The #science of MMR vaccines well summarized
MMR vaccines do not cause autism—the evidence is overwhelming.
I teamed up with @unbiasedscipod.bsky.social to break down decades of research, covering dozens of studies with millions of children.

The CDC reports the 2024-2025 flu season has been one of the worst in decades with staggering numbers: 41-71 million illnesses, 19-32 million medical visits, and 540,000-1.2 million hospitalizations so far. Do you know what to do if you catch the flu? 🦠

Looking for science based medical information? Check out Unbiased Science - seriously... it's one of the best sources I know of. They're well worth following here on BlueSky, and their podcast is great! Also, if you like it, share it - it is needed, especially now.

It is sad the #science is being stifled and public health as well under this administration. We lost a key grant that would helped many vulnerable populations - particularly rural ones 🥲
Well, it happened. We tried to dodge it, but we finally got DOGE'd. Yesterday, the termination letter arrived for a project we've poured our hearts into for several months.

It’s a sad day to see science silenced in this way
I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

The Trump administration has directed federal health agencies (FDA, CDC, NIH) to pause external communications, including advisories, reports, & updates. While communication reviews during transitions are normal, officials note this January 21st directive's unusually broad scope & unclear duration.

Modern medical success means many parents have never witnessed the devastating childhood diseases that once threatened entire communities. Our vaccination programs have been remarkably effective – so much so that we risk forgetting their critical importance.

The evidence shows that vaccination services often operate at a loss for medical practices. So why do doctors continue offering them? The answer lies in their commitment to public health. theunbiasedscipod.substack.com/p/no-doctors...

Today's vaccines use extremely efficient technologies.
While kids in 1961 were exposed to >3,000 antigens from just 5 routine vaccines, modern vaccines protect against 14 diseases using only ~150 antigens in total.
Kids encounter 2,000-6,000 antigens daily just by playing, eating, and breathing.
