"The motivations behind the crusade against clean energy and the crusade against vaccines are also similar. The conspiracy-theorizing hostility to science and expertise in general that underpins both movements also predisposes people to become right-wing extremists, which means that their movements are now in power."

"Ws many observers have noted, the Trump administration is a kakistocracy: rule by the worst. A history of personal corruption is no longer a bar to high office — it’s practically a requirement.
Under Trump 47, people who have enriched themselves by peddling medical misinformation are no longer just influencing policymakers. They have become policymakers."

"If things keep going at this pace, we’re looking at 6,497 cases this year, the highest rate since the 1989-1991 measles epidemic that led to 55,000 cases and more than 100 deaths."
"That outbreak happened largely due to parents not being able to afford to immunize their kids, which led to Congress creating the Vaccines for Children program, which made vaccines free for all uninsured, underinsured, and Indigenous children.
It worked, and by 1992, there were 2,126. In 1993, there were 312, and so on."
"Polling has repeatedly shown that voters overwhelmingly do not support reducing vaccine access or changing the recommendations for longstanding childhood vaccines — including voters who identify as 'MAHA.'”

@alice May I ask what the three #vaccines were?
I'm a pharmacist, and I've been a radical PRO-vaxer literally since childhood. Louis Pasteur was one of my childhood heroes. So when I got my first dose of #Shingrix a few years ago, and this brutal adjuvanted vaccine made my whole right arm turn red and warm from the injection site in the deltoid all the way down to my wrist, it didn't bother me in the least. Quite the contrary. I thought, "Good! This is exactly the red alert my immune system needs."
I knew that Shingrix was more effective than the old #Zostavax live vaccine against #shingles, which I had also gotten. Not long ago it had been thought impossible for a recombinant vaccine like Shingrix to be more effective than the best available live vaccine, but the rules are rapidly being rewritten by modern #adjuvant technology.
What I was NOT prepared for was the flood of good news about Shingrix from observational research — the exact opposite of #antivaxer paranoid fantasies. I'll be the first to admit that the picture isn't clear yet — science works by theory based on the accumulated totality of observational and experimental evidence, not by overconfident extrapolation from individual studies. But it’s looking as though Shingrix has astonishing benefits above and beyond its basic purpose of preventing shingles. And the benefits may even extend to other modern adjuvanted vaccines.
Vaccination against shingles was expected to provide some protection against #dementia, simply because herpes #zoster, the virus that causes shingles, is a known risk factor for dementia. But observational studies showed statistically that the reduction in new-onset dementia began right away — too quickly for it to be purely the result of suppression of shingles attacks, which are infrequent. And now evidence is starting to appear that suggests that Shingrix may have a general anti-aging effect through some kind of "tuning" of the immune system — as may at least some other adjuvanted vaccines.
How ironic. This is the kind of very general benefit that homeopaths and such tend to claim, dubiously, for their panaceas — and now it looks as though modern biomedical high technology has achieved it for real, without even trying.
Think about that as your immune system on red alert is making you, very temporarily, feel miserable.

Getting vaccinated helps protect people who can’t get vaccinated.
Some individuals can’t safely receive the MMR vaccine, including pregnant people and/or immunocompromised people. That’s why doctors emphasize community immunization: when more people are protected, it reduces spread and helps shield vulnerable people from being exposed.
Public health officials say vaccination is the best tool to prevent the outbreak from spreading further.

CNN video of the visits by two Congresspeople to the facility showed the Congressmen sharing info from the #Dilley child psychologists that "many" of the children at the facility were "sleeping a lot." The facility psycholgist attributed it to depression.
But video of the five-year-old #LiamRamos -- taken while he was still being held at the facility-- showed a child who was not merely sleeping, but was nearly unconscious. He was non-responsive, either due to being drugged or feverish.
FYI: A common symptom of #Measles -- a symptom which happens prior to any skin rash-- is usually days of fever, excessive sleep, and general lethargy. (I'm old enough to remember the Measles.)
Today, that tired-eyed five-year-old was on a plane and taken back to #Minnesota .
I'm very glad he's gone home, but I would bet good money that entire plane was exposed to Measles.

Summary: he thinks we don't need vaccines anymore because we don't have the incidence we used to (BECAUSE OF VACCINATION!) and because we can better treat illness now.
The exchange rate between ounces of prevention and pounds of cure must have changed from what I remember.

Oh, FFS, every high school freshman who paid addition in their first real science class will tell you the underlying foundation of Science, which we named the Scientific Method so there would be no doubt, is following an evidence-based process for understanding the world.
We ask a question, do research, form a testable hypothesis, experiment, gather data, build on past findings and then draw conclusions. Nowhere in there does it say science is based on individual observations. I'm all for challenging previous conclusions but not the "I ignore everything and have my own opinion of what the science is."
How the heck is this guy an MD? Scary that he is a pediatric cardiologist. Who would let a doc that things like this work on their child's heart.

Okay, I am a lot more alive today.
If you get the two part Shingles vaccine, make sure you take the next day off, after the second shot. I jinxed myself by saying "Oh, this isn't too bad." For me, the side effects were mild at first: mostly fatigue. It was the next day that it hit, hard. Are you usually aware of all of your bones? Because you will be acutely aware of all of them after the second shot.
Today, the pain is pretty much gone. I just feel rubbery, the opposite of yesterday where I felt like I was made of heavy lumber and somehow had tried to swim the English channel without drowning.
It's still worth it. Shingles is more painful than the side effects of the shot. (If you ever suspect Shingles, you want to get your doc to Rx Valtrex and Neurontin ASAP, before it gets worse.) I've had Shingles twice. It will make you cry.
We don't know exactly how much protection vs. Alzheimer's that Shingrix imparts, but potentially 40%. Why? Because viruses are key and always have been. They are known triggers of many conditions, especially autoimmune, but others, too.
So, get the shots, if you can.

Below, white text says: “If one pillar is weak, others can be strengthened. Better masks can offset poor ventilation. More ventilation can reduce reliance on individual masking. Layering creates flexibility without sacrificing safety.” In the center are five labeled pill-shaped boxes stacked vertically: “Masking”, “Ventilation”, “Social distancing”, “Testing”, “Vaccination”. A yellow starburst on the left reads: “Prevention is a system—not a single action.” Bottom italic text reads: “Effective against COVID, flu, RSV, and other airborne threats.”
"The strongest evidence for off-target benefits, dating back 25 years, shows reduced cardiovascular risk following flu shots.
Healthy older adults vaccinated against flu have substantially lower risks of hospitalization for heart failure, as well as for pneumonia and other respiratory infections. Vaccination against influenza has also been associated with lower risks of heart attack and stroke."

Oh look, among the bottom in the country in something, YET AGAIN!
Our elected leadership, with their anti-science, anti-education stances
are to blame.
This year we need to break free and have a #NewSC!
"The number of reported measles cases in South Carolina is skyrocketing — and spilling into other states.
On Friday, the South Carolina Department of Public Health said it’s confirmed 99 new cases of the disease since Tuesday, bringing the state’s total number of cases to 310."

Marcie Jones quotes an illiterate tweet (redundant to put "illiterate" before "tweet" in his case, I know) in which the man dispensed medical advice about vaccines to parents of small children. Then she responds:

RE: https://zirk.us/@ChrisMayLA6/115830275867691351
I recently turned an anti vaxxer who called the COVID vaccine a clot shot into someone who decided to go and get vaccinated using a very simple argument. Feel free to use it:
1. Vaccines are made by drug companies.
2. Drug companies make most of their money off the elderly as ageing populations require more care.
3. Why would you kill off your customers before they become the most profitable to you?
They've now had all their COVID vaccines.
Ironic too that we were all supposed to be dead by new year's eve.
Vaccines save rescue cats’ lives and many can’t wait.
Without timely vaccines, rescued cats are at risk of deadly but preventable diseases.
How are you helping today?

"The share of U.S. counties where 95 percent or more of kindergartners were vaccinated against measles — the number doctors say is needed to achieve overall protection for the class, known as 'herd immunity' — has dropped from 50 percent before the pandemic to 28 percent, according to The Post’s examination of the public records from 44 states and the District of Columbia."

A major milestone for next generation Covid vax: The first clinical trial for a pancoronavirus formulation of an existing vaccine was registered.

In my monthly update @PLOS
The Trump administration will review frozen grants to universities ✅without using its controversial standards that discouraged gender, race and sexual orientation initiatives and vaccine research.
In a settlement agreement filed in Massachusetts federal court Monday, the National Institutes of Health and a group of Democratic attorneys general who’d challenged the new criteria for #grant #funding said the #NIH would consider grant applications made up to Sept. 29, 2025, 👍without judging the efforts related to diversity, equity and inclusion, or #DEI, or #vaccines.
The settlement provides an uncontested path for the agency while courts decide whether the administration can use its controversial analysis.
❌The administration did not agree to permanently ditch its campaign to evaluate health research funding decisions based on schools’ DEI programs.
⭐️NIH officials “will complete their consideration of the Applications in the ordinary course of NIH’s scientific review process, without applying the Challenged Directives,” the settlement said, adding that the agency would “evaluate each application individually and in good faith.”
The settlement was signed by U.S. Department of Justice lawyers and the attorneys general of Massachusetts, California, Maryland, Washington, Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, Hawaii, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island and Wisconsin.
illness, deaths from flu [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
"The CDC estimated there have been at least 7.5 million illnesses, 81,000 hospitalizations and 3,100 deaths from flu so far this season."
"… it’s not too late to get a flu shot, which health experts say can still prevent severe illness even if someone gets infected."
"According to the CDC, only about 42% of adults and children have gotten a flu vaccination so far this year." 😱
It‘s baffling that people who claim to be worried about a future with low birth rates seem to do everything in their power to increase child mortality.

Even more baffling that 82% of Republicans still approve of Kennedy. „Pro Life“?

"Bloom said the H3N2 virus has changed just enough to make it harder for people's immune systems to recognize, but a flu shot could still help.
'Getting the vaccine is something that people, particularly those who are in high-risk groups, can do,' he explained. 'It's not going to eliminate their chance of getting infected, but it does mitigate their risk.'"

Facebook post from Sharon Astyk:
Reading parenting groups (which I do to get a sense of what people who don't bury themselves in this stuff think) has a very medieval feel right now.
1/3 of posts are about illness, and here are some things people are recommending for flu/covid/rsv (most of them have no idea what they have and no intention of finding out.)
- Onion poultice on feet
- Ivermectin
- Ice in your socks
- For God's sake don't ask any doctor
- Don't take any vaccines
- Essential oils
Don't get me wrong, I think it is incredibly gross to criticize people for using traditional treatments in a society where serious diseases like covid and flu usually get nothing in the way of supportive assistance, and I use herbal remedies. But the sheer number of people who are sick who are absolutely sure that onions on their feet will fix their "cold" seems...weird and archaic.
Also in the same group, many women describing long covid symptoms (exhaustion, brain fog, POTS, etc...) as purely hormonal and wondering why their estrogen isn't working.
"The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will release a new vaccine schedule next year that recommends fewer shots, NewsNation reported Friday. The move would bring the U.S., which recommends 72 childhood vaccines doses targeting 18 diseases, in line with Denmark, which recommends 11 doses targeting 10 diseases."
Are we also adding universal healthcare, near-universal prenatal screening, and paid parental leave?
https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/5660168-gottlieb-warns-trump-vaccine-changes/
Lena H. Sun and Rachel Roubein report that the Trump administration is planning to stop recommending most child vaccines, shifting the onus on doctors (to which many citizens do not have regular access due to lack of healthcare doverage) to help parents decide whether to vaccinate children.

"We expect breakthroughs to occur on a regular basis, and 2025 delivered; successful trials of gene therapies for diseases that have no treatments, for example, filled scientists and the public with hope. But bright spots like these were overshadowed by a series of political decisions in the U.S. that have already started to set public-health care back instead of pushing it forward."

Disparaging comments about immigrants was “pervasive,” said Munoz, a pediatric infectious disease specialist in Texas who became a US citizen after moving to the United States to work as a physician. “It was not just a mention here or there,” she said. “It's terrifying for government appointees to describe immigrants this way.”

Judd Legum reports that 111 people in South Carolina now have measles, with 254 in quarantine, including 43 children. Infections are accelerating. ␁
Measles were declared eliminated from the US in 2000. Vaccination now would protect people, since vaccination within 72 hours of exposure prevents infection.
But RFKJr's response to the situation in South Carolina: total sielnce.
Total silence as he tries to inject doubt about the efficacy of vaccines by spreading lies about them and says that it's very difficult for measles to kill a healthy person and cod liver oil is the best way to treat measles….
“They’re not just trying to change one vaccine,” said Angela Rasmussen, a virologist and an editor of the scientific journal Vaccine. “They’re trying to dismantle how vaccine policy is made.”
