This is why we are worried. Not because we don’t want rigorous safety standards (which already exist), but because we don’t want kids to needlessly die from preventable diseases.
Kids used to regularly die from meningitis and pneumonia, but that drastically declined thanks to PCV.
Pneumococcal (PCV) has gone from protecting against 13 strains of strep to 20 in our routine schedule just over the last several years. We don’t compare PCV20 to placebo because we have existing safe vaccines and it would be UNETHICAL to leave kids vulnerable and without protection.
Why this is so concerning is in the immediate - flu and COVID vaccines. We do not have time to run placebo controlled trials before next flu season, esp coming off a terrifyingly deadly flu season for kids - 216 kids died. The most in 15 years.

In the future - what about updated pneumococcal shots?

The daily fight with cuteness aggression and my 4 month olds squishy cheeks is REAL 🤣.
Does anyone else relate?

this is an illegal order. the president does not have the legal authority to discriminate against entire categories of americans on the basis of sex. this order is no different than if he had issued one reinstituting segregation.

Michelle's thoughts: we are living in a very confusing time, aren't we? It's confusing because I don't understand how people are okay with repeating one of the darkest periods of history. We didn't want fascism then, and we don't want it now. Freedom from that ideology is what we all need.

Hello, fellow Blueskyians!! Just a Canadian who is looking to filter out all the negatives that meta seems to offer. I hope to eventually make a smooth transition from meta. Will take me a bit, but with the help of all of you, I know it can be possible!

Americans voted for cheaper groceries. Less than a week on the job and Trump's already managed to get us into a trade war that will drive up the cost of coffee and be a gut-punch to American farmers and manufacturers, all because Colombia hurt his feelings.
axios.com Axios @axios.com · Jan 26
After President Trump hit Colombia with tariffs, President Gustavo Petro said his government will "raise import tariffs from the U.S. by 25%"
Columbia hits back at Trump by moving to impose retaliatory tariffs on U.S. products
The U.S. is Colombia's largest trade and investment partner, per the State Department.
