BREAKING: Texas pharmacies are running out of MMR vaccines as the measles outbreak spirals.

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025. This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a dual-antibody treatment that remains effective against ALL SARS-CoV-2 variants by targeting a less-mutable part of the virus. This breakthrough could lead to longer-lasting therapies that OUTPACE viral evolution. 🧪🧵⬇️

These guys lie so easily — especially Senator Rick Scott, who presided over the biggest Medicare fraud scam in history (but never saw the inside of a prison cell)

"Measles" !

Infectious Disease expert Dr. Nahid Bhadelia on my SiriusXM show rejects the misinfo from RFK Jr and others that there is a treatment for measles. As Dr. Bhadelia made clear: There is NO treatment that cures measles. The ONLY way to prevent measles is to get the vaccine!

For the first time in 12 years, Rhode Island has reported a case of the measles.

Wow! Very exciting and also very humbling to see this. Amazing leadership from our INRB and ITM colleagues and tireless efforts from all of the field and lab teams👇

BREAKING: The CDC is planning a large study looking into potential connections between vaccines and autism, two sources told Reuters, despite significant research showing vaccines and autism are not linked. #medsky www.medpagetoday.com/neurology/au...

Texas cities are running low on the MMR vaccine as measles outbreaks expand and drive demand. The measles epidemic in Texas is growing rapidly, and demand for the MMR vaccine has become overwhelming. Pharmacies are struggling to maintain supplies. Some pharmacy locations report the supply of the..

This Administration is turning its back on science. If you never had the measles or polio, thank science. If you use a smartphone as easily as a computer, thank science. If you want to know if it will be raining tomorrow, thank science. A total disaster is coming. apnews.com/article/trum...

I got your waste, fraud, and abuse right here

Vaccines. Fluoride. Measles.

Measles parties - the deliberate act of exposing oneself or one's child to an infected person to build immunity. Do we really need to say this? They're a bad idea. www.wired.com/story/measle...

Measles is preventable. Misinformation kills.
