These aren’t experts. The ACIP, CDC, and FDA have been compromised.

Vaccinate your kids based on AAP recommendations to protect them and your community.

A new Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) workgroup will review childhood and adolescent immunization schedules, a move that infectious disease experts caution could be another step in the revamped panel's upending of childhood vaccination policies.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune distanced himself from President Donald Trump’s Health Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr, during an interview with MSNBC’s Ali Vitali on Thursday.

His comments came after it was claimed in September that women taking Tylenol while pregnant was a leading cause of autism.

When asked if Kennedy’s rhetoric on public health was dangerous, Thune said, “Well, I – I’ve said that I think that if I were a woman, I’d be talking to my doctor and not taking, you know, advice from RFK or any other government bureaucrat, for that matter.”

MAHA thinks that reintroducing childhood diseases instead of vaccines is somehow healthy.

The return of Measles and Polio won’t make America great again. It will make us sicker and will massively drive up healthcare costs.

The anti-science movement is killing people and destroying advancements in public health.

The results of a large study in France are consistent with previous research indicating that Covid vaccination is safe and effective in pregnancy.

Precisely. Why would you choose to suffer all the consequences of catching a dangerous disease just to get immunity to that disease, when you could get the same immunity much more safely by getting a vaccine?

ALT TEXT: an image of a tweet by user Health Nerd . It reads:

All immunity against disease is natural. We can generate that natural immunity dangerously, by getting sick, or more safely, by getting a vaccine, but it's still all your body doing its thing

Most of you have never looked at side effects people experienced in the placebo arm of the Covid vaccine trials.

I had a productive conversation recently with someone who claimed their friend died from the covid vaccine. After asking several questions genuinely curious about what happened, it turns out they were having health problems for a couple months, ended up in the hospital during the pandemic, caught covid in the hospital and the died from complications of covid.

It’s not easy combatting nonsense. I see people frequently make terrible health decisions based off misinformation on the internet.

Conspiracy theories about health fill a vacuum created by the lack of doctors in many rural communities. Meanwhile, doctors in these areas say patients have become increasingly distrustful and sometimes hostile.

I see lots of dairy intolerance. Just because you tolerated cheese, milk, or ice cream at 18 doesn’t mean you can now at 30+. It becomes more common as you get older. Usually yogurt isn’t as big of a problem.

Studies show that it may not be dairy itself that causes digestive issues. Instead, it may be the A1 protein found in most cow milk.

When you expand the diagnosis criteria and screen more kids then you get more diagnoses.

More children are getting diagnosed with autism than ever before.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has promised to find out why.

Autism has a strong genetic component, scientists say, and some known risk factors such as older parental age might have contributed to the increase. Some think environmental exposures that haven’t yet been identified could also have played a role.

But to explain the bulk of the rise—from one in 150 8-year-old children in 2000 to one in 31 in 2022—many doctors and scientists point to how the diagnosis itself has morphed over time.
