Sometimes vaccine efficacy is subtle. Sometimes it isn’t. Graph showing the number of measles cases after the 1st and 2nd MMR vaccines were recommended.

I am shocked to see this language from the NSF.
“The U.S. National Science Foundation's Fiscal Year 2027 Budget Request reflects a strategic alignment of resources in a constrained fiscal environment while eliminating woke and weaponized grant programs that previously funded radical DEI projects.”
Not a chance…Everyone wins when Duke loses.
It’s the ultimate illustration of sports schadenfreude.

“Look, I’m very busy running a large federal agency. You can’t expect me to also know how it’s funded.”

Line graph shows US newborn Hepatitis B virus vaccination rates, forecasting the ratio of HBV vaccinations within 30 days of birth to live births in the US. Actual, ARIMA forecast, and training data are plotted from 2017-2026.
#HepatitisB virus newborn vaccination rates in the US peaked at 83% in early 2023 but dropped to 73% by August 2025, coinciding with increased public discourse regarding childhood vaccination.

Go make some good trouble today. 💚
I think you meant to say “protesting against genocide in Palestine”.
Also, after those protests, which many administrators labeled as antisemitism, campuses instituted strict speech rules limiting ability to protest.
#Measles update: #CDC reports the confirmed case total this year to date is 1,575 — or 69% of the number of cases in the entirety of 2025. That's up 88 from last week. 94% of the cases are parts of outbreaks. There've been 16 new outbreaks in the US in 2026. www.cdc.gov/measles/data...
As Idaho ranks 43rd on physical environment, 31st on clinical care, and 23rd on social and economic factors (see www.americashealthrankings.org/explore/stat...), I see Idaho leaders are focusing on promoting fear and hatred (www.aclu.org/news/lgbtq-r...).
A 3-year study published in Pediatrics examined newborns in Norway. It found a clear benefit for the baby when mom gets a COVID vaccination during pregnancy. n.pr/4uXOx6X
Mohamed Salah is to bring the curtain down on his illustrious career with Liverpool Football Club at the end of the 2025-26 season.
The time to fully celebrate his legacy and achievements will follow later in the year when he bids farewell to Anfield ❤️
The CDC “has reported more than 1,100 measles cases in 2026 so far on top of more than 2,200 last year, when three people died and hundreds were hospitalized. The US hasn’t seen such a high number of cases in the past 35 years.”
More than 5.6 million American women live in counties with no or limited access to maternity care. The rise in maternity deserts is most likely a factor in the decline of early prenatal care. Restrictive abortion bans don't help either.
The world is still in a COVID pandemic.
RFK Jr *lies* when he says cervical cancer risk is increased in women who get the HPV vaccine.
New study: "States with high vaccination rates have seen the biggest drop in cervical cancer, while states with low vaccination rates have had little to no progress"

This is so ridiculous. The U.S. has had an adverse event reporting site for years.
For the first time, a British Sign Language rendition of You'll Never Walk Alone was performed at Anfield before Liverpool vs. West Ham ❤️
the former host of celebrity apprentice and the former host of fox & friends weekend are launching bombs and destabilizing the world for generations all because voters decided their biggest issue was a trans kid playing jv tennis with their friends 4 states over
I just wrote a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social letter: Oppose Nomination of Casey Means for Surgeon General. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/oppo...
“Nationwide, cervical cancer incidence rates declined by 27% (RR = 0.73, 95%CI:0.70 to 0.75) during the vaccination era, from 5.1 to 3.7 per 100,000… Every 10% increase in vaccination rates was associated with an 11.5% (95%CI : -17.2% to -5.4%) reduction in RRs, adjusted for screening rates.”
Kicking off #BlackHistoryMonth w/ an appreciation thread of physicians:

- American surgeon & researcher
- pioneer in the field of blood transfusions
- developed techniques for blood storage
- first African-American surgeon to examine for American College of Surgeons
