Nice to know we can keep the separate vaccines but thanks to this joke of ACIP for causing our 12 month old may have to get a 2nd jab 😑 Glad I got my toddler her MMRV booster earlier this year!
Elizabeth Jacobs, PhD@elizabethjacobs.bsky.social · 11mo agoAbout the combined MMR and varicella vaccine (MMRV), ACIP has just voted to *not* recommend MMRV before the age of 4 years. This will not change access to MMR and varicella separately.

THIS IS ACTUALLY WASTEFUL SPENDING. So if the Fed is looking for waste, fraud, and abuse they should start here. Vaccines don't cause autism and its been proven again and again
CDC plans study on vaccines and autism despite research showing no link
President Donald Trump and HHH Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. have repeatedly raised the idea that autism could be linked to vaccines.

This is an excellent response. The federal government can not restrict what individual faculty or University programs teach. That is our right to free speech and academic freedom. All Universities should respond similarly to these threats.
Josh Chafetz@joshchafetz.bsky.social · last yr.With his permission, I'm sharing Dean Treanor's response to Ed Martin's letter:
Being a patient can be so frustrating. Saw a specialist and they want me to follow up in 4-6 weeks. Great, I have PTO in exactly 4 weeks and plenty of flexibility! Dr has literally not a single available appt in HIS recommended f/u time frame. Just waiting on a cancellation I guess 🤷🏻♀️ #MedSky
Meanwhile we're experiencing the worst flu season of my career. Not only more flu patients than I've seen but also sicker patients. #IDSky

RFK Jr.’s CDC just pulled a flu vaccine campaign in the middle of the worst flu season in 30 years. 29 million illnesses, 370,000 hospitalizations, and 16,000 deaths—including nearly 70 children. Public health shouldn't be political. Get vaccinated.

Last season’s flu vaccine prevented 9.8 million illnesses and 7,900 deaths nationwide, the CDC says.

Not only were all childhood vaccines studied more rigorously than nearly any other medical therapeutic before ending up on the vaccine schedule, we also have years of data on BILLIONS of administrations since. No other medical interventions have been tested as rigorously as childhood vaccines have.
Elizabeth Jacobs, PhD@elizabethjacobs.bsky.social · last yr.Every single vaccine in the childhood schedule has been subjected to the highest level of scrutiny for any medical product. Because vaccines are given to an otherwise healthy population, safety and effectiveness are essential.
