✨ Guilded Age's back ✨ but only that part in which measles kill a lot of children. Not sure, but looks like they are aiming at 1890's death burden (9250 ppl.)

A tragic, preventable loss - a child has died from measles in the U.S. due to lack of vaccination. Science is clear: measles kills, vaccines save lives.

Yet, the U.S. SoH RFK remains a vaccine skeptic. Public health must be led by facts, not misinformation.

9th case of #Mpox clade I reported in #UK. Patient has travel history to Uganda. This shows that #diseases know no borders and intl. cooperation is essential more than ever 🌍

Additionally, #UKSHA will now stop publishing case-by-case notifications and will publish weekly statistics on Thursdays.

Amid an #mpox emergency, plus outbreaks of #H5N1, #Marburg, #Ebola, I think that the risks of electing a Vx denier as the US Health Sec cannot be overestimated! I knew Trump was a fan of McKinley in economics, I didn't know his wish to also have the health level of that time...
