Seeing patients in clinic who can’t get vaccinated while their families desperately try to keep them safe amidst a measles outbreak in Michigan is too much.

For the love of herd immunity, get your effing vaccines if you can.

Trump reportedly wants to eliminate funding for Head Start programs.

These programs provide educational and nutritional support to our poorest children.

Meanwhile, Trump is pushing for more tax cuts for the rich and a record breaking $1 trillion Pentagon budget.

This is the first measles death in the US in a decade, because we had the disease under control through vaccinations.

But people like RFK Jr who have spread lies for DECADESβ€”yes he has been anti-vaccine since 1999–have systematically erased our health protections.

No, COVID-19 vaccines aren’t causing immunosuppression.

A preprint has been wildly misinterpreted.

β€’No correction for prior COVID-19.
β€’No assessment of T cell exhaustion.
β€’No differences in CD4 T cells.
β€’EBV reactivation wasn’t detected.

Every PO at the CDC, NIH, NSF and University needs to be aware that Black and other minoritized investigators are more likely to study issues like health equity. Cutting these grants, and making this list, is the resegregation of medicine and science. @aaup.bsky.social
