Shouldn’t be this hard—NIH director admits after being grilled by @sanders.senate.gov : 1) The best way to stop the measles epidemic is to vaccinate your kids against measles. 2) no single vaccine causes autism. RFK Jr is wrong.

I think about this girl a lot.
She got Measles at 5 months, too young to be vaxxed & seemed to recover

10 yrs later, the virus that persisted in her brain triggered SSPE, which is almost always fatal

For kids who get Measles before 15 months, SSPE risk is ~1 in 609

Vaccination lowered risk, but even with 3 doses, reinfection was associated with ~3× higher risk than a single infection. Small absolute percentages still matter at population scale

Authors conclude: "prioritizing strategies that limit reinfections should remain a central public health objective"

Liberals take note: Saying that masks are 'living in fear, 'extreme' or infringements on your freedom are right-wing talking points.

Avoid these unless you want to sound like RFK Jr.

Accordingly, the political impact of these new released files is, frankly, nothing.…

Can't believe I hadn't put these together. The reason MeToo caused a panic and we're still living with the subsequent Gender reverberations is the very same as that huge swathes of the international business, entertainment, political, and academic elite were besties with a sex-trafficking paedophile

in retrospect in the wake of the epstein files being released, no wonder ‘me too’ was met with such anger and ultimately those in power it meant to target never face many consequences
