"Treating" measles with high dose Vitamin A is an interesting though totally batshit insane thing to recommend.
At least we'll have thousands of ethics scenarios to use for teaching going forward!

How COVID antivaxxers fuelled a worrying backlash to a life-saving science
By Hayley Gleeson

Vaccine Nation is a warning about the acceleration of the anti-vaccination movement during the pandemic and worrying declines in vaccination rates around the world. Can we correct course before it's too late?

Measles by itself is not highly lethal, but the danger it poses is serious for three reasons.

First, it is the most contagious disease known to humankind. The Spanish Flu had an infection rate of 1.5-2. Measles has an infection rate of 12-18.

Second, Measles can hide in the body for years, cross the blood-brain barrier, and cause death long after you forgot about it.

Third, the extreme danger of measles is what it does to your immune system. Throughout your life, as your body contracts and fights off diseases, it keeps a record of how to fight those diseases. Measles comes in and burns 20-70% of those records, so that the next time you catch a sniffle it might turn into a life-threatening lung infection. —summation of the linked podcast by u/animorphsgeek #Measles #MeaslesOutbreak #Epidemiology #PublicHealth #HHS #RFKjr #epidemic #Childhood

You’ve Been Lied to About Rats and the Black Death

Recent research suggests that rats may not have played a critical role in the spread of plague. What can that tell us about outbreak narratives and their importance?

Menghadiri seminar hasil an. Hotma Hutapea di prodi S3 Epidemiologi FKM University of Indonesia dengan topik penelitian mengenai long COVID. Berfoto dengan Prof Mako, Dekan FKM UI, dengan jajarannya. Juga ada prof Sunarno , dari BRIN & Pak Adi Yulandi dari Universitas Atmajaya Jakarta
Sebagai ko-promotor, saya sangat puas dengan upaya Bu Hotma untuk mengintegrasikan Epidemiologi dengan Biologi molekuler dan Bioinformatika.

"Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. dismissed increased screening and understanding of autism for the rising rate of diagnoses in the U.S., instead directly blaming “environmental toxins” for the increase.

“This is a preventable disease. We know it’s an environmental exposure. It has to be. Genes do not cause epidemics,” he told reporters Wednesday while promoting a federal study he's ordered into the condition, which he has said will determine autism's cause by September.

“Genetic markers alone are not going to dictate your destiny. You need an environmental toxin,” he said.

Kennedy said his study is going to look into food additives, mold, water, medicines and ultrasounds as potential causes. "
