@tracy_tysonmd: Replying to @Janelle We don’t practice 1971 medicine anymore. So why would we want to go backward with vaccines? 🩺💉 The combined MMR vaccine was first licensed in 1971. Since then, medicine has changed dramatically. In 1971, we didn’t have MRI, modern NICU care, HIV treatment, insulin pumps, HPV vaccines, Hib vaccines, pneumococcal conjugate vaccines, modern genetic testing—or decades of the safety surveillance and research we have today. Medicine evolves because science evolves. We study outcomes. We improve manufacturing. We refine treatments. We monitor safety. And when better evidence emerges, our recommendations change. Going back to an older vaccine formulation simply because it’s older isn’t inherently “safer.” Older ≠ safer. Newer ≠ more dangerous. Evidence is what matters. If we’re going to argue that medicine was better in 1971, we have to be willing to apply that logic to the rest of medicine, too. I’m not interested in going backward. I’m interested in following the best evidence we have now. #MMR #Vaccines #VaccineEducation #Pediatrics #Pediatrician

That 1 researcher who was entirely debunked started off such a massive chain reaction it’s almost hard to comprehend how massive.

I am all for vaccines, my kids were fully vaccinated and believe that kids and adults should be vaccinated, but we can not deny that the contradictions during COVID has not lead to more skepticism and mistrust.

(Pulls out family tree) In this lecture, I will discuss the child and infant deaths that occurred before modern immunizations and medical were available. Let’s start with my cousin who died of complications from chicken pox…

My husband had measles as a kid before vaccines and it caused his mom to have a miscarriage. She became a huge proponent of vaccines as PTA president when the measles vaccine came out.

I remember when babies were born at 32 weeks they were considered "premies."

Combing was for convenience. Some don’t want all three. They should have that option.

people don't trust doctors anymore because of the bs doctors pull. the point is medical staff refuse to listen to the patient because they believe they are the smartest people on the planet.

Babies born today have about a 9 year longer life expectancy in the US than those born in 1970, thanks to advancements in medicine, including vaccines, science, and safety.

I have Cystic Fibrosis just turned 33 even in the 90s it wasn't about saving us it was just do enough to limit our suffering as much as possible. It wasn't until about 25ish yrs ago they started trying to treat the CF instead of just the symptoms. i was severely immunocompromislzed even getting the flu vaccine would put me in the hospital when i was a child but they still insisted I get it every yr because getting the actual Flu would have been worse. If the chicken pox vaccine had been out at the time i guarantee I would have gotten that one too. I actually caught chicken pox while in the hospital right before I was able to go home and they ended up keeping me thru it just to be safe.

Why do they want to take their kids to way more doc visits with shots than necessary. Less doc visits with more protection please!

In 1971, women were told not to swim while pregnant because they thought it would be harmful to the pregnancy.

When you know better, do better. The government almost always makes things worse and not better.

There is a whole ass generation of deaf people that were born in the 50’s and early 60’s that didn’t have a measles vaccine available… and went deaf from contracting measles. I wish people weren’t so freaking stupid.
