Doctors aren’t ”hurt or offended” offended by people who choose not to vaccinate. Most of us understand the science and the contents of the #vaccines and how herd immunity works, so we get frustrated at all the disinformation from people in gov who will dictate how we may care for patients.

This is not the first time RFK Jr or his fellow anti-vax travelers conducted a study they knew would harm or kill children in low-income countries. It is a dehumanizing, colonialist model of manufacturing evidence: sacrificing foreign kids for political pseudoscience.

Oh. Oh wow. If this non-competitive grant for a placebo controlled single blind RCT really is going directly to Christine Stabell Benn (and/or her research partner & husband Peter Aaby, i.e., the Bandim Health Project, Guinea-Bissau), this would be yet another rather huge red flag.

The media needs to stop writing headlines like “The CDC changes course on vaccines and autism” and “The CDC defends measles response”.
NONE of this is coming from legitimate scientists at the CDC.
ALL of it is coming from RFK Jr.
Every such headline is causing further harm to public health.

Though, as vaccination rates drop and meningitis causing illnesses return, we probably won’t be able to use this.
The updated PECARN rule reliably identified low-risk febrile infants, with no missed cases of bacterial meningitis, potentially reducing routine lumbar punctures.
