Sturgis was both predicted and predictable: Here's what I said one month ago (Aug 1) on Day 1 of #sturgis2020 #Sturgis #SturgisMotorcycleRally #SturgisRally
On either this or another segment, I remember saying (sarcastically) “What? Bring 250,000 bikers from parts of the nation where #COVID19 is raging, and have them pile into bars, with no masks out of defiance? What could go wrong?”
Aug 7 on Day 1

Disastrous measles epidemic in my state of Texas now up to 48 in 4 counties: my chart on what happens when children acquire measles vs a very safe and effective MMR vaccine. From my new paper in @PLOSGPH Image
Here’s the link to my paper journals.plos.org/globalpubliche…

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

H5N1 not a reason to be terrified. We know a lot about zoonotic flu, have been preparing for it 20 yrs (unlike when COVID began), + we have candidate vaccines, antivirals, diagnostics

Only 3 things can negate this:

policy failures
pandemic denialism
antiscience disinformation
It was actually the leadership of the W Bush Admin that prioritized a national response to zoonotic flu in 2000s, recruited my mentors, like DA Henderson, Maj Gen Phil Russell, Stewart Simonson, WI Gov. Tommy Thompson, Mike Osterholm, Bruce Gellin, Peggy Hamburg, to name some
So we can defeat H5N1, but it will need to be made a national priority
