Researchers at Stanford University modeled how many people could die or be disabled in 25 years if vaccines for polio, measles, rubella or diphtheria were no longer available.
We decided to illustrate it.
Watch Director Bhattacharya's performance at CPAC really got to me.
I chose to share some of my observations with him.
Hold on...

EXCLUSIVE: Al Gore calls Trump's Iran war "an astonishing mistake"—says he ignored 50 years of war planning and told advisors "they'll surrender." They didn't.
Thanks to @jjdonohue.bsky.social, we know that PACs are driving gun policy in the US. End Citizens United so the wishes of voters are heard #gunviolence #ourlane @standsafe.bsky.social
7% of people have thought about shooting someone! That mean one in 14 people is on someone’s list. Wouldn’t it be nice to have less ready access to guns?
Congrats to Stanford’s @mathewkiang.com for this beautifully designed paper on unrecognized COVID deaths. As usual, those without access to healthcare are those who suffer unnecessary loss. @stanfordmedicine.bsky.social @stanfordeph.bsky.social #COVID #publichealth
Just to say…
This should go viral......and be printed for handouts to the republicans in the House and the Senate!!

My husband served two tours in Afghanistan. The Afghans who worked side-by-side with the US in the war sacrificed everything: friends, family and homeland. Their heartless treatment by the US govt is immoral. And we wonder why former allies are resisting joining the current debacle in Iran.
On top of the slowdown in grantmaking I wrote about last week - this is another deeply worrisome trend for scientists, physicians, patients, families, and basically anyone who wants new treatments and new tools to promote health. 🆘🧪🥼

The US has been at war for all but about 20-25 years of our 250-year history. What is wrong with us?
Wow. I thought it was bad, but...😱
There is nothing coming out of the WH that can be accepted as truth.
We need to magnify the abomination that is "Operation Epstein Fury". This is a self-own, destroying our relationship with allies, threatening the global economic stability, and risking American lives here and abroad.

Such an important read. #CBP #ICE #concentrationcamps
What are Republicans focused on today? Creating loopholes that allow weapons be sold without background checks, serial numbers, and basic accountability safeguards.
What are you complaining about? She didn’t shoot the pilot in a gravel pit, after all.
At last, a study that might encourage COVID vaccination. #vaccines #publichealth @idsky.bsky.social www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/cov...
You are partly correct. This is the best photo anyone took, ever
While we're at it, lets develop an Institute of Flat Earth Studies. I hear a lot of people believe it.
Sorry about the shambles part. Call me.
It’s a form of survival training. Like waterboarding.
My husband, who often flies his little circa 1972 Piper to Livermore for practice, says they are charging $3500 to park a plane there this week. It’s usually free. Billionaire jets.
No apologies! Love “talking” to you!
Yes, I can tell you care about statistics! I’m an epidemiologist and teach about study design. Your skepticism is justified but if there is a problem, it likely isn’t sample size. There could be bias in subject selection (as you point out). Increasing sample size won’t fix it.
