"If we look at kids who are immunocompromised, they are relying on the community to protect them, not only against measles but against other infections," Dr. Alok Patel, a pediatrician at Stanford Children's Health and an ABC News contributor, who didn't treat Makayla, said. "They rely on community immunity. They rely on having a 95% vaccination coverage shield so they do not catch the measles."
"Republicans are realizing just how demanding the MAHA vote can be. Moms Across America leader Zen Honeycutt warned that Republicans are facing their biggest setback yet with the MAHA movement, after Trump signed an executive order to support production of glyphosate, a herbicide the World Health Organization has linked to cancer."

She’s hearing from people sick with the virus, as well as their caregivers, that “measles is so much worse than what they expected.”
“A number of them clearly said if they had known, they would have vaccinated themselves and their children against measles, but they didn’t realize how bad it was,” Nolen said.

Hey Fediverse, I wrote a little book (#noai).
It's got beavers, snow, surf, games, coding, data entry, literary references, masks, vaccines and a race to the airport!
It's total FREE! And I'll even mail anyone a copy on request (see about).

Approaching dark humor, targetted at anti vaxxers.

💉 Where are children missing measles vaccines — and when?
🌍 A new high-resolution mapping approach reveals local vaccination gaps in Côte d’Ivoire, showing that many children receive the measles vaccine later than recommended.
By identifying gaps by both age and location, health workers can better target routine immunisation and catch-up campaigns.
News-packed update on nextgen Covid vaccines this month at my @PLOS blog:
- Phase 2 results for a self-amplifying mRNA vaccine from Japan with a phase 3 trial recently closed off
- Preclinical results for an intranasal "universal" vaccine that provided some protection from coronaviruses, H1N1 flu, some bacterial infections, and an asthma allergen
- Opportunities to participate in intranasal vaccine trials in Finland and the US
And much more:

FDA refuses to even consider Moderna's groundbreaking mRNA influenza vaccine application. "It wasn’t even getting formal consideration...because officials were refusing to accept the application."
#vaccines #flu #influenza #FDA #Moderna

The FDA decided not to even review Moderna's mRNA flu vaccines for approval, even though the studies the FDA would be reviewing were conducted the way the FDA told Moderna to do them.
Now #Moderna expects that none of its other #mRNA #vaccines will be reviewed, and has halted studies on vaccines for EBV, HSV, and shingles.
A lot of people with herpes would be angry if they found out.
A lot of people who have family members with #MS -- now thought to be caused in part by EBV -- will be livid.
This is where my prediction comes true: the insane opposition to #mRNA #vaccines, without any scientific basis, is about to start killing people. Tip of the iceberg, and we’re all on the boat.

It's true! Or so I heard. It's not like I ever properly grew up so I can't tell for sure... #vaccine #vaccines #antivax #conspiracy #activism
Another vaccine approval and more in my latest next generation Covid vax update:
- Self-amplifying mRNA vax Kostaive approved in the UK
- New trial for a mucosal vax on the starting blocks in Finland
- Some results from AstraZeneca phase 1 trial for mRNA vax
- 11 preclinical reports, including 2 for mucosal pancoronavirus vaccines
Could the shingles vaccine prevent or delay new-onset dementia? Ontario-based study suggests so

Even for the #TrumpAdministration, this is batshit crazy. They really want to Make Polio Great Again.

The vaccine laws of many states are tied to ACIP’s recommendations…incl. for school entry, guidelines for health care workers, whether pharmacists can provide #COVID vaccinations…
Without those recommendations, states are creating their own rules, seeking information elsewhere & banding together to ensure coverage for their citizens (excluding Florida, which has gone in the opposite direction & seeks to end all vaccine mandates).

Okay, I am a lot more alive today.
If you get the two part Shingles vaccine, make sure you take the next day off, after the second shot. I jinxed myself by saying "Oh, this isn't too bad." For me, the side effects were mild at first: mostly fatigue. It was the next day that it hit, hard. Are you usually aware of all of your bones? Because you will be acutely aware of all of them after the second shot.
Today, the pain is pretty much gone. I just feel rubbery, the opposite of yesterday where I felt like I was made of heavy lumber and somehow had tried to swim the English channel without drowning.
It's still worth it. Shingles is more painful than the side effects of the shot. (If you ever suspect Shingles, you want to get your doc to Rx Valtrex and Neurontin ASAP, before it gets worse.) I've had Shingles twice. It will make you cry.
We don't know exactly how much protection vs. Alzheimer's that Shingrix imparts, but potentially 40%. Why? Because viruses are key and always have been. They are known triggers of many conditions, especially autoimmune, but others, too.
So, get the shots, if you can.

Has anyone gotten their 2025 COVID and flu vaccines at the same time this year? Trying to decide if we should separate them by a week, or get them both at the same time. Planning to discuss with our pharmacist too, but just curious about what others have been experiencing with the combination this year.
Edit: did both on Monday (in the same arm because I’m a side sleeper) and had two days of mild fatigue and body aches. Sore arm for a few days. All good. 😊

"In Massachusetts, Governor Maura Healey essentially wrote a prescription for COVID shots for every person in the state over the age of 5, a move that would blunt potential federal restrictions on COVID boosters."

AP: In CDC attack, man fired 180 shots, breaking 150 windows
"...A Georgia man who had blamed the COVID-19 vaccine for making him depressed and suicidal opened fire late Friday, killing a police officer. No one at CDC was injured.
The shooter was stopped by CDC security guards before driving to a nearby pharmacy and opening fire late Friday afternoon..."
