Mississippi once had the highest childhood vaccination rates in the US, until Siri, funded the anti-vaccine organization, ICAN, fought to weaken the law. Since then, vaccination rates have fallen. Something Edney voiced concern about mississippifreepress.org/mississippi-no…

Edney has no business dispensing bandaids, let alone running the CDC. When heading Mississippi's health department that state ranked near dead last in health and he's a vaccine zealot that does not respect individual and civil rights. mississippitoday.org/2026/03/23/tru…

A common question about vaccine-associated myocarditis is how the risk compares to myocarditis from SARS-CoV-2 infection (Covid). Having reviewed this data closely, I want to walk through what the studies show and why the answer has changed over time. 🧵

.@WHO is working closely with #Ethiopia’s @FMoHealth, the Ethiopia Public Health Institute and regional health authorities as part of the rapid response to a suspected outbreak of a viral haemorrhagic fever (VHF) in the Southern Ethiopian Region. 8 people, including health workers, have reportedly been infected. WHO has deployed experts to the affected towns, along with medicines and other materials to support care for people in need, and personal protective equipment for health workers. WHO will also be supporting contact tracing in affected communities. Samples have been sent for testing. Further details are expected soon. I have released US$300,000 from the WHO Contingency Fund for Emergencies to provide immediate support. WHO’s offices in Ethiopia and South Sudan are collaborating closely to prevent potential cross-border transmission. WHO is ready to scale up support, as and when needed. I commend Ethiopian health authorities for their timely sharing of information and quick response and offer WHO’s full support. afro.who.int/news/ethiopia-…
