Vaccine Advances and the Prism of History www.nytimes.com/2026/03/24/o... Grandparents have stories to tell about life before vaccines: www.grandparentsforvaccines.org

As a retired educator, I know kids who miss school miss out on learning. Unvaccinated kids exposed to measles must quarantine for 21 days. That’s a lot of time out of school, and for their parents, missed work. I joined www.grandparentsforvaccines.org to help. www.cincinnati.com/story/news/e...

The Bulwark’s interview with Therese, a grandmother, whose sister’s lifelong intellectual disabilities resulted from measles. MMR vaccine not only prevents disease; it prevents lifelong irrevocable complications. www.thebulwark.com/p/just-measl... #measles #vaccineswork #grandparentsforvaccines

"She’s hearing from people sick with the virus: 'A number of them clearly said if they had known, they would have vaccinated themselves and their children against measles, but they didn’t realize how bad it was.'" What happens when we downplay disease. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

2025 measles resurgence carries estimated $244 million price tag Between 1994 and 2023, measles vaccination prevented an estimated 85,000 deaths in the US. ow.ly/MHFW50YmIB9

There is power in sharing our stories. Help ensure that America’s grandchildren grow up free from vaccine-preventable diseases by joining the volunteer-led movement Grandparents for Vaccines. Find us at grandparentsforvaccines.com

Protecting public health does not mean erasing individual rights. It means recognizing that some choices carry consequences beyond ourselves. Infants cannot choose to be vaccinated yet. They rely on us to create a protective barrier around them. That is not government overreach-it is community care.

The measles outbreak in South Carolina now stands at 664 cases, basically doubling in a week, and it's spread to several other states. The outbreak first began in Texas a year ago this week - which means the U.S. is going to lose its elimination status. My latest: www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

I've watched thousands of videos from the Jan. 6 riot as part of NPR's reporting and archive project on that day. Here are some of the lesser known videos that have really stuck with me. 🧵

“This irresponsible and purposely misleading guidance will lead to more hepatitis B infections in infants and children.” Read our full statement by AAP President Dr. Susan J. Kressly: www.aap.org/en/news-room...

Kennedy's zombie ACIP panel just voted to restrict hepatitis B vaccine for newborns. Experts say it will harm children for no reason. www.ms.now/news/rfk-cdc... ACIP member Dr. Cody Meissner: "'Do no harm' is a moral imperative. We are doing harm by changing this wording. And I vote no."

Dr. Flor Muñoz and others talk about the safety and effectiveness of childhood vaccines. #Vaccines

This is the most important op-ed you'll read this week. The Trump administration is about to get rid of the birth-dose of hepatitis B vaccine. That is a deadly choice for many families. @helenouyang.bsky.social tells her story. Now call your member of Congress. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/01/o...

They did this in Louisiana and currently have their worst pertussis outbreak in 35 years. Ridiculous.

This is fucking terrifying. In one meeting acip could shatter access to multiple vaccines by attacking adjuvants, childhood vaccines schedule and hepatitis B

Vaccines offer a pathway to immunity—without the suffering. They’re carefully designed to activate your immune system in a controlled way. Author: Aimee Pugh-Bernard, PhD

Hey look👀 Getting a COVID vaccine is safer for kids when compared to getting a COVID infection Has your family gotten their COVID booster yet?

Please follow @gparents4vaccines.bsky.social to keep up to date with our all volunteer organization working to keep our grandkids safe and healthy!

"If we don’t protect our healthcare workers, who will care for those stricken with illness?" @drjudystone.bsky.social & Judith Feinberg urge ACIP to endorse COVID vaccines for health facility workers under 65, and health facilities to require employee vaccination. www.statnews.com/2025/10/30/c...

Here is the advice I’d give you as a grandparent: We love you and our grandkids so much. That’s why we’re saying these things. We know what these childhood diseases look like and feel like. We saw our brothers, sisters, cousins and classmates suffer.

Eighty-five percent of parents said they trust their child’s pediatrician on vaccine information — a level of confidence that cuts across political divides, including among MAGA Republicans, according to a Washington Post-KFF poll.

“A study, published on Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine, showed that last season’s 2024–2025 mRNA COVID vaccines reduced people’s risk of emergency department visits by 29%, their risk of hospitalizations by 39% & their risk of death by 64%” Benefits were seen even if 0 risk factors

We can't rely on the CDC for evidence-based information about vaccines anymore. It's sad and frustrating, but that's where we are. So here are a ton of other resources where you can go instead. healthjournalism.org/blog/2025/10...

If you’re an older adult, you have a story to tell about a time before routine vaccinations for contagious childhood diseases. Please share your stories with the young adults in your life who have never seen these diseases. www.grandparentsforvaccines.com open.substack.com/pub/theunbia...

RFK Jr. to the Senate & @wyden.senate.gov: “Scientists and doctors are supporting me all across the country…I’ll put my mailbag against your mailbag any day” Let’s prove him wrong Join @defendpublichealth.bsky.social's postcard campaign. Stand for truth, not RFK #VaccineTrust #PublicHealth #MedSky

Everyone in public health, healthcare and biomedical research has been screaming this for months. It’s time for RFK Jr to go. Everyone, please, please get on the phone to your members of Congress. Call them every day. This man is that dangerous.

Now, more than ever, media literacy matters.

For the data nerds out there, here's a chart of the largest coordinated protests in U.S. history from my 2018 book HOW TO READ A PROTEST Today's "Hands Off" protests, in 1000+ locations around the country, rank as one of the very largest decentralized days of protests EVER.

The California Department of Health published new indoor air quality guidance for schools. It’s a start. Let’s get this into building codes nationwide. Our kids and school staff deserve healthy schools. www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID...
