#Nirsevimab
Un abrazo a los que renegaban de la inmunización universal con nirsevimab contra el VRS.
Miles de bebés evitaron el hospital desde 2023. ¿Por qué no lo sabías? 👇

La bronquiolitis mandaba al hospital al 2% de los recién nacidos.

Ya no. España los inmunizó con un anticuerpo y mirad: ¡sus ingresos cayeron un 75%!

RSV is the leading cause of infant hospitalizations in the US.

Nirsevimab (a monoclonal antibody) cuts RSV-related hospital stays in infants and reduces severity of other respiratory viruses. Fewer ICU visits, shorter stays—big win for babies and families.

🧵RFKJ and one of his ACIP picks, Robert Malone, appear to be getting ready to restrict the Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) immunizations (nirsevimab and clesrovimab) saying there is a vast cover up of vaccine safety data.

As a pediatrician and CDC worker I have two questions for RFKJ about that:

Very excited to see this work by my residency classmate calling for removal of race based guidance for Nirsevimab.

Race is a social construct, not a biological one.

Racism is the risk factor.

💉🧵PSA 🚨 We don’t know for sure but are very worried RFKJ’s ACIP is about to restrict access to RSV monoclonal immunization for babies (nirsevimab and clesrovimab). If your baby is eligible, get them vaccinated asap. RSV season starts late Oct-early Nov. See below for immunization recommendation info

Analysis suggests nirsevimab cuts infant RSV hospitalizations 83%

Total RSV cases in children 12 months or younger were significantly lower in states with population-wide nirsevimab strategies.

In Ireland we probably averted about 500 newborn RSV hospitalizations once nirsevimab was introduced last year (~75% risk reduction). Uptake was > 80%, and that's what's threatened by these cynical safety concerns from the antivaxxers in the US government.

In the latest from Sensible Medicine, a name wearing out the irony meter to a degree similar to Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, they come out against universal RSV prophylaxis for infants.

RSV is the leading cause of hospitalization in kids under 2 and Nirsevimab has 90+% effectiveness.
