With all the news of vaccines & immunity, did you know measles infections destroy immunity and cause “Immune Amnesia”, increasing risk of all other infections Our research in ‘15 & ‘19 discovered this & the abbreviated story is written up nicely here: 1/ https://t.co/t5DKoQljxM

Wow. The same Gov that is practically encouraging a spread of measles is, what, embarrassed by losing measles elimination status under their watch? Now asking for a delay on officially saying U.S. is again a measles endemic country until after midterms https://t.co/BBNeROFqwO

So glad the message is getting out. It’s a far cry from where we were just a few years ago: “You cannot shame ppl into getting a vaccine” I’d urge too that you “cannot and *should not*” shame people into it Listen with empathy and go from there…

Facts alone don't change minds—trusted messengers and empathetic conversations do. This powerful piece reminds us: Shaming vaccine-hesitant parents drives them away. Meeting people with empathy is where real change begins. The goal isn't to win an argument, it's to protect

As David notes, he was an early fan of the “beta” version of my new book. His support, alongside many others, gave me the confidence to invest five more years to deliver a richer, deeper, and hopefully more impactful piece of work. Much appreciation @FoundersPodcast.

I study measles. I’ve seen the devastating toll it takes on children’s immune systems It drives immunological amnesia and erases parts of protective immune memory and sets kids up for secondary infections months and years later Its not benign https://t.co/I4vH43diHN

This is such a needed article Parents do not forego vaccines bc of contempt Parents forego vaccines because they LOVE their children and parents are often legitimately confused re vaccines So “best option” becomes the path that doesn’t have the vaccine https://t.co/kIsYNWVWqV

Measles isn’t just an acute infection. It’s a disease that leaves a child vulnerable for years by wiping swaths of hard earned protective immunological memory
