Over the next century, #vaccines virtually wiped out long-feared scourges like #polio & #measles & drastically reduced the toll of many others. Today, however, some preventable, #ContagiousDiseases are making a comeback as #VaccineHesitancy pushes #immunization rates down. And well-established vaccines are facing suspicion even from *public officials*, w/ #RFKJr, a longtime #AntiVaccine activist, running the federal #health dept, #HHS.

Vaccine trust is shifting. Now Republicans are increasingly trusting the government on vaccines, while democrats are trending in the opposite direction.

Alarmingly, barely half of Americans are confident in the safety of the covid vax, which maybe doesn't matter since a new one might not be available in time for next fall's surge, thanks to RFK Jr's anti scientific new rules requiring placebo controlled testing of already tested and safe vaccines that have been optimized for current strains.

And, of course, this increasing distrust of the covid vaccine can be directly linked to RFKJr's misinformation and policies, like his false claims that the covid vaccine was not sufficiently tested, and that it requires additional, unethical placebo- controlled testing.

CIDRAPUS poll finds shifting vaccine trust amid health agency overhauls

Vaccines are one of the greatest scientific success stories of our time. They have saved more than 154 million lives in the last 50 years — more than 1 life every 10 seconds.

Recent moves to strip funding from vaccine-related research are shortsighted and self-harming. As is the use of precious resources to revisit debunked claims of links to autism.

The best vaccine isn’t useful if it is not distributed, or not socially accepted. Vaccine equity and hesitancy remain great challenges. Globalizing antivaccine activism could become our greatest hurdle.

It is not time to defund, but rather invest in vaccines.

Vaccines are one of the greatest scientific success stories of our time. Vaccination has saved more than 154 million lives in the last 50 years — more than six lives every minute of every year.

Our technical ability to develop vaccines has outpaced our social, political, and financial systems for ensuring their use. Recent moves to strip funding from vaccine-related research are shortsighted and self-harming. As is the use of precious resources to revisit debunked claims of links to autism.

The best vaccine isn’t useful if it is not distributed, or not socially accepted. Vaccine equity and hesitancy remain great challenges. Globalizing antivaccine activism could become our greatest hurdle.

We should not allow misinformation, disinformation, ignorance and defunding to hinder vaccine development, deployment and use.

It is not time to defund, but rather invest in vaccines.

False Belief in #MMRVaccine #Autism Link Endures as #Measles Threat Persists | annenbergpublicpolicycenter.or “The persistent false belief that the MMR vaccine causes autism continues to be problematic, especially in light of the recent increase in measles cases,” .. “Our studies on vaccination consistently show that the belief that the MMR vaccine causes autism is associated not simply with reluctance to take the measles vaccine but with #VaccineHesitancy in general.”

The Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania · False Belief in MMR Vaccine-Autism Link Endures as Measles Threat Persists | The Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of PennsylvaniaNew survey finds that a quarter of U.S. adults do not know that claims that the MMR vaccine causes autism are false.

We're tickled pink and admittedly a bit proud that our #CrankyUncle app originally created to help people think better about #ClimateChange and dismiss #ClimateMyths has been adopted and adapted by #UNICEF to combat #VaccineHesitancy !

For small organizations such as ours this is an inspirational object lesson. Little pebbles can make astonishingly big ripples even in a globe-sized pond.

UNICEF tells the story of the new version. The original is at crankyuncle.com.
