An Ebola outbreak in eastern DR Congo is now the world’s second largest on record, killing about 50 people every day and spreading faster than any previous epidemic.
Al Jazeera’s Catherine Soi reports.
We have already seen the consequences of RFK Jr.’s anti-vaccine rhetoric. Vaccination rates are falling. Measles cases are surging. Diseases we once brought under control are at risk of becoming a threat again.
This move further undermines trust in proven vaccines and puts more children at risk from preventable diseases.
Vaccines are among the most thoroughly studied, effective tools we have to protect children from serious vaccine-preventable diseases. Decisions about how and when vaccines are used should be driven by rigorous scientific evidence, patient safety, and independent medical and public health expertise. Altering a proven vaccination schedule without credible evidence risks weakening public confidence and putting children’s health at risk.
If you have questions about vaccines, talk to your child’s physician. Putting our children’s health at risk is not an option

I’m a doctor. This executive order is wrong. The President does not have the expertise to make these changes.
Vaccines are overwhelmingly safe. Vaccines are effective. Vaccines DO NOT cause autism.
Breaking up vaccines will mean children have to get more shots to get the same protection, not fewer shots. It will increase hesitancy and make children less safe.
Parents should listen to their child’s pediatrician about vaccines rather than listening to an inaccurate executive order. This is so wrong.

Did Pfizer "leak" a 9-page document of secret vaccine side effects? ❌ No.
The 9 pages actually list Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESI)—used by health authorities to track potential issues, NOT confirmed side effects.

Thousands of Palestinians have taken part in a mass funeral in Gaza City for 112 members of the Hassayna and Abu Sharia families, whose remains were recently recovered from beneath the rubble nearly three years after an Israeli air attack.

🇵🇸🇮🇱 112 bodies in rows under the sun, wrapped in flags, nearly all from one extended family.
Gaza City buried them today, 3 years late, because that's how long it took to dig them out of the rubble.
Per Palestinian authorities, an Israeli airstrike flattened a cluster of apartment buildings in Sabra while families slept in November 2023, killing 308 people from the same clan. Women and children among them.
Half were recovered back then. The other 153 stayed buried under the wreckage until a team of 40 spent 17 days pulling out 112 of them.
One extended family all but wiped out in a single night, and the Israeli military still hasn't said a word about this strike.
And this is just one clan. Palestinian health authorities count more than 73,000 dead, with thousands more still under the concrete.

A word of advice to our Muslim influencers and celebrities:
1- Life is short and it is a test as Allah stated in the Quran in many places.
2- Ali may Allah be pleased with him, the cousin of the prophet salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam and the 4th Caliph said:
And if we were to be set free after we die, then death would be a relief for everyone
The problem is that when we die, we are resurrected, and after that, we are questioned about every thing!
3- Fame is blinding and deafening. It makes
us lose our senses till wrong becomes right and sins become the norm in our lives. This is when we become "comfortably numb"!
4- Gaining likes and more followers is the sole objective in life to most our Muslim celebrities. They don’t care whether this pleases Allah or angers Him! Fame is quick sand that sucks you in with every move you make.
5- People may complement you for your charm, your beautiy or your art and to tell the truth, you might be gifted in all of that. The problem is: would all of that benefit you in your grave and on the day of judgment or would it only further your descent in hell?
5- Look at all the celebrities and influencers 20 or 30 years before you. Where are they now and where is their fame, charm and admirers?
They are all forgotten and only Allah knows what is happening to them in their graves as we speak.
6- It doesn’t matter what people say about you as there will always be people who adore you and people who hate your guts.
What really counts is: What does Allah say about you?
I'll be honest. If Dr. Fauci is the scientific foundation of your argument, congratulations. You've demonstrated you can name a scientist. You haven't demonstrated that you understand the science.
Understanding Fauci's work requires years of training in immunology, infectious diseases, epidemiology, and critical appraisal of the medical literature. That's not something you pick up from TikTok, podcasts, or partisan influencers.
So I'll ask a simple question. How many of you criticizing or defending Fauci have doctorate-level training in the relevant sciences? Better yet, how many have actually read the primary literature instead of arguing over personalities?
Pro-Trump states and counties had far higher COVID death rates.
Misinformation and disinformation were to blame.
Trump and Musk were the biggest propagators of misinformation in terms of reach.
COVID-19 mRNA vaccines saved millions of lives.
That's not a political statement (I don't do politics), it's a scientific fact...

Healthcare worker here. I worked the COVID pandemic front lines. I can testify with 100% proven reliability that the only patients who died were primarily the UNVACCINATED.
Dr. Fauci is a deadly pathogen professional whose efforts and efficacy saved countless lives. The man’s a hero.
Night shift. You are the ONLY doctor in casualty.
4 critical patients arrive at once.
What is your exact priority order (1st to 4th) and why?
A) Bee sting, facial swelling
B) Left-sided paralysis, BP 170/90
C) Crushing chest pain, sweating
D) Asthma, silent chest, SpO2 84%
