While vitamin supplementation can help support your immune system, they pale in comparison to the efficacy of vaccines in preventing certain infections, like measles.

Vitamin A doesn't prevent measles

I knew it was too good to be true.

It wasn't on my bingo card to see this from #RFKJR. Glad to see this. "Vaccines not only protect individual children from measles, but also contribute to community immunity, protecting those who are unable to be vaccinated due to medical reasons." www-foxnews-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.foxn...

Richest guy in the world telling us we can’t afford to have our government fund cancer research.

Vaccines have saved millions of lives, yet misinformation continues to cause confusion and fear. With the rise of social media, myths about vaccines have spread rapidly, leading some to question their safety and effectiveness.

Vaccines work by training the immune system to recognize and fight diseases before encountering them naturally. They go through a rigorous pre-approval process and a post-release monitoring program to ensure a high level of safety.

Here are some great accounts to follow here on Bluesky #FMSky #MedSky go.bsky.app/HTYShkU

Measles guidance provided by RFK Jr. includes information about administering vitamin A to measles patients, so I wanted to share this helpful graphic from the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases. Vitamin A alone does not prevent measles. Vaccination does. @nfidvaccines.bsky.social

Perhaps it is because we keep using science to counter their lies, myths, and misconceptions, so they are cutting off access to the science.

Alright insurance companies, factor this into your cost v. savings analysis for these medications.

Hey DOGE, if you are listening over here on #Bluesky, this seems like a great way to make efficient use of federal funds. Please share this with HHS Sec. Kennedy.

Even vaccine skeptic Sec. Kennedy knows increasing group immunity is the way out of this as he is sending emergency MMR vaccines to TX from the federal stockpile.

Damn. If only there were a way to prevent measles AND rubella at the same time

New post dropped. #MedSky #FMSky #VaccinesCauseAdults

Vaccines are one of the best lifesaving interventions that medicine has developed and are an important part of our public health program here in the US.

This entire thread is important to read.

No longer a question of "Will people die as a result of these changes?", but rather "How many people will die?" #VaccinesCauseAdults

I admit it. I'm biased. I'm biased towards science and expertise when it comes to medical advice. Things changed this week, so I had to speak up.

I am starting a new blog to focus on ways that science, medicine, and expertise can improve your health. My long form writing will be at fpfocus.wordpress.com and I will be microblogging here. #MedSky #FMSky Not much to see yet at the site, so stay tuned.
