Read to your kids 📖

No kids? Read to your friends’ kids.

No friends with kids? Make a friend—preferably one who comes with kids to expedite the operation—and start reading!

It is imperative that children are read to ☝️

Things you never want to hear public health officials say:

“It feels like we’re on a hijacked airplane”

“We can’t fulfill our mission here”

RFK Jr has ruined the CDC, and those who are left realize that protecting the public is all but impossible.

New from me: I talked to CDC staffers about the new vaccines and autism page. They said things like:

“The best way I can put it is it feels like we’re on a hijacked airplane.”

“I think people are starting to see that we can’t fulfill our mission here.”
“Embarrassing” and “horrifying”: CDC workers describe the new vaccines and autism page

The new CDC webpage on autism makes a number of false claims. We correct the record here.

tldr: vaccines don't cause it. www.voicesforvaccines.org/jtf_topics/w...
What are the facts on autism?
CDC changes raised new autism-vaccine fears, but science is clear: vaccines don’t cause autism. Learn how real research works and what the evidence shows.

Pneumonia is the infectious disease that claims the most children’s lives worldwide – almost all of these deaths are preventable.

Without access to quality health care and vaccines, millions of children are at risk of this preventable disease.
