CIDRAP’s Vaccine Integrity Project has released a major evidence review: 400+ studies/reports, 40 years of data—and the conclusion is unmistakable.

There is no evidence supporting a delay in the hepatitis B birth dose.

For years (and YEARS) I've been saying do not trust VAERS reports. There is no vetting, no statistical relevancy. It's pure anecdote.
Pretty much ANY statistic you see cited to frighten you about vaccines comes from the VAERS database. (Including the recent evidence-free missive from Vinay Prasad). Here's why VAERS can NEVER be a proper source for population-level vaccine risk estimates.

The ACIP meets 9/18 to discuss vaccines. Sources close to the CDC say it's planned to not recommend the covid vax to anyone under 75 unless they have a preexisting condition

This affects your access, physical and financial! If not recommended, health ins may not cover shots

Vaccines.gov appears to still be broken 😡 I'm skeptical it's going to be fixed any time soon (thank you, Robert F'ing Kennedy)

easyvax.com may be a useful alternative this season. It's GSK but at least it functions as it should.

NEW: Only a few companies make nearly all the vaccines kids receive. Only 1 manufacturer makes chickenpox vax. And 2 or 3 make the shots against more than a dozen diseases, including polio and measles. If any were to drop out, the US could find itself in a crisis it hasn't seen in 40 years.

RFK Jr wants to block NIH employees from publishing in journals like Nature, the Lancet, JAMA, in favor of "in house" publications, which would certainly limit print to policy based manufactured evidence. He would then use those papers to justify whatever he imagines. Snake oil eating its own tail.

So much for RFK Jr.’s radical transparency.🙄
A CDC “background briefing” on thimerosal — noting evidence doesn't support a link between thimerosal-containing vaccines and autism — was posted to the agency's website Tuesday. Today, it was taken down.

Please make sure you do the following as quickly as possible, especially if you are immunocompromised:

1. Get every vaccine you need

2. Buy some high-quality masks (KF94, KN95 or N95).

These fools that Kennedy just appointed are going to cause the reemergence of vaccine-preventable disease.
