"If routine childhood vaccination declined by 25%, we...projected there would be 26 900 cases...of postmeasles neurological sequelae, 100 cases...of paralytic poliomyelitis, ...5.4 million hospitalizations...due to all infections, and 80 600 deaths...due to all infections."

Someone's modelled the impact of a precipitous decline in vaccination uptake in the USA. TL:DR: millions of avoidable disease cases; hundreds of thousands of deaths over the next decades.

Politikwissenschafter*innen der Uni Wien haben untersucht, wie staatliche Maßnahmen während der #COVID-19 Pandemie von den Menschen erlebt wurden. Dabei zeigte sich, dass die Befragten – unabhängig von ihrer Einstellung zum Impfen – Sorge um gesellschaftliche Spaltung und Ausgrenzung hatten. 💉⤵️

Fazit aus der Pandemie: "Krisenpolitik muss alle miteinschließen"

Menschen waren durch Corona-Politik in "sozialen Blasen" und besorgt über gesellschaftliche Spaltung

Wow. I had no idea the justification for the CDC layoffs was that 'AI can do the work'.
Meanwhile "the work" 👉 experts aiding outbreak response, ensuring medical device safety, & preventing disease-carrying animals from entering the U.S.
Not sure how 🤖 is going to solve this. Bleak #SnakeOil shit.

GOP Rep. Rich McCormick at his town hall last night justified the Trump administration firing CDC workers by saying "a lot of the work they do is duplicitous with AI"
