Timing matters for vaccines. Here’s why bit.ly/3OTdikk

An Idaho mom blamed vaccines when her twins died. RFK Jr.'s former anti-vax group amplified her story for months. Now she's indicted for their murders, and the movement is still defending her. MAHA & #MAGA doesn't protect kids. It protects a narrative. #MAHA #VaccinesWork

Recent COVID-19 Vaccination and Risk of SARS-CoV-2 Transmission - PMC https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC13179551/ “Household contacts of primary case participants vaccinated 6 months or less before onset had nearly one-half the infection risk compared with contacts of unvaccinated primary case participants.” #SARSCoV2 #COVID #VaccinesWork

RT by @EU_Partnerships: Amahani, 2, was vaccinated against polio 💧 in Chad. With support from @EIB and @EU_Commission 🇪🇺, more children like Amahani are protected every day, moving us closer than ever to a polio-free world. #EndPolio #VaccinesWork

Hegseth Dropped Military Flu V...

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.

These dumb 🤬

A major localized #flu #outbreak is currently affecting hundreds of new #MilitaryRecruits at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland in Texas. The outbreak began after “Defense” Secretary Pete #Hegseth made flu #vaccines optional in April, causing #vaccination rates to plummet to around 40%.

Vaccines teach our immune system to recognise and fight specific germs—no infection needed. 🌱

- They’re rigorously tested for safety.
- Different formats exist (live‑attenuated, mRNA, protein subunit, etc.).
- Widespread immunisation cuts disease spread, protects the vulnerable, and eases strain on health systems.

💉 Current evidence does not support direct (causal) links between aluminium-boosted vaccines and serious or long-term health outcomes, including autism, diabetes and asthma, according to a review

This World Immunization […]

Vaccines protect people at every stage of life: from a child’s first days through adulthood and beyond. Vaccination is about care, prevention and giving every generation the chance to learn, grow and thrive https://bit.ly/4mH2HWi #VaccinesWork #WorldImmunizationWeek

"During waves 5 and 6, the cumulative incident rates of ICU admission and all-cause in-hospital deaths were significantly higher for unvaccinated patients compared with fully vaccinated patients and patients fully vaccinated with an additional dose."

🔥 This is infuriating. 1,700+ measles cases in the U.S. in 2026 — a disease we eliminated 25 years ago. Kids are getting sick because vaccination rates collapsed and leaders won’t defend science. This was preventable. 💉🤬 #Measles #PublicHealth #VaccinesWork #CDC

"The first thing to do if someone expresses uncertainty about vaccines to you, say researchers, is not to judge or dismiss them. It’s wrong to assume that people are ignorant, irrational or have naively swallowed online misinformation. A lot of people have genuine and legitimate questions..."

I guess, the main point is that there are risks associated with vaccines, but that the diseases that they prevent are much worse. #vaccine #vaccines #vaccination #VaccineSafety #VaccineSideEffects #VaccinesWork

"Modeling Reemergence of Vaccine-Eliminated Infectious Diseases Under Declining Vaccination in the US"

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2833361

"At current state-level vaccination rates, measles may become endemic again; increasing vaccine coverage would prevent this. Under a 50% decline in childhood vaccination in the US, the simulation model predicted 51.2 million #measles cases over a 25-year period, 9.9 million #rubella cases, 4.3 million #poliomyelitis cases, 197 #diphtheria cases, 10.3 million hospitalizations, and 159,200 deaths."

Note that the graphic is labeled "25% decline in childhood vaccination" not 50%. I think this is because the authors wanted an "average" of their models for the graphic. Bottom line: It's bad at 25% and can only get worse! Also note that the #measles numbers are much larger because it is so much more contagious!

People... this would be an *appalling* outcome of the current anti-vax, anti-science, anti-child confusion and policies of the current #Trump administration!
