Many of us encounter anti-vaccine advocates. One of their most common tactics is the Gish Gallop - a flood of half-truths, anecdotes, and irrelevant claims designed to overwhelm rather than debate honestly. Sadly, can be highly effective on people not well versed in vaccine science. #immunosky

@altnps.bsky.social One of the most amazing park rangers was just fired yesterday without notice. He used to come to our high school all the time and was a highlight of our school years. He has a young family, too. www.facebook.com/share/15onFu...

RFK Jr. is trying to rebrand his anti-vax extremism as “vaccine safety.” His years of fearmongering have led to falling vaccination rates, deadly measles outbreaks, and COVID misinformation. Giving him control over HHS is a public health disaster in the making. www.bloomberg.com/op... 1/2

FYI the only reason we were successful in building the Panama Canal is thanks to doctors and researchers that established infectious disease protocols, removed standing water, and prevented mosquito borne illness. Science and evidence based decisions work.

Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Today we remember his effort and ultimate sacrifice to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion. I believe DEI is valuable and needed. It recognizes our past, our present, and our future. It’s sad a force takes power today that seeks to dismantle this progress.
