It’s #MythBustingMonday.
Today’s myth: “Multiple vaccines at once will overload a child’s immune system.”
This idea is popular with anti-vaccine groups and also POTUS. But immunology, decades of research, and real-world data all say the same thing: it’s false. 🧵

Barack Obama @barackobama.bsky.social · 20d

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel

Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

We have 2 vaccines that prevent cancer, the HBV vaccine that prevents hepatitis B related liver cancer and the HPV vaccine that prevents cervical cancer and other HPV associated cancers.
On Thursday, RFK.JR's ACIP will attack one of these vaccines (HBV) and restrict access to it.
Let that sink in!

I am here to say vaccines are awesome because guess what Denmark is close to completely eliminating the two most dangerous HPV strains (serotype 16 and 18) and with the cervical cancer.I think that is bloody AMAZING!!!!

Denmark close to wiping out leading cancer-causing HPV strains after vaccine roll-out

A nationwide study suggests infections with human papillomavirus (HPV) types 16 and 18 have been virtually eliminated since vaccination began in 2008 – protecting even unvaccinated women.

I'm on the final episode of Season 2 of Apollyon by @observerpix.bsky.social and. I'm screaming. Pamela Paul is REMARKABLE I'm so obsessed with her performance. This episode is full of brilliang performers but that monologue was *chef's kiss*.

I didn’t know about your presentations. You’re in robotics. I’m in cybersecurity and film. You obviously have more experience and education on these topics than I do. Not trying to educate you in your area of study and never would.
Just voicing my concerns as an artist. Have a good night.

I get it. I’ve been attacked multiple times for my choice of storytelling.

But I also think you should have an open mind to people’s concerns about unethical usage of AI by generative programs and the companies that have sneakily added AI terms to their contracts.

I was writing my response as you were sending. Apologies for not seeing the answer before I posted.

I’ve been following your for months. I know you’re a roboticist.

Did you feel that I came at your respectfully or are you throwing me in the pile of hostility you’re battling daily?
