Five public health facts RFK Jr doesn't want you to know: 1. Vaccines work and are safe. 2. Solid fats aren't health foods. 3. Random dead animals you find lying around are not safe to touch (or eat). 4. Methylene blue is a dye, not a miracle cure. 5. Measles is bad for you.

The #measles vaccine has saved an estimated 5 lives every second since 2000. 👉Prevent measles by getting vaccinated with two doses of the measles vaccine.

Something to remember this #AshWednesday. Our existence is fragile and fleeting. Do good things with the time you have.

RFK Jr. said in his Fox News OpEd that “Good nutrition remains a best defense against most chronic and infectious illnesses”. The best diet in the world will not prevent infection if you are unvaccinated and sharing air with someone who has measles.

I’ve been hacked over in the other place, which in one way is rather a blessing. The process of trying to sort it out is, however, exasperating. This tweet (which a friend screenshot and sent) did make me laugh though, so that’s something!

I want to point out something important about measles. When you search for images, white people with readily apparent rashes almost always come up. For people of color, the rash may be less red and harder to see. It can be purple, grey, or white in color, or it can appear as a darker brown rash.

Science is being decimated 🦠🧪 "The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is losing nearly 1,300 workers, or one-third of its staff, the Associated Press reported."
