"Viruses and bacteria that were under control are being set free on our most vulnerable. It may take 1 or 2 years for the tragic consequences to become clear, but this is like asking farmers in North Dakota to grow pineapples. It won't work and can't end well." www.medpagetoday.com/pediatrics/v...

“As it turns out, children are dying and in some cases in Louisiana from measles and pertussis and as a doc who saw people die from hepatitis A and hepatitis B of course I understand the importance of those vaccines. I don't want any child dying from something that's so preventable,” Cassidy said.

"Kennedy's decision will harm and kill children, like all of his anti-vaccination decisions will," virologist James Alwine, PhD, a member of the coordinating committee of Defend Public Health, said in a statement. @defendpublichealth.bsky.social www.medpagetoday.com/pediatrics/v...

Every accusation is a confession (or...intent): MAHA’s new Tuskegee experiment: the new quietly, with no process, approved clinical trial in Guinea-Bissau that will unnecessarily expose babies to hepatitis B. sciencebasedmedicine.org/every-accusa... via @sciencebasedmedicine.org @gorskon.bsky.social

A thing that serves me well: ALWAYS take very seriously anything @kkjetelina.bsky.social says; she's 1 of the most trusted epidemiologists If FDA thinks risks>benefits, she says, "transparency about their data & reasoning is essential. Closed-door analyses won’t cut it. Americans deserves better.”

Vaccination rates are plummeting across the country, as part of a larger, troubling trend of growing vaccine hesitancy that is fueling a resurgence of preventable diseases, an NBC News and Stanford University investigation found.

Moves to remove vaccine protections in Florida could affect kids and families everywhere. Take action today!

Dr. Hoeg FDA re language: agreed with Dr. Levi that not protecting young babies from Hepatitis B, that causes liver disease and cancer, is a positive development. Burden of proof: don't know benefits outweigh harms? (experts disagree).

Dr. Hibbeln - language saying first dose at two month - no science presented or discussed about the issue of before or after two months of age. Unconscionable.

Dr. Levi at least admits he does not know the full impact of vaccines, but clearly imagines that because babies are not fully developed they're bad for them. Note that experts do understand vaccines and babies' developments, even if it's not Dr. Levi's areas.

Dr. Levi alleges assumption is that vaccines are risk free. That's not true; the experts that made the decision rejected by the non-expert #ACIP looked at actual risk, not imaginary ones. This should be a real risk/benefit balance, which wasn't done here.

ACIP day two (Video here): www.youtube.com/live/kUgXRUp... Note: ACIP changed the language again now, on the floor, compared to the site. SCDM for negative, and they still recommend - which they do not have authority - blood draws for subsequent doses. All kinds of bad.

Following #ACIP - apparently, ACIP combined the immunization schedule and hepatitis B workgroups - a change not reflected in the ACIP workgroup list, and it was chaired by Dr. Vicki Pebsworth, a director in an anti-vaccine organization, the National Vaccine Information Center.

Dr. Sandra Fryhofer from the AMA emphatically points out the awful consequences of HepB, and says “we have a duty to protect these little babies”. She also correctly points out that the U.S. healthcare system is not equipped to test everyone who comes into contact with infants for HepB.

Jason Goldman- calling out the lack of credentials and experience of this committee

This is the self-proclaimed CDC critic who is currently presenting. He is not a scientist or doctor. His only credentials for presenting at ACIP is being crazy enough to hang with RFK. www.ms.now/news/rfk-jr-...

This is why ensuring families have access to the HepB birth dose is essential and spreading falsehoods to scare families away from this vaccine is so dangerous.

Thank you to the ACIP liaisons for standing up for American's health! We appreciate you!!

Protect the people you love. Your flu vaccination not only protects you, it also protects infants, grandparents, and those with chronic conditions. #FightFlu #NIVW

🧵 3/3 Here is an alternative website you can use to locate vaccines vaccinefinder.org

🧵 1/3 Anyone else notice that Vaccines.gov the federal vaccine locator is just… broken? And honestly, would any of us be shocked if it never comes back, given that HHS took it over from CDC this summer? www.notus.org/health-scien...

The CDC has turned off its vaccine search tool. The vaccines.gov site now gives an error when you enter a valid zip code. They also removed text saying “Vaccines can help you stay healthy” and added a banner saying the site is being updated.

“Families deserve leaders who rely on evidence—not ideology—to keep children safe. Abraham’s record shows a consistent pattern of decisions that limit families’ access to accurate information and undermine their ability to protect their health.”

RFK Jr forced the #CDC to claim that #vaccines cause #autism on the CDC website. Large peer-reviewed studies that include millions of children refute this anti-vaxxer claim. www.skepticalraptor.com/skepticalrap...

The deadline to submit comment to the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee is quickly approaching. Your pro-vaccine comments on the public record matter, whether you’re an expert or a concerned member of the public. Please take a moment to submit your comment now and encourage others to do the same!

Do you hate the new Vaccines and Autism webpage revisions as much as we do? Yes? Great. Some action items: 1. Submit your concerns through CDC INFO: www.cdc.gov/cdc-info/for... 2. (if not a fed employee) Consider adding "vaccines do NOT cause autism" to your signature line 😈

Tennessee Families for Vaccines Statement: CDC Misleads the Public with New Autism & Vaccines Webpage www.tnfamiliesforvaccines.org/autism-vacci...

CDC has changed their website to suggest there is a link between vaccines and autism. There is an upcoming meeting that will discuss changes to the childhood vaccine schedule that could impact vaccine access. What can you do? Help flood the record with pro-vaccine, pro-science comments! 👇

important to get widespread public opposition on the record with public comment

CDC’s misinformation about vaccines, autism, and science cannot go unchallenged. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) is accepting comments ahead of their next meeting—this is our chance to set the record straight. Submit your comment today: familiesforvaccines.org/acipdec25

HEADS UP: CDC website now officially asserts that vaccines may cause autism.“Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities.” Also says the “vaccines do not cause autism” header remains b/c of an agreement with Cassidy.

"By late January 2025, two babies had died [of pertussis] in Louisiana. But the Louisiana Department of Health waited two months to send out a social media post suggesting people talk to their doctors about getting vaccinated." www.npr.org/sections/sho...

I am so happy there is now an RSV vaccine. I would have given anything for this vaccine when I was pregnant with the kids. I love science.

“We expect unsound public health policy without rationale or evidence from the likes of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has no background in medicine. But it’s disappointing coming from a longtime Louisiana physician who’s taken an oath to act for the benefit of the sick and do no harm.“

“What was a natural disaster with COVID-19 has been replaced by the human-made disaster of the dismantling of public health.” - @drdemetre.bsky.social at the National Conference of Immunization Coalitions and Partnerships hosted by @vaccinatein.bsky.social

“Children who use VFC have been deprived the updated vaccine for weeks while we have been waiting for a signature,” Dr. Demetre Daskalakis.

Real world data is in: babies given nirsevimab were 80% less likely to be hospitalized with RSV. ❤️ Protection matters most in those first fragile months. 🌿 #RootedInProtection 🔗 doi.org/10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2025.0380
