Part of it is a concern about future access because parents who watch the news who know Kennedy's history, he has said during his confirmation hearing that he will preserve access to vaccines. But they're concerned because they know he's challenged it. You know, they know his sister with measles and vaccine, challenging measles vaccine and other, you know, routine childhood vaccinations.

And not only that, but he's also been involved in legal challenges to things like the HPV vaccine. which prevents cervical cancer. I've talked to pediatricians who said they've had parents coming in asking, can my kid get that one early? Because they're worried that maybe in the future there might not be as much access. So I think you're seeing vaccine enthusiasm as well as vaccine hesitancy.

Right. It's not always about vaccine hesitancy. Sometimes it's just vaccine access. And one thing we should note is that NIH has cut grants to people who are researching these issues, like what is preventing vaccine uptake and how do we boost it? You know, studying vaccine hesitancy, vaccine access, vaccine acceptance.

It might be harder to see how these trends are changing in the future when you don't have the money to fund the research to figure that out.

Yeah, the link between vaccines and autism that does not exist and has been repeatedly debunked. Yes. Yeah, that one. I've talked to infectious disease modelers about this. And yeah, if the trends that we've been seeing, you know, over the last several years in terms of falling vaccination rates continue, we could be seeing measles outbreaks not that far out into the future.

And in fact, what we're seeing play out now is what people have been warning will happen, you know, for years. Like right now, you have high vaccination rates in most of the country, but you have these pockets of vulnerability that allow outbreaks to take hold, like we're seeing in West Texas, we're seeing in Oklahoma.

But yeah, the more people buy into false messaging, the more vulnerable we all become. The more we could see the days, again, where you have dozens, hundreds of deaths.
