When a small study cast doubt on the measles vaccine in 1998, scientists didn’t dismiss autism concerns. They tested them. From Denmark to global meta-analyses, studies tracking millions of children all reached the same conclusion: MMR vaccines don’t cause autism: http://bit.ly/4m971vk | 15 comments on LinkedIn

In our forthcoming peer-reviewed study publication in the International Journal of Public Sector Performance Management, Yulong Li, Anthony Scotina, and I wanted to understand why some U.S. states embraced COVID-19 vaccination while others lagged far behind, even when vaccines were widely available. By analyzing all 50 states, we uncovered “three Americas,” each shaped by a mix of politics, personality, and how leaders communicated with the public. Governors who talked more often and more positively about vaccines tended to lead states with higher vaccination rates. Personality traits like openness and anxiety also mattered in how communities responded. In contrast, states with little messaging, negative tone, and looser policies struggled the most. Our takeaway is simple but powerful: how leaders communicate matters, emotions matter, and people respond differently to health messages. Understanding this can help leaders connect better when trust matters most. Anyone interested in a copy of the article, feel free to contact us.

As the Secretary of Health and Human Services tells the American public that the measles vaccine causes deaths every year, and to try Vitamin A, South Carolina's measles epidemic is surging right before holiday travel is set to kick off. Yay team?

Did you know that by age 24-26, a projected 33% of adults who received the MMR vaccine are susceptible to clinical infection with measles virus?

Yet another large study confirming the benefits of the mRNA vaccines. Compare this to a "case report" or short term studies in a few patients that are often used by antivaxxers to claim damages.

A toutes les personnes qui me demandent bien légitimement le lien entre l'Université d'Angers et le colloque consacré à la "sécurisation de l'introduction des pratiques de santé non conventionnelles" lequel, je l'espère très sincèrement, n'aura pas lieu au Sénat le 22 janvier prochain et auquel auraient dû participer nos "amis" les comiques du Collège Universitaire de Médecines Intégrative et Complémentaires (CUMIC) et du GETCOP Groupe d'Evaluation des Thérapies Complémentaires Personnalisées et des pratiques innovantes, je dois quelques explications.

L'affiche annonçant le programme et la liste des intervenants indique une adresse mail pour l'inscription des participants à ce colloque. Celle-ci renvoie à AMFOR Compétences, un organisme de formation angevin certifié #Qualiopi (mais c'est juste pour en mettre plein la vue, si ça avait la moindre valeur, ça se saurait) très très fier d'afficher la confiance affichée par quelques uns de ses clients dont le GETCOP, l'Université d'Angers et la Chambre Nationale des Praticiens de la Santé se faisant passer pour un syndicat mais qui n'est qu'une association "loi 1901" basée à Angers.

On pourrait s'attendre à ce que cette chambre nationale des praticiens de la santé soit composée exclusivement de praticiens dont le métier est reconnu comme profession de santé dans le Code de la Santé Publique... que nenni !
Outre les 15 "disciplines" pseudo-médicales qui y sont représentées on trouve dans son conseil scientifique une vétérinaire homéopathe ostéopathe, un expert en nutrition et épigénéique et... Michel de Lorgeril, cardiologue connu pour ses prises de position sur l'inutilité présumée des statines dans l'hypercholestérolémie, le caractère bénéfique du cholestérol sur le système cardiovasculaire et son opposition aux vaccins...
Dans son conseil d'administration, outre quelques ostéopathes, un ingénieur chimiste / naturopathe ou un chiropracteur, on retrouve le Dr Bernard Payrau, président du GETCOP... étonnant non ? Et qui est donc la responsable du pôle formation de notre syndicat ? Myriam Pichon Godet, présidente de l'AMFOR... c'est très fort !

Autre client majeur d'AMFOR, OGA Atlantic qui proposait à son catalogue 2024, outre de "libérer son enfant intérieur et développer son potentiel professionnel" de découvrir les clés de l'immunité (sic) pour "Comprendre les conséquences d’un mauvais choix alimentaire, du stress et des émotions négatives sur la perméabilité de la muqueuse intestinale et la chute de l’immunité" et "apprendre comment renforcer l’immunité de manière naturelle
et se débarrasser des toxines pour se régénérer" avec de la phytothérapie, de l'aromathérapie et des techniques de "libération de stress et soins énergétiques" délivrées par une naturopathe / kinésiologue et thérapeute quantique !

Bon, Stephanie RIST et Claude Malhuret, si ça vous suffit pas pour mettre un coup d'arrêt définitif à cette mascarade...
Et dites, le Ministère du Travail, on arrête de certifier n'importe quoi ?

This is a really important acknowledgement Kashyap Patel as the Oncology community has been relatively silent on the unusual transition of cancers post pandemic.

They appear far more aggressive and spread much earlier than normal.

However, linking it to long Covid is a mistake, based on my research. Usually these individuals have a hyper-responsive immune system which is the main predisposition for persistent immune dysregulation and symptoms.

Conversely, long Covid symptoms primarily initiated and exacerbated by certain Covid "interventions" would be a far more likely issue because of probable cellular interferon suppression.

The first step is to acknowledge and then research for specific associations.

Didier Raoult : adieu l’acide hyaluronique, la composition et le prix des crèmes anti-rides de sa marque interpelle, “On s'attendait à mieux” : https://lnkd.in/eCyNE4MC

Children appear to be getting sick more often, and viral transmission in schools is stronger and more sustained than in recent pre-pandemic years. That raises uncomfortable questions.

Developing childhood immune systems are sensitive to disruption, and during COVID we chose to intervene with vaccines in a very low-risk cohort at population scale.

At the time, this was framed as precaution to "protect granny". In hindsight, it may also have been an unnecessary gamble.

It’s important to acknowledge current health trajectories if we want to understand where population health is heading.

This chart shows a clear signal: education settings are now acting as a major amplifier of respiratory infection, a pattern likely to repeat across much of the Northern Hemisphere.

We still don’t fully understand whether repeated SARS-CoV-2 exposure, altered immune training, or vaccine-era decisions have changed how children respond to infections. But what is becoming clear is that children now play a central role in spreading infection — first to parents, then to grandparents, and ultimately into care facilities and hospitals.

The question we should be asking isn’t whether this is uncomfortable to discuss. It’s whether we’re starting to see the long-term implications — not just for children, but for the whole population.

📄 A new global analysis in Vaccines uses machine-learning counterfactuals to quantify just how much disease and economic burden has been averted by Hib vaccination over the past three decades.

👉Drawing on data from 159 countries, researchers estimated that Hib immunization has averted 1.32 million deaths and 91 million disability adjusted life-years. From an economic perspective, the authors find that Hib vaccination has generated substantial human capital gains and is cost-saving in all countries studied.

Yet another measles outbreak shows the consequences of anti-vaccine sentiments.

When should social media posts have legal consequences?

Comparing and contrasting the cases of Lucy Connolly and Alaa Abd El-Fattah

David Allen Green
New Statesman

“Let’s consider a hypothetical situation: person [A] uses a social media platform to publish [B] about a group of people [C], when [B] is an especially unpleasant statement. If you know nothing else about this social media utterance, is it possible to have a view on whether [A] should face an adverse legal sanction?

Some would say that, even at this level of abstraction, [A] has a right to free speech and so there is nothing the state can and should do to [A] without violating that right. Most of us, however, would want to know more before expressing a view.

…The better position is to look at the content of [B]. No legal regime guarantees absolute freedom for all possible speech acts. Fraud, for example, is often committed by spoken or written words, as are conspiracies to commit murder. No serious person would say fraud and conspiracies to commit murder should be protected by a right to free expression.

…In today’s hyper-partisan political culture, a common position is “free speech for me, but not for thee”. Those claiming the benefit of the right to free expression often make grand declarations against censorship and so on, while simultaneously nodding along with prohibitions and sanctions on others.

The problem is that fundamental rights do not only exist on the rarified plane of abstraction, but instead have to be applied in concrete practical cases.

And this often means that what can be a “free speech” issue in one situation can quickly become a “they deserve it” dismissal in another, with only the slightest change of fact – usually the identity of [A] or the group [C] that is being verbally insulted or threatened.”

"Over the holiday period, The Guardian leader column is looking ahead at the themes of 2026. Today we examine how the White House’s war on vaccines has left the future of a key technology uncertain and up for grabs."

Just look at the image to understand the real implications of the MAHA policies. We're getting to a similar situation as in Samoa (2019), with 83 deaths compared to zero in 2017. And other once gone diseases are coming back too.

Lies have real consequences. Don't fall victim for antivaxx propaganda, get your vaccines. | 10 comments on LinkedIn
