Cheering Beckett on. Thanks @voices4vaccines.bsky.social your updates are great.

4 year old Beckett had the flu, and had to relearn his motor skills. Please help us make sure he doesn't get it again 💉 www.voicesforvaccines.org/what-flu-doe...

Fact: the people who make ivermectin literally give it away, and have pledged to do so "for as long as needed" to eliminate parasitic diseases. Look up Mectizan Donation Program. Mectizan is ivermectin. No one was ever hiding this drug from us.

Voices for Vaccines @voices4vaccines.bsky.social held a summer fundraiser, where the two top fundraising teams would participate in a trivia tournament with Dr. Peter Marks and Jessica Malaty Rivera @jessicamalaty.bsky.social Vaccine Mavens vs Vaccine Nerds:

If you get a flu shot, you can get a donut after. It's not free I just had two good ideas.

Last flu season my 9-year-old contracted flu and lost 10 pounds in the course of 2 weeks. Fortunately she never needed to be hospitalized, a miracle I attribute to her having had her flu vaccine. I'm so sad for Zach and other parents who are not so fortunate.

Zach lost his daughter to influenza. His wish is that your family doesn't underestimate the disease. www.voicesforvaccines.org/trust-me-you...

When we talk about needing 'herd immunity' to disease, kids like Beckett are why.

Beckett cannot protect himself from influenza or COVID. His family needs your help this fall.

Beckett Wear could lose a lot if he gets flu again. He's one of many kids who can't fight it on their own, and need others to help out by vaccinating. youtu.be/SMpCsCaNJKE?...

This organization does important work around a complication of vaccine-preventable disease, and has helped us share some stories about influenza. You should follow them!

Neurological complications from #influenza - ANE is one that Doctors dread. It typically occurs in previously healthy children. ##vaccinessavelives #ANEawareness Check our website for symptoms to be aware of. www.aneinternational.org

Influenza can cause or trigger a brain condition called ANE. Beckett experienced it last flu season. With vaccines, we hope he doesn't have to again.

4 year old Beckett has a rare condition where viruses like flu can cause brain inflammation. His parents do all they can to protect him. If you get vaccinated, you're helping too. www.voicesforvaccines.org/what-flu-doe...

CDC changed vaccine recs in 2019 for Tdap, so if your tetanus booster was before then you may not have gotten the "p" (whooping cough) part in a while...I learned from experience 😖 www.voicesforvaccines.org/my-pertussis...

great post from @malar0ne.bsky.social on @voices4vaccines.bsky.social

Influenza can be a very serious disease for otherwise healthy children. Everyone 6 months and up should get vaccinated. www.voicesforvaccines.org/well-never-m...

Vaccines save lives. Maybe yours? Or your child’s? Or grandchild’s?

"As fewer children get their flu shots, cases of a rare, severe complication are rising." We don't have to repeat that this fall & winter. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

“the longest month of my life…”

Sophia got the plain old flu, and developed a rare but real complication. Her mom says she'll never miss a flu shot again and hopes you get yours. www.voicesforvaccines.org/well-never-m...

Destiny went from anti-vaccine to pro-vaccine.

One of the pediatricians who helped defeat polio says he truly believed in the power of the vaccine. Today's conspiracies don't make sense to him.

You wanna know what actually DOES cause autism?

"When a baby is born, they are immediately exposed to hundreds of thousands of antigens...There is no evidence that the antigens a baby comes across daily or the comparative number of antigens in vaccines has any negative effect on a baby’s immune system." www.voicesforvaccines.org/jtf_topics/w...

Amish people do develop autism, they just don't get screened as often. www.voicesforvaccines.org/jtf_topics/a...

"I feel like I learned some serious lessons through my experience with the anti-vax movement. I had allowed my own need to affix a cause to my son’s neurodiversity to make me susceptible to misinformation. It took a while, but I realized I was wrong." www.voicesforvaccines.org/autism-paren...

Truly never a dull moment over at Voices for Vaccines.

Vaccines don't cause autism. What are some factors that might influence the rate? www.voicesforvaccines.org/jtf_topics/l...

People have come up with all sorts of ways to justify the myth that vaccines cause autism. Here's one popular story, and why it's misleading. www.voicesforvaccines.org/jtf_topics/d...

Vaccines do not cause autism. "One notable study from Denmark looked at more than 650,000 children born between 1999 and 2010 to see if the measles‑mumps‑rubella (MMR) shot could be linked to autism." ... It wasn't. www.voicesforvaccines.org/jtf_topics/h...

Today was a vaccination day! COVID booster and flu! Best birthday present - protection! @voices4vaccines.bsky.social

Vaccines don't cause birth defects and that includes COVID vaccines. And thanks to Carol Hayes of American College of Nurse Midwives for speaking up at the ACIP meeting vikilovesfacs.bsky.social feel free to add more - #IDSky + #MedSky. www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/no-...

Are COVID vaccines affecting your brain? There is no evidence to suggest so. www.voicesforvaccines.org/jtf_topics/a...

Some young people are active advocates for COVID vaccines. Hear from one directly. www.voicesforvaccines.org/why-i-got-va...

COVID vaccines are important in pregnancy (and safe). www.voicesforvaccines.org/jtf_topics/h...

How long DO* spike proteins persist in the body after vaccination? Forever? Nope 🙂‍↔️ www.voicesforvaccines.org/jtf_topics/h...

Is there unwanted DNA in the COVID vaccine? Here's where that claim comes from, and why it's misleading. www.voicesforvaccines.org/jtf_topics/i...

DNA in RNA vaccines? We clear the record. www.voicesforvaccines.org/jtf_topics/i...

COVID vaccine spike proteins do not cause long-term damage. www.voicesforvaccines.org/jtf_topics/s...

How do COVID vaccines affect your immune system? They just prepare it 🛡️ www.voicesforvaccines.org/jtf_topics/y...

SV40 is a favorite of the anti-vaccine movement. What is it? www.voicesforvaccines.org/jtf_topics/w...

There is 0 evidence that COVID vaccines cause cancer. It’s a very tired myth that has yet to be substantiated. www.voicesforvaccines.org/jtf_topics/d...

There is a hierarchy of scientific evidence. You can find a one off study that says anything. But high quality studies have shown COVID vaccines to be safe.

Myths about the COVID vaccine spike protein abound. Don’t buy the hype. www.voicesforvaccines.org/jtf_topics/a...
