Matthew Cortland: "Dolly Parton understood something that too many of my public health colleagues have not grasped: a good idea isn't sufficient — you have to sell it. So she got vaccinated in front of cameras, and literally begged her fans to not hesitate, to vaccinate — to a reworking of Jolene"

Heidi Overton, Trump's nominee to lead the #FDA, is unqualified and spreads dangerous misinformation about #vaccines, #ReproductiveHealth and #GenderAffirmingCare. Tell your senators she must NOT lead FDA: https://www.defendpublichealth.org/campaign/write-your-senators-oppose-overton-fda

The disease was declared eliminated in the #US in 2000, but more cases have been recorded in the past year & a half than there have been in the previous 25 years combined. Experts expect the US will lose its elimination status, or the recognition by the WHO that #measles is no longer transmitting regularly within a country.

Standford model projects hundreds of thousands of deaths if current #vaccines policy persists - “The United States has a measles problem again, and it is the direct result of policy choices being made in Washington right now. The disease was declared eliminated here in 2000. It is now on the verge of returning to endemic status, and the federal government is actively weakening the tools that would stop it.”

The Importance of Vaccines: My MMR Booster Journey
Last week, my wife and I went to get boosters for Covid and flu. Covid is making a late summer resurgence, so it made sense to do that. Jenni also needed Shingrix, so she added that one. Admittedly, there were some uncomfortable days behind that choice.

@GeraldKutney #Trump thinks he's qualified to issue Executive Orders about #vaccines, too, & is shutting down #climate #research & other forms of #scientific, #biomedical & #scholarly research. He hates #science, he hates #knowledge - but thinks his abysmal #ignorance, not to mention #stupidity, makes him an "expert" on EVERYTHING!

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/aug/20/the-guardian-view-on-trumps-mmr-executive-order-endangering-the-children-he-claims-to-care-about. This is utterly irresponsible, & will kill #American #children. Donald #Trump is NOT an #expert on #vaccines, he is NOT a #doctor, & yet he presumes to issue an Executive Order advising States to offer #parents separate vaccines for measles, mumps & rubella, instead of the combined #MMR #vaccine, when the separate vaccines aren't even available.

"Moderna shares surge as Merck-partnered melanoma vaccine cuts recurrence in large trial.
Moderna's (MRNA.O), opens new tab personalized mRNA cancer therapy, developed with Merck (MRK.N), opens new tab, reduced the risk of recurrence and spread of skin cancer in a late-stage trial when combined with immunotherapy drug Keytruda, sending Moderna's shares up around 150% to multi-year highs.
Thousands of patients who have undergone surgery for high-risk melanoma could benefit as soon as next year, Moderna President Stephen Hoge said in an interview." -
