The U.S. pushback against #antivaxxers is getting stronger, but #RFKJr has managed to Make #Measles Great Again. https://www.ft.com/content/905a4d2a-6f8a-444d-b104-8b92eee1d918?accessToken=zwAAAZ1UtzEGkdOQWk0qb4pETdOxBIuS7uHZGA.MEYCIQDYvGJ_hhqCGZBwcus-TvhdEUIvdGaZawWRd3XK7zswZgIhANIu6jj7gNUs_z_YLa1Pp27lDECiw5IyednVbB2rbK2_&sharetype=gift&token=30cc5fef-e14c-4670-89cb-039775e1bdf0&syn-25a6b1a6=1#ImpeachRFKJr #vaccines
New feature on next generation Covid vax: Which vaccines are advancing the most?I highlight 3 in mid- to late-stage trials, with manufacturing partners/plans—including a "universal" Covid vax & a mucosal one—and another 6 vaccines.Plus more clinical trial results & 10 new preclinical reports.Now @PLOS https://absolutelymaybe.plos.org/2026/04/02/accelerating-development-for-some-nextgen-covid-vaxes-update-no-39/#Vaccines #Covid #Covid19
@superflippy It's so scary because there are several generations of health care professionals who've never seen these vaccine-preventable diseases before. We're teaching trainees using old photos. I hope I can catch one early enough if I see one.
RFK Jr. is spreading doubts about vaccine safety and considering changes that could prompt manufacturers to flee the U.S. market.History has shown how plagues from the past can roar back when trust in shots — or access to them — falters.https://www.propublica.org/article/rfk-jr-vaccine-agenda-childhood-plagues?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mastodon-post#News #Health #PublicHealth #Vaccines #Children #History #Science #RFKJr
Sarah Sloat: ‘Strong evidence’ of lowered #dementia risk: the benefits of #shingles vaccination. A growing body of evidence suggests the vaccine may also lower risk of stroke and heart attack.#vaccines #health https://www.theguardian.com/global/2026/mar/17/shingles-vaccination-benefits-dementia-risk
@BruceMirken I contend that doing anything regarding RFK Jr, other than releasing Sirhan Sirhan from prison and giving him a bus ticket to DC and telling him that he got the wrong RFK, is a waste of time!
@aSweetGentleman "It's how they get the microchips in you! They're tracking you," while madly scrolling Facebook on their phone.🤨 It is _so_ hard to take people seriously.The _only_ evolutionary advantage humans have over all the other critters is that we're capable of saving knowledge and sharing it without having to relearn a thing every generation.... Capable is the keyword.
@PamelaBarroway @bicmay @MissConstrue We have these crunchy granola Momsters in CA who think it's better to throw "measles parties" so kids can trade germs for immunity. Now their counterparts in Utah are crying, "If we'd known it was so dangerous we would have vaxxed the kids!" How do we get these people to listen?
