Très intéressante info dans le domaine de la sociologie : une étude britannique indique que la #vaccination contre papillomavirus réduirait le risque de cancer du col de l'utérus de 90%.
A young child in Ontario has died of measles It’s the first measles death in the province in over a decade, Public Health Ontario reports. The unvaccinated child was under age 5 and was among five children hospitalized with the infection.
What I'd like to know is why did SkyNews (Australia) choose to go with the headline: "AstraZeneca withdrawn worldwide over side effects" #covid19#antivaxxer#antivax#scicomm

If I heard correctly, almost all of #RFK's startup seed money for launching his campaign came from #Republicans in hopes that he'd siphon votes away from #Biden.
But instead, his #AntiVax lunacy and anti-Biden attacks are drawing more #Mango voters than Biden voters, so now they are attacking him.
“Quebec's law does not apply to post-secondary institutions. Smith said those agreements also require provincial oversight in Alberta because the federal government is making political decisions about which research projects to fund.”
Outrageous that #NPR.org posted an article (not linked since it should not get clicks) titled "RFK Jr. may have missed a major opportunity with his VP pick" as if he were a serious political candidate worthy of public consideration and not a #ConspiracyTheory#AntiVax wackjob.
Please please please, #journalists and editors, do your job of helping society actually function better instead of allowing everything to collapse into ruin.
The number of vaccine skeptics is on the rise in the Netherlands, endangering the collective protection against diseases like the measles. Cartoon for Trouw.
"A recent JAMA study identified 52 prominent physicians in the US alone who consistently shared medical misinformation to large audiences on social media platforms, most of it antivaccine in nature. Perceived experts make up a significant proportion of anti-vax social media communities. How medical regulators should respond to this phenomenon remains an open, urgent question."
💉Covid vaccines are safe, the #antivax movement should be shamed, & their leaders ousted from society:
The vast bulk of the adverse events of special interest did not show any statistically significant increased risk after receiving the vaccines. The size of this study is so large, that it allows the researchers to ID rare adverse events, & they could only find a handful.
We're living in a "sick" society. #Disinformation is killing ppl *deliberate -so disinfo.:
Children’s Health Def., an #AntiVax grp founded by #RFKJr rec. $23.5M in contributions & other rev. in 2022, 8X what it collected the year before the pandemic began.
4 major nonprofits that rose to prominence during the #coronavirus pandemic by capitalizing on the spread of #medical#misinformation collectively gained >$118M between 2020 & 2022, enabling the orgs to deepen their #influence in statehouses, courtrooms & communities across the country, a Washington Post analysis of tax records shows.
Children’s Health Defense, an #antivax grp founded by #RFKJr, received $23.5M in contributions, grants & other revenue in 2022— 8X what it collected the yr before the pandemic— allowing it to expand its state-based #lobbying ops to cover ½ the country. Another influential anti-vax grp, InformedConsentActionNetwork, nearly quadrupled its rev during that time to about $13.4M in 2022, giving it resources to finance lawsuits seeking to roll back #vaccine reqs as Americans’ faith in vaccines drops.
