One of the factors contributing to rising vaccine hesitancy is a sort of "collective amnesia," explains @adamratnermd.bsky.social. For generations that have no experience with deadly diseases like polio, it's easy to forget why we vaccinate against them. bit.ly/41B0p0u

If someone thinks the measles outbreak and childhood death in Texas are "not unusual" or that these things "happen all the time", they are deeply misinformed. Don't be fooled. blogs.jwatch.org/hiv-id-obse…
