A tenet of Fascism is keep repeating lies and people will become so confused about what is the truth that they’ll start to believe them. We all have a responsibility to keep repeating the truth in the face of politically-motivated lying. Don’t just roll your eyes, speak up.

My biggest issue with Florida removing vaccine mandates for all vaccines in schools is that they have not instead chosen another tactic or intervention to replace these.
Which means they have effectively decided that public health is not a mandate they consider worthy of undertaking.

mRNA vaccines have already saved millions of lives from Covid and they have the potential to save millions more from other diseases. Suspending research on this modern medical miracle will mean more suffering and more preventable death.

The mRNA vaccine platform has already been assessed across diverse clinical indications, many with remarkable progress:
—cancer neoantigen vaccines [in patients with refractory disease (e.g. pancreatic)]
—more than 15 infectious diseases
—autoimmune diseases
—rare disease for genome editing

Debate over whether to make respirator use in health care settings universal should begin by eliciting responses to the following question:
If universal respirator use among health care workers could prevent the death of one patient/year, would you consider such a policy/practice 'worth' it?

And in answering the question, recall our duty is, first and foremost, to patient welfare. A presumption should therefore exist to adopt any measure capable of reducing infections/illness, a presumption which can of course be rebutted. But this is the way it should work, not the other way around.

I have wondered for a long time which mattered more: reality, or the online perception of reality. If people whose children die still don't believe in vaccines, then we have the answer.

RFK Jr. ‘makes a living on lawsuits that target vaccines:’ Brandy Zadrozny on HHS measles response
Measles cases have reached a 33-year high with breakouts across 39 states. Critics have called on HHS Sec. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to do more to stop the spread. Kennedy has been advocating alternatives to the MMR vaccine. MSNBC Senior Reporter Brandy Zadrozny argues this is “vaccine cynicism” coming from “a person who makes a living on lawsuits that target vaccines, an anti-vaccine activist in charge of public health,” says Zadrozny.
