Global Health Faculty Fellows Dr. Bonnie Maldonado and @sethahoffmanmd.bsky.social contributed to this timely report about aluminum salts in childhood vaccines, reviewing nearly a century of evidence about key safety concerns.

#medsky #pedsky #idsky #immunosky #episky I collaborated with exceptionally talented people in infectious diseases to write this Special Article about aluminum salts in childhood vaccines. We review the evidence base for key safety concerns and offer guidance for communication with caregivers.

Now we have a presentation from Griffin on aluminum adjuvants, which I'm sure will be a very fun experience from me. I will note that there is no inclusion of this on the latest agenda, though it was there in previous versions.

We now have Tracy Høeg's presentation on the US vs. the Danish schedule. She begins by saying she would pay to watch a debate between Siri and Meissner, which is very telling in that it shows that to her, issues of vaccination are a spectacle, rather than tangible, potentially life-or-death choices.

Brief 🧵 Hi, everyone. I know so many people have been affected by the funding cuts to science in horrific ways. Sanaria, the company I am consulting for, has produced unprecedented progress in a highly effective malaria vaccine and is in major financial jeopardy because of these cuts.

“Measles is the most infectious virus we know. However, it’s a harbinger of low vaccination rates, and it is quite likely we will start seeing outbreaks of other diseases that are vaccine preventable as well as these vaccine rates decrease." www.cnn.com/2025/02/26/h...

If people are interested in learning about the ACIP and its decades of contributions to US vaccine policy successes, here’s a short 2014 piece I wrote in NEJM with Adel Mahmoud (timed with its 50th anniversary) www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

A Half-Century of Prevention — The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices | NEJM

In 1964, after a vaccination program against polio, diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis began, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices was created to advise the U.S. government on vaccinati...

I can't underscore this enough- Kennedy's word is worthless. He says whatever he needs to say to maximize the power he holds and he tells baldfaced lies without flinching (just look at his confirmation hearings). He actively ignores the evidence- it's been shown to him many times.

Creationists sometimes speak very beautifully about science too. Be serious, we know what Kennedy believes. All such a speech suggests is that he might intend to subvert the agency to his ends instead of destroying it wholesale.

I commend Dr. Kennedy-Meltzer on the courage of sharing this with the public. I beseech people to see reason: there is no one more anti-qualified to serve as secretary of HHS. www.statnews.com/2025/01/28/k... www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...
