An awful practice of antivaccine activists: downplay seriousness of measles & exaggerate side effects of the MMR vaccine. We addressed this in @nytimes in 2020. Top box what happens if 10,000 kids get measles: 2,000 hospitalized or worse; bottom box 10,000 kids get MMR vaccine

A study analyzing 29 European countries found that slower COVID-19 vaccination and booster rollouts significantly increased excess mortality during infection waves.
How much?
An order of magnitude (10X).
Fast vaccine rollouts saved lives.

Vaccines are the single greatest reason for reductions in child mortality over the past decades -- from 11 million child deaths in 1990 to 4.5 million deaths in 2022.

1/15 #Fever #tweetorial
Parents and paediatricians alike are obsessed with fever
We've all got fever fever 🔥 But it is SO misunderstood
Let's take a look at what fever actually is, and finish off with some myth busting!

I think a really under-celebrated and under-utilised part of our measles response is the fact that there now are free walk-in measles vaccination clinics happening all over the country each week, which were stood up urgently in response to the threat of measles. Please share…
