A central part of RFK's rationale for cutting funding to Gavi, which of course Atul won't address, is the continued use of DTP vaccine in low-income countries. Alarmingly, this vaccine appears to increase overall mortality, particularly in girls, in settings of high background
This is a travesty and a nightmare. The US was a founder of @Gavi. It lowers vaccine costs for the world, has vaccinated 1B children, and averted 19M deaths. This pull out will cost 100s of thousands of children's lives a year -- and RFK Jr will be personally responsible.

Ofc this article repeats the typical foolishness, "we definitely urge our pregnant patients to be vaccinated and/or boosted against covid" One of the original proponents of this idea that infections during pregnancy, which resulted in "maternal immune activation," could in turn
Recent research indicates higher rates of neurodevelopmental disorders among children exposed to #COVID19 during pregnancy.

Yet another example of this reporting bias. "Off-target" effects (aka non-specific vaccine effects) are considered real if they're beneficial, but fake if they're harmful. If a drug can have such wide-ranging and unpredictable off-target effects, why would you be so confident
Fascinating to see the immediate and intense coverage of a new finding that a live shingles vaccine might have positive non-specific effects. Compare that with how the mainstream media completely ignores all of the concerning findings about inactivated vaccines.

"Weeks before he contracted the virus, Mateo received this year’s flu shot — which has been called a possible “mismatch” to H3N2, though doctors say it would still provide protection against the mutation."

“Today’s scientists have substituted mathematics for experiments, and they wander off through equation after equation, and eventually build a structure which has no relation to reality”
The hysterical reaction from "experts" when reformers enter the federal government and propose even modest changes (like maybe people don't need untested covid boosters every year for the rest of their lives):

In 1000 years from now, influenza will still be spreading. Believing that we will somehow "stop transmission" of influenza is completely delusional.

"The Supreme Court has significantly increased constitutional vigilance over religious freedoms, prompting vaccine opponents to judicially challenge states with robust or no religious exemptions. On December 8, 2025, the Court asked the US Second Circuit Court of Appeals to

Denmark's vaccine schedule still includes HPV vax---one of the most questionable vaccines The goal should not be to replace the US schedule with Denmark's, but instead to get the federal government out of the vaccine enterprise entirely (And the difference between health
The Denmark childhood vaccine schedule has nine fewer vaccines than the United States childhood vaccine schedule. Denmark also does not mandate childhood vaccines and has better health outcomes. @delbigtree @HighWireTalk

A story about ILI, which was not prevented by the ritual of immunization. Most cases of ILI do not require hospitalization. Notice the belief that without the ritual it could have been worse. Or better. Or exactly the same. You can believe anything. You cannot prevent it.
ER doc here. My 2025 flu story. In short, it's truly a horror show. I got my flu shot on time - the hospital nurse months ago came to me in the ER to give it while I was seeing patients - I couldn't be more grateful. 👇👇👇 I know this year's flu vaccine isn't perfect but good

FDA is gonna get every adult over 50 on hormone replacement therapy before doing anything about vaccine safety 😂
Under President Trump’s leadership, the FDA: ✅ Just hit a monthly record cell & gene Tx approvals ✅ Hitting ALL drug target date goals ✅ Eliminating animal testing requirements ✅ Reducing decision times (1 yr to months) ✅ Onboarding 1,000 new scientists ✅ Accelerating

Anyone repeating these fake stats is either being dishonest or is innumerate For these lives-saved figures to be even remotely accurate, c19 would have had to become more dangerous after the vax rollout
I've known @John_LaMattina for 25 years, and it worries me when he worries. So here's why the former head of $PFE R&D, once referred to as "Dr. Optimistic" is concerned now. https://t.co/W9VYOdvEAK

Former CDC Director Mandy Cohen: "Many state laws follow CDC or ACIP recommendations in defining required vaccines for school or child care entry" The vaccine promoters love to say that ACIP doesn't technically mandate anything, but in effect they do.
@jakescottMD as usual, you're incredibly dishonest. we all know now how the game works---acip recs create de facto mandates, since state level public health officials are midwits who simply take their guidance from CDC.

Obv idiotic on many levels but funny thing about this video is that flu vax supposedly takes two weeks to work....which would be after Christmas
Flu cases are on the rise. Protect yourself and your loved ones. Flu shots and updated COVID-19 vaccines are safe, effective, and widely available. Schedule yours today: https://t.co/x4RBSr9CVN

So AAP lost some of their government funding? FAFO
The American Academy of Pediatrics has just published a new policy statement, explicitly endorsing the elimination of all non-medical (including religious or personal belief) vaccine exemptions. "The AAP recommends that all states, territories, and the District of Columbia
