    "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."

    If vaccines caused autism shouldn’t we also see a drop in autism?

    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.

    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.

    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.
