The evidence is clear and overwhelming. Vaccines do not cause autism. Great resource explaining the science from @childrensphila.bsky.social

This package from @sciam.bsky.social illustrates why vaccines against RSV are important for older adults, pregnant women and anyone who is immunocompromised, like heart transplant recipient Steven Weitzen. “There's no vaccine I haven’t received,” he says. www.scientificamerican.com/report/innov...

No child should die from preventable diseases. Yet more than 14 million infants did not receive a single vaccine last year, leaving them at risk of preventable, severe illnesses and death. 👉https://www.gavi.org/vaccineswork/why-vaccines-matter-children

the best way to defend vaccine access is to join together! so many great orgs here. thank you @lafamilies4vax.bsky.social for compiling. please share folks! on and off bluesky :)

Did you know that we are part of a growing Families for Vaccines grassroots network of vaccine advocates around the country? Check out our starter pack! We’ll add to it as more of our chapters join us here on Bluesky, so stay tuned!

“Senator Cassidy, history will remember whether you protected the health of our people or stood silent as Americans suffered…I am doing all I can to give my children the future they deserve. Let’s “work on it” together.”

RFK Jr.’s vaccine advisory committee isn’t making science-based decisions. This is what happens when a political appointee hijacks the process. With RFK Jr. in charge of HHS, this chaos will only get worse. Contact your members of Congress NOW & tell them it’s time to remove Kennedy from office.

Please sign and share: Help get 1,000 signatures on this petition to the ACIP to protect vaccine access! They meet this week, please don’t delay! @voices4vaccines.bsky.social

“There’s a reason certain life-threatening diseases like polio, measles and whooping cough were essentially eradicated, public health experts say: vaccine mandates for schoolchildren.” Interview with Dr. Charles Stoecker of Tulane University @tulaneu.bsky.social @tulanesphtm.bsky.social

Reminder: the administration is working to deny people vaccines. I wonder what the antivaccine activists who pretended it was about choice have to say to that. arstechnica.com/health/2025/...

AAFP urges everyone to stay up to date on fall vaccines—COVID-19, flu, and RSV—to protect families and communities. Vaccines save lives, and together we can keep it that way. #VaccinesWork #PublicHealth #VaccinesSaveLives #USAnotRFK

"Give the patients power," Cassidy said. "Why not do that?"

“If Cassidy really believes in the work he did before entering politics, if he really meant everything he’s said about the safety and immense importance of vaccines to keep Americans from dying of preventable disease, he needs to do more than talk. It’s time for him to act.”

Louisiana, having trouble getting an updated COVID vaccine? Great call to action here 👇 open.substack.com/pub/robertma...

I’ve heard from a couple of messaging strategists now that people shouldn’t post so much about COVID19 vaccines because it’s “divisive”. I am here to say that I do not give a damn what is popular. I will never ignore scientific evidence for the sake of expediency, and neither should anyone else.

if you only share one of my posts today, let it be this one

Thank you @acepnation.bsky.social for standing with us. My time in the emergency department has shaped my commitment to ensuring the health of our communities. www.emergencyphysicians.org/press-releas...

Through organizations like The Task Force Global Health, America has been at the forefront of getting vaccines to kids worldwide. That work has saved millions of lives, and is something to be proud of. #NIAM2025

The American Academy of Pediatrics joined fellow medical leaders in a new op-ed in @statnews.com with a clear, urgent message: Vaccines work—and they save lives. www.statnews.com/2025/06/26/v...

(1/2) The US withdrawal from funding the international vaccine agency, Gavi, will directly lead to tens of thousands, perhaps millions, of innocent deaths. Killing children is not protecting them. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/25/h...

The medical societies agree that vaccines save lives and need to be made accessible.

Evidence matters, and this is why it is so crucial to consult experts. Thank you, Dr. McAlpine!

CDC's Dr. Sarah Meyer: across all safety studies, no evidence of any increased risks of COVID-19 vaccination in pregnancy for the pregnant patient or the newborn. #ACIP

I don't even know that "farce" adequately describes this. I can't believe what's become of ACIP.

Hepatitis B can be passed from parent to baby at birth - and when that happens, the consequences can be deadly. It is unscientific and dangerous to intentionally ignore the success of U.S. vaccination programs or argue that the U.S. should not vaccinate babies for hepatitis B at birth.

Today's ACIP meeting is usually a time where experts come together to inform the future of vaccines. That is not what today will be. That is not what we can stand behind. The AAP will continue to recommend its own childhood vaccine schedule -- just as we have since the 1930s

Too many vaccines in the first year?Your child is 44% more likely to survive to one year if they are vaccinated than if they are unvaccinated.

1/ THREAD: ACIP, Then and Now What has changed with the panel that guides vaccine recommendations in the U.S.

Final ACIP agenda, followed by links to today’s livestream: www.cdc.gov/acip/downloa...

🚨🚨🚨 Please add a public comment ASAP for the June ACIP meeting: www.regulations.gov/document/CDC... ‼️DEADLINE IS FRIDAY‼️ The agenda is "tentative", so only general comments or responses to changes below 👇 Please tweak so each comment is considered unique!

📞 Call your elected officials. Demand oversight and accountability. Demand RFK Jr. resign or be fired. 📣 Speak out on social media. Raise awareness in your community. 👉 Get involved locally by joining or supporting vaccine advocacy organizations like SAFE. 🔗safecommunitiescoalition.org/actnow

RFK Jr. calls for trust while gutting the process that makes it possible—transparent, science-based decision-making. It’s time for every parent, provider, and public health advocate to speak up. 🔗safecommunitiescoalition.org/actnow

👉 Take action now to defend access to vaccines: safecommunitiescoalition.org/actnow RFK Jr. fired all members of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. Sowing confusion and creating distrust in vaccines and public health. Vaccine policy should be based on evidence, not extremism.

Two quick actions to take TODAY to protect public health in Louisiana: 1. Support HR314 by Representative Lyons. This legislation requests that the Louisiana Department of Health provide access to vaccines and information on the diseases they prevent to areas of need.

Please contact your State Senator now and tell them to support an amendment to add healthcare provider groups to Rep. Owen's HB690 before the Senate considers it for final passage TODAY, Sunday, June 8. www.lafamiliesforvaccines.org/amend-hb690
