Thank you for providing this information to the public
Please continue with the long COVID information. I am a 61 yo male still dealing with it from early 2020 and it has been brutal, though finally improving as I learn management. Thank you!
I had measles before the mmr vaccine. It was a long time ago but I still remember how sick I was. 😷
Thank you!!
Thank you for this vital public resource.
This is a really good channel. Thank you both.

I’m a Physician Liaison with a major hospital system—the communication on public health you provide is priceless!

Thank-you so much for getting this info to us,we really appreciate you! Thank goodness for conscientious people!!!
Can seniors that had the MMR in childhood be vulnerable?
Thanks for putting out this information. I share it with friends and family😊
YAY MMR twice. Had to have another for college.

We are grateful the AMA is keeping us updated on health news in this confusing time. This is exactly the kind of news we need to know.
I’d like to read that study can you put up a link. I’ve had M.E for years and as we know it’s a very similar illness if not the same illness just in an earlier stage of the illness.
My husband had a previous TBI, got COVID , was fully vaxxed, and boosted. Now has Breathing Patternn Disorder from COVID further damaging his brain. Couldnt get help or diagnosis until we went 12oo miles away to the National Jewish Hospital in Denver. Thank God for them. AMA thank you for keeping us informed.
Thank you!!! Please keep us informed. We need you more than ever under these difficult times.
Thank you so much for talking about food recalls. I felt lost as to what to do and finding out that I can get emails to be up to date helps that anxiety so much.
Omg finally menopause is good for something.😊
Just subscribed. Thank you for this service. It is critically important.
Just found this! Thank you, I have subscribed!
Thank you for providing clear, real facts to keep us informed! What a great service to the public.
The last person to die of measles was 22 years ago and stupid RFK says this is normal. This is not normal. Rfk is a heroine addict running the country’s healthcare. Wtf.
