What's the story with vaccine studies and placebo? Glad you asked!

Combination vaccines are recommended by health authorities worldwide to reduce the number of jabs given to children while still offering protection from preventable diseases. factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com....

“The Trump administration has moved to end funding for HIV vaccine research, where the cuts will shutter two major HIV vaccine research efforts that were first funded by the NIH in 2012 at the Duke Human Vaccine Institute and the Scripps Research Institute." www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-a...

“It’s why every time an incremental vaccine restriction results in a public shrug, he feels emboldened to go a bit further.” This is important. First he takes away something people don’t care much about—Covid boosters—so that later it seems more normal when he takes away polio vaccines.

"The false citations in the MAHA Commission report are an example of how even pieces of Kennedy's health care agenda with broader appeal are being carried out 'in a way that is unserious,' said Chris Meekins, a managing dir. at Raymond James and health official in the 1st Trump administration." 🛟😷

Once viewed as the path out of the pandemic, mRNA vaccines are now being vilified — & not just by fringe figures. The attack on this important platform could render the US far more vulnerable in the next pandemic & trailing China in the field of scientific advances. www.statnews.com/2025/06/02/m...

Full vaccination against COVID-19 protects recipients from serious cardiovascular disease linked to COVID-19, according to a new study in the European Heart Journal. www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/stu....

Our partners @ModernMedicaid are urging all U.S. Representatives to oppose devastating funding cuts to Medicaid and rejct provisions that would lead to historic coverage loss. Read their latest letter here: bit.ly/3Zu4tPU #MedicaidMatters

We are at a point where such a tracker is practical. None of this is normal or okay.

#Science is the eventual cure for cancer, diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer’s and almost every other disease. Trump’s MAGA & RFK Jr’s MAHA doesn’t want you and your family to have that cure.

These people really want kids sick. Hepatitis B is not just a “sexually transmitted and IV drug user disease” like Means claims here. If she had ever completed medical training she might know that up to 40% of HepB infections are actually acquired in childhood & kill thousands of Americans per year.

“In 6 months, 2 babies in Louisiana have died of pertussis, the disease commonly known as whooping cough. Washington state also announced its 1st confirmed death from pertussis in more than a decade. Idaho and South Dakota each reported deaths this year www.cnn.com/2025/04/14/h...

“For the first time since Robert F. Kennedy Jr. took charge of the HHS, vaccine advisers to the CDC are meeting publicly to discuss the nation's vaccine policies." www.npr.org/sections/sho...

I, a pediatrician that has never received a dime for vaccinating children, got MMR today. My children will be receiving HPV vaccines (as well as the full immunization schedule) as soon as they’re eligible. Any good pediatrician will tell you the same story about what they do for their families.

🚨This is dangerous. RFK Jr. canceled the FDA’s VRBPAC meeting—the committee that selects flu strains for the annual vaccine. WHO makes recommendations, but without US participation, we lose critical expertise. I worked at WHO & know how vital these meetings are. Delays = shortages = lives at risk.

Thanks to vaccines, more children grow up to adulthood than at any time in human history. The U.S. has helped build and sustain the global health programs that made this possible. We can't stop now. Visit shotatlife.org/petition to raise your voice for #HealthForAll.

Measles is between 2 and 10 times more contagious than COVID. This is not going to end well and will be a darkly appropriate backdrop for the absurd installation of RFK Jr as HHS Secretary. www.independent.co.uk/news/health/...

The @shotatlife.bsky.social Keynote address by @rameshferris.bsky.social polio survivor shared 2024 progress in eradicating polio and explains the vital need to continue efforts to #EndPolioNow. #vaccinesforall

We have had highly effective vaccines against measles since 1963. That is 62 years! Allowing a measles outbreak to spread unchecked as though this is a new and unknown infection is a choice. A cruel and morally bankrupt choice that harms innocent children. #Measles #Texas

We’re going to need more n95s.

Typically, in a #measles outbreak, the CDC would issue a Health Advisory Notice to inform the public & guide protective measures. But the current political climate has muted their response. Without clear, timely information, the measles outbreak in Texas risks spreading within the state & to others.

This is a 5 alarm fire. For many reasons, but esp because HHS may pull vaccines (even temporary is an issue) by requiring removal of certain ingredients or banning certain production processes. We are about to lose access to life-saving medications. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

One of the most unique—and most dangerous—features of measles is its ability to reset the immune systems of infected patients. During the acute phase of infection, measles induces immune suppression through a process called immune amnesia. TLDR; Patients lose immunity hx asm.org/articles/201....

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 You can keep your kids healthy by protecting them against vaccine-preventable diseases. Tweens need shots to protect against meningitis, HPV, tetanus/diphtheria, the flu, and COVID. Contact your healthcare provider to find out what vaccines they need to grow and thrive.

This is what Trump’s cruelty and chaos has unleashed.

We're running out of time to stop RFK Jr.'s nomination: 📞Call your Senators 📝Submit a written comment to the Finance Committee 📧Send an email to your Senators asking them to oppose RFK Jr.’s confirmation to Health & Human Services. www.safecommunitiescoalition.org/rfkaction

Nurses have a dire warning for Legislators: Do not confirm RFK Jr. to HHS. He lacks any health care background, education, or budgetary experience. Don’t be misled by his promise to “Make America Healthy Again;” his proposed policies risk doing the exact opposite. www.cleveland.com/opinion/2024...

The CDC and World Health Organization said there was a 20% increase in global measles cases last year, driven by decreases in vaccination. Data showed about 107,500 deaths, mostly in young children, which the agencies called "unacceptable" from a preventable disease. www.cdc.gov/media/releas...
