Where Will the Next Measles Outbreak Hit? In a low-vaccinated community, even if the state has high rates. Some areas at risk are in Indiana, Ohio, Wisconsin, and more. via @AboutPediatrics open.substack.com/pub/stopan…

One in eight cancers are caused by infections, a new study finds. And there’s an easy way to protect yourself against most of them: get vaccinated. spklr.io/6018EpPma

What a package insert actually says, and how it was turned against vaccines: Anti-vaccine leaders lie constantly; Plotkin corrected the lie that Hepatitis B vaccines were only monitored for days; they hid that. cidrap.umn.edu/childhood-vac… @jakescottMD @CIDRAP

Vaccines Still Do Not Cause Autism: Kennedy changes the CDC page on vaccines and autism to imply a link even more. If @SenBillCassidy really thinks this is good faith, I have a bridge to sell him. vaxopedia.org/2026/07/24/vac… via @AboutPediatrics

Reminds us Dr. Pannaraj: Most people vaccinate. They may not talk about it, but it's not that most people are hesitant: most people get their children vaccinated. in #CAsummit26 by @ImmunizeCa

1/n many thanks @OmarJimenez for hosting me @CNN this Sunday PM regarding a very concerning Ebola epidemic in Eastern DRC and @WHO public health emergency of international concern PHEIC. Unlike hantavirus I’m quite worried about this one…

2/n first of all it’s much larger and spread out over a vast area with little public health infrastructure, it doesn’t help that there are fewer resources to fight this epidemic with the pullout of USAID, also there is huge population mobility to spread it and an ongoing armed conflict

3/n to make matters worse, it’s not the Zaire strain for which we had a vaccine. The VZV Merck vaccine was the key to stabilizing the 2019 epidemic. But now this version of Ebola is only about 60% similar at amino acid level and I’m not confident the 2019 vaccine would X protect

4/n we also have the World Cup scheduled here in Houston with people coming in to watch the DRC national team, which will present a challenge to triage and manage that situation, hence the glum look, this one will be around a while unfortunately

As a former U.S. Surgeon General who held an active medical license and practiced medicine while in the role (at Walter Reed and aboard the USS Comfort) it is incomprehensible that the Senate is even considering a nominee for this role who lacks any active license and has never practiced unsupervised. 🤯
