An awful practice of antivaccine activists: downplay seriousness of measles & exaggerate side effects of the MMR vaccine. We addressed this in @nytimes in 2020. Top box what happens if 10,000 kids get measles: 2,000 hospitalized or worse; bottom box 10,000 kids get MMR vaccine

A study analyzing 29 European countries found that slower COVID-19 vaccination and booster rollouts significantly increased excess mortality during infection waves. How much? An order of magnitude (10X). Fast vaccine rollouts saved lives.

Vaccines are the single greatest reason for reductions in child mortality over the past decades -- from 11 million child deaths in 1990 to 4.5 million deaths in 2022. #VaccinesWork
