As a physician and former U.S. Surgeon General, I am deeply concerned by the unprecedented decision to remove all 17 members of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). For decades, ACIP’s independent, evidence-based recommendations have saved countless

A pivotal moment for #HIV prevention: lenacapavir 2x yearly prevented most new HIV infections in clinical trials. The challenge will be access, education for recipients & clinicians, & equity. LEN must get to all who would benefit, not just the affluent. npr.org/sections/goats…

The growing politicization of vaccines isn't going to serve the United States well, six former #ACIP chairs warn in an opinion piece in STAT.com. The result will be more illness and deaths from preventable diseases & an erosion of #pandemic preparedness.

RFK Jr. is misrepresenting a landmark Danish study that followed 1.2 million children over 24 years. The study found no link between aluminum in vaccines and autism or neurodevelopmental harm. Let’s fact-check his claims - using actual data. 🧵
