BOOK NEWS! I'm delighted to announce that Booster Shots is available for preorder and to share the cover with you! Measles, the world’s most infectious virus, evolves with us – aided by poverty, war, and neglect. Its recent resurgence spotlights our ongoing failure to protect kids from preventable harm and suggests how we can make things better in the future. I’m excited for you to read it!

One of the factors contributing to rising vaccine hesitancy is a sort of "collective amnesia," explains @adamratnermd.bsky.social. For generations that have no experience with deadly diseases like polio, it's easy to forget why we vaccinate against them. https://t.co/UWImrZwIoi

If someone thinks the measles outbreak and childhood death in Texas are "not unusual" or that these things "happen all the time", they are deeply misinformed. Don't be fooled. https://t.co/HB1lRPW64W
