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.

In case RFK Jr convinced you that he is not anti-vax, but merely "skeptical" & concerned about vaccine safety...look here

NIH is terminating awards to obtain reliable data on vaccine hesitancy & ways to improve uptake. This is an explicitly anti-vax policy.

I’m thankful for the top ten scientific developments that improve health:

Vaccines
Antibiotics & antimicrobials
Clean water, sanitation, & hygiene
Food safety & fortification innovations
Modern agriculture methods
Public health education campaigns

The public’s trust is not lost - just damaged. We can & must be fearless in this next phase - making our science

Relevant
comprehensible
tangible
& most of all usable

by communities everywhere. ❤️

More than slightly

Hello! Quick intro:

I’m a recent MPH grad from Brown University and did my undergrad at Nova Southeastern University (fellow alumni, let’s connect!).

Siberian husky dad, based in Michigan, pronouns he/him, and, yes—chronically online.

Looking forward to sharing more on public health and beyond!
