“The fact that unprecedented numbers came out today risking arrest and possible imprisonment shows how repulsed and ashamed people are about our government’s ongoing complicity in a livestreamed genocide, and the lengths people are prepared to go to defend this country’s ancient liberties.”

Access to safe abortion protects the health of women and girls. As with all other health services, women and girls should be able to access safe and respectful abortion care, when they need it, without fear of harm, punishment or recrimination. #HealthForAll

Nirsevimab, a long-acting and highly effective monoclonal antibody to protect against RSV will be introduced for high-risk infants across the UK this autumn- learn more about this at this @RCPCHtweets webinar www.rcpch.ac.uk/education-ca...

exciting news for the RSV field as @GAVI approves the opening of a funding window for the establishment of a maternal RSV vaccine programme www.gavi.org/news/media-r...

People are getting killed trying to get food. 877 people have died and 5666 were injured in #Gaza trying to get food in recent weeks.

our new paper just out in @lancetchildadol.bsky.social show that the new maternal RSV vaccine is highly effective in a real world setting- we estimated that it prevented 72% of hospital admissions with RSV infection when given more than two weeks before birth www.thelancet.com/journals/lan... 1/n

"We must recognise health problems are information problems" @adamjkucharski.bsky.social explains why tools like vaccines are 'not enough' to tackle disease epidemics, #PublicHealth interventions should now include steps to counter health #misinformation. www.lshtm.ac.uk/newsevents/e...

⚠️ Lack of access ⚠️ Conflict ⚠️ Disrupted supply ⚠️ Misinformation are causing millions of children to miss out on one or more life-saving vaccine. Even worse 🚨 over 14 million children received NO vaccines at all in 2024 👉 bit.ly/4kFzSGW

#Measles can be fatal. Do you know its symptoms? 🔸 Rash that starts on the face and spreads over the body 🔸 Fever 🔸 Runny nose 🔸 Cough 🔸 Red and watery eyes 🔸 Small white spots inside the cheeks Seek health care if you suspect you or your child has measles.

Very proud of our specialty societies for suing RFK Jr. over changes to COVID vaccine policy. Go AAP, ACP, IDSA, and SMFM! And thanks again to Dr. Georges Benjamin @apha.org who is always on the right side of justice! #MedSky

Whilst a lot of attention has focused on Robert F Kennedy's activity in the vaccination sphere in the United States (e.g. www.bmj.com/content/390/...)

this is a sober, detailed and well-informed response to the clear vaccine misinformation provided on national TV by @rfk-junior.bsky.social, Secretary of State for Health and Human Services in the United States

a lot of interest now globally on RSV immunisation/vaccination, so a timely release from @who.int iris.who.int/handle/10665... with recommendations for the scale of genomic surveillance required globally - as the vaccine gets rolled out important that we have representative global data

This is “healthcare” in the United States. A pharmacy benefit manager randomly decided they just weren’t going to cover this man’s inhaler anymore, so he couldn’t afford it. He died of an asthma attack. Devastating. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

our paper just out in @thelancet.com Regional Health Europe just out shows a clear impact for nirsevimab for the youngest infants (0-5m of age) in reducing attendances to, and admissions from, emergency departments in Catalonia, Spain www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

congratulations to Daira Trusinska and @ting-shi.bsky.social for their paper just out in @eclinicalmed.bsky.social looking at uptake of new RSV immunisation products: nirsevimab, maternal vaccination, and vaccination for older adults www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

@who.int has just published a comprehensive summary paper on immunisation approaches to protect infants against RSV disease: www.who.int/publications...

the BronchSTOP study has a live dashboard which summarised recruitment and virology in RSV vaccine eligible infants this past 2024-2025 winter bronchstop.netlify.app we now have a tab where you can find a link to our papers so far ,

really interesting paper @lancetchildadol.bsky.social on community acquired pneumonia in children, showing best indicators for severity of disease appear to be oxygen saturations and clinician documented work of breathing www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Our June 2025 issue is now live with content on managing glycaemic abnormality in #CysticFibrosis, predicting the severity of community-acquired #Pneumonia, real-world & long-term effectiveness of nirsevimab for #RSV, & more 👉https://bit.ly/3FjByaz #MedSky #PedSky #IDSky #EndoSky

When streets are safe for walking & cycling, people spend more time outdoors, supporting local businesses & keeping city centres alive. 👍Good for business 👍Great for communities 👍Essential for safer & healthier cities 🔗 bit.ly/4jPzXsa #RoadSafety #StreetsForLife

After hard work from collaborators across Scotland, our new paper looking at the burden of life-threatening invasive Group A Streptococcus infection is now out @pidjournal.bsky.social journals.lww.com/pidj/fulltex...

Thank you.

This is a great trial looking at ways to reduce the costs of the treatment of cystic fibrosis www.cysticfibrosisjournal.com/article/S156...

More evidence, now from Ireland, that infant immunisation with nirsevimab substantially reduced risks for hospitalisation due to RSV. Feedback very welcome, as well as suggestions for an eventual home. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

Studies from the pre-vaccine era found that *three quarters* of susceptible people who were exposed to someone with measles in their households went on to get the disease. It's an extremely infectious virus in susceptible populations. (Below from: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...)
