Between 2013-2021, cervical cancer mortality in U.S. women under 25 dropped by 62%, thanks to widespread HPV vaccination. Yet, vaccination rates fell to 75.9% in 2023.

Let's prioritize protecting the next generations.

Vaccines Rock no matter what the anti vaxxers claim falsely.

Individuals can only do so much at this stage. Leaders/ policy makers can do a lot more.
COVID protection measures plus the ones below, and use of masks appropriately are key at individual level, especiallt those at higher risk. Individuals can surely raise the concerns to wake up policy makers.

New study on COVID-19 vaccines for kids 6-24 months:
Mild reactions like fussiness (30%) and fever (14%) common, severe cases rare (0.3%).
Moderna had slightly higher reaction rates than Pfizer.
Vaccines remain SAFE & effective for young children.

H5N1 has spread to many countries. This is how it can spread e.g. from cows to humans on a dairy farm.
As always Govts won't act proactively to save the spread so we need to spread the awareness.

Avg hospital stay for COVID in Scotland. Policy makers have stopped caring about the virus and it's impact on the people, but the virus has not stopped it's job.

Thanks to efforts like this graph from @1goodtern.bsky.social that we can still get an overview

Death rates continue to be much higher in the unvaccinated than the vaccinated for COVID.
Not surprising but worth highlighting, repeatedly.

H5N1 has been on the move. Spreading. No one wants to hear the P words, but it has the potential for harming us en mass.
Make some noise so that our policy makers wake up well in time than the 'last time'.
