A new article estimates that even a 10% DECLINE in MMR vax coverage in the US could lead to 11 MILLION US measles cases over 25 years. IF instead MMR coverage INCREASES by 5%, cases would falled to <10K. Given infectiousness of Measlies, it's VITAL to ⬆️ MMR vax rates. Measles info below 1/2

I also have a few examples of my own… as a #FirstGen student, I started with a technical training. during my first intership, a postdoc asked me what I wanted to do afterwards and when I said pursuing my studies and do a PhD, the reply was ‘oh, but you’d need to be clever for that… didn’t you know?´

Vaccines work! As measles cases have recently been reported in Alaska, Georgia, New York, Rhode Island and Texas, it's important to remember that prior to the introduction of the measles vaccine in 1963, measles killed 400-500 people and resulted in ~48,000 hospitalizations per year.
Graph showing that prior to 1963 when the measles vaccine was introduced, there were around 300,000-700,000 measles cases per year. Within a few years of the vaccine, the number of cases fell below 20,000/year. There were a blips where cases rose, but shortly after the second vaccine dose was recommended in 1989, annual cases have generally been well below 1,000 cases. In 2000, measles elimination was declared in the US. Now we have sporadic outbreaks that typically spread among unvaccinated people. Chart is from Center for American Progress and is based on CDC data on measles cases.

HIV-1 has, for decades, been called, well, HIV-1. But no, according to the ICTV, that will no longer do, so the new name for this virus is "Lentivirus humimdef1". Yup, you read that right. Somebody needs to take away whatever drugs the committee is on. All viruses renamed - it's insane.
