A school-age child in Los Angeles has died of a rare complication from measles, years after being infected with the virus.

This is a sad reminder that even after a child recovers from measles, they are not yet out of the woods — which is why it’s so important to make sure every child is protected through vaccination.

This study confirms what we all saw - a surge in endemic respiratory viruses after COVID precautions lifted, and demonstrates the utility of immunoepidemiological surveillance… #IDSky www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Japan, single case report. A 42-year-old man died from suspected SARS-CoV-2 reactivation five months after mild COVID-19, following stem cell transplant for severe aplastic anemia. Immunosuppression likely triggered viral return and fatal pneumonia. www.cureus.com/articles/372...

I look at these results and ❓- how can we communicate it to the public? These measures are hard to implement bc the public dislikes them. How can we make vistors understand that it is their loved ones who are protected by universal 😷 and limiting # of 🏥visitors? #IDSky @emilymichelel.bsky.social

“We want to highlight the stories of Black prisoners that participated in this prison research in the 1950s onward and give them their due…they haven’t been properly acknowledged” That’s good, but also worth noting that the Nazis approvingly referenced this research at the Nuremberg Trials.

Vaccines have literally saved more than 150 million lives over the last 50 years and prevented much more morbidity but hold up guys somebody with a brain worm knows better

One paper with erroneous citations or incorrect conclusions is grounds for formal remediation in medical training and possible termination. Two is unconscionable. Can we please put an end to this? www.npr.org/2025/06/13/n...

If things continue the way they're going today, measles will be back soon in the US, and we will have more stories like this. www.voicesforvaccines.org/what-measles...

#episky The novel approach to estimating the impact of public health interventions described in my newly published study in the Journal of Public Health Policy, suggests that the deeply flawed laissez faire approach to COVID would have nearly doubled COVID deaths. 🧪 open.substack.com/pub/drbobmor...

I guess they’re not interested in tapping the ultra-lucrative infectious disease nerd market with this product, right @germhuntermd.bsky.social? I see this box and think white out chest rads, ruptured eyeballs and draining tracts in the skin. Eww #IDSky

Dear friends on the internet: “doing research” is not looking things up on the internet. Doing a literature search is the closest thing to what is often meant by this but even that is much more involved and requires access to journals and a lot of background knowledge to understand. #medsky

@altcdc.altgov.info I forgot to pack green to wear for public health on wednesday! 😥 but I have my green purse so I’m doing my best! Come say hello if you are at #SHEAspring2025

A study of masks and respirators confirms, yet again, that earloop KN95/KF94 masks perform similarly to surgical masks. Earloop masks should not be recommended as a substitute for proper headstrap N95 respirators—except for the rare wearer who passes a fit test in them.

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

Another child has unnecessarily died of measles. And RFKJr is going to attend the funeral. Sounds like “thoughts and prayers” to me. I can’t believe we’ve given up on infectious disease control too. #medsky #idsky #measles

Measles likely came from cows (via rinderpest) around the 6th century BCE. For 2,500 years, we didn’t evolve superhuman resistance—children just died. Real protection only came in the 1960s, with vaccines. Our superpower isn’t evolving into superhumans. It’s outthinking pathogens.
