Says @DrPanMD in the 2023 summit of @ImmunizeCa: public health is always political, but #vaccines are about saving lives. When you see a political difference in death because conservatives don't vaccinate, is that partisan? Goal: save lives!!!
Says @DrPanMD in the 2023 summit of @ImmunizeCa: politics should not determine how long you live.
Says @DrPanMD in the 2023 summit of @ImmunizeCa: we need to require transparency from companies and hold them accountable from injuries - like tobacco and others were.
Says @DrPanMD in the 2023 summit of @ImmunizeCa: how to communicate with Republican legislators? Organize pro-science Republican parents. They need to tell elected officials #vaccines are important, they want a safe community. Don't endanger me and my family!
Says @DrPanMD in the 2023 summit of @ImmunizeCa: getting vaccinated should be a conservative value. It saves lives, improves communities, helps keep schools open. Why make it partisan?
Says @DrPanMD in the 2023 summit of @ImmunizeCa: need to mobilize politically for policies but should not make it partisan.
Says @DrPanMD in the 2023 summit of @ImmunizeCa: Dominion/Fox News lawsuit hurt Fox News' credibility thanks to things that came out. But doesn't affect algorithm that pushes extremes - media still has to play to the algorithm.

Says @DrPanMD on getting a Legislative Leadership Award in the 2023 summit of @ImmunizeCa: early on, there was a pertussis outbreak. In 2012 - acted to improve rates already. Then bills 2015, 2019. This coalition was with him every step of the way, in many ways.
Says @DrPanMD on getting a Legislative Leadership Award in the 2023 summit of @ImmunizeCa: example - in 2012, Governor Jerry Brown wrote in a religious exemption to the educational requirement. People were disturbed. But needed to work with him. Not in the legislation..
Says @DrPanMD on getting a Legislative Leadership Award in the 2023 summit of @ImmunizeCa: not sued the governor. When passed SB277 in 2015 - governor's team open to discussion. Did not demand a religious exemption. Signed the bill.
Strategizing matters.

Says Dr. Susan Ducore on receiving the Dr. Ronadl P. Bangasser Immunization Leadership Award in the 2023 summit of @ImmunizeCa: it's a challenge, and we can match it and rise above it.
Says Dr. Susan Ducore on receiving the Dr. Ronadl P. Bangasser Immunization Leadership Award in the 2023 summit of @ImmunizeCa: one advantage - willingness to share expertise, that's how we bring things to the people, advocate for tribal programs in many ways.

Says @DrPanMD in the 2023 summit of @ImmunizeCa: the anti-vaccine effort is now bleeding into policy making - now Florida's surgeon general is an anti-vaccine activist willing to fake information and manipulate data about #vaccines.
Says @DrPanMD in the 2023 summit of @ImmunizeCa: and Ron DeSantis creates a group "public health integrity committee" with people working actively to promote anti-vaccine misinformation (Like Bhattacharya, Kuldorff, Hoeg, etc' - right wing anti-vaccine network).
Says @DrPanMD in the 2023 summit of @ImmunizeCa: anti-vaccine views on the right so internalized now that when Donald Trump told followers to get the vaccine developed under his administration - he got booed.

Says @DrPanMD in the 2023 summit of @ImmunizeCa: pivot of anti-vaccine movement from appeal to liberal natural communities to right "freedom" views (there was always a right view).
E.g. Rand Paul and Ben Carson - physicians running for office on the right - pivoted v. vaccines.
Says @DrPanMD in the 2023 summit of @ImmunizeCa: SB277 was a bi-partisan bill (though more democrats), and some Republicans already realized they needed to cater to anti-vaccine people showing up.
Says @DrPanMD in the 2023 summit of @ImmunizeCa: politicization got worse since.

How anti-vaccine activists mislead. A story in three parts.
The anti-vaccine activist said: Denmark bars vaccination for most those under 50. 1/3
The Denmark government says: we are offering additional boosters to people over 50 or who have conditions who increases their risk of severe #covid19 or who are staff in longterm care facilities or who are relative of high risk people. sst.dk/en/English/Cor… 2/3
The Denmark government explains that it is not offering additional vaccines to those under 50 because their risk is lower, but also - maybe especially - because most are already vaccinated and/or have been infected and are protected. sst.dk/en/English/Cor… 3/3

#COVID19 ripped through the Jewish community and left a bad trail in its wake, days where 3-7 people died each day. Painful. And yet #vaccines rates are low. Higher in older. People below 40 and young moms are not vaccinated, need to reach them, say @MarcusBlimi and Tobi Ash.
Reminder: until 1964 rampant discrimination - quotas in school, other events. There was justified mistrust of government, explain @MarcusBlimi and Tobi Ash. Included loss of trust in public health.
During #COVID19 - put in small houses with a lot of children- not allow to leave, very hard for those families. Playgrounds were locked. Felt strongly, strong reaction. Needs seen as not met, felt picked on and discriminated. Hostility to any guideline or mandate.
