People with #autism and their family members should be very concerned about Trump’s statement. He is cutting research into finding solutions. RKF Jr & Oz will increase stigma towards autism and cut funding for services so diagnosis rates will decline.

There is really only one thing standing between your community and outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases, and that thing is childhood vaccine requirements for school entry. The Texas outbreak clearly shows what happens when exemptions to vaccine requirements are handed out like candy.

If RFK Jr. wants to talk about Samoa dates: in November 2019, he wrote a 4-page letter to the PM of Samoa suggesting the measles vaccine itself caused the outbreak.
He claimed the vaccine “failed to produce antibodies” that it perhaps provoked “the evolution of more virulent measles strains.”

Why does CHD sell baby onesies with "Unvaxxed" on them? "Are you supportive of these onesies?"
Kennedy keeps saying "I am supportive of vaccines." He is punting. Bernie seems like a no.
But, as the next R Senator says, "I have no doubt you'll be confirmed!"

We now have the ability to protect infants against RSV bronchiolitis if either the birth mother is vaccinated 2+ weeks before delivery or the baby is vaccinated.
"They asked me if I had a will prepared for my baby... Before this happened, I probably would have declined an RSV vaccine."

I have given lots of infants Beyfortus this year to prevent severe RSV infection.
My office has now sent several babies to the hospital with severe RSV.
NONE of them received Beyfortus.
Yes, this is anecdote. But studies say the same.
New parents, PLEASE get your babies Beyfortus.
It works.

I've seen babies with pertussis (whooping cough). I've seen them struggle to breathe in an ICU crib.
If you haven't ever seen this, you can thank vaccines.
If you don't want to ever see this, we need to maintain high immunization rates.
It's really that simple.
