🧵 We must learn from history—or risk repeating it.
During 1989–91, the U.S. experienced over 55,000 measles cases and around 120 child deaths—mostly among unvaccinated, uninsured preschoolers.
This led to the Vaccines for Children (VFC) program, which provides free vaccines to eligible kids.

This week it’s hard not to despair as we see everything we’ve lost. But public health has always been an act of faith. Faith that incremental changes can make vast differences in the future. So keep speaking up. Keep doing the work. We are the keepers of the seeds. And we will grow again. 💚

All praise to @apha.org for being the first major organization to call for this. #RFKJr is a public health menace.
HHS Secretary RFK Jr. is a danger to the public’s health and should resign or be fired, says APHA. In just a few short weeks, his actions on vacccines, fluoride and other public health science have shown how wrong he is for the job. Read & share our statement: apha.org/news-and-med...
