It’s really f*cking bleak as a physician in the US watching HIV deniers and green coffee grifters being given positions of power, while GOP politicians and tech-bros who know nothing about medicine call for Dr Fauci to be prosecuted. Bleak.

Dear Antivaxers,

I promise you that you don’t need to figure out on your own why disease happens and how to prevent or treat it. We already thought to look into that, but thanks for your input! We’ll take it from here!

Sincerely,
Hundreds of years of modern medical science

Would you let RFK Jr. operate on one of your loved ones? Of course not, because he is a lawyer, not a surgeon. He is not qualified. Similarly, a conspiracy theorist vaccine-denier is not qualified for the secretary of health. This appointment is dangerous and will cost MANY lives. #publichealth

Measles requires 95% vaccination rates for herd immunity.

It has a 16.2% case fatality rate for unvaccinated children under 5 years and 24% for children under 9 months (who are unable to be vaccinated).

30% of the survivors experience severe complications like blindness, deafness, or encephalitis.
These are the vaccination rates of kindergartners by state. It takes 95% coverage of MMR vaccine to prevent measles outbreaks & most states are not achieving it. I fear that under the new administration rates will drop even further and we will start to see preventable illness, disability, and death

Fellow healthcare providers, please consider using your voice to reject the appointment of dangerous, non-scientific and anti-vaccine Kennedy to secretary of health. Our country deserves scientific, evidence-based public health policy! Share widely!

Use you personal email no your work email. Sharing a draft example courtesy of a colleague. You can modify it to suit your needs. This is a time for action not silence and more that ever those who care about science and public health will need to be brave and vocal advocates because it matters.
