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

T-regs for the win! Love to see immunologists win the Nobel prize. The discovery of Foxp3 expressing T-regulatory cells has transformed our understanding of how the immune system does not attack itself. It used to be thought that the thymus was the gate keeper. in the late

Shattered by the passing of Jane Goodall. She showed how one person’s love for the forest can change the world. She inspired 1 Trillion Trees & reminded us never to lose hope. I love you, Jane, & will miss you deeply. May the one who brings peace bring peace to all. ❤️

Jane Goodall inspired generations. not only to study primates and people, but to be caring and courageous scientists and humans. She was my first major scientific inspiration from as early as I can remember. She leaves a huge legacy and will be missed https://t.co/aIlzjRkkqa

Does the HepB vaccine need to be given on the day of birth? Or can it wait 8 weeks? Here, two experts discuss their differing views: Myself and @DrPaulOffit If you want to hear two differing sides from 2 vaccine experts, take a listen! Thanks @WSITYpod

I am grateful to everyone who contributed to this - to @michaelmina_lab , to @DrPaulOffit and to @WSITYpod for hosting the conversation

The very first shot a baby gets is now under review. Should the Hep B “birth dose” stay the starting point of America’s vaccine schedule, or be delayed to rebuild trust? We asked @DrPaulOffit & @michaelmina_lab, take a listen here: https://t.co/qM3mMakrhE

We are witnessing the great fracturing of public health in America With CDC increasingly defunct and no longer providing credible guidance States are going to go their own way And whether your kid gets protected against polio or measles will be driven by where you live

One must wonder why… of all the things the U.S. & HHS have on their plate: Why revert back to the term “monkeypox” after a successful US and global shift to “mpox” Monkeypox is 1) inaccurate and 2) excessively stigmatizing My view: simple provocation

Deeply saddened by the loss of David Baltimore - a mentor, role model, and scientific giant who shaped so many of us. Most memorably, I was sitting next to David, a month after I started as a baby Assistant Professor, when I learned about CRISPR. His kindness and wisdom will be

We kicked off the 19th Vaccine Congress in Kyoto yesterday with an awesome symposium organized by Ken Ishii and the Japanese Scociety for Vaccinology (and AMED/SCARDA). It was amazing to see what Japan is doing to prepare for the next pandemic and how well coordinated it is.

Looks like the U.S. Dept of Energy has lost so much institutional and general knowledge that it lost its ability to think about the existence of an invention called a battery. To US DoE: Hint - It’s a thing that you have put a LOT of money into in recent years.

This reaction to do away w all vaccines is just stupid It's built on distrust (admittedly accelerated by COVID-vaccine mandates - which I did not support) BUT also it is built on ignorance of the diseases we've been so lucky to not have to think about or address for so long

Given that vaccines are not created equal: We shouldn't do away w all vaccine mandates, including the massively beneficial ones (As FL is currently doing) just because COVID-vaccine mandates hinged on thinking that, frankly, went far against the transmission data at the time

In COVID, this was rarely stated and in general the public health establishment tended to lump all vaccines together - promising that COVID vaccines would stop transmission - and this formed the basis for mandates. Equivalency wasn't true then and its not true now - so....

Not all vaccines are created equal Some (like MMRV) actually do stop transmission - and do so for decades/life Other vaccines have weak if any protection against transmission and are shorter lived It has much more to do with the virus and how it replicates than the vaccine..
