Vinay Prasad, a former adult oncologist, has moved to disrupt the childhood vaccine schedule by asserting - against all evidence - that administering multiple vaccines at the same time “could blunt their efficacy.” The added burden/delay of separating shots would sharply reduce US vaccination rates.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is definitely coming for your vaccines The chaos at the CDC in the wake of last week's firing of its Director and the resignations of four senior officials is fallout from the latest skirmish in RFK Jr.'s war against vaccines. Make no mist

The CDC shooting was public health’s Jan. 6 “In RFK Jr.’s America, it will never be safe to practice public health or medicine," write an epidemiologist and a former CDC staffer.

"If violent rhetoric is denounced but never deplatformed, it will only become bolder—& more violent. In RFK Jr.’s America, it will never be safe to practice public health or medicine." The authors call out violence caused directly by Kennedy, Bhattacharya & Prasad.

RFK Jr. attacks pediatricians’ group over vaccine recommendations The American Academy of Pediatrics had earlier urged parents to get young children vaccinated against Covid — pushing back against the health secretary’s stance.

These are the sorts of attacks on experts that resulted in a domestic terrorist firing 500 shots at the CDC just over a week ago. If you stand for evidence based public health interventions, you basically get a target placed on your back by DHHS leadership.

Opinion | Jay Bhattacharya: Why the NIH is pivoting away from mRNA vaccines As a vaccine for broad public use, mRNA technology has failed to earn the public’s trust.

#NIH director Jay Bhattacharya doubles down on his assertion that the US is moving away from mRNA vaccine research because the public does not trust these vaccines.
Distrust of mRNA is not universal; where it exists, the flames have been very actively fanned. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Measles was eradicated with the vaccine, which is 97% effective at preventing measles.
