Believe the science.
"The best and the worst thing about vaccination is that it 'makes nothing happen.'

A child successfully inoculated against measles doesn’t fall sick with that condition, doesn’t miss school, doesn’t go to the hospital. They don’t suffer life-changing complications. They don’t die prematurely."
A leading pediatrician was already worried about the future of vaccines. Then RFK Jr. came along
In a new book, pediatric infectious disease specialist Dr. Adam Ratner details the history of measles, a virus that’s often a bellwether for public health disasters.

Libraries are great for the books, sure, but it's also nice to have a quiet and safe space to sit and think- a place where no one is trying to sell you anything.

Absolutely terrifying.
🚨Measles mounts in an undervaccinated Texas county. Hospitalizations & 9 cases. Many more expected.

This may be the first big outbreak of 2025 but probably not the last, with vaccine misinformation espoused at the highest levels of government.

My latest:

With hospitalizations and at least a dozen cases, health officials race to contain a growing outbreak in a community with low vaccination.

While there's definitely room to improve how we talk about #PublicHealth, ceasing agency communications (even temporarily) isn't a good idea.

Consistent, transparent communication is essential for establishing & maintaining public trust in scientific institutions. (1/4) 🧪
