That’s pretty cool! Staph. aureus ist einfach wirklich nasty… Könnte mir das z.B. als Prophylaxe bei schwerer Influenza-Pneumonie vorstellen, die ja häufig mit einer SA-Superinfektion zu kämpfen haben

RFK has absolutely no idea what he's talking about. He should absolutely not be leading HHS. Everyone used to get #measles, and it led to 400-500 child deaths every year—plus severe complications like encephalitis & pneumonia You know what actually provides lifelong immunity? The MMR vaccine.

RFK Jr: "It used to be that everybody got measles. And the measles gave you lifetime protection against measles infection. The vaccine doesn't do that ... it used to be that very young kids were protected by breast milk. Women who get vaccinated do not provide that level of immunity."

The gift that keeps on giving… If only we could do something about that… Ah right: thoughts and prayers, Clarithromycin and cod liver oil… 🤯
