Thank you. I shared this with my two senators and representative. Will they see it? All I can do is try. Next week I will call to ask if they read it, print it out and mail it. Your "retorts" are so valuable.
I work in Alaska and have heard the story of getting rid of HepB in the native communities. All those years of work and outreach and then to have to watch this happen.
"In a sign of how hastily the committee was put together, the advisers — about half of whom were only appointed to the panel by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. earlier this week — needed explanations of the usual protocol for these meetings, the design of scientific studies and critical flaws in the data they suggested including. The panelists also seemed unsure about the purpose of the Vaccines for Children program, which provides free shots to roughly half of all American children. Approving which vaccines the program should cover is a key function of the committee. The decision to rescind the M.M.R.V. recommendation is unlikely to have widespread consequences. The recommendations for other vaccines given separately to protect against those diseases — the more common practice — remain unchanged. In a bizarre twist, the members also voted 8 to 1 to have the Vaccines for Children program continue to cover the M.M.R.V. vaccine for children under 4.

Lord in heaven, "It was unclear whether the members all understood what they were voting for. Three members abstained altogether, one of them explicitly citing his confusion as the reason." Madonna Mia, if we were expecting "expertise" from these hand-selected band of jamokes, apparently we need to think again! Sec. Kennedy certainly knows how to restore confidence by choosing "pinball wizards" to decide on the future health of our children. Chairman Cassidy, you just lost your primary, and you deserve it.
Moderna has a manufacturing facility for mRNA vaccines. My institition has a containment level 3 GMP manufacturing facility that can make any commercial-grade vaccine on any platform except eggs safely to support up to a phase 2 trial. But Canada doesn’t yet have the manufacturing capacity we need. Infrastructure takes time to build
I wrote the NDP in Saskatchewan ( the opposition to the Sask Party) and also Mark Carney in a response to a survey he sent out - in that survey I added extra comments regarding asking for present and future plans in Canada - not only for fall covid and flu vaccines ( which a pharmacist says they are out Oct 14)
but also for continued research for potential variants with Covid /flu and also Bird Flu potential skip to humans
Thank you for sharing your voice and expertise and raising awareness
I would never have written my Prime Minister nor the provincial opposition-if I hadn’t watched and read your posts
No, the sky is not falling. Vaccination is becoming less accessible and continually undermined. People can look at my credentials and yours and decide who is credible on this topic.
You’re wrong. Wait a few days for their recommendations. They’re not banning vaccines; only modifying their schedules. I don’t agree with everything they say but they’re not actively trying to give children diseases which, by the way I contracted as a child because vaccines weren’t yet available. Keep in mind these are not laws but only recommendations.
MMRV is to be split into separate MMR and varicella inoculations because of increased risk of febrile seizures when given concurrently. Waiting on HBV. Not a shocking recommendation.

Christ almighty... This goes nowhere good, but hey, residents will get to see diseases that I saw in the Amish in training! :(
God help us.
I don't like this at all but it's unfortunately true
AHIP is telling RFK Jr. to get bent

I’m hearing Canada is making their own vaccines ?

Thank you, Shelly!!! ❤️
"This will decrease access just by virtue of making vaccination less convenient for some parents."
Not enough people realise that access is the main driver of undervaccination, not "scepticism". Clearly, antivaxxers understand this.
(By the way, "Why is lunch so short?" made me spray my coffee everywhere!)
The author and poster are both posting misinformation. The sky is not falling.

This commenter is spreading misinformation that kills. The weight of deaths and disabilities that result will be partly on their shoulder. Shameful.
You’re wrong. Wait a few days for their recommendations. They’re not banning vaccines; only modifying their schedules.

They are recommendations that determine access for many people, so they are in effect preventing vaccination without technically banning them.
And they are also actively trying to give children these diseases.
Please wait for the recommendations before you accuse them.
What are you talking about? They voted on MMRV already. HBV is first up tomorrow for a vote and I’m pretty confident I know what the outcome will be.
MMRV is to be split into separate MMR and varicella inoculations because of increased risk of febrile seizures when given concurrently. Waiting on HBV. Not a shocking recommendation.
The naivete burns.
