Honestly considering doing all my socials like this... Ten years later, this quote from a paper by X et al is the greatest line in scientific research history. On that note, what is the greatest line in academic literature history? Paper or book. #scicomm #sciencecommunication #sciencehistory

Watching #ACIP discussion on #HBV #vaccine and saw this. What is exactly the gripe the intolerant minority has? If these people truly thought the vaccine was dangerous, wouldn't they just vote to withdrawal it? Or is this really about keeping the intolerant minority voters happy?

Not AT ALL happy. It will take a year or so to notice the effects but I do feel for the healthcare professionals who are going to deal with yet another re-emergence. I warned about this over 10 years ago - people back then said it can't be that bad. Well...
