"The best and the worst thing about vaccination is that it 'makes nothing happen.'
A child successfully inoculated against measles doesn’t fall sick with that condition, doesn’t miss school, doesn’t go to the hospital. They don’t suffer life-changing complications. They don’t die prematurely."
Dr. Paul Offit from last week's Roundtable on Vaccines:
"The problem is not only that we've largely eliminated these diseases...we've eliminated the memory of these diseases. Parents are now more scared of the safety of vaccines, real or imagined, then the diseases they prevent."
RFK, Jr. has spent the last 20 years speaking out against vaccines.
But he claims he's not anti-vax.
Is he right?
Watch THE TRUTH ABOUT RFK JR.
Childhood vaccine rates in the USA have been dropping since 2020.
If vaccines caused autism shouldn’t we also see a drop in autism?
Measles outbreak expands in West Texas around county with low vaccination rate.
"MMR coverage is particularly low in Gaines County, where nearly 1 in 5 incoming kindergartners in the 2023-24 school year did not get the vaccine."

More bad news for the "vaccines are killing millions" crowd!
Researchers in Norway conducted a study examining all-cause mortality between 2021-2023 from the population, over 4.6 million people.
In all age groups, the rate of death was lowest among those who were fully vaccinated.
In 1962 author Roald Dahl's oldest child Olivia was infected with measles.
Days later she died from encephalitis, an inflammation of the brain.
This was one year before the first measles vaccine.
In 1986 he wrote a heartfelt letter to parents about the importance of vaccines.
The measles outbreak in Texas has doubled to 48 cases.
"All of the cases are in unvaccinated people or those who have unknown vaccination status. Most cases are in children 5 to 17 years old.
Among the 48 cases, 13 have been hospitalized."
The book "Cause Unknown" was published by RFK, Jr.'s anti-vaccine group in 2022.
It argues that COVID-19 vaccines caused sudden deaths.
On the cover the tragic death of 12-year-old Braden Fahey is shown.
There's just one problem.
Braden Fahey was never vaccinated for COVID-19.
In 1985 in Africa 25 vaxxed children were compared with 25 unvaxxed for 5 years.
In the vaxxed group one got mild measles while 4 had suspected whooping cough.
Among the unvaxxed 11 got measles leading to 2 deaths & an unvaxxed child died of tetanus.
This is why we don't do these studies anymore.
BREAKING: Anti-vaccine researcher David Geier has been chosen by RFK, Jr. to lead the government study on vaccines & autism.
Both Geier & his father have have published papers claiming vaccines increase risk of autism.
Geier was charged for practicing medicine without a license in May 2011.
"A measles outbreak in Texas has grown to 58 confirmed cases, local health officials confirmed to CBS News Tuesday, making it the state's worst in over 30 years — and officials say additional cases are likely.
At least 13 people have been hospitalized in the outbreak so far."
A tragic death from measles in Texas today.
The school-aged child who was not vaccinated was hospitalized in Lubbock last week.
This was a preventable death.
Thank you @mcuban.bsky.social for the shoutout!
Dr. Oliver & Professor Morris are two of the best science communicators we have & I'm honored to be mentioned with them!
While the science world may look dark right now that only means we have to work harder to turn on the light.
In 2011 researchers In England did something that had never been done before.
They compared rates of autism in children to adults.
They concluded that the rates were similar.
If the reported rise in autism was actually real this would not be possible.
"A measles outbreak in Texas is continuing to grow, reaching 124 cases.
Almost all of the cases are in unvaccinated individuals or individuals whose vaccination status is unknown & 18 people have been hospitalized so far."

This morning RFK, Jr. passed through the Finance Committee all but clearing the way for his confirmation as head of HHS.
This is a dark day for America.
In 2 weeks anti-vaxxers will have to immediately cease all attacks on the CDC, NIH, FDA, HHS & public health for at least 4 years.
According to my calculations this eliminates 95% of their arguments.
If we don't see improved health outcomes or if things get worse it's now on them.
RFK, Jr. looks like a deer in headlights when confronted by his own previous statements on vaccines & AIDS.
This man isn’t qualified.
🚨 Another vaccine myth goes DOWN!
A new JAMA study compared prevalence of sudden cardiac arrest in young athletes in the 3 years before & after the COVID-19 pandemic.
They found no difference.
Myocarditis was the cause of SCD in 3 cases before & 4 cases during the pandemic.
Three teenagers have died from the flu this season, according to San Diego County's latest respiratory virus data.
"The teenagers were not vaccinated, public health officials said. Neither are 80% of 5- to 17-year-olds in San Diego County, which is far below the national average."
Trump announces plans to “evaluate” the entire childhood vaccine schedule.
This was always the plan when RFK Jr. took power.
Those who enabled this have blood on their hands.
