Antivaxxers own this. Infectious disease minimizers own this. Public health officials and media who keep promoting immunity debt own this.
The come back of pertussis and Measles is only the beginning of the resurgence of preventable infectious diseases in the US. This has been one of the biggest public health failures of 2025 and the competition is tough.

As some of us have been arguing for a long time: “the idea that speech should be judged by how it feels to protected groups, rather than by its truth or falsehood, is exactly the standard the right spent a decade railing against.”

This year I had the chance to see Edvard Munch’s The Sick Child painting in Oslo. It’s a powerful reminder of what our Institute, NICHD, NIH, works to prevent and cure.

this is really reckless, unethical, and irresponsible behavior, especially as we approach the peak of flu season. it’s also not the first time he’s done this — he’s fully aware what he’s doing is not okay because we have already explained that to him. this guy shouldn’t be repping public health
If there is a tamiflu shortage this year I blame twitter's #1 catastrophist EFD for advising people to stockpile prescription antivirals.

Just a reminder: Covid was a disease with a 1% IFR across western Europe in 2020

I mention this because all alternatives on how we should have managed the pandemic basically rely on bitching that by wild claims: PCR is rubbish, doctors were paid to say death was covid, etc.
I did the following:
- I took the sera studies for West Europe (incl DE/FR/SP/IT/PT/AT ...) which were considered as good by Ioannidis in his seminal paper on IFR from 2023
- I matched that with the info I have on covid deaths per certificate

Result? Covid IFR was >1% in Western Europe in 2020
