I joined the Public Health On Call podcast to explain how some viruses—including many that are vaccine-preventable—can cause post-acute infection syndromes. @johnshopkinssph.bsky.social 🔗https://youtu.be/n0M3B2iP5Ug

The rising cost of eggs isn’t just about supply and demand—it’s also about #birdflu (H5N1). Outbreaks in poultry farms lead to massive culls, disrupting supply chains and driving up prices. The solution? Smarter surveillance. Let’s rethink how we protect both flocks and finances. #FoodSecurity

CDC’s outbreak publication is back up after the first pause in 70+ years- but it was more focused on fires than #birdflu or #mpox? Interestingly the data included influenza in cats. More surveillance is key to knowing where public health measures are most needed.

Data from 7 countries on 3 continents with 10s of thousands of participants proved autism is not caused by vaccines. Scientists took the concern seriously. Dr. Paul Offit on the @sanders.senate.gov roundtable said "Sounding this false alarm about vaccines causes harm." #Vaccines #PublicHealth
