“Journalists, public health officials, governments, and international organizations must do a better job of promoting the life-saving benefits of childhood immunization.

In the final analysis, no expense should be spared to keep children safe from vaccine preventable diseases.”

91 days, 21 hours, 43 minutes.

That's how long it took Meta to delete a disgusting, vile post and, presumably, their profile.

They deleted my #SciComm post about Louis Pasteur on World Zoonosis Day in less than two hours.

#Meta purveyors and victims of #PeerPressure?

This is the first time they have deleted a post I have reported in such a long time—definitely the first time they have since I resurrected my Facebook profile.

“Lobbying to stop vaccination for polio is like advocating to remove fresh water and sewers from our cities. If we stop vaccinating for polio, we would return to a daily life filled with death, disease, and disability that is nightmarish to even contemplate.”

"The Covid vaccine was a MASSIVE
success during the pandemic.
Look how global deaths plummeted once the vaccines were rolled out at scale in early 2022!!"

Whooping cough (deadly!) continues to surge in the USA, with reported cases soaring to more than 32,000 this year — nearly five times the 6,500 cases recorded during the same period last year — marking the highest levels in a decade. Why? A drop in the number of vaccinated kids.

Vaccination works. Period.
“Vaccines are a big deal. A landmark study published in The Lancet this spring calculated global vaccination efforts targeting 14 pathogens since 1974 had averted 154 million deaths due to disease and decreased global infant mortality by 40 per cent.”

Seven examples provided.

I'm a Christian, but you're missing the point here. Even taking the Bible literally, the diseases were NOT "eradicated" in those Bible verses. The individual cases were healed, yes, but the viruses themselves continued to spread throughout the population. They were only wiped off of the face of the Earth with #vaccines.

Remember the story of the man on his roof in a flood/hurricane, and how God gave the man the means to get safe, but the man kept waiting for magical miracles.

Vaccines are like the lifeboat and helicopter in the story. We must not sit back and wait for God to do all the work. We have to do our part and get on board. (See also Matthew 4:7.)
