Dr. William “Reyn” Archer III joined #HHS, which oversees #CDC, as a counselor in the secy's office after #RFKJr took over in Feb, records show. A critic of #vaccines on social media for the past several yrs, Archer served as TX state #health commissioner in the late 1990s.

…His role reviewing the Advisory Cmte on #Immunization Practices’ recommendations is the latest indication of how RFKJr, who has spent decades raising doubts about the safety & efficacy of vaccines, is reshaping US #policy.

"For as long as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has falsely claimed that vaccines cause widespread harm — from autism to sudden death — he has pointed to the one source he says could immediately prove it...Now, it appears that anti-vaccine activists are similarly girding for the possibility that Kennedy’s promises may fall short — and they’re already laying the groundwork for someone to blame."

#Trump #HHS Secy #RFKJr intends to shift the way #vaccines are tested, a move that the agency said will increase *transparency* but that #medical experts fear could limit #access to vaccines & undermine the public’s trust in #immunization depending on its implementation.

Now, all new vaccines must undergo placebo testing, a procedure in which some people receive the vaccine & others receive an inert substance before the results are compared.

#30DayChartChallenge Día 24: ¡Usando datos de la @WHO! 🌐 Hoy comparamos la cobertura de vacunación DTP3 (% niños 1 año) entre países agrupados por nivel de ingresos (Banco Mundial, 2000-2022). #TimeseriesWeek #SocialData #GlobalHealth

El gráfico muestra:
✅ ¡Gran mejora en todos los grupos hasta ~2019!
⚠️ ¡Pero una brecha enorme persiste! Los países de ingresos altos (amarillo 🟡) cerca del objetivo 95% (línea rosa).
📉 Los países de ingresos bajos (azul índigo 🔵), aunque mejoraron mucho desde el 2000, se quedaron sobre el 70% y sufrieron un retroceso post-pandemia.

Un reflejo claro de la #EquidadEnSalud (o la falta de ella) a nivel global. ¡El acceso a vacunas básicas no es igual para todos!

Gráfico de líneas que muestra las tendencias de la cobertura estimada de vacunación DTP3 (%) en niños de 1 año, desde el año 2000 hasta 2022, para cuatro grupos de ingresos de países según el Banco Mundial. El eje Y va de 0% a 100%. El eje X muestra los años. Hay cuatro líneas de colores distintos: 'Alto' (amarillo/oro, cerca del 95%), 'Medio-Alto' (naranja, subiendo a >90%), 'Medio-Bajo' (azul grisáceo, subiendo de ~65% a ~85%), y 'Bajo' (azul índigo, subiendo de ~49% a ~70% con un descenso reciente). Una línea horizontal discontinua rosa marca el objetivo del 95%. Fuente: WHO/UNICEF Estimates (via WHO GHO).

Vaccines are one of the greatest scientific success stories of our time. They have saved more than 154 million lives in the last 50 years — more than 1 life every 10 seconds.

Recent moves to strip funding from vaccine-related research are shortsighted and self-harming. As is the use of precious resources to revisit debunked claims of links to autism.

The best vaccine isn’t useful if it is not distributed, or not socially accepted. Vaccine equity and hesitancy remain great challenges. Globalizing antivaccine activism could become our greatest hurdle.

It is not time to defund, but rather invest in vaccines.

Vaccines are one of the greatest scientific success stories of our time. Vaccination has saved more than 154 million lives in the last 50 years — more than six lives every minute of every year.

Our technical ability to develop vaccines has outpaced our social, political, and financial systems for ensuring their use. Recent moves to strip funding from vaccine-related research are shortsighted and self-harming. As is the use of precious resources to revisit debunked claims of links to autism.

The best vaccine isn’t useful if it is not distributed, or not socially accepted. Vaccine equity and hesitancy remain great challenges. Globalizing antivaccine activism could become our greatest hurdle.

We should not allow misinformation, disinformation, ignorance and defunding to hinder vaccine development, deployment and use.

It is not time to defund, but rather invest in vaccines.
