While all attention is on #COVID19 our National School of Tropical Medicine @BCM_TropMed (work led by @Rojelio) found widespread toxocariasis in low-income areas of #NYC, led by the #Bronx.

Thank you @CathFlowers for introducing us to city leaders/reps

journals.plos.org/plosntds/artic…
A reason this is significant: Earlier in @JAMAPsych (my first paper in a psychiatric journal) I highlighted the role of toxocariasis for its role in developmental delays among socioeconomically disadvantaged kids (based on work from @sunydownstate)

Finally with Profs. Robin Gasser @unimelb and Ali Rostami we estimated the seroprevalence of toxocariasis journals.plos.org/plosntds/artic… Image

1/n Being about the role of Vitamin A and its role in the treatment and prevention of measles. It’s actually an interesting story, but unfortunately one that is being twisted and weaponized by the wellness/influencer $multibillion to push vitamin A like they did for ivermectin
2/n it starts from an interesting findings 1970s/80s that kids in low-income countries with malnutrition and vitamin A deficiency (and xeropthalmia) had higher mortality from infection. Al Sommer an ophthalmologist from @JohnsHopkinsSPH led those studies

@JohnsHopkinsSPH 3/n Dr. Sommer who went on to become dean at @JohnsHopkinsSPH also demonstrated in Tanzania a therapeutic benefit for hospitalized kids under 2 with measles. I think those studies are sound, but remember they’re malnourished kids or with xerophthalmia

Long COVID impacting more than 1 million children: CDC study suggests. Also a reason why it was important to vaccinate kids vs COVID. It wasn’t only about deaths and hospitalizations. Covid vaccines reduce the risk of long Covid. Papers attached abcnews.go.com/Health/long-co…

1/n I’ve been writing/speaking about a growing convergence between antiscience & antisemitism. Not only on X, but also emails sent to me, swastikas mailed to my home.

2 major themes:

1. The “plandemic” that we made the SARS-2 virus or H5N1

2. Covid vaccine is the “Jew Jab” Image
2/n Lots of disturbing images and often Nazi imagery in the shape of vaccine syringes or masks, such as those mailed to my home X2 or distorted images of Jews in biosafety suits Image
3/n often it’s alleged part of a larger Jewish cabal, sometimes with Jewish scientist vaccine colleagues, others with George Soros or with a member of the Rothschild family Image

1/n But remember: the risk of myocarditis after Covid infection is much higher than it is following vaccination, and it’s not just myocarditis it’s also heart attacks and strokes. So Covid vaccination is an important way to protect your heart health

PolitiFact | Yes, there have been placebo-controlled studies on childhood vaccines. Good article by ⁦@PolitiFact⁩ FYI I recently did a PubMed ⁦@NLM_NIH⁩ search on placebo-controlled RCT and other trials approved for vaccines. Lists attached politifact.com/factchecks/202…
This is what I found for MMR vaccine, this is not intended to be comprehensive, but to debunk the idea that there are no such trials. You can do this yourself, it’s an open access database and just takes a minute. There are many, in fact: Image
