After my post on vaccinating my children when they were babies, I got asked to have ‘nuanced’ convos with antivaxxers.
No.
I’m not platforming lies that led to the drop in vaccines, sick children with lifelong impacts and dead children.
Vaccines save lives and protect health.
Period.

At a stop light, a guy asked for money.
Something about him being old, wet and apologetically holding a battered paper cup got me, so I gave him $5.
This is no one else’s business, but the guy behind me honked a few times loudly because he’s in the business of being absolute jerk.

This man's name should not be used in the same sentence with word "science" unless it is "anti-science".
Over many interviews, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Michael Scherer about how he plans to remake America’s public-health system. Can he lead the scientific establishment he’s spent much of his life crusading against?

3 infant #pertussis deaths this year in Kentucky. "Of the three infant deaths reported over the past 12 months, all three were not vaccinated, nor were their mothers."
We first tested maternal vaccination for whooping cough over 80 years ago. It's safe & effective & might have saved these babies.

Some vaccines like COVID and flu don’t stop completely stop infection.
But they do reduce the risk of getting infected and greatly reduce severe illness risk.
They are still worth getting.
Since they are not 100% effective it’s also wise to add another layer of protection by wearing a mask.

Vaccines themselves are such a metaphor for how the anti-vax demographic views society. If the rest of us didn’t do our part, most of them would be doing a very different risk assessment before declining immunization. They depend on the rest of us getting vaccinated so we stay above herd immunity.
