For the 1st time in a decade, a child has died of #measles -- a preventable disease. The current outbreak is mainly among unvaccinated school-aged kids. The MMR vaccine prevents infection: 1 dose: ~93% effective 2 doses: ~97% effective Please: Get vaccinated, and your loved ones, too.
One death from a preventable disease is one too many.

Children & youth are put at unnecessary risk when they do not have access to pediatric medications or child-friendly formulations. This is not a challenge unique to TB patients, but sadly quite a common occurrence for Canada's kids. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

Doctors say child-friendly versions of TB medications would help treat younger patients, but a new report highlights why they so difficult to obtain in Canada

To be CRYSTAL clear: this decision puts American lives & health at risk, in both the short and long term. We wouldn’t have made Covid vaccines so quickly, stopped Ebola, escaped SARS1, or much more, if not for WHO partnership This is a bad idea for the *US*- never mind for the rest of the world🛟

Given that politicians seem to care less and less about science, this is just gonna get worse...👇 Why aren’t governments using science? www.nature.com/articles/d41... 80% of scientists say science-advice system broken. 80% say "policymakers lack sufficient understanding of science."
