Humanity lifespan length tripled & its infant mortality plummeted b/c of 3 major contributors: clean water, antibiotics, #vaccines. mRNA vaccines, the newest members of that family, are truly a marvel: they can be produced & fine-tuned quickly, & leave no harmful remnants. This makes them ideal to fight viral diseases (see: COVID). They also show remarkable promise against some cancers (so far: melanoma, pancreas, breast, lung). Obstacles to this #research are robbing us of vital tools. #science

Not so fast...
Turns out the COVID booster is not yet available and our (very kind) pharmacist doesn't know when it will be.
"It's coming, we're just not sure when" he said. "Probably mid-September."
Since irony is dead, does wishing for RFK Jr to catch COVID make me a bad person?

After 2 #measles deaths in Pennsylvania, "Kennedy’s recent social media remarks continue a pattern that’s been evident since he took on his role in the Trump administration: downplay the severity of measles, dispute his role in spreading misinformation about #vaccines, and attempt to focus attention elsewhere." https://www.statnews.com/2026/08/26/kennedy-vaccine-comments-reaction-josh-shapiro-jerome-adams/

#HHS RFK Jr. experimented on the inhabitants of Samoa and 83 people died of #measles. and lied about it. I wonder how many suffered permanent injury from elevated fever? #vaccines

#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.

Exclusive∶ #RFKJr said a Samoa trip had nothing to do with #vaccines. New documents refute that.
“Health” Secy RFKJr repeatedly told lawmakers who held the key to his confirmation last year that a 2019 visit to Samoa before a deadly #measles outbreak had “nothing to do with vaccines.” New documents obtained by The AP & The Guardian refute that testimony.

Pediatricians are warning that Trump’s push to slash routine childhood vaccine recommendations and split the MMR shot could leave more kids vulnerable to preventable disease. Apparently decades of medical progress needed a political focus group. #Vaccines

Yes!
True story: I’m now 74. About 40+ years ago, when I was much younger and stronger, the for-real flu literally almost killed me. Fever through the roof. Unconscious 23 hours out of 24. For days!
Thank god someone took good care of me!No-one has to go thru that!
Every year since then I’ve been scheduled for and gotten appropriate flu, pneumonia, measles, mumps, rubella, shingles, COVID and many other vaccines, and all with no ill effects other than an occasional sore shoulder that quickly goes away. Totally worth it.
Yes! It’s been scientifically proven: Vaccines save lives!
And yours could be one of them.
Don’t believe the propaganda against vaccines.
I’m living proof they work!

They refused antibiotics after surgery, but it wasn't the infection that killed them. It was their immune system. If they had taken better care of themselves, they would have survived.
-
They didn't put a tourniquet on, but it wasn't the loss of blood that killed them. It was their heart condition. Someone with a healthier heart would have survived.
-
They weren't wearing their seatbelt, but it wasn't the crash that killed them, it was their age. A younger person would have survived.

EDITORIAL: Treacherous anti-vax bilge in Colorado, everywhere endangers all our future
In Colorado, it’s still easy to say that you don’t want to vaccinate and cumbersome to prove that your child has their shots.

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"
