If you love babies, you gotta love vaccines. The new RSV vaccines, approved during the Biden Administration, are keeping babies out of the hospital:
Pediatricians like Sanford’s Dr. Ashley Sands are celebrating.
They’ve had two years to see how effective the new RSV vaccines can be.
“We have seen that infants that get vaccinated with Nirsevimab or Beyfortus do not get hospitalized form RSV. We have yet to have an infant admitted to the hospital with RSV who had received that vaccine,” said Sands.
Babies can get the vaccinations soon after they are born. Or the mother can get the vaccine while pregnant and pass the protection on to their baby.
At Avera, Dr. Peter Paul Lim, who is also an Infectious Disease Specialist, advises parents
to protect their children, especially with the RSV season arriving now.“There is something that is definitely, this is a safe, targeted and well studied vaccine. It actually feels good. We don’t have this type of vaccine for all the viral infections that we have.”
RSV is the leading cause of hospitalization in young infants. Doctors hope that with the new vaccines, that will no longer be the case.
“It’s game-changing,” said Dr. Sands [Tom Hanson, “New RSV Vaccine Is Keeping Infants out of… Hospitals,” KELO-TV, 2025.10.21].
Surprisingly, the Trump Administration has not blocked this useful vaccine; even the anti-vaccine vaccine panel under the CDC recognizes the value of preventing RSV and approved a second RSV treatment for babies this summer.
Just wait. The Idaho anti vaccine movement is creating buzz with Republicans everywhere. Florida actually beat them to it with our wonderful Surgeon General Ladapo and Guv DeSantis who want to get rid of vaccine mandates everywhere.
Its definitely time to invest in Exovent the modern iron lung.
Our guvs wife Casey just announced millions to be spent on studying the horse worm medicine Ivermectin. State funded cancer research. Wonderful, just don’t stand behind the horse after you given it the shot. Science be damned. She watched Joe Rogan with Mel Gibson who was the expert with the horse medicine cure. Really folks, you can’t make this stupidity up.
This is traveling to every pub state. It will take decades and millions of deaths to undo this bs. If it was just the blithering idiots ok, but this will hurt everyone.
The only hope we have is a coalition of states that fund a science based system so at least we have that to check the stupidity now at the HHS.
Ivermectin is cleared for the control of certain parasites in humans,
according to google.
“Conclusion and recommendation
Not recommended: Ivermectin is generally not recommended for use during pregnancy due to insufficient safety data.
Further research needed: More research is needed to determine the safety of ivermectin for pregnant women, especially in contexts where it is used for mass drug administration programs.
Consult a doctor: Pregnant women should always consult their healthcare provider before taking any medication, including ivermectin, to assess potential risks and benefits.”
