"#Vaccine opponents and skeptics in charge of federal health agencies -- starting at the top with #HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. -- are restricting access to #COVID shots ... The agencies are narrowing #vaccination recommendations, pushing drugmakers to perform costly clinical studies, and taking other steps that will result in fewer people getting protection from a virus that still kills hundreds each week in the U.S." medpagetoday.com/infectiousdis

The vast majority of lives saved – 101 million – were those of infants.

Globe and Mail publishing vax misinformation in the heat of Canada’s #measles outbreak. Fellow #GenX ers please take note: if you were born 1968-1973 you were indeed most likely vaccinated. Measles #vaccination in Canada began in 1964, not 1971 as this article claims!!! But *if you were born in BC, you were given a half-dose to save money*. And that means, if you were not one of the teens and preteens infected during the globally significant B.C. measles outbreak of 1986, you are NOT IMMUNE. 1/2

A MacLean’s magazine feature interview on measles outbreaks in Canada.

Chief of Pediatrics at St. Thomas General Hospital in Elgin County, Ontario, Dr. Asmaa Hussain:

‘“As for this outbreak, I saw the first case at the very end of November. I was on call at the hospital when a patient—a child—came in with respiratory problems. When I assessed him, I noticed an odd rash that looked very uncommon. I asked if they’d had any contact with someone with measles, and they said, “No.” I asked the patient if they were vaccinated, they said, “No.” So I checked with Public Health Ontario, who gave me the names of two reported cases two weeks earlier. I went back to this child’s parents, who confirmed those two reported cases were their neighbours. They said, “Oh, yes, but that was two weeks ago so we were safe.” I eventually found out they’d visited these neighbours a few days ago. “‘

This article made me angry for days when I was copyediting it. But I couldn’t talk about it because it hadn’t been published yet. Now I can. And it’s open-access so you can all read it.

Global health institutions allowed COVID-19 vaccinations to be locked up by patents. Moderna showed they could transfer their manufacturing methodologies to factories in places like South Africa. But those factories were forced to send doses to Europe and North America, while most Africans did not get COVID vaccinations.

There is a different model of medication manufacturing and distribution that is used with AUDS retrovirals for equitable distribution. It could have been used for COVID vaccines. But it wasn’t.And the same thing is now happening with Mpox.

Conover Kennard raises important questions about Health Secretary RFK Jr.'s credibility after his Mother's Day swim in contaminated waters. During a House hearing, he hesitated to answer vaccination questions regarding his children, even while acknowledging he might vaccinate against measles. This reluctance drew criticism from Rep. Rosa DeLauro, emphasizing the serious implications of vaccine-preventable diseases.
