South Carolina Hospitals Aren’t Required to Disclose Measles-Related Admissions. That Leaves Doctors in the Dark. Physicians across South Carolina, home to the largest measles outbreak in decades, are advising patients without the benefit of real-time data on hospitalizations due to measles-related pneumonia, bra...

“Early in his career, Dr. William Schaffner, a professor at Vanderbilt University…worked with the CDC to implement the measles vaccine. When he tells medical students today that in the 1960s, before the measles vaccine, 400 to 500 kids died of measles & its complications each year, “They’re stunned”

A lot of people, including me, were wondering how an IRB could ever approve this study.

The answer is that no IRB did. The person who “signed off” on approval from the only ethics board that reviewed it had resigned three years earlier. His signature was used without his knowledge.

Or prevent it entirely through the vaccine.

This Is How a Child Dies of Measles When your family becomes a data point in an outbreak

Measles can kill.

It can disable.

It can wipe out your immune system memory.

It can leave children blind and deaf.

It’s almost entirely preventable.

The vaccine was a breakthrough that saved lives.

What’s happening now is an unspeakable and unnecessary tragedy

When he gave the Grammy to that young boy who made everyone think of Liam…even if that wasn’t actually Liam, it was just the perfect way of cutting through all the bullshit.

Every kid impacted by this administration’s cruelty is another Liam.

I treated children for rotavirus in Denmark. The Danish vaccine schedule is no model for the U.S. In Denmark, pediatrician Michael Thwing once saw nearly 20 infants admitted simultaneously with rotavirus. His experience in the U.S. has been completely different.

Parents, read this if you’re considering following the new CDC vaccine guidelines instead of the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Pediatrics published the Vaccine Integrity Project’s hepatitis B birth dose vaccine evidence review online. The review looked at: 400+ studies/reports, 40 years of data—and the conclusion was unmistakable.
There is no evidence supporting a delay in the hepatitis B birth dose.

Things children shouldn’t have to face in childhood:
Measles
Tear gas
Sexual predators
Detention centers
Family separation
Assault rifles

We can actually prevent all of these in 2026. We just choose not to. #PutKids1st

A large Vaccine Safety Datalink study of children under 4 found no link between being up to date on vaccines, aluminum exposure from vaccines, and incident epilepsy—while known risk factors like prematurity and family history remained important. Details:

People are stacked up like animals in leaked footage from an ICE Black Site inside of 31 Hopkins Plaza, Baltimore, MD. “More than 50 people in rooms, no beds, no bathrooms, people lying on filthy floors.”

Where’s all that ICE money going? We need accountability.
