The death of any child is tragic. We always think it will not be my child, they are healthy. Severe influenza can be unpredictable & deadly. Getting vaccinated considerably reduces dz severity and deaths. Please make sure you are vaccinated & your children are too. people.com/alabama-boy-...

1914 is when the first pertussis vaccine was licensed in the US. This makes no sense to me that babies need die in this horrid way. In the 1990s babies lined my pediatric hospital wards, coughing and turning blue when they had pertussis-often lack of access was their reason for not being vaccinated

In cancer care, scientists are designing custom mRNA vaccines based on a patient’s tumor. These teach the immune system to attack cancer cells with specific mutations. Early trials in melanoma, lung, and pancreatic cancer are promising.

Preventable. I was vaccinated as a child and again as an adult because my titers were low -- tested as part of requirements for being on staff at a hospital. I didn't question the extra vaccine for myself. My kids were vaccinated per the recommended schedule. Measles is a risk we can minimize.

If they’re suggesting the benefit lies in “natural immunity” — vaccination does a great job of conferring that immunity — and guess what? None of the longterm and potentially fatal risks of measles. Read more in this article I wrote, yesterday, coincidentally: news.immunologic.org/p/measles-is...

Measles is not a harmless illness — complications include brain damage, immune amnesia, and death
Vaccine disinformation & wellness profiteering is driving preventable outbreaks of this deadly disease.

In 1992 the US public health service recommended folic acid (FA) for all women of childbearing age. FA decreases the risk of infant brain malformations. A 2015 follow up study found that from 1995-2011, brain malformations had been prevented in ~1,326 infants per year. This is public health at work.

In 3 days, the number of measles cases in a highly unvaccinated area of Texas has doubled. There are now 48 cases, all of whom are unvaccinated, and 13 of whom have been hospitalized so far, for a hospitalization rate of 27%. This is huge figure in epidemiology. This outbreak will keep spreading.
