Get yourself vaccinated for the flu. Get your children & loved ones vaccinated. It's not a guarantee this year or any year that you won't contract the flu, but it reduces the likelihood. It also reduces severity if you do get sick — milder symptoms, speedier recovery, lower risk of more severe complications. Don't believe otherwise.

Tell you friends, neighbors... everyone.

I recently turned an anti vaxxer who called the COVID vaccine a clot shot into someone who decided to go and get vaccinated using a very simple argument. Feel free to use it:

1. Vaccines are made by drug companies.
2. Drug companies make most of their money off the elderly as ageing populations require more care.
3. Why would you kill off your customers before they become the most profitable to you?

They've now had all their COVID vaccines.

Ironic too that we were all supposed to be dead by new year's eve.

🎉 Oh wow, imagine that: vaccines actually work! 🦠 Who knew preventing cervical cancer was as easy as getting a shot? Meanwhile, let's all give a sarcastic round of applause to #Denmark for successfully reducing HPV16/18 prevalence and making #anti-vaxxers look as credible as flat earthers. 🙄👏

Measles is back at a 33 year high because lies beat science. Kids are dying, hospitals are filling, and anti vaccine politics keep spreading disease. This is failure, not freedom.

In the 1980s, Polio paralyzed 350,000 people a year. It is estimated that global vaccination campaigns have saved approximately 20 million children from paralysis.

Today, it’s nearly eradicated. #VaccinesWork

Terminating grants to punish real doctors and scientists, who disagree with #rfkjr and his determination to ruin the health system.

Official reason given:
"AAP used woke phrases like 'the health of pregnant and postpartum people' in grant applications"

Help me understand - what is #woke about being pregnant and giving birth? 🤯

Cos it includes the "lady parts"?

Rasmussen Retorts

RFK Jr’s antivax lies are not free choice. They are state backed negligence. Downplaying measles, attacking vaccines, excusing child deaths is moral failure. This is policy built on bodies. #VaccinesWork #Measles #PublicHealth #RFKJr

Death is the policy

RFK Jr.‘s measles response is junk science and social Darwinism.

Seventy years ago, Jonas Salk and his team worked in a lab between a morgue and a darkroom to develop the world’s first successful polio vaccine.

A filmmaker who made a documentary on Salk’s work explains why forgetting life before vaccines has real consequences: https://theconversation.com/the-world-risks-forgetting-one-of-humanitys-greatest-triumphs-as-polio-nears-global-eradication-70-years-after-jonas-salk-developed-the-vaccine-in-a-pittsburgh-lab-270042

The world risks forgetting one of humanity’s greatest triumphs as polio nears global eradication − 70 years after Jonas Salk developed the vaccine in a Pittsburgh lab

Polio may finally be defeated in the next 5 years. Will the world recognize what an extraordinary achievement that is?
