Vaccines have saved the lives of more than 1M children in the U.S. since 1994. Despite this, Secretary Kennedy has chipped away at the system that ensures access to safe, effective vaccines. We should keep our eyes open to the actions being taken. https://t.co/R9nUHd1Z7A

Mashup Score: 121RFK says most vaccine advisers have conflicts of interest. A report shows they don't - 1 month(s) ago
The Health Secretary’s assertion inaccurately characterizes the 2009 government report he cites, according to an NPR review and interviews with former committee members.

Taking a kernel of truth and conflating it with a broad, unsubstantiated claim is classic misinformation. It undermines confidence in the transparent, fact-based process of advising on vaccine safety and effectiveness. https://t.co/Ag6dAlqzyE

The Trump administration said it was cancelling $766 million in funding for a Moderna vaccine contract that was supposed to help pay for the development of a shot that would protect people against different flu viruses that could cause pandemics, including the H5N1 bird flu.

mRNA vaccines have already saved millions of lives from Covid and could save even more from flu. Cancelling investments in critical research will set us back and cost us time and lives if bird flu emerges as the next pandemic. https://t.co/LT1UUUGzAw

It’s only July and measles cases in the U.S. are already higher than in any year since 1992. When public health programs are cut and vaccination rates decline, more children get sick and die. It doesn’t have to be this way. https://t.co/xygdp0Co9u
