With RFK Jr. confirmed as head of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Dean @ashishkjha.bsky.social says the long-time vaccine skeptic may undo years of progress.

"He is going to have enormous power to dismantle the vaccine enterprise of our country," he tells @wgbh.org.

Just learned from NPR that the federal government is the largest employer in the great Kansas City area, for example. I found it helpful to be reminded that, of course, this isn’t just about people who work and live in DC. Federal employees are in all of our communities.

"Protecting against flooding" is most important for people who can’t save themselves—babies, the elderly, the sick.

When adults and kids are vaccinated against common diseases, it helps protect people whose immune systems aren’t fully functioning or who haven’t been able to be vaccinated.

Think of population immunity like a water dam built to prevent flooding.

Once the dam is built, we won’t have flooding anymore.

But if the next generation says,“Hey, there’s no flooding anymore—do we really need this dam?” and decides to get rid of it, the flooding will return.

Although many diseases, like measles, are no longer widespread in most U.S. communities, children still need vaccines to maintain their immunity.

These diseases are still alive and well in other parts of the world 🌎 In the U.S., we have rubella cases, but only from international travelers.
