thebioprof.bsky.social @thebioprof.bsky.social · 23/08/2026When someone in academia (or anywhere really) is a walking definition of racism, there is no obligation to treat it as academic freedom. That person is a racist and defending that kind of "scholarship" makes the defender one as well. 010

thebioprof.bsky.social @thebioprof.bsky.social · 10/08/2026An executive order about removing and/or delaying vaccines is, quite frankly, ridiculous.

thebioprof.bsky.social @thebioprof.bsky.social · 04/12/2025Parents are already able to decline vaccines. She keeps saying the models overestimate, but shows no data to support this. "It's hard for me to read" probably means more than just the graph on the screen :-) #acip 020
thebioprof.bsky.social @thebioprof.bsky.social · 04/12/2025Wait. Wait. Is she framing HBV vaccine as positive for PEP? So it's okay for PEP but not universal vaccination? 000
thebioprof.bsky.social @thebioprof.bsky.social · 04/12/2025Lol. Nevison is framing this as "if you're a US citizen, you are safe from HBV because these foreign born people are the real reason HBV is here" On brand for this administration #acip 020
thebioprof.bsky.social @thebioprof.bsky.social · 04/12/2025And we can hear this in her presentation style. She is so out of her area of expertise and it is OBVIOUS. #acip 000
thebioprof.bsky.social @thebioprof.bsky.social · 04/12/2025Note that all of Nevison's comments are essentially "yea the vaccines aren't likely to have helped" but does not show any data to support that claim. "Logically". This is absolutely terrible. Just a complete inability to understand virology, immunology, and epidemiology. #acip 010
thebioprof.bsky.social @thebioprof.bsky.social · 04/12/2025I thought the last ACIP meeting was bad, but..... Nevison asks, really, what is better, vaccines or no vaccines? The fact that these slides focus on things like safe sex, needle exchange etc. is not surprising- it mirrors the view of antivax that babies aren't drug uses or sexually active. #acip 010
thebioprof.bsky.social @thebioprof.bsky.social · 04/12/2025Hey fam, note the drop in cases on this graph after universal dose. They are trying to take universal HBV away. What do you think will happen to these numbers (if the numbers are even accurate)? #acip 000
thebioprof.bsky.social @thebioprof.bsky.social · 04/12/2025I was going to say something similar but this is much better than what I was going to post. 010
thebioprof.bsky.social @thebioprof.bsky.social · 04/12/2025What Pebsworth is intentionally trying to do is over-inflate concerns about HBV vaccines from polls and surveys, especially from areas that have higher rates of vaccine objections than other places. And now we turn to anti-vax climate scientist Nevison to present data. #acip 010
thebioprof.bsky.social @thebioprof.bsky.social · 04/12/2025Prevelance rate for HBV from her slides show that USA has lowest prev. rate. Trying to paint universal dose as an outlier vs. Romania Poland etc. Cherry picking at it's finest. She would fail my vaccines course with these slides. 000

thebioprof.bsky.social @thebioprof.bsky.social · 24/09/2025The cognitive dissonance in this administration, the CDC, FDA etc. is striking.
