I'm incredibly honored that @nytimes.com calls Booster Shots a "must-read"! Understanding public health and vaccine skepticism has never been more important.

We are weeks away from the most anti-vaccine administration in history taking power. Measles, the most contagious disease known, is still with us. 10 million cases & >100K deaths last year, mostly kids. All preventable. Measles vaccine saves lives, but only if we remember to use it. #BoosterShots
