  3. ICYMI (I did): #FDA has accepted the recommendation of its expert panel, #VRBPAC & recommended that Covid-19 vaccine manufacturers make a monovalent targeting the JN.1 lineage XFG variant.
    How will #CDC handle the change? It would normally go to #ACIP but it's in limbo. fda.gov/vaccines-blood-biologi

  4. Because the U.S. government is no longer science based, we are forced to have to inform the public ourselves:

    Medical Groups Redouble Efforts on Vaccine, Infectious Disease Recommendations

    physician specialty organizations are diving headlong into efforts to inform clinicians and the public about infectious disease, covering everything from the safety of influenza vaccination and who should receive it when to how to respond to ongoing measles outbreaks.

    The groups say their vigorous participation is necessary in the face of a resource-strapped CDC, the ongoing limbo status of the agency’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), and, in the case of measles, little communication to the public from federal health officials, aside from a weekly update on ever-rising case counts.

    With the CDC not doing as much public outreach as in the past, “this is where professional societies have really had to shine and step in,” said Jeanne Marrazzo, MD, MPH, chief executive officer of the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA), on a call with reporters. “We have never taken quite such an aggressive stance in terms of countering misinformation, getting information out there,” said Marrazzo.

    RFK Jr. forced to withdraw charter that opened CDC panel to anti-vaccine quacks

    Charter would have expanded member eligibility and focused on alleged injuries.

  6. A judge ruled that Kennedy's vaccine committee violated its own charter rules concerning expertise qualifications...

    So guess what Kennedy's doing?

    Yep. Rewriting the rules.

  7. #ACIP meeting slated for March 18 & 19 -- and they're going to be taking about covid vaccine injury.

    If you were giving of getting a covid vaccine booster this spring -- maybe you get the vaccine twice a year because of health risks -- you might want to get it before the meeting.

  8. @GhostOnTheHalfShell @bettycjung.bsky.social Unfortunately this is the real-time experiment on the U.S. population that #ACIP chair Kirk Milhoan said he wants to have by repealing #vaccination requirements. We're all guinea pigs and the cost will be counted in corpses.

  9. Members of the #federal #vaccine panel chosen by #Health Secy #RFKJr are setting sights on their next targets: the mRNA #Covid shots, & #vaccines offered to pregnant women.

    The panel, called the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices [#ACIP], already has imposed some limits on access to Covid vaccines & has rescinded recommendations for some routine childhood shots.

  10. An article summarizing the new head of the ACIP's outlook on vaccination policy makes for a dispiriting start to the week.

    theguardian.com/us-news/2026/f

    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.

  11. The new chair of the #ACIP was on the Why Should I Trust You? podcast. The interview was ... enlightening. Among other things, Kirk Milhoan seemed to question whether kids still need to be vaccinated against polio & said he doesn't like “established science.” statnews.com/2026/01/22/vaccin

  12. Instead of carefully considering scientific evidence, #ACIP “just sort of went with the vibes and their vibe is, ‘If you identify Asian people somewhere near your child, then maybe you should get them a hep B vaccine,’ which is completely insane," Daskalakis said. www.cidrap.umn.edu/childhood-va...

  14. #ACIP just voted to end universal #hepatitis B #vaccination. You know the thing that keeps babies alive? And now anti vaxxers will be able to point to a #scientific panel and be like see even they agree that babies should be unprotected and die from preventable #diseases.

    Please if you have a #baby protect that baby by #vaccinating them and yourselves.

  15. Parents who want to follow the new advice of the #ACIP & delay or decline to vaccinate their infants against #hepatitisB could encounter logistical problems vaccinating those babies against polio, pertussis & other serious illnesses, experts warn. statnews.com/2025/12/12/cdc-ac

  16. “Children will acquire hepatitis B and die as a result of these recommendations,” said Aaron Milstone, MD. My colleagues or I, not a committee member, will be the ones supporting the parents of a dying child.” #CDC #ACIP www.cidrap.umn.edu/childhood-va... @[email protected]

  17. Yes, if you follow me, you're getting tired of this. But for the Sunday audience, here's another good summary of the problems with this week's #ACIP decision to stop recommending a hepatitis B (#HepB) #vaccine for all children at birth.

  18. "Our nation’s public health is not in good hands." — Public health lawyer Dorit Reiss breaks down this week's gobsmacking meeting of #CDC's vaccine advisory panel, #ACIP.
