Getting the #RSV #vaccine during pregnancy helped protect babies under 6 months: • Cut doctor visits for RSV by about two-thirds • Reduced RSV hospitalizations by about 70% jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Waiting 4 days seem excessively long to wait for de-escalation! Biggest takeaway is that we have got to find a way to improve #MedEd so that anti-MRSA and anti-pseudomonal ABX are NOT the preferred empiric treatments for community-acquired infections. #IDSky

This is a wildly unethical study that would be illegal to conduct in the United States. Have you heard of the Tuskegee experiments (crimes against humanity)? This sounds like that.

More reasons for me never to go to Florida again! I hope @sidpharm.bsky.social can get the annual meeting moved to a pro-vaccine state soon.

White House Begins Christmas Season With Ceremonial Lighting Of Cross

The ACIP decision to discontinue the recommendation for a universal hepatitis B birth dose vaccine will cause harm. As the federal government continues to fail children's health, families can rely on our nation's physicians to continue to put children's health first.

Any death is tragic; however, the Food and Drug Administration’s vague declaration about the COVID-19 vaccine and pediatric deaths undermines confidence in the safety of the vaccine and raises questions about FDA’s own approval process. Our statement: bit.ly/44B8IvH

I hate to say it, but absolutely do NOT listen to the CDC about vaccines. #IDSky #VaccineSky

Decades of rigorous and scientifically sound research have proven that vaccines do not cause autism. CDC’s decision to change language on its website reversing that finding is reckless & harmful. Our statement w/ @hivma.bsky.social, APIC, @sheaepi.bsky.social & @sidpharm.bsky.social: bit.ly/3XEc0KH

The corrupted CDC website refers to a Danish study (Andersson et al) and "a statistically significant 67% increased risk of Asperger's syndrome per 1 mg increase in aluminum exposure among children born between 2007 and 2018 (Supplement Figure 4)." It's worth putting this into context. Short 🧵

I don’t care what your religion is if you are claiming to provide healthcare. You either actually provide healthcare or you are denying healthcare and forcing people to suffer because your cult doesn’t believe in science. We should not pay tax $ to religious facilities that deny people healthcare.

open.substack.com/pub/pauloffi... The risks of discouraging the birth dose for hepatitis B vaccine.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…well maybe just the worst.

This shall now be known as the “down with IKEA” tariff. Stupid AF 🤬

Stated at ACIP: COVID-19 vaccines are recommended for people 65 years and older and for individuals 6 months to 64 years old based on individual decision making. Fact: Scientific evidence continues to strongly support broad COVID-19 vaccination.

Newborn lives are on the line. The hepatitis B birth dose is safe, effective, and lifesaving yet it’s under attack at ACIP this week. Weakening this policy would be a grave mistake. Read why we must defend it. open.substack.com/pub/bktitanj...

It takes 5 paragraphs to get to the part where they reveal that this incredibly stupid, ridiculously expensive, and unnecessarily dangerous “raid” was targeting a US citizen since birth. And the DHS Secretary was there playing dress up. The absolute stupidest people, just throwing away *our* money.

I’m beyond disgusted and fed up with this country. This is absolute madness that people are losing their jobs after pointing out what a bad person Ch@rlie K!rk was. From my daughter’s HS: www.williamsonherald.com/news/local_n...

"Project 2025 … vowed to strip the CDC of its ability to issue guidance on vaccines and to end required testing for new pathogens." What frustrates me is that these weirdos advertised their plan and yet everyone was still caught off-guard. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

Death from sub-acute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) in a child in Los Angeles SSPE is a rare sequel of #measles infection that appears years after the initial infection, and is uniformly fatal. So sorry for this family. As things are going on the US, we'll be seeing more of these cases.

Just come out and say it: he lied his ass off and made up a bunch of 💩.

The CDC was once the gold standard. Now it’s been decimated — leaders pushed out, expertise silenced, trust shattered. If another pandemic strikes, the cost will be measured in lives. This is what neglect looks like

IDSA calls on insurers to cover COVID vaccines consistent with medical recommendations and evidence, and urges Congress to conduct strong oversight of the Administration’s decision restricting Americans’ freedom to choose vaccination. Our statement: https://bit.ly/3JBFPb6

These are the sorts of attacks on experts that resulted in a domestic terrorist firing 500 shots at the CDC just over a week ago. If you stand for evidence based public health interventions, you basically get a target placed on your back by DHHS leadership. www.politico.com/news/2025/08...
