Great explanation of the risk vs benefits of COVID-19 vaccination for all, including children. COVID-19 has caused 1700 childhood deaths and about 1 in 5 children have long-COVID-19 symptoms. The risks from the vaccine are low and rare. #IDSky #PedsIDsky #RxSky jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Weakening our nation’s vaccine infrastructure will lead to significantly lower immunization rates and result in many more outbreaks of serious, vaccine-preventable hospitalizations and deaths. Congress must hold Secretary Kennedy accountable for these actions. (1/2)

Scientific advancements aside, this is economically irresponsible Every $1 spent by NIH generates $2.46 For example, in 2023, $47B in NIH spending generated ~$93B Halting NIH spending will LOSE the US a lot of money (and talent)
