

This is why we don't do these studies anymore.

Fentanyl. Yeah like that’s the issue. Good luck, USA.

Welcome! I’m still trying to navigate it but … at least I feel like I’m taking some small steps to stay true to my values 🤷‍♀️

Ernest Hemingway once said,
“In our darkest moments, we don’t need advice.”
What we truly need is the power of human connection: a quiet presence, a gentle touch, or the smallest gesture that reminds us we’re not alone.

Just any fyi, if you want to help a mutual get their news, message, or just a cute thing out into the bluesky, reshare them. Hearting them doesn't do this because there is no algorithm here. Get into the habit of reposting to boost others.
