CDC Busted Using Fake Study (Again?!)

The CDC just got caught citing a totally fake study in a vaccine safety briefing—yep, AGAIN. Turns out, the scientist named in the report says he never wrote it, and the real study actually found the opposite of what was claimed. The CDC quietly deleted the bogus citation, but this isn’t the first time under RFK Jr.’s leadership that made-up studies have slipped through. And with the agency’s vaccine panel now stacked with anti-vax newcomers, things are looking pretty sketchy over there. #Health #BodyHealth #CDC

Measles Outbreak Slowing Down—Finally!

Measles cases in the US might finally be leveling off, according to the CDC. Most of the 1,200+ cases were in the southwest, but numbers are dropping. The new vaccine advisory committee (which has some controversy) got the update: things are looking better, but they’re still watching for new cases. Bonus: Bird flu in cows and people is also cooling off, with no new human cases in 15 weeks. Still, health officials are keeping a close eye on things! #MeaslesUpdate #CDC #PublicHealth #Health #BodyHealth

CDC Vaccine Panel Shakeup Drama

Major drama at the CDC: RFK Jr. just fired the entire vaccine advisory panel and replaced them with new faces—some of whom are vaccine skeptics. Experts are freaking out, warning this could mean fewer vaccines and more people at risk. The new panel is already catching heat for lacking immunization expertise, and the American Academy of Pediatrics is so over it, they're making their own vaccine schedule now. Wild times for public health! #CDC #Vaccines #RFKJr #Health #BodyHealth

CDC Vaccine Report Cites a Phantom Study?!

Did you see this? The CDC’s vaccine committee is about to discuss a report that references a study… that doesn’t even exist! The scientist supposedly behind it says he never did that research, and his actual study came to totally different conclusions. This all comes as the panel was just overhauled with several anti-vaccine voices, sparking calls from both parties to delay the meeting. The drama around thimerosal in vaccines is getting wild! #VaccineNews #CDC #Thimerosal #Health

Anti-Vax Leader to Speak at CDC Meeting?!

Big CDC shakeup: Lyn Redwood, ex-head of RFK Jr.’s anti-vax group, is set to present on thimerosal (the mercury-based vaccine preservative) at the first meeting of the CDC’s new vaccine advisers. This is wild because thimerosal was mostly removed from vaccines years ago, and tons of studies have debunked any link to autism. Still, some public health folks are worried old myths will resurface. Why is this even on the agenda now? #CDC #Vaccines #Thimerosal #Health

CDC’s New Vaccine Panel: Drama Alert!

Big shakeup at the CDC! The newly appointed vaccine advisory panel is about to vote on thimerosal in flu shots—a preservative that’s been at the center of vaccine-autism debates (even though science says it’s safe). The panel’s lineup is raising eyebrows, with some members known for controversial vaccine takes. Plus, there’s buzz about possible changes to kids’ MMRV shots and more. Feels like we’re in for some heated debates and maybe even vaccine shortages if things go sideways! #CDC #Vaccines #Thimerosal #Health #BodyHealth

Wait, Measles in the Fully Vaxxed?

Wild stat: At least 3% of this year’s measles cases hit people who got both doses of the vaccine. Most cases are still in the unvaxxed, but a few fully vaccinated folks (especially kids) in Texas and Colorado caught it too—mainly after travel. No hospitalizations so far for the double-dosed, but the CDC says we could see the most cases since the '90s. If you’re traveling, double-check your vaccine status! #Measles #Vaccine #CDC #Health #BodyHealth

Drop your questions or corrections below—maybe you’ll spot a mistake I missed (and I’ll owe you a coffee). Let’s untangle these citation mysteries together. What’s your biggest citation headache?

CDC Resignation Drama Over Vaccine Policy

Major shakeup at the CDC! The official in charge of tracking COVID hospitalizations just quit in protest after RFK Jr. ordered big changes to vaccine recommendations—skipping the usual expert panel and even firing its members. She says she can’t trust the data will be used scientifically anymore. Critics are calling it a huge loss for public health, and ex-panelists warn this could put families at risk. The new, Kennedy-picked committee meets next week. Wild times for vaccine policy! #CDC #VaccinePolicy #PublicHealth #Health #BodyHealth
