Your periodic reminder that mRNA vaccines are a scientific and public health game-changer. Those that have been approved have passed stringent efficacy and safety checks. They protect you and your child against potentially fatal diseases. You may, however, get a sore arm.

What happens when vaccine coverage collapses in Florida because they are ending vaccine requirements for school entry?
1. Disease outbreaks that end up hospitalizing and killing infants too young to be vaccinated by responsible parents, the elderly whose immunity wanes, and the immunocompromised.

Some of us may have gotten lax w/ cancer screenings. This is your reminder to schedule yours ASAP.
Here’s why.
RFK Jr. wants to fire every member of the USPSTF. This is the group whose recommendations decide which screenings must be covered by insurance.
He will not replace them with experts.

mRNA vaccines are safe, have been in development for decades, & have far broader applications than older vaccine technologies.
New vaccine technologies evolve when scientists have tools & knowledge to make something more elegant or complex that wasn’t possible before.

RFK Jr cut half a billion dollars in research funding for mRNA vaccines.
He & Marty Makary claim mRNA vaccines are “risky” so they’ll shift to “traditional, older” vaccine tech that’s “safer.”
Guess what?
