The media needs to stop writing headlines like “The CDC changes course on vaccines and autism” and “The CDC defends measles response”.
NONE of this is coming from legitimate scientists at the CDC.
ALL of it is coming from RFK Jr.
Every such headline is causing further harm to public health.

"Secretary Kennedy has been very clear that vaccination is the most effective way to prevent measles. Any attempts to spin this are baseless”.
I’m so damned tired of this nonsense statement re. RFK Jr.
For 20 years he has been systematically undermining vaccines. He continues to lie about them.

As measles rages in S Carolina notice that those responding to this outbreak on the frontlines are pediatricians, family med practitioners, nurses and local public health officials.
Not the wellness influencers and podscasters who discourage vaccination.

Oops, I did it again: I clicked into the comments on a FB post about measles cases. Here are the post & first 3 comments. (I stopped scrolling pretty quickly, b/c I'm queasy.) It's like watching a train wreck, except with the longest train ever - falling cars stretching way off into the distance.

There is a measles outbreak spreading rapidly in South Carolina. Already, 111 people have contracted the virus.
Measles was “declared eliminated from the United States in 2000.” But that is due to the effectiveness of the MMR vaccine. In Spartanburg County, the immunization rate in schools is 90%.
