Facts matter!

[New York Times Opinion @nytopinion]

Fake medical news is spreading fast on social media. But we can fight back against misinformation, as @drg1985 explains. https://t.co/x27DEg6fH6

This vital information should matter. #preventdrugresistance #superbug

A 2018 study showed that from 2012 to 2015, #flu vaccination among adults reduced the risk of being admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) with flu by 82%.

This is heart-breaking. There is an active vaccination campaign but poor infrastructure, attacks on health centres and a lack of access to routine healthcare hinder efforts to stop measles spreading in DRC
More than 6,000 dead in world's worst outbreak

Time to end non medical exemptions

Be informed about vaccine preventable deaths. This is critical: Evidence and strong science matter. Resist the misinformation plague #Vaccinesnatter

[Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance @gavi]

Thank you for the important reminder that #vaccines are safe, effective and have far fewer risks than the diseases they prevent! #VaccinesWork

You Are Unvaccinated and Got Sick. These Are Your Odds. https://t.co/YB7SQniGvr

Anthropologist Julienne Anoko has gone to great lengths to improve relationships between communities affected by #Ebola and health care workers. Her commitment to understanding and eliminating mistrust towards responders is truly commendable. https://t.co/6ZhNbNC0HS

America understands the vital tradition of environmental protection. Yes, the GOP - from Teddy Roosevelt to passage of NEPA underscore the value of environmental regs. Where are the champions now? It impacts public health issues, clean air, water...

[PBS News @NewsHour]

The Trump administration proposed a major overhaul of environmental assessments for a wide range of projects.

It would eliminate or limit reviews for oil pipelines, some roads and other construction. https://t.co/xqMmjBdi1J

Thanks Dr. Adams, we need to get America to vaccinate against flu. It will can save your life, or the life of your child!

[Judy Gray @Graymatters7]

Have you had your flu vaccine? Activity is picking up@throughout the country, so if you haven’t done so, get vaccinated now. #VaccinesWork

[Prof Peter Hotez MD PhD DSc(hon) @PeterHotez]

#Flu is taking off now. Still not too late to get your #vaccine. Ignore the crap misinformation from #antivax websites, FB, Amazon. Flu vaccine can save your life and save your child's life. We've already had too many pediatric deaths among unvaccinated kids. #happynewyear2020

[Prof Peter Hotez MD PhD DSc(hon) @PeterHotez]

Tragically, #Samoa #measles epidemic remains active, emergency period extended. Death toll now up to 72, mostly children. Measles epidemics are very difficult to contain, vaccinating contacts, and contacts of the contacts. A massive undertaking https://t.co/gDz6wj8u2G

[Seth Berkley @DrSethBerkley]

Interesting article examining why China must develop national plan 4hepatitis control in order to achieve 2030 health SDGs. Given their heavy viral hepatitis burden, this issue needs urgent attention. We were proud to work with them to introduce Hep B vax https://t.co/fiSRnbnmqn

Today is #HumanRightsDay when we must recognize that children have a fundamental right to be immunized against serious or even deadly infections + teenagers afforded cancer protection. Those rights cannot be denied because of misinformation or a globalizing antivaccine movement

[Gates Foundation @gatesfoundation]

More women and girls in the world’s lowest income countries have access to family planning than ever before. We need to build on progress to ensure no woman or girl is left behind. https://t.co/3LODTgYE6r
