"The MAHA movement’s embrace of corporate sponsorship runs counter to its anti-corporate message: that the food and health care industries have knowingly poisoned Americans’ health, causing obesity, vaccine injuries and chronic disease. The MAHA PAC, its political fundraising arm, has also accepted large donations from companies." https://www.politico.com/news/2026/09/20/maha-rfk-summit-walmart-anthropic-openai-01084806 #PublicHealth #MAHA #HHS #insurance #PhRMA #vaccines #immunizations #USpol

"It’s frustrating. How can I make people understand I have a very genuine concern for their child? And I know they share that concern, but maybe it’s not the same degree of concern, because they don’t understand the illness and how severe it can become." https://kffhealthnews.org/public-health/utah-measles-outbreak-vaccines-doctors-pediatricians-speak-out/ #healthcare #PublicHealth #measles #vaccines #immunizations #pediatricians #PrimaryCare #prevention #utah

"The specialists told ABC News that there are several reasons for the U.S. breaking measles case records for the second year in a row, including declining vaccination rates, people not fearing the measles virus, a loss of trust in public health institutions and a perceived lack of clear guidance and communication from the nation's top public health officials." https://abcnews.com/Health/measles-cases-2026-set-surpass-years-total/story?id=134740486 #PublicHealth #measles #outbreak #vaccines #immunizations #HHS #CDC

"The cause of death for an Air Force trainee who died last month at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio was influenza, according to Rep. Joaquin Castro, a Texas Democrat. Keon Talik McDaniel, 25, died June 16, according to his obituary. Influenza swept the air force base in June, one month after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made the flu shots voluntary, rather than mandatory, for American troops." https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/influenza-vaccines/air-force-trainee-san-antonio-texas-died-flu #PublicHealth #flu #influenza #vaccines #immunizations #USpol

ICYMI: "Parents must realize that refusing vaccinations doesn’t just put your own child at risk. It puts other children at risk. I don’t know where Renae picked up measles. It’s one of the most contagious viruses that exists, and it could have been from anywhere. That’s why herd immunity is so important." https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/21/opinion/measles-child-britain-vaccination.html#PublicHealth #measles #vaccinations #immunizations #ChildrensHealth
