This is a lie. And it’s an abhorrent lie because the goal of this lie is to prevent polio vaccination and kill even more people.
Republicans against Trump@RpsAgainstTrump
RFK Jr.,Trump's nominee to lead the HHS, suggested that the Polio vaccine "killed many, many more people" than polio ever did.

My replies are perpetually full of anti-vaxxers these days telling me about polio vaccines.
Not shockingly, most of what they are saying is wrong. Luckily, I trained with @profvrr & he taught me a few things about poliovirus.
So let’s discuss the king of the Picornaviridae👇🏻

Your baby doesn’t need screen time. 📱 📺 💻
You probably know that.
But did you know that YOUR screen time also holds the potential to influence their development?
In research from the University of Texas at Austin recently published in the journal Child Development, investigators synced recordings of mothers and their babies with mom’s smart phone usage records.
What they found was that during periods of parental phone usage, verbal interactions between mothers and their babies dropped by 16%. (During comparatively shorter bursts of phone usage lasting less than 2 minutes, these interactions decreased even more - by 26%.)
The bottom line: adult phone usage decreases one-on-one stimulation between infants and parents and exposes infants to less language.
Screen time can be a touchy topic, I’ve found. And in today’s society it seems increasingly unrealistic to suggest that homes will be completely screen free - for parents or children. I’m a realist here.
But perhaps the most interesting data point to come from this study is the average amount of parental smart phone usage they found among study participants:
4.4 HOURS per 12 hours studied.
That’s a lot of screen time.
The message here isn’t that parents need to (or realistically can) eliminate all smart phone usage. Many wouldn’t have that luxury even if they tried, due to work or other caregiving responsibilities.
So what can be done? The authors suggest some important first steps:
Being mindful of the impact phones can actually have on our our interactions/caregiving, and
Remaining aware of how easily we can become consumed by our phones, despite our best intentions.
After all, every minute we spend interacting with a screen is a minute that might otherwise be spent in the kind of brain-building, face-to-face interaction modeled so well by Campbell Williams in this lovely video she shared recently to TT (campbellwilliams_).
