Measles cases keep rising, and the MMR vaccine remains the most effective way to protect children and communities. Dr. Shannon Neale spoke with KSTP-TV about how back-to-school checkups are a great opportunity to ask your family doctor about vaccines and make sure your child is up to date: https://bit.ly/4c2TWBM

As of yesterday RFK was denying that there were even any deaths. He wrote books and farmed against thimerisol for decades (removed decades ago from all childhood vaccines) and continues to promote false links with Autusm. When you scare parents with pseudoscience and BS then we now have measles outbreaks. Cause and effect.

Make Unvaccinated Kids Healthy Again

A statement from AAP President Dr. Andrew Racine on measles deaths in Pennsylvania:

“We were deeply saddened to receive the report of two measles-related deaths in Pennsylvania today, reminding all of us that measles remains a serious and potentially deadly disease. The families and communities suffering from this unimaginable loss deserve our love and support.

In 2026, decades after measles was eliminated in the United States, it is heartbreaking to witness deaths from a disease that is preventable with a vaccine that has been widely used since the 1970s. Today, pediatricians call on our leaders to encourage MMR vaccination to stop the spread of measles in our communities. Let us return to a time when measles was a disease pediatricians only saw in their textbooks, not in their exam rooms.”

People hate on the scientists until they start doubling the survival rate for cancers.

There’s still a lot of work to do though. This is a solid step.

👀🗣️BREAKING: The FDA approved the first-in-class RAS inhibitor daraxonrasib (Rasonque) for metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), the most common form of pancreatic cancer.

"This drug showed unprecedented results in an area of high unmet need," said Angelo de Claro, MD, the director of FDA's Oncology Center of Excellence, in a statement.

There’s a special place for people like RFK and his scammy CHD organization after they die.

Dolly donated a million dollars to vaccine research during the pandemic. She’s a saint now.

“Children’s Health Defense” is going to kill children with misinformation. They should be held liable.

RFK will never accept blame for the misinformation that he has delivered across the world that has lead to children getting sick and dying from vaccine preventable diseases.

Two doses of the MMR vaccine is 97% effective at preventing measles, the most contagious virus known to humans.

It doesn’t cause autism.

RFK has spent decades scaring parents about vaccines. This is the result.

Hold him responsible.

Two people have died from measles in Pennsylvania. Both were unvaccinated residents of Lancaster County. These are the first measles deaths in the state in 35 years, and the first reported in the US this year.

Two weeks ago the White House said the MMR vaccine could be "quite lethal" and pushed to split it into three separate shots, even though there's NO EVIDENCE that doing so is safer and those shots aren't available in this country, all while continuing to tie vaccines to autism.

This has to stop. Measles is one of the world's most contagious diseases. In the name of public health, PLEASE follow all the medical guidance urging getting the MMR ON SCHEDULE.

Covid vaccines didn’t cause miscarriages. They prevented severe disease and serious complications in pregnant women just like they did in non-pregnant people.

CHD is RFK’s baby.

These people are scammers that are harming children not helping them.

RFK is a liar.

Children's Health Defense (CHD) filed a citizen petition asking the FDA to pull Infants' Tylenol off the market, add boxed autism warnings to acetaminophen products for kids under six, and warn against use during labor and delivery. We've gotten lots of questions, so here's where we are.

Anyone can file a citizen petition. It's a public request form, not a recall or an FDA finding. The agency has 180 days to respond, and can say yes, no, or that it hasn't decided.

Acetaminophen is the only over-the-counter fever and pain medicine appropriate for babies under six months (ibuprofen isn't recommended that young). The infant product exists so dosing is precise, with a syringe marked for small weights. Fever itself usually isn't dangerous, as it's a normal immune response. But losing this option leaves families with no safe way to manage it at home, and some will improvise with adult tablets or kitchen spoons, risking the exact dosing errors this product exists to prevent. Overdose causes liver injury and is the leading cause of acute liver failure in the U.S.

CHD separates acetaminophen taken during pregnancy from acetaminophen given to a baby, arguing the danger is greatest after birth (where there’s the least research). For pregnancy, a Swedish study of nearly 2.5 million children compared siblings, one exposed and one not, accounting for family genetics and environment, and the small association disappeared. The petition calls that design flawed, which is easier than explaining why the signal vanishes once you control for family. For exposure after birth there's no comparable study, only observational data that can't separate the medicine from the reason it was given.

Kids who get more acetaminophen are sick more often, and fever and infection are themselves tied to the outcomes being studied. Acetaminophen use also peaks in the same window when autism is identified, which makes an association especially hard to interpret.

So, what should parents do? Nothing differently. Dose by weight rather than age, and use the syringe in the box. Call your pediatrician for any fever in a baby under three months. Giving your kid Tylenol for a fever isn’t what causes autism.
