Germany sharply rejects RFK Jr.'s claims that it prosecutes doctors for vaccine exemptions apnews.com/article/germ...

South Carolina has reported 99 new measles cases in the past 3 days. Meanwhile RFK Jr. is “building a case” to argue that the U.S. shouldn’t lose its measles elimination status. But we’ve lost it and hell of a lot more. He only cares about optics. Reality need not apply.

New from @helenbranswell.bsky.social with a chart by me: the United States is now a global outlier when it comes to vaccines www.statnews.com/2026/01/09/c...

CDC's New Childhood Vaccine Guidance Gets Pushback From West Coast States kffhealthnews.org/morning-brea...

Experts don’t disagree about vaccines. Yes, every now and then a bad egg is produced. But if you’re a scientist you know how hard it is to gain consensus on ANYTHING, and vaccines are one area where we have, overwhelmingly. Unfortunately the US has hatched the bad eggs and then crowned them.

Confusion surrounds CDC’s ‘shared clinical decision-making’ paradigm for childhood vaccines www.cidrap.umn.edu/childhood-va... 'One in five people (22%) believe shared decision-making means that “taking the vaccine may not be a good idea for everyone but would benefit some.” ' 😕

As vaccine rates drop: "* At least 37 confirmed tetanus cases were reported in the United States in 2025, marking the highest annual case count in over a decade and exceeding the 32 cases documented in 2024." beaconbio.org/en/report/?r...

Once again, I implore media outlets to stop saying these are CDC decisions. These are changes being made unilaterally by RFK Jr. against the expert advice of CDC scientists. I note that RFK Jr. no longer recommends flu vaccine for kids in the midst of a horrible influenza year.

CMS letter states that it will stop requiring states to report childhood vaccination levels www.cidrap.umn.edu/childhood-va... Tracking childhood immunization data is important and this will make it harder to identify gaps and inequities.

Republicans voted to install a documented anti-science, anti-vaccine lawyer as head of HHS. Republicans sit by as he destroys public health and makes decisions that are already killing infants and will only kill more. All of what is about to happen is preventable. Remember who did this.

“They’re going to bring back suffering and death,” said Dr. Sean O’Leary, chair of the infectious disease committee for the @ameracadpeds.bsky.social American Academy of Pediatrics. “I don’t say that with any hyperbole, that’s exactly what’s going to happen.” www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/h...

The simplistic claims by the anti-vaccine cadre at HHS misrepresents the true comparison of vaccines between the U.S. and Denmark and ignores the real differences between the countries. It's deceptive. Dr. @jakescottmd.bsky.social has the details and receipts. substack.com/inbox/post/1...

Correct. They do not care about the harm they will cause in Guinea-Bissau and they are preying on infants in this country because they especially do not care about Black children.

At a minimum, Prasad and Makary should lose their licenses for blatantly lying to the public about kids dying from the COVID19 vaccine, when the actual investigation found that zero deaths were certain to have been caused by vaccination. Despicable, egregious, murderous behavior. Link below.

While you may feel you can handle illness because you are young and healthy, many of those around you, especially the youngest and oldest in your community, may not. Take care of yourself AND those around you this year - get vaccinated before you gather to celebrate ♥️

One of the most disturbing things about the U.S. government getting themselves into the anti-vaccine game is that it is a time-release poison pill. It will take a few years before the worst of the harm is visible to enough people that they will truly understand what has been done to them.

Please do not take medical advice from this administration. Listen to the actual experts.

Hoeg: What if we had like, a center. A center where scientists worked. And at this center they study diseases and how to control them. We could call it…

Attorney Aaron Siri’s presentation at ACIP is, in my opinion, a direct case of corruption. He is a close ally of RFK Jr., whose law firm also profits from suing various entities about vaccines. He was RFK Jr.’s personal lawyer. And he has sued to take polio vaccine off the market

The country's biggest anti-vaccine lawyer, the guy behind weakened school mandates in Mississippi and West Virginia, who pulls in millions a year harassing the CDC on behalf of Del Bigtree's anti-vaxx org is ... presenting at ACIP. This panel is anti-vaccine theater. It's a cruel joke.

Attorney Siri who is currently suing HHS is not presenting science. He is discussing his strategy for his lawsuits.

Milhoan is making the literally incredible claim that their proposal will solve the problem of testing for HBV because of their recommendation that insurance must cover it. This is delusional and again highlights his lack of foundational public health knowledge.

'A vote to weaken the Hep B birth dose, is the first time in my 21 years as liaison w/ ACIP, that ACIP is voting on a policy that based on all the credible evidence, it will actually put children at higher risk, rather than lower risk of disease & death. ~Dr. Amy Middleman

A CDC scientist is making the VERY GERMANE point that the “peer countries” of the U.S. are completely different because they have nice things like nationalized healthcare and health registries that track the health of their population throughout life. Not so here. Not even close.

You’re going to hear a lot today about “other countries” not having a birth dose of HPV vaccines, so please keep Dr. Raifman’s post in mind as they lie to the public.
