I was just looking at the long list of meds that are incompatible with the #chemotherapy my husband is on, and much of the list is vaccines.
Folks, the time to get vaccinated is BEFORE you get #cancer.
People who cannot get vaccinated depend on herd immunity — meaning if enough people get the #vaccine then that disease cannot spread.
Getting #vaccinated is a gift to others, not just yourself. Thank you all who do this, including @NorcalGma2@sfba.social

Given the outrageous, dangerous, and outright false statements made about how the polio (and other) #vaccine was a "fraud" (at the Children's Health Defense conference), here's a reminder of what a massive success it was.
RFK Jr. & his minions must be stopped from destroying the US healthcare system.
I've gotten the word out to everyone I know after my partner told me about this, but now it's time for people I don't know.
If you or anyone know has petted goats in North Carolina recently, get your/their ass to the ER to be treated for rabies.
Rabies can be treated *only* until it becomes symptomatic. Take this seriously. It is incredibly dangerous with a near 100% fatality rate if untreated, with well under 50 survivors, total, ever, on record.

…As #HHS secretary, Kennedy’s skepticism of mainstream #science is no longer just outsider rhetoric; it now shapes official federal #policy. His efforts to reframe the #pandemic’s legacy come as the #US battles its worst #measles resurgence in more than three decades — a crisis experts warn is fueled directly by the type of #vaccine #misinformation & institutional distrust #RFKJr amplified during the broadcast.

While many of the #children who became ill were vulnerable to the #virus because their parents opted them out of the #measles #vaccine, local health departments have also reported several cases in babies too young for the shot & people with #health conditions that make them ineligible for the vaccine [they contract the #disease by being exposed to the dummies refusing #vaccination].

…Experts said the #Trump admin’s response [to the #measles outbreaks] — which has NOT included ANY national push to increase #vaccination rates — has done the #US no favors.
…Dr. Jonathan Temte, a former chair of the #CDC’s #vaccine advisory committee, said∶ “We have seen virtually no national messaging. We’ve seen no ad campaigns.” He added, “I think that really tells us something about their priorities.”

More #measles cases have been reported in the #US in the last 2 years than in all the years from 2000–2024 combined.
Reversing course on measles would require a nationwide push to improve #vaccination rates, a prospect that experts said seemed unlikely under the leadership of “Health” Secy #RFKJr. He has halted #funding for #vaccine hesitancy research, downplayed the risks of measles & spearheaded a hunt for evidence that #vaccines are unsafe.

"Martha Ann Lillard contracted polio in 1953, two years before the #vaccine helped eliminate cases in the U.S.
"She relied on an iron lung for decades, as modern respirators could not meet her breathing needs
"Lillard died at age 78 after a struggle with long COVID and the breakdown of her decades-old iron lung."

Martha Lillard, the last US polio patient using an iron lung, dies at 78
This month is Disability Pride Month and July was chosen because it was when the Americans with Disabilities Act was finally signed into law (1990).
A number of the activists who helped pass ADA were people who'd been disabled by polio in the days before the vaccine was available (Judy Heumann, Ed Roberts, etc)
