We’re hearing a lot about #Denmark these days, because the country vaccinates its children against fewer disease threats. And for the political appointees currently running our federal health agencies, that’s an attractive proposal and a way to achieve a longtime, ideological goal—fewer #vaccinations.

Unfortunately for Americans, this drive has nothing to do with decades of scientific evidence, which indicates that our schedule leads to better health outcomes." https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/vaccine-integrity-project/viewpoint-myth-over-vaccinated-america-us-does-follow-global-consensus

#TrumpRegime helping bring back #measles.

This year, nearly 2,000 reported cases of measles spread across 47 #outbreaks, while three people have died so far. It’s the largest case count seen since the #viraldisease was locally #eliminated in the U.S. a quarter century ago.

FDA Announces COVID Vaccine Deaths Inquiry, Despite Evidence Showing Safety

https://murica.website/2025/12/fda-announces-covid-vaccine-deaths-inquiry-despite-evidence-showing-safety/

Overall, #Utah has confirmed 115 #measles cases this year. #Arizona has confirmed 176.

Nationally, the measles case count is nearing 2,000 for a disease that has been considered eliminated in the #US since 2000, a result of routine childhood #vaccinations.

Last month, #Canada lost that designation — which applies when there is no continuous local spread of the #virus — as did the larger #health region of the #Americas.

West Coast Health Alliance, WA DOH, and Leading National Medical Organizations Continue to Recommend Hepatitis B Vaccination for Newborns

I find it incomprehensible that people who are neither doctors nor scientists, who get their news from click-driven or money-driven media channels, can feel confident shunning #vaccinations for their children

An advisory panel appointed by President Donald Trump's vaccine-skeptic health secretary voted Friday to stop recommending that all newborns in the United States receive a hepatitis B vaccine. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/12/06/world/science-health/vaccine-policy-us-shift/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #sciencehealth #vaccinations #us #donaldtrump #robertfkennedyjr #health #children #hepatitisb

#CDC #vaccine panel realizes again it has no idea what it’s doing, delays big vote

The panel of federal vaccine advisors hand-selected by anti-vaccine #HealthSecretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has once again punted on whether to strip recommendations for #hepatitisB #vaccinations for #newborns —a move it tried to make in Sept before realizing it didn’t know what it was doing. … realized it still does not understand the topic or what it was #voting on.

#ACIP managed to postpone voting until tomorrow (Friday) morning, because they can’t figure out what they are voting on. Seriously. These are the people advising the population of the #UnitedStates on #vaccinations.

From their “discussion”, they’re probably going to not recommend vaccinating infants for #HepB. Idiots.

Utah’s Measles Outbreak Is Among the Largest in the US. It May Get Worse.

The number of confirmed measles cases in Utah have surpassed 100, with state health officials reporting 102 as of Nov. 25, the last update available from the Thanksgiving holiday week. Of those, 24 were recorded in the last three weeks. Expecting the state and national measles surge to continue amid low vaccination rates, distrust and some isolating themselves from medical care…

#Vaccinations . . .

There's a new flu variant -- H3N2 subclade K -- which has NOT been incorporated in the current flu vaccine.

So, whether already vax'd for the flu or not, be careful out there!

Dr. #RalphAbraham, who as #Louisiana’s surgeon general ordered the state #health dept to stop promoting #vaccinations & who has called #Covid #vaccines “dangerous,” has been named the 2nd in command at the #CDC.

#HHS did not announce the appointment, & many CDC employees seemed unaware of it. But the CDC’s internal database lists Dr. Abraham as the agency’s principal deputy director, with a start date of Nov 23.

You only need to get the RSV shot once.

Quote from the notice linked below:

"The RSV vaccine is not currently an annual vaccine, meaning people do not need to get a dose every RSV season. Eligible adults can get an RSV vaccine at any time, but the best time to get vaccinated is in late summer and early fall before RSV usually starts to spread in communities."

See: https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2024/s-0626-vaccination-adults.html

I got my RSV shot a couple of years ago; get a flu & Covid shot annually; and got 2 variants of the Shingles vax (Shingrix & Zostavax) & 3 variants of the Pneumonia vax (PCV 15, 20 & 21) previously.

There's a 4th type of pneumonia vax (PPSV23) that was most recently released.

Asked my PCP about it & he said I didn't need it, since I got the other 3 already but, from what I've read, PPSV23 covers some things the others didn't. So, I'm still thinking about getting it too.
