With today’s executive order, RFK Jr.’s anti-vaccine agenda in Washington is pushing an anti-vaccine agenda that could weaken protections for children and communities. Louisiana doesn’t have to follow that lead.

Could measles infect people 10 stories away?
It sounds unbelievable, but that's exactly what investigators concluded after tracing a real measles outbreak.
Vaccination is the safest and most effective way to prevent infection and protect your community.

There is no connection between vaccines and sudden infant death.
Back in 2021 I requested that this paper be retracted:
"Vaccines and sudden infant death: An analysis of the VAERS database 1990-2019 and review of the medical literature"
Finally it has been removed
Took them long enough

It was an honor to talk with Lindsay Smith Rogers at Public Health on Call about vaccine policy and the critical voice of the pro-vaccine majority.
As policy has shifted at the federal level, state legislatures are considering a broad range of vaccine-related bills.

Something else that we don't talk enough about is the "what can you do about it."
In addition to getting vaccinated yourself (and vaccinating your kids if you have kids) you can push for policies that require kids attending public school be vaccinated. /3
