🧵1/N New study published in @JAMA_current on re-emergence of vaccine-eliminated infectious diseases under declining vaccination in the US. We model long-term risk and conditions for return to endemicity for measles, rubella, polio, & diphtheria. https://t.co/D5B5C7U8Jf

🚨 My lab is hiring! @UCIrvine Seeking full-time data scientists & machine learning engineers.

We apply LLMs and AI tools to clinical data, rapidly scaling up epidemiological analyses of sepsis, hospital-acquired infections, and more. https://t.co/wGbJ8xpKlt #MedTwitter 1/x

What is the “Vaccines for Children”program? It is a way for un and underinsured children to have access to vaccines that the ACIP has approved. It has prevented > 500 M illnesses, helped avoid > 1 M deaths and saved trillions in healthcare costs.

[Jeremy Faust MD MS (ER physician) @jeremyfaust]

Florida Man-in-Chief Dr. Lapado admits he didn't study the impact of ending routine vaccination requirements.

Ya know who did? Real scientists.

Including Dr. Yvonne Maldonado, who Sec. Kennedy recently FIRED from the CDC's vaccine advisory committee.

Answer: This is dangerous.

[Nathan Lo @NathanLo3579]

@jakescottMD @Stanford_ID That’s too kind- thanks to you for all your vaccine work and writing!

[Noel Brewer @noelTbrewer]

Liaison members are being dismissed from ACIP work groups. That means two things. A huge loss of clinical expertise. And no brakes on fulfilling the new committee’s goal to take away vaccines from kids and adults.

[The American Association of Immunologists (AAI) @ImmunologyAAI]

🚨 AAI is proud to announce the launch of the AAI RESTORE Grants Program, an $8M emergency funding initiative to support scientists whose immunology-focused federal research grants were abruptly terminated or frozen in 2025.

Stanford paid 35,000 people to quit social media.

This was the largest study on emotional health in history.

The results were so shocking, scientists called it "comparable to therapy."

Here's what happens when you break free from the algorithm:

A powerful new piece in @NatureMedicine by APSA past presidents & board members discusses how funding cuts could disrupt the physician-scientist pipeline and future of biomedical innovation, and outline urgent solutions to safeguard the next generation. https://t.co/xwz2xu3OXu

Atul Butte died yesterday.
The world lost a giant.
A big bear of a man.
With a huge smile.
With love for everyone.
With energy that could power a room.
I loved everything about Atul.
I loved how he was always happy.
I loved how excited he was about science and helping people.

[Carlos del Rio @CarlosdelRio7]

Be sure to keep this handy.

[Dr. Tom Frieden @DrTomFrieden]

Given the changes on ACIP, I worry about what advice doctors will be able to get from the federal government to share with their patients. We’re all less safe if we can’t get fact-based information about vaccines. https://t.co/VJWQzsttGX

[Jake Scott, MD @jakescottMD]

Loud claims are circulating that “no childhood vaccine was ever tested against placebo.” That is flat-out wrong. Here’s what the evidence actually shows. 🧵👇

The ACIP members I know are incredibly knowledgeable, rigorous, and thoughtful individuals, and I am grateful for their service. Our country continues its self-inflicted injuries to our scientific and public health capacity. Who will suffer? All Americans, esp young children.

[Nathan Lo @NathanLo3579]

My confidence that HHS has disbanded our country's independent advisory committee issuing clinical guidance on vaccines to follow "unbiased science" and improve the health of Americans is...extraordinarily low. https://t.co/a5ibzjKYIG

[Nathan Lo @NathanLo3579]

More likely, the impact of this decision will be a large drop in efficacious and safe childhood vaccines, see our recent article: https://t.co/D5B5C7U8Jf
