  1. Oof, I did not expect the pneumonia vaccine to hit so hard! I barely have any reaction to flu or Covid, and I'm just grateful that the shingles vaccine is disappearing in my rearview mirror.
    My arm is all red and swollen and painful and the rest of me feels pretty crappy. But, not as bad as real pneumonia.

  2. Elizabeth Jacobs, PhD on Bluesky: "Just in time for the 2026-2027 vaccines, a new review shows that COVID19 vaccination significantly reduces the risk of severe illness and hospitalization across all age groups, including kids.

    Pregnant women were also protected, as were their babies.

    Don’t forget to schedule your vaccination!"

  3. Got a text from CVS recently that informs me the new Covid-19 vaccine will be available soon. Which makes me wonder:

    Are you getting the latest Covid vaccine?

  15. #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.

  16. #Measles Cases Hit New Record in #US, as #Vaccination Rates Wane

    The #Trump admin under #RFKJr’s #HHS has sent “mixed messages” on vaccinations against measles as cases have continued to climb. [RFKJr says don’t vax, while actual scientists & doctors attempt to counter his crazy]

  17. At least 222 basic training recruits have contracted the #flu, with some requiring #hospitalization. The #outbreak has been ongoing for roughly 3 weeks.

    Recruit Deaths—The #USAF is conducting a comprehensive medical review into the “sudden passing” of 25-yo-trainee Keon McDaniel, who suffered a medical emergency on June 12 & died on June 16.

  18. Great news: in the 5 years 2020-2024, know how many 20-24 year olds died of cervical cancer in England?

    ZERO.

    That's the first cohort of folks that age who were offered the HPV vaccine when they were 12 or 13.

    Before the vaccine was used, on average about 20 people in that age range died of cervical cancer in a 5 year span.

    We're looking forward to more dramatic results as that group enters their 30s & 40s.

  19. #RFKJr Is Driving a Vast Inquiry Into #Vaccines Despite Recent Public Silence

    “Health” Secy Robert F Kennedy Jr has toned down his public criticism of vaccines, under orders from the White House. But inside the #HHS, a sprawling “research” effort is top priority.

    #Zambia blasts the US over a $2 billion health deal in exchange for #CriticalMinerals

    By Farai Mutsaka and GERALD IMRAY, May 5, 2026

    HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) — "Zambia is accusing the United States of tying a $2 billion deal for critical health assistance to access to the southern African nation’s rich mineral assets, and calling the outgoing U.S. ambassador’s allegations of corruption 'mischievous' and 'undiplomatic.'

    "The comments by Zambia’s foreign affairs minister, #MulamboHaimbe, on Monday brought into the open simmering tensions over President Donald #Trump’s '#AmericaFirst' strategy, which is reshaping aid to #Africa into #transactional agreements.

    "Some African leaders and health experts have criticized the new U.S. stance and its demands for sensitive health data in exchange for badly needed support for health systems strained by the Trump administration’s dismantling of foreign aid. Some say they would not receive access to health innovations like #vaccines in return."

  22. The #measles, mumps & rubella [#MMR] #vaccine is safe & provides 97% protection against the #disease after 2 doses. Most #children in the #US are required to get the shot to attend school. But #vaccination rates have declined as more parents waive the shots or have fallen behind on recommended vaccination schedules.

  23. More than 250 people, including #children from 9 area elementary, middle & high schools, are in #quarantine — some for the second time since the #outbreak began in October. Most of the state’s new cases stemmed from exposures at Way of Truth Church in Inman. Church leaders have been “very helpful,” said state epidemiologist Dr. Linda Bell.

  24. There’s a reason I keep tagging #HealthyIfYoureWealthy, #SocialCleansing & #eugenics on #ACIP posts.

    While we can all say these people are nuts, we’re not listening to their advice, that’s great, but this “official” federal advisory committee’s guidelines are how #HealthInsurance determines what #vaccines they cover & what you have to pay out-of-pocket.

    Meaning #poor families won’t be able to #afford to choose differently than what these incompetent #ConsiracyTheorist #AntiVaxxers have chosen.

  25. #BillCassidy noted one of the presenters scheduled for Friday is a trial attorney who’s worked with #RFKJr to sue #vaccine makers.

    “He is presenting as if an expert on #childhood #vaccines,” Cassidy wrote. “The #ACIP is totally discredited. They are not protecting children.”
