No Measles For The Tots (Vaccines!) | Song A Day #3973
Channel: Jonathan Mann
Date: 18/11/2019

You’ve just set everything up for PCV13 // but now the disease burden has decreased
The anti-vaxxers are always getting bolder // You get less reactogenic as you get older 

Flu is very risky for mama and babe-bay
As soon as it’s available she’s got to vaccinate 
Pertussis is super dangerous for infants and the unborn
We know Tdap vaccines work and we’re always learning more

Pregnant women don’t drink, eat hot dogs or deli meats
We’ve taught them to fear their cats
We just gotta to tell them to get the flu vaccine 

Any intimate contact can // transmit HPV 
One touch one time  // can transmit HPV

I could get a flu shot and then my dog
Could get hit by a car
I could report it to VAERS, it’s rapid signals there
But that’s not the end of it by far

CISA and VSD, Help determine causality 
Nothing is perfectly safe, But there’s a whole bunch of ways
Vaccines are studied

Three phases clinical trials // National regulatory authorities
FDA inspections too // Post licensure for you

Vaccines don’t save lives, Getting vaccinated does
You can’t just up and say, Hey you want some vaccines today 

Mening ococcal recommendations // For at risk populations
Are among the most complicated
But don’t blame Amanda no // She was just following the data oh
Through shared clinical decision makin’

Hep A used to be a real snooze fest, now there’s 28000 
Cases across 30 states
Ooo lala ooo ooo ooo, Always something dramatic with the flu, 
Would you rather get 90% of my money  Or 60 percent of Bill Gates

Nuetrophils, monocytes // dendritic cells, nk cells
Shingrix combines with adjuvant //  Immune system knows it’s dangerous 

Good science takes time // sensation goes quick
It’s hard to change a mind // measles is the canary in the coalmine

Hi there! If you're new around these parts, welcome. I'm Jonathan Mann. I write a song every single day, and I've been doing that for the last 10+ years.

Through sick days, tired days, days with no inspiration, the death of my grandma, the breakup of a 5 year long relationship, the marriage to my wife and the birth of our son - I've never missed a day. This is my life's work.
