1/n I’m seeing on social media and popular podcasts, awful nonsense and false claims about Covid immunizations in pregnancy causing autism in newborns. This is dangerous health disinformation at multiple levels. Here is the real story.
2/n First the adverse health impact of Covid on both pregnant mother and new baby is undisputed, it’s devastating for both, especially high maternal morbidity and mortality

3/n moreover the health benefits of Covid vaccinations for both mother and newborn are also indisputable and life saving. This from @LancetDigitalH thelancet.com/journals/landi…
@LancetDigitalH 4/n @JAMAPediatrics jamanetwork.com/journals/jamap…
@LancetDigitalH @JAMAPediatrics 5/n @Nature_NPJ nature.com/articles/s4154…
@LancetDigitalH @JAMAPediatrics @Nature_NPJ 6/n @nejm nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
@LancetDigitalH @JAMAPediatrics @Nature_NPJ @NEJM 7/n there is no evidence that vaccinations either in infants or in pregnant women cause autism. I detail this here amazon.com/Vaccines-Did-N…
@LancetDigitalH @JAMAPediatrics @Nature_NPJ @NEJM 8/n we know the genetic basis of autism

cell.com/cell/fulltext/…
@LancetDigitalH @JAMAPediatrics @Nature_NPJ @NEJM 9/n and this nature.com/articles/s4158…
@LancetDigitalH @JAMAPediatrics @Nature_NPJ @NEJM 10/n and we know about flawed studies that get weaponized factcheck.org/2024/01/sciche…
@LancetDigitalH @JAMAPediatrics @Nature_NPJ @NEJM 11/n Bottom line:
1. massive data on devastating effects of COVID in pregnant women & their newborns,
2. massive data on the benefits of COVID vaccinations for pregnant women & newborns
3. massive data on the genetic basis of autism; no plausibility for vaccines causing autism
@LancetDigitalH @JAMAPediatrics @Nature_NPJ @NEJM 12/n Watch out for bad guys with an agenda. They don’t care about you, your partner or spouse, or your family.
@LancetDigitalH @JAMAPediatrics @Nature_NPJ @NEJM 13/n and some additional studies nih.gov/news-events/ne…
@LancetDigitalH @JAMAPediatrics @Nature_NPJ @NEJM 14/n and so on and so forth cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/7…

1/n Latest from ⁦@IHME_UW⁩ and their new Global Burden of Disease 2021 data for COVID19 excess mortality in 2021. A few things: First, it helps dispel the myth that LMIC nations on the African Continent were spared the ravages of Covid. A reason…

thelancet.com/journals/lance…
Image
2/n a reason is low vaccination rates. My view: the overemphasis on speed or new technologies and innovations, there were insufficient mRNA and particle vaccine doses made in 2020-21, and these were bought up quickly by high income countries.
3/n I believe if our @TexasChildrens vaccine group received more international assistance we could have moved faster to help LMICs in Africa. As it is even without that help (or very modest help), at least 100 million doses of our low-cost, patent-free Covid vaccine administered

1/n Some good news, according to CDC we’re almost at the lowest number of new Covid hospitalizations in the U.S.since the beginning of the pandemic… Image
2/n also good news no completely new variant accelerating, at least ones that the new XBB annual immunization from last fall (2023) can’t handle Image
3/n but if you are eligible get another booster as recommended by CDC/FDA

1/n Nuremberg 2.0 is a QAnon far-right fantasy that the Covid vaccine scientists & virologists will be tried at some sort of military tribunal similar to those following WWII. It’s an excuse to invoke Nazi imagery, designed to intimidate scientists, portray us as public enemies
2/n I report on this in my recent book with @JHUPress amazon.com/Deadly-Rise-An…
@JHUPress 3/n the use of Nazi imagery to intimidate scientists has a historical basis, which I wrote about in a paper last year @ProjectMUSE muse.jhu.edu/article/902035…

1/n Our ⁦@TexasChildrens⁩ laboratory is rapidly accelerating a new human hookworm anemia vaccine for LMICs.

Fyi hookworm, malaria, yellow fever, dengue once common in East Texas (and in some cases returning). Here’s a hookworm map from early 1900s. Even Harris County, Image

1/n There have been several papers out in the last few months examining or reviewing the PEDIATRIC disease burden of Covid + the benefits of vaccination, will summarize some of the key interesting ones from 2023-24 here in this thread, in some cases also a popular article on it Image

1/n Well he's right about one thing, follow the money. And he will find out how we develop low-cost neglected disease vaccines for global health. I think in my 40 years of this I've made less than $3,000 from our vaccines, nothing from interviews/podcasts...but guess who has?
