HHS has ordered CDC to stop its influenza vaccine “Wild to Mild” media campaign. This is an award-winning campaign that effectively explains how influenza vaccine may not prevent infection but does decrease illness severity. We are currently having one of the worst influenza seasons in 15 years.

It is often said that every disaster movie starts with a scientist being ignored. The current one has started with tens of thousands of scientists being ignored by the U.S. government, delivering us to a place where “science” is whatever information supports a person’s already entrenched beliefs.

I see more criticism here of Democrats in Congress than I do condemnation of Republicans. And yet it is the GOP who are enabling Trump. It tells me a lot when I see you regularly bash our side but say nothing, ever, about the other. Reflect on your choices. You may be helping the fascists.

Flu season is hitting hard, with the most intense surge in 15 years—forcing school closures and overwhelming hospitals. Yet, flu vaccination rates remain low. Public health info must be transparent, and vaccines are key to protection. #BlueSky

Pausing health alerts from the health agencies like the CDC and FDA is reckless. Health alerts from CDC notify health care providers of new outbreaks, critical medication shortages, etc. FDA alerts share important information about medication safety. This is outright dangerous.

I heard RFK Jr. is floating the banning of the polio vaccine so seems like a good time to remind folks that RFK Jr. was vaccinated with this same vaccine & therefore is at no risk of harm himself Kinda like when he publicly was against the covid vaccine yet privately required his guests to have it🙃
