Very sorry to hear that the good people in @brookwoodpottery.com in Fairview had their shop burgled and vandalized last night. It’s difficult running a small business in Ireland so throw them a bit of love #SpeirGorm !

No industry is perfect. But the imbalance is hard to miss. One sector must prove its products are safe & effective. The other profits by avoiding that responsibility.

I couldn’t WAIT to get nirsevimab for my baby. He barely noticed when RSV circulated in his class. It was amazing. Starkly different from when my older child had RSV as an infant and nearly needed to go to the hospital.
"In this multicenter case-control investigation, nirsevimab was 80% effective at preventing RSV-associated ICU admission and 83% effective at preventing acute respiratory failure"

The CDC website was quietly edited last night to claim there’s “no evidence” that vaccines don’t cause autism.
This is false.
But this is damaging, even beyond people’s confidence in vaccines.
For the first time in my career, I cannot tell people to trust what the CDC website without hesitation.
