AAI, @acpimphysicians.bsky.social, and a coalition of 34 leading scientific and medical organizations have issued a joint statement to affirm vaccine safety amid rising misinformation and declining trust.

Read the full statement: ow.ly/xtoP50VjT02.
Vaccines are a cornerstone of public health, a shining example of the power of scientific research, and a vital tool in the fight against diseases. A message from 34 scientific societies and medical organizations, led by the American Association of Immunologists and the American College of Physicians. Between 1994 and 2023, routine immunizations and adherence to current vaccine schedules for children born in the U.S. prevented an estimated 508 million cases of illness, 32 million hospitalizations, and 1+ million deaths. These efforts saved $540 billion in direct costs and $2.7 trillion in societal costs (CDC, 2024). Globally 150 million lives saved in 50 years. Vaccination campaigns worldwide have save an estimated 154 million lives over the past 50 years, particularly through initiatives targeting diseases like smallpox, polio, and measles (WHO, 2024). Through rigorous scientific research and extensive testing, vaccines have consistently proven their ability to save lives, prevent illness, and protect entire communities. Clinical trials and long-term post-market safety monitoring ensure that vaccines are safe, and any safety concerns that arise are swiftly investigated.

NEW IMMUNE SYSTEM ANALOGY which fell out of my brain during class (hooray):

You have two wheely bins for trash.

One bin is for trash that you generate in your house (MHC I). If drug paraphernalia is found in that bin, your house is going to get raided and destroyed (cytotoxic T cell). (1/2)

Synthetic Spore Husk-Encased Lipid bilayer (SSHELs) mimic bacterial spores and deliver peptides to dendritic cells, showing efficient tumor regression and improved survival in mice. SSHELs require complex synthesis but avoid cell culture use, unlike VLPs. #MedSky #MedEd #medschoolsky #immunosky

mRNA vaccines, COVID-19 or otherwise, are not gene therapy.

Misconceptions & misinformation have eroded progress in science innovation.

2 main reasons:
1) misunderstanding of nuanced science
2) intentional spread of falsehoods

Measles outbreaks are not normal.

Measles was eliminated in 2000 due to successful vaccination campaigns. Declining vaccination rates since have led to an increase in measles outbreaks. The good news is #measles is preventable with the MMR vaccine.

#mRNA #vaccine production:
mRNA is synthesized from plasmid DNA encoding a pathogen’s antigen. Bacteriophage polymerases transcribe it in vitro. Purified by HPLC, it is encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles, filtered, and stored in vials.

Measuring MHC-Peptide affinity via Peptide Seq:
Peptides are incubated with dendritic cells to form peptide-MHC complexes. MHC-peptide complexes are extracted, separated by liquid chromatography, sequenced via mass spectrometry, and validated with transcriptome data.

HPV vaccines are proven safe, with no severe side effects. They do not lead to increased sexual activity, debunking a common myth. Vaccination significantly reduces the risk of HPV-related cancers in both men and women, underscoring its importance. #health #vaccination #hpv #cancer

Also because of the times in which we live- if you have ever had a question about the HPV vaccine, I probably covered it here (and if I haven't please ask me in the replies and I will do my best to answer or find someone who can answer)

#Measles infections weaken immunity long-term, increasing infection-related mortality. The virus replicates in immune cells, causing their death and reducing the antibody repertoire, underscoring the need for MMR #vaccination.

juemos.bsky.social James Holland Jones @juemos.bsky.social · Jul 28
Mina et al. (2019) showed that measles infection caused the elimination of 11-73% of the total antibody repertoire across individuals. The only way to build these back is re-exposure to the pathogens. Such immune system effects were not observed in MMR recipients. doi.org/10.1126/scie... (10/11)
Very complex plot from Mina et al. (2019) showing the devastation on the immune system of measles infection.
