124 new measles cases in SC since Friday for a total of 2,144 cases across 44 states. In normal times, CDC would be surging funds and staff to state and local health departments to try to contain outbreaks. Now? Nothing.

This is RFKJ, a believer in "natural immunity", telling us to "tough it out"

The list of off target benefits of vaccines is growing! Several vaccines are associated with reduced risk of conditions not targeted by a specific vaccine.

Shingles 💉 ➡️ reduced dementia risk
Flu💉 ➡️ reduced dementia risk
Pneumococcal💉 ➡️ reduced Alzheimers risk
COVID/RSV💉 ➡️ reduced cardiac events
Vaccines Are Helping Older People More Than We Knew

This is state-led violence.

We abhor this move and encourage those angry or hurt to support the Trevor Project.

Remember, the depravity is meant to distract us from the ransacking of our government. They won’t erase us. They won’t distract us.

A reminder I will be providing at least once a month for all of the remaining years of my life:

Months before the 2024 election, the Department of Justice announced that there were at least six hundred Russian assets inside the United States and that some...were SITTING MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

TX measles update

There are now 58 confirmed measles cases in TX (Gaines, Terry, Lubbock, Lynn counties) and 8 in NM (Lea county). Nearly all in unvaccinated children. The measles vaccine (MMR) is safe and highly effective (2 doses = 97% effective). See links below for more info

HHS has ordered CDC to stop its influenza vaccine “Wild to Mild” media campaign. This is an award-winning campaign that effectively explains how influenza vaccine may not prevent infection but does decrease illness severity. We are currently having one of the worst influenza seasons in 15 years.

This framing is their framing, and NYT took the bait. The correct and accurate framing is: “Deep cuts to medical research threatens progress on cancer and heart disease research, costs the economy $80B, and threatens 300,000 jobs across red and blue states”

Elon Musk has reportedly spent $40M on a series of Superbowl ads airing tonight attacking USAID's "wasteful spending." We may not have millions of dollars but between all of us, we do have a massive global network.

Here are just a few ways USAID could have spent $40M:

Save Foreign Aid
Elon Musk reportedly spent $40 million dollars on #Superbowl ads calling #USAID wasteful. Here are just a few ways we would’ve spent $40M: 🏈Purchased life-saving HIV treatment from American pharmaceutical companies to keep 1,060,000 million people alive for one year 🏈Bought enough emergency food aid products made in Rhode Island and Georgia to treat 800,000 severely malnourished children 🏈Slowed the flow of migrants to our borders by providing job training to 50,000 people in Central America 🏈Protected 30,000,000 football fields of tropical forest in Africa, preventing China and Russia from exploiting timber and critical minerals that fuel our world 🏈Saved the lives of 25 million children suffering from severe malaria. We think this one has value on its own but maybe Musk would disagree This Super Bowl Sunday, tell Congress to #saveforeignaid and #standwithUSAID

In at least 22 states and America at large, more children and teens die from gun violence than in car accidents.

Congress enacted commonsense safety measures to reduce fatalities on our roads. They must take this same approach to combat gun violence.

The U.S. Department of Labor is organizing a protest. Elon Musk’s staff will be present at the Frances Perkins Building in Washington, D.C., today at 4 p.m. It was mentioned that staff should plan to stay late after the 4 p.m. meeting to assist with setting up Elon Musk staffers into their systems.

Goes beyond MMWR +other CDC pubs. Applies to research already submitted to top medical journals.

Hello friends. Let’s start this morning off with a pep talk.
The overwhelm, confusion, and fear you’re feeling is what they want you to feel. They want you helpless, hopeless, and paralyzed. Do not take their intimidation and do not give them your joy.

Shout out to the people (and institutions) who told me for years it was bad to criticize right wing extremists, science deniers, antivaxxers, and all the other bigots and frauds.

Science has always been inherently political.
Shout out to all the fuckwits who told me, two months ago, that scientists must strive to remain apolitical.
