I would love to tell you about the times vaccines prevented me from getting sick, but every time it happens, I don’t notice. I just keep feeling well.
Neither do you.
Public health, when it’s working, is invisible.
Just a reminder, for most of human history, about half of kids died before reaching puberty.
Just a few generations ago, 1 in 10 babies died before their 1st birthday in the US.
The mythical “good old days” — when children had flourishing immune systems from their natural
lifestyles and didn’t need antibiotics or vaccines—simply did not exist.
Back in those days, a lot of children died.
Here's a brief look back at the story of humans, infectious disease, and childhood mortality.
Long story short: infectious diseases are not our friends.

Nice to be back on stage at ACEP Scientific Assembly, taking Infectious Disease literature updates (Covid, H5N1, mpox, and other topics for emergency docs).
•Really wonderful turnout for 8:30am on the last day of a conference in Las Vegas.

Excited to share my new op-ed in @medpagetoday, addressing the tragic NIH decision to cancel investment into improving health communication.
If there was one bipartisan sentiment that came out of the pandemic, it was this: the communication was terrible.
