3 stages of #VaxWar movie:
• 2019, began filming in response to measles & pertussis outbreaks.
• 2020, hope for a happy ending. So many lives destroyed by the pandemic, surely most will want the vaccine.
• 2025, measles confirmed in 24 states and counting.
"Virulent: The Vaccine War" is fighting disinformation by streaming free on @PBS and @YouTube. Learn about the history of vaccine skepticism and denial, and how we allowed measles to return. youtube.com/watch?v=pgj6...

Low-hanging #MAHA fruit. Remove the synthetic dyes and the foods containing them are still ultra-processed junk.

There are days, okay, weeks, when we just feel like burying our heads in the sand. Fortunately, there's @pauloffit.bsky.social. His substack is always worth reading. Today's is particularly insightful.
An effective antidote to disinformation is nonprofit #PublicGoodProjects #TrustedMessenger program led by tireless communicator & humanitarian Dr. Todd Wolynn. Follow on @LinkedIn & help spread the word. @mursebigford.bsky.social please share w/ #nursepractitioners www.linkedin.com/company/trus...

Measles just reached a 33 year high in the U.S. both predicted and predictable. Here are my 4 recommendations for things we can do now (but choose not to, unfortunately) @plosglobalpublichealth.org

Took @thetimesofindia.bsky.social to ask the obvious question perhaps because it's only been 2 yrs since #polio was declared eradicated there. If you've been there, you've seen someone like this man. Always heartbreaking, unbearably so when it's a child.

On Memorial Day weekend, we shouldn't just think of veterans who died in service but also the people who died as slaves in service to the US military before the Civil War. While their are a few instances of slaves serving in combat roles, they were mostly in forced labor roles. 1/2
Thanks to the best damn group #SecularStudents for taking the lead! Book a #Virulentmovie screening for your organization via @bullfrogfilms.bsky.social . Discussion guide by @cunysph.bsky.social students will get the conversation going! @skepticalscience.bsky.social @skepticallyspeak.com
RFK, Jr's remarks were abhorrent and revealed a deep lack of scientific understanding. As RJ's mother, Ms. Robinson-Peete can speak w/ authority about her experience raising a son with autism. Just wish she wouldn't use her celebrity to spread vaccine disinfo which she has repeatedly over the years.

This book was published in 2023 🥲.

I’d call @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social a prophet but that would discredit the simple fact that he’s an expert that knows what he’s talking about.
Or she could form a relationship with the cow, look it in the eyes and decide. What a waste of a #Stanford med school education!

That sounds like what Andrew Wakefield said when he faked the data for his retracted Lancet study, which was funded by attorneys wanting to sue vaccine manufacturers. @briandeer.com

You just inspired a TV series, Jared in Charge. Sequel to Malcolm in the Middle.
Allderdice's Mrs. Palumbo definitely would have, too. My spelling and grammar were good but I made the mistake -- horrors! -- of just crossing something out and she returned it ungraded and demanded a re-do. I think I just dated myself.

Kennedy is supposed to testify before the HELP committee May 14.
Last time he was scheduled to testify it did not happen - he did not do it. Let's see if he does this time.
