Yes! If there is one thing I am certain of, it's that activaxers suck at math.
I care for children in the hospital on inpatient & consult services.
Most weeks there are at least a few kids admitted with vaccine preventable diseases.
Often in children who can’t get vaccinated themselves.
15 years in pediatrics and I’ve never seen a single one admitted with vaccine injury.

"If violent rhetoric is denounced but never deplatformed, it will only become bolder—& more violent. In RFK Jr.’s America, it will never be safe to practice public health or medicine." The authors call out violence caused directly by Kennedy, Bhattacharya & Prasad.

The CDC shooting was public health’s Jan. 6

Body-count Bobby had to go!
And so the war begins.
