Image with a bar graph. Text reads, "Headlines claimed vaccine skepticism is widespread. Here's what the data actually show." There is a call out to a data point from Politico stating "More Americans doubt vaccine safety than trust it" Bar chart lists vaccine confidence findings from other polls. Sources for the data are at the bottom of the graphic.

A recent poll claimed vaccine skepticism is widespread. However, a careful reading of the poll data tells a different story.

@drhigginsmd.bsky.social takes a closer look at the survey questions and what the data actually say.

Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.

"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X

Coachella is removing these videos, so they might be about to learn about the Strokesand Effect.

Brass snail

Brass snail mesuring tape

The best thing ive ever found in a garadge sale, a snail that is also a mesuring tape

A large white waterfowl with orange feet stands in front of a door. On the door is a cardboard sign secured with tape that reads, "DO NOT LET THE DUCK IN." Adding insult to injury, I think the duck might be a goose.

Whatever you do,

@lizzylawrence.bsky.social reported this last fall. Pretty wild to learn that the nation’s top vaccine regulator abused his power to pull a paper out of peer review because it showed Covid vaccines still work, are safe, and benefit most people. Also scary that’s FDA
