Ernstig zieke en gewonde kinderen uit Gaza liggen in overvolle ziekenhuizen, zonder dat er zorg voor is. Andere landen schieten te hulp, Nederland doet niets. Al 50.000 mensen tekenden de petitie om dit te veranderen. In één dag. Teken ook en stuur door! groenlinkspvda.nl/petitie/ziek...

Arigato gozaimasu to my Vaccine co-EICs Florian & Ivan, local chair Ken, & journal lead @vaccinology.bsky.social for setting records at #19vaccinecongress. Hard times ahead, but this community of friends, colleagues, & great science fills my heart ❤️ See you at #20vaccinecongress in Seville, Spain!

My first year as co-EIC of Vaccine also means my first year co-chairing the #19VaccineCongress with Florian Krammer & Ivan Hung, w/ local chair Ken Ishii. Vaccination has saved hundreds of millions of lives worldwide, but it now faces a grave threat from my home country.

We need an HHS Secretary who respects science and does not make policy based on conspiracy theories. Vaccines are safe and effective. Kennedy is threatening the health of our kids and all Americans. He must resign.

I am 76 & I have had most of these vaccinations at one time or another. Also vaccinations against Covid, Tetanus, plus Cholera & Yellow Fever when travelling in foreign countries. These prevented me catching horrible diseases & dying a gruesome death. They did not harm me, they protected me!

"Land snakt naar centrumrechts beleid," aldus #Yesilgöz. Absoluut niet, NL snakt naar intelligente communicatieve bestuurders met 'n hoge mate van medemenselijkheid, (toekomst)visie, 'n groot hart, wetenschappijk inzicht en humor. Precies die eigenschappen tref je niet aan bij rechtse klapharken.

The week beginning Aug 4 was the most dangerous, tragic week of RFK Jr’s tenure yet. A Lancet Editorial outlines why—unpacking a movement that seeks to discredit mainstream medicine and portray institutions and experts as enemies, not partners. tinyurl.com/4zppw6ay

Humanitarians are a lot of things: committed, resilient, determined. But they should never be a target.

We just published an excellent commentary in Vaccine by @gavinyamey.bsky.social & Chris Beyrer breaking down how the current regime is laying waste to US vaccination programs & what we can do about it: ✅Congress must withdraw support for RFK Jr ✅Speak up...loudly ✅Study anti-vax movements ✅VOTE

This #WorldRefugeeDay: Choose empathy. Choose solidarity. Choose action.

Jay, please stop gaslighting early career researchers.

Ian Morgan is right and also very brave to speak up for what is right at great risk to his own career. Our early career colleagues are the future of American science. Hold this administration accountable.

Hey, are you still with us? In the face of ongoing wars, humanitarian crises and displacement, the world must not look away. Choose empathy over apathy. Choose solidarity with refugees. #WorldRefugeeDay

If you don’t get your child vaccinated against #measles, it can put them at a high risk of this serious infection, which can lead to severe complications or even death. Make sure your child’s measles vaccination is up to date.

Congratulations Australia! The people have crushed the fascists. The Labor party’s PM Anthony Albanese has secured a second term in office in an election wipeout. The push back against the Trump / Putin aligned global regressive movement continues strong.

So proud of Australia!

More than 50,000 people in Gaza are dead. 114,000 have been wounded — two-thirds of whom are women & children. The entire infrastructure has been destroyed. Much of that devastation has been done with bombs that the U.S. supplied to the Netanyahu war machine. We are complicit.

Why are measles cases surging? "The reason for all of those [measles] outbreaks is because coverage of vaccine has dropped below 95%." Listen to Professor Sir Andrew Pollard (@ajpollard1.bsky.social ) on The Naked Scientists podcast. www.thenakedscientists.com/podcasts/nak...

We need a reminder of what the Pre-vaccine era was like www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

this stuff is happening across the country and even more intensively downstream of the veterans admin but it's happening in so many places at once and without any public notification that it's still only barely emerging in the news

"We won't kidnap you and throw you in a cage for a month" is going to be such a slam dunk tourism marketing campaign for countries that don't kidnap random tourists and throw them in a cage for a month
