It’s so dishonest and reckless to reduce childhood vaccines because of Denmark. The US has a similar schedule to Canada, Britain, Australia and Germany. Denmark, a small country with strong universal healthcare, is the outlier. And even Denmark themselves thinks that this is a bad idea.

We don’t have much else right now about this besides this….

This is a very well researched and written piece. Check it out and share please. Thanks @mikestobbe.bsky.social!

Nearly 5 million flu illnesses reported so far nationally, latest CDC data shows abcnews.go.com/Health/5-mil...

“...part of DHHS’s consistent efforts to make vaccines unavailable to the American people. They cherry-picked Denmark because they administer the fewest vaccines of any Western country." www.cnn.com/2025/12/18/h...

This is known as medical colonialism. Let’s be clear this was not a CDC career scientist or staff decision. This is a direct result of RFK Jr and his political appointees.

This is another one of RFK Jr’s attempts to shuffle his clowns around the CDC circus he created.

We needed to see this coming from someone else. Thanks @elizabethjacobs.bsky.social for reminding people who is responsible for this mess.

Check out @elizabethjacobs.bsky.social full thread on this. This is medical colonialism! Let’s call it what it is. Also ask why is a study not happening in the USA?

Like many others, I’ve been trying to figure out how the team that RFK Jr. just funded to do a randomized, controlled trial of HepB vaccine in Guinea-Bissau is going to get ethics approval. In this thread, I share what I think they will do to alleviate ethical concerns. bsky.app/profile/eliz...

Reminder‼️ALL ByHeart Whole Nutrition Infant Formula is currently recalled due to an outbreak of infant botulism. As of Dec 12, Walmart, Target, Kroger, and Albertsons were still stocking this formula. Do not buy it. www.reuters.com/legal/litiga...

Vaccine policy in U.S. has been trampled. CDC’s ACIP was dismantled & replaced by political interference & anti-vaccine rhetoric. When science is sidelined, our children pay the price. Public health decisions & policy must be driven by data, NOT ideology, AND must be independent and evidence-based.

New #CDC data confirm what science has shown all along: COVID-19 vaccines protect children from severe illness, hospitalization, & death. Findings in last week’s #MMWR reinforce vaccination keeps kids safe.

1/ Happy Tuesday! #Respiratoryseason is in full swing, and today we're talking all things infectious disease. Here’s what you need to know about flu, Covid-19, and measles as winter ramps up 👇

Add this to our number of sad days this year. 😭 It doesn’t have to be this way. Vaccines save lives. Vaccines can decrease the severity of illness. Please help us make this stop!🛑

Fun times! This is more of the same for 2025.

Cooler heads are prevailing, maybe all is not lost? RFK Jr needs to be fired from HHS Sec job, NOW! wlos.com/news/nation-...

We need everyone do better. Recalled baby formula should not be on the shelves. ByHeart infant formula has a full recall due to causing infant botulism.

"In less than a year, RFK Jr, who has made baseless claims about the dangers posed by vaccines for decades, turned the CDC, once considered the global “gold standard” of public health agencies, into... “a zombie organization.” Now, we are sad again @thehill.com. thehill.com/opinion/heal...

For real dude? "Retsef Levi, one of the advisers, has some choice words for the critics: They’re conflicted. They’re misleading the public. They’re party to gross, even criminal negligence, he says." (quote from @politico.com article)

Yay for Dr Monarez and @drdebhoury.bsky.social. Congrats to them and CA. This is a reminder that many illegally fired CDC staff are still searching for jobs.

Violence is preventable. Why do we have to keep saying this? Thoughts and prayers are not enough. We can and must do better for our children. The next generation depends on us.

This is horrifying.

It sucks we had to do this. We have built some amazing networks like this one and our other #altgov colleagues. We are stronger together. We are coordinating to protect the constitution and all Americans.

Is this foreshadowing what is coming next? Is Children’s Health Defense determining what RFK Jr’s HHS will do next?

It doesn’t have to be this way. This is what happens when vaccination rates drop. If you traveled to theses areas recently, please watch for signs of measles. Talk to a doctor as needed. If you have plans to travel to these areas, please protect yourself and family. Vaccines save lives.

We have been saying this a a few weeks or months. We are in a time warp. Anyway, we are not layered. We have consulted with a few lawyers and this new CDC policy, if fully enacted, would violate federal disability law.

This cartoon sums up what we have been saying about RFK Jr for months.

Today is the 68th anniversary of the creation of the DOJ Civil Rights Division, and over 200 recent employees have shared an open letter decrying the near-destruction of the division’s mission and expressing the hope to one day rebuild it.

Thanks @politico.com for revealing chaos inside CDC, staff firings, shattered windows after a shooting, & hostile leadership takeover. Politico revealed a deeply troubling picture inside CDC. Under RFK Jr hundreds of CDC workers have been fired, reinstated, & left reeling from constant chaos. 1/2

Dismantling of public health! RFK Jr's anti-vaccine advisers voted to end decades-long recommendation that all newborns get a hepatitis B shot at birth. Instead, vaccination would be limited to infants of mothers with virus or unknown status; others would rely on shared decision-making with doctors.

RFK Jr.’s leadership has thrown CDC into chaos: experts fired, vaccine-policy panels replaced, scientific work halted, & staff demoralized. CDC is now politically driven and weakened, raising fears about future public-health response capacity.

Let's be clear it is NEVER ok to deadname anyone. Admiral Rachel Levine is an amazing human. She should be thanked and appreciated for her service. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Wore green for @altcdc.altgov.info on @cnn.com- a few comments I made- have Secretary, CDC political leaders testify about vaccine access and CDC oversight; scientific priorities should be led by careers not a realtor and aviation attorney; need to get accurate advice from AAP and other orgs now

These bodega cats bring us joy!🤩

“What we have witnessed at the CDC is not reform. It is the hollowing out of an institution Americans rely on in every emergency” @drdebhoury.bsky.social time.com/7338714/dr-d...

👏👏👏👏👏

RFK Jr's ACIP voted to end universal vaccine for Hepatitis B birth-dose. Babies of Hep B-negative mothers would now use shared decision-making, with the first dose allowed at 2 months. Physicians and public health professionals warn this may reduce protection and add confusion.

What’s all the hype! Why are public health professionals, scientists, and physicians so focused on RFK Jr’s ACIP meeting? Gift article.

We told you about this guy a month or so ago. Well, media is just picking up this story. Here is a piece about a guy, not a physician or a scientist or a public health professional, just a guy, Mark Blaxill. He is in a leadership position at CDC and you all should be scared.

Early in this ACIP meeting, Vicky Pebsworth blamed gay men, promiscuous women, urban residents, and immigrants for spreading HBV in the U.S. Then Evelyn Griffin said, out loud, that “illegal immigrants” are to blame. This committee should be DISBANDED and exiled to science Siberia.

RFK Jr’s ACIP meeting today was a train wreck! We will try to post @drdebhoury.bsky.social’s spot once it is available online.

Meet Sam Beyda, the newest CDC political appointee. He’s the Deputy Chief of Staff, freshly graduated from college and is currently living at the CDC. Ruining public health one shower at a time. 1/2 🧵 #CDC #HHS #PublicHealth #DOGE #RFKJr
