#FDA #vaccine studies #censored by #Trump admin after finding benefits of shots
Despite Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy's pledge to provide "radical transparency," the agencies under his control continue to suppress scientific #research that conflicts with his anti-vaccine agenda.
The NYT reported confirmation from the Dept of #HHS that the #FDA had blocked the publication of studies showing the safety and efficacy of #vaccines against #COVID19 and shingles.

I'm sure the very same people swallow vitamins like TicTac but OMG! It's in a syringe so it must be evil!!
«Vitamin K shots, which help blood clot, r 1 of 3 key interventions 4 #newborns, along w/ an #antibiotic eye ointment & the #HepatitisB #vaccine
The gov doesn’t track vitamin K rejections, but hospitals have seen a rise in parents opting out of the shots for their newborns, often driven by unfounded fears.
Hundreds of children die each year from #SpontaneousBleeding in the brain, a common result of #VitaminK deficiency, suggesting that many related deaths go unreported»

Current state of the world:
#Israel is accused of #genocide after its citizens are slaughtered wholesale by the very #terrorists making the accusation
Red Don and Bibi start a war with #Iran whose most likely outcome is an agreement that is no better than the JCPOA, which Bibi opposed and Red Don canceled
Denying #healthcare to millions and casting doubt on #vaccine effectiveness is causing children all over the country to die of preventable diseases
The Supreme Court is permitting states to restore Jim Crow-era #redistricting on the very eve of elections in a blatantly partisan show of contempt for the Constitution
Masked thugs falsely claiming to be police are permitted—even encouraged— to stop people in the street, and then detain and incarcerate them, because they are not white
Teaching or practicing #diversity can leave you with ruinous lawsuits and vindictive federal investigations
Do I have that about right so far? I feel I'm only getting started.
@GiftArticles RFK Jr says he’ll follow the evidence, but is actively suppressing it. When anti-vaxxers tell you to “follow the research”, understand that they have rigged the research.
“The studies, which cost millions of dollars in public funds, were conducted by scientists at the agency, who worked with data firms to analyze millions of patient records. They found serious side effects to be very rare.
“In October, the scientists were directed to withdraw two Covid-19 vaccine studies that had been accepted for publication in medical journals. In February, top F.D.A. officials did not sign off on submitting abstracts about studies of Shingrix, a shingles vaccine, to a major drug safety conference.”
Not only that, “Last June, Mr. Kennedy’s office asked career C.D.C. staff members to delete from the agency’s website a 17-page summary supporting the safety of thimerosal, an additive largely removed from vaccines 25 years ago. Career scientists were later called into Health and Human Services legal offices and grilled about how the summary had been posted in the first place, they previously told The New York Times.”
“In recent weeks, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, who was serving as interim leader of the C.D.C., canceled the publication of a report concluding that the Covid vaccine sharply cut the odds of hospitalizations and emergency room visits last winter, saying the study had limitations.”

Malaria vaccines are working.
With the exception of COVID-19, malaria vaccines have seen the fastest rollout in history; they are now in routine use across 25 African countries.
Anecdotal data has suggested substantial reductions in severe cases and hospital admissions - but now we have the first official figures, from Burkina Faso, one of the world’s ten highest burden countries. Between 2024 and 2025 malaria cases fell by 32% and malaria‑related deaths by 44%. *That’s in a single year.*

More than 250 children died from #measles in Bangladesh in the current outbreak. This could have easily been prevented by #vaccination and shows what happens without the #vaccines. #vaccine
