The #CDC buried a #measles forecast that stressed the need for #vaccinations
Leaders at the Centers for #Disease Control and #Prevention ordered staff this week not to release their experts’ assessment that found the risk of catching measles is high in areas near #outbreaks where #vaccination rates are lagging, according to internal records reviewed by ProPublica.

"Measles vaccination rates for young children may be far lower than publicly reported, a troubling development that could mean the United States is closer than expected to losing its 'elimination status' for the extremely contagious disease."
Vaccination rates for preventable diseases, like polio or measles, sliding in Ohio kids' year-after-year since 2020.

I'm 55+, and I rarely encounter commercials.
I do know that I need a doctor to prescribe the #HPV vax for people my age. Which is annoying af, because anyone can contract HPV, and I only recently heard that men are advised to get if if they are sexually active (I'm not, currently, though I anticipate sexing with someone in the future).
Meanwhile, my #pharmacy is pestering me to get the #RSV vax. Which, I'm not certain I'm particularly at risk of either catching it or transmitting it. The #university I applied to doesn't have a checkbox on the application for "not in the demographic that is required to get a #meningitis vax."
I'm on #marketplace insurance. I don't object to #vaccinations , but any that require me to pay for them may be delayed.
As well, the world should stop arrivals or put in #quarantine anyone from or travelling through the #US due to lack of medical response to #contagious #diseases. #measles #vaccinations #USPol #auspol #RFK

In a study published Jan. 29 in Science Advances, researchers found no visible signs of illness in mouse models after […]

Text at the top reads: "This is what human evolution is up against." followed by four laughing emojis and one neutral face emoji. Below, a maroon box contains white text: "My 3 year old is not vaccinated and there is currently a measles outbreak in my state. Any suggestions for precautions I can take to protect her would be very much appreciated."
Today in history: Children begin to receive the polio vaccine in 1954. As a direct result of widespread use of the vaccine, polio cases were reduced by 99 percent worldwide.

“But public health experts say there are some adults who should consider getting revaccinated. That includes older adults who were born after 1957 and were vaccinated before 1968.
“That's because early versions of the measles vaccine were made from an inactivated (killed) virus, which didn't work particularly well, Offit says.” #Vaccines #Measles #Vaccinations
"Only 26 percent of Republicans now say that childhood vaccinations are important; 31 percent say that they’re more dangerous than the diseases they were designed to prevent."
Some of us refuse to learn. And for some of us, selfishness is a core governing philosophy for our lives and no one else matters.
