Nice to know we can keep the separate vaccines but thanks to this joke of ACIP for causing our 12 month old may have to get a 2nd jab 😑 Glad I got my toddler her MMRV booster earlier this year!

This is an excellent response. The federal government can not restrict what individual faculty or University programs teach. That is our right to free speech and academic freedom. All Universities should respond similarly to these threats.

RFK Jr.’s CDC just pulled a flu vaccine campaign in the middle of the worst flu season in 30 years. 29 million illnesses, 370,000 hospitalizations, and 16,000 deaths—including nearly 70 children. Public health shouldn't be political. Get vaccinated.

Not only were all childhood vaccines studied more rigorously than nearly any other medical therapeutic before ending up on the vaccine schedule, we also have years of data on BILLIONS of administrations since. No other medical interventions have been tested as rigorously as childhood vaccines have.
