lots of misinformation in the comments now. For example the "only a few days" myth is debunked here by @aboutpediatrics.bsky.social vaxopedia.org/2019/10/02/a...
Are Vaccines Only Tested for 4 or 5 Days?
It is a common anti-vax myth that vaccines are only tested for four or five days before they are approved.

Idk why media is doing this again but if you are hearing about the drugs, “nitazenes,” you are probably getting bad info. Nitazenes are not necessarily more potent than fentanyl; multiple nitazenes are less potent. And we don’t know they’re killing Americans cause they’ve only been found in fentanyl

UK: What if everyone had masked up? Analysis of app data has the answer:
"Respirators would have dropped the rate of COVID transmission by an estimated factor of 9, compared with 0.6 for surgical masks. A factor of 9 is enough to put SARS-COV-2 into exponential decay!

Just wanted to compile my threads on ACIP meeting stuff into a single thread so that it would be easier to find stuff since it was interspersed with other stuff happening at the same time (I felt like one big thread for the entire meeting would be unwieldy)
I'm going to be watching the ACIP meeting live and posting updates. To start though- AAP will publish its own immunization schedule regardless of ACIP:

Also, yesterday AHIP announced insurers will continue to cover vaccines:
