Many thanks ⁦@EricaRHill⁩ ⁦@JohnBerman⁩ for hosting me on ⁦@NewDay⁩ this #LaborDay with ⁦@joelockhart⁩ I explained why there’s no path to release an effective safe #covid19 vaccine to the public ahead of the election, and my support of the pharma pledge Image
Also my concern about a post #LaborDayWeekend2020 #COVIDー19 surge due to weekend gatherings, forced K-12 school + college openings. We’re still at 40,000 new cases per day (7 d rolling average) it won’t take much to return us to the 65,000 new cases level we saw a few weeks ago
FYI my use of the term “belts and suspenders” I got that from my mentor Maj Gen Philip K Russell MD, former head of @wrair and a giant in American virology

They’re wrong. Vaccines don’t cause autism. They just don’t. As the book about my daughter details:
1. Extensive published scientific evidence showing no link
2. Lack of plausibility based on the autism genes in early fetal brain development
3. Brain assembloid studies Image
Watch out for antivaccine activists. They don't care about you. They don't care about your family. They have another agenda.
There are a few known environmental exposures linked to autism. They occur through their interactions with autism genes in early pregnancy. I've detailed them for Bobby and wrote about them in my book. He chooses to ignore them. That was 8 years ago, presumably we have more...

1/n The reality: since Mr. Kennedy became HHS Secretary he/staff have waged a war of antivaccine disinformation against the American people on a frequent/regular basis. He did this as U.S. experienced its worse measles epidemic in years, showing zero concern for our health/safety
2/n Here I will list what I consider are some of his worst public statements and acts, it may take me a day or so to get through it all, I hope it’s a useful reference.
3/n first regarding the MMR vaccine vs measles in our pandemic now in 4 states in the Southern Great Plains

Many thanks @BBCWorld for hosting me today to discuss new FDA guidelines for annual COVID immunizations and boosters, including a shift away from universal immunization recommendations to those >65 or a list of underlying health conditions as detailed in @NEJM Image
My concern is that the new recs are based only on acute sequelae including case fatality rates and hospitalizations, but ignore the chronic consequences such as long COVID or thromboembolic complications that can occur even in well adults and teens Image
While the companies can do new clinical trials for health adults or kids I’m guessing this might not be of interest due to the size of the trials required and the ginormous costs Image

My latest in PLOS Biology: it’s not as dark as you might think, there are still lots of opportunities, but they require strategy, long-term planning, openness to the realities that things will be different. Here are some ideas
