It’s #MythBustingMonday.
Today’s myth: “Multiple vaccines at once will overload a child’s immune system.”
This idea is popular with anti-vaccine groups and also POTUS. But immunology, decades of research, and real-world data all say the same thing: it’s false. 🧵

Every activated Guardsman has a family, a job, school, or something that they are leaving to do their duty.
It’s one thing when it’s a war… or a real mass civil disturbance, which those only last a few days.
But to rip these people from their lives for a show… is awful.

Here are the trends across all the International Traveller samples. From that perspective, XFG.* "Stratus" is higher at 50%.
This dataset (mostly arrivals in the US and Japan) is arguably more random, as it is not skewed by sequencing volumes.

HOW COOL IS THIS? Researchers have developed a DENTAL FLOSS that can DELIVER vaccines THROUGH the gums, a method that could one day offer a NEEDLE-FREE alternative for vaccination. This approach effectively stimulated immunity AND provided FULL protection against a lethal strain of influenza. 🧪🧵⬇️

Three dead, dozens sick from Listeria in premade chicken meals sold at Walmart & Kroger.
In normal times, CDC would issue a HAN.
Instead, we’re wasting energy revisiting thimerosal myths while real threats go unchecked.
