This information is wrong. As someone who has done cell culture for 10 years, using RPMI media to grow L-929 cells is not wrong. It's pretty common to grow these cells in DMEM, MEM, or RPMI media as long as it's supplemented with FBS, L-glutamine, and Pen/Strep. Don't lie.
Dr. Leslie Rodriguez was a EPCC Rise to the Bridge graduate in 2017, & after recently earning her PhD, she spoke to Rise students and former colleagues today on T Cell & vaccine research. A wonderful role model for our students! #EPCCpride
RFK Jr has been stating that the "anti-measles protection" of natural infection is better than vaccination
First - if he thinks measles is not bad for you, then why care how good or long lasting the immunity against it is??
Second - Measles is NOT good for you. Do not get it to gain immunity against it. Get a vaccine - it is SAFE
Hell, it is actually a live weakened virus vaccine - it is for all purposes a very mini infection. So, if you want an infection to give you immunity, then the vaccine does that too...
The arguments against a measles vaccine that are coming from HHS Secretary are beyond idiotic. They are self contradictory. If he wants to support public health he'd start by working to build bridges and trust. Not sow distrust of some of the safest medical interventions on the plant.
"but there's a rise in autism cases"
Yes, because we are getting proper tests for diagnostic purposes. Why else would there be a "rise" of cases?
I fear the education system has failed many individuals.
Trans kids didn’t hike your rent. Billionaires did.
Immigrants didn’t make your groceries more expensive. Billionaires did.
Federal workers didn’t take away your health care. Billionaires did.
2 measles deaths in the US now.
Measles cases popping up all over the country.
Utah banned fluoride today—though 75 years of data show it prevents tooth decay.
RFK Jr is touting cod liver oil and “nutrition” as cures for the most contagious human disease.

to measles. Even an infant less than 1 year old has died because of measles. I cannot stress this enough, as someone who works with vaccines, they are important! Vaccines are not "bad". They are necessary to prevent/control infections.
Measles was declared eradicated in 2000 thanks to science and vaccines. And now, as of 02/28/25, there is said to be thousands of unvaccinated individuals infected with measles in the state of Texas.
I will never comprehend the logic behind anti-vaxxers. A child has died due
Correct. We know what's in the vaccine. We know how it's produced. We know how it works 😭
I literally do vaccine research. I'm not the one who makes the vaccine, though. I just find out how it works, however, I still know what's in the vaccine.
Guess what?
Vaccine scientists know exactly what’s in every vaccine, how much, & why they’re included.
Why? Because scientists put them there.
That’s literally how medicine formulation works.
People claiming “no one knows what’s in your vaccines” are telling on themselves.
Trump is holding all the nation’s hospitals and vital services hostage to seize power from Congress and hand it over to billionaires.
We must state the truth: this is a constitutional crisis. It’s a massive, illegal power grab that the House and Senate have a sworn duty to stop.
