  1. #RFKJr, then a prominent #AntiVax activist, preceded the visit with a letter to the Samoan prime minister requesting to study the Pacific island nation’s #measles, #mumps & #rubella [ #MMR ] #vaccines after the deaths of 2 children who had received them. In the letter, he used the words vaccine or vaccination 8 times.

  2. An #IntensiveCare doc looks at the #Trump order on #vaccines:
    "If the schedule is changed, the costs will be measured over time. Today in the form of more sick kids with #measles. Two decades out in the form of meningococcal #meningitis in a college freshman who wasn't 'high-risk' until the dorm outbreak. Three decades out in the form of congenital #rubella in the pregnancy of a woman whose split MMR doses were started but never finished. Forty years out in the child born in 2027 who never received the hepatitis B birth dose and reaches my #ICU around 2066 with a failing liver tied to a chronic infection acquired at birth."

  3. This article makes good points.

    Notably:

    • It's not currently possible in the #USA to give #MMR as separate injections "as there are no separately licensed #vaccines for #measles, #mumps & #rubella and the licensing process takes years."

    • Breaking the MMR #vaccine up into 3 separate #vaccinations would put "financial & logistical strain on families & medical providers by creating several additional visits."

    Former surgeons general: RFK Jr. actions ‘endangering the health of the nation’

    by Max Rego – 10/08/25 3:57 PM ET

    Six former surgeons general criticized Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in a Tuesday op-ed in The Washington Post.

    Editor’s Note: I recommend reading also the WP article: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/10/07/surgeons-general-rfk-jr-robert-kennedy/

    “The actions of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are endangering the health of the nation,” the group said. “Never before have we issued a joint public warning like this. But the profound, immediate and unprecedented threat that Kennedy’s policies and positions pose to the nation’s health cannot be ignored.”

    The former surgeons general behind the op-ed were Vivek Murthy, Jerome Adams, Richard Carmona, David Satcher, Joycelyn Elders and Antonia Novello. Murthy, Elders and Satcher were appointed by Democratic presidents, while Adams, Carmona and Novello were appointed by Republican presidents. 

    In their op-ed, the former surgeons general said that under Kennedy, the “foundations of our nation’s public health system have been undermined.” They specifically criticized the HHS secretary’s longstanding claims that childhood vaccines are linked to autism, his handling of measles outbreaks throughout the country, his recommendation against pregnant women taking Tylenol and his upheaval of a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) vaccine advisory panel. 

    In June, Kennedy removed all 17 members of the CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), saying it was necessary to restore trust in vaccines. Kennedy has since replaced those panel members with individuals who have expressed skepticism about the effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccine.

    The ACIP’s recommendations must be approved by the CDC director before being implemented. In August, Kennedy removed former Director Susan Monarez from the post after just weeks on the job. Monarez later said she refused to preapprove the committee’s decisions.

    On Monday, the CDC accepted the ACIP’s recommendation that individuals receive the COVID-19 vaccine after consulting with a health provider. Later in the day, acting CDC Director Jim O’Neill called on vaccine manufacturers to split up the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine into three separate shots, taking the same stance as President Trump.

  6. Dr. #SusanMonarez raised concerns about a #vaccine panel that will meet on
    Thurs, after #Health Secy #RFKJr fired all 17 members in June, eventually appointing others to take their place. “There is real risk that recommendations could be made restricting access to
    #vaccines for #children & others in need without rigorous scientific review,” she said. The panel will discuss #Covid vaccines, the #hepatitisB vaccine & the #measles, #mumps, #rubella [#MMR] & #varicella vaccines.

  7. Hey MAGA: do you realize that when Blue states come together to make vaccines available and Red states ban them, you’ll be dead and we won’t?
