That claim is false - it's because of vaccine disinformation, much of it coming from him.
For example, the ongoing measles outbreaks in the US are connected and hence _specifically_ not from people traveling into the country. We know this, because, data 👇.

Look, good comment on your study.
Does BA.3.2 epidemiology imply a change in SARS-CoV-2 evolution?
On the evolution of SARS-CoV-2: plausible, but far from certain.

4th human #H5N1 case of 2026 in #Cambodia
A 66-year-old woman from Svay Rieng province, currently hospitalized and receiving treatment.
2026: 4 cases, 0 deaths
Since 2023: 38 cases, 15 deaths (CFR 39.5%)
Since 2004: 94 cases, 52 deaths (CFR 55.3%)

I used to be a civilian epidemiologist for the Army. The optional-flu-vaccine policy won't last.
SPOILER ALERT: Yes.
Grand Wizard of the Competence Department Chris Klomp got a couple name-checks today.
It's still a clown car. They just left their wigs and noses at home.
Still, not complaining about blowing off some steam with @elizabethjacobs.bsky.social and @kavehmd.bsky.social!

Trump and RFK Jr. keep losing on autism. The FDA didn't approve their miracle cure, and a new study from Denmark shows no link between autism and taking Tylenol in pregnancy.

Yeah. They are lying to the American Public on the daily.
In collaboration with Nicola Muller, and led by @lambod50.bsky.social, we have a new preprint out that's all about reassortment! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Using TargetedBeast, we built massive (9000 tips!) Bayesian phylogenies of North American H5Nx viruses, and inferred the host...

Given ongoing conversations around #measles and #vaccines, I wanted to share our poster on measles vaccine intentions among Canadians- currently presented at #ESCMIDGlobal2026
A similar study in the U.S. observed comparable patterns of hesitancy—a concerning signal as measles resurges globally.
This is what science can do 👏
Three European countries have reached ≥90% HPV vaccine uptake in girls—a major step toward preventing cervical cancer and other HPV-related cancers.
When science, policy, and trust align → real impact.
Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis is a rare but fatal side effect of #measles infection, which manifests years after a kid recovers. This story of a family who lost a 10-year old to it is heartbreaking. Renae was too young to be vaccinated when she caught measles. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/21/o...
A NEW PHASE OF SARS-COV-2 EVOLUTION?
The evolution of SARS-CoV-2 has followed a familiar pattern: new variants emerged, spread rapidly across the globe, and replaced their predecessors - triggering successive waves of infection.
Not having tracked SARS-CoV-2 for a while, it was interesting to look at countries like Denmark 🇩🇰, which had a high BA.3.2 frequency in early 2026. Now:
➡️BA.3.2 frequency remains high
➡️Sequencing activity is decreasing
WELL NOW, would you look at that?
A massive, 26-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 2.4 MILLION people in Sweden found NO EVIDENCE to support a causal link between acetaminophen (the API in Tylenol) use during pregnancy and increased risk of autism, ADHD, OR intellectual disability in children.
Remember the unvaccinated boy who contracted tetanus in 2017, hospitalized for months at a cost of almost $1M? The boy who was a patient of (former) antivax doctor Paul Thomas?
He's not the only recent case. 4 kids, unvax'd, none received immunoglobulin when symptoms developed. Those poor kids.
It is still amazing how these anti-science accounts keep lying, while it is so easy to check!

Our publication in Nature Ecology and Evolution reveal a multiscale expansion process with both short- and long-distance dispersal or Oropouche virus, a new re-emergent pathogen. Our results also demonstrate a rapid advance on methods that can be used to track pathogens of global importance.

Mitochondrial vulnerability underlies myocarditis from COVID-19 mRNA vaccine
If mitochondria are vulnerable, inflammatory stress from inflammation inlcuding vaccination can precipitate myocarditis through ROS‑driven necroptosis.

In case you missed the 2026 curve for e.g., F awards because it's completely flatlined, here's a big fat arrow showing where we are. Curves for T and K awards are just as bad.
