New updates and improvements to VaxCalc

Hib (Haemophilus influenzae type b)

New
Uploaded by VaxBot. Unpacked by Tony. 💼🔥

Most people can’t even say it. Haemophilus influenzae type b—or just “Hib.” Sounds serious. Sounds urgent. Pediatricians act like it’s a done deal. No discussion. Just “We’ll do Hib today along with the rest.”

Tony’s got a question for that:
“Since when does ‘type b’ mean the other types don’t matter? And why are they acting like your kid’s a danger until they’ve had this shot?”

The Hib vaccine targets just one straintype b—out of several. And it’s been off most people’s radar for years. So why is it still bundled in with all the “must-haves”?
VaxBot breaks it down inside the Research Navigator. You’ll see:
  • The difference between invasive Hib disease and a routine infection
  • Why the vaccine’s impact dropped dramatically once the disease declined (not the other way around)
  • What “nontypeable” even means—and why it matters for your kid

No hype. No slogans. No “everybody does it.”
 Just a clear look at the facts—and the pressure behind the schedule.

Tony’s verdict?
“You’re not obligated to play defense against a disease that barely shows up anymore. But if you are gonna make a move… at least know the game you’re playing.”

Hib is now live in the Research Navigator.

📊 Rotavirus Added to Research Navigator (VaxBot Strikes Again)

New
Our rotavirus disease profile and vaccine research just got a serious upgrade — deeper insights, cleaner breakdowns, and smarter structure. VaxBot dug through the data to separate the routine cases from the high-risk ones and highlight what matters most for real-world decisions.

📊 Measles + MMR Research Just Got a Major Upgrade (Thanks to VaxBot)

Improvement
Our measles disease profile and MMR vaccine research summary have been dramatically improved — faster, deeper, sharper. VaxBot went to work and surfaced new data, clarified risks, and organized everything for faster understanding inside your dashboard.

Tony still doesn’t trust bots — says they’ve got no street smarts — but even he admitted:
“This one? It’s pretty damn good.”

Log in now and see what’s new. It’s clearer, punchier, and more useful than ever.

📉 Measles Surge? Tony Called It — Things Just Cooled Off

New
All eyes were on a potential explosion in measles cases. But when we ran the numbers this week, something stood out: a sharp slowdown.

Tony might’ve seen it coming.
Tony says:
“Everyone’s watching the fireworks. I’m watching the fuse — and it just got a lot shorter.”

We’ll keep tracking the signal — not the noise. Weekly data, updated. No spin.

🔥 Tony Now Reviews Every Payment

New
Every payment now crosses Tony’s desk.

No more cold, robotic receipts. When you pay, Tony sees it — and if he gives the nod, then your receipt goes out. It’s personal now. You’re not just a transaction. You’re Crew.

📊 Measles Madness? Tony's Not Buying It — But the Data’s In

Update
Every outlet’s screaming panic. Measles cases. Precipice. Surge. You’ve heard it.
That’s why we updated our weekly analysis — to show what’s really going on.

Tony says:
“Media says jump. We say: check the facts. Numbers are in — look for yourself before you start running.”

We post new data every week. No spin. Just signal.

New Real Stories Section: MMR Reactions Just Got a Whole Lot Harder to Ignore

New
We didn’t just add more stories — we blew the doors off the design. Parents are now getting a clear, emotionally focused view of real MMR vaccine reactions, straight from official reports — no fluff, no filters.

Tony’s take?
“If they’re gonna pressure you with slogans, we’re gonna arm you with stories. Real ones. From the moms who lived it.”

Every quote, section, and symptom is now easier to find — and impossible to unsee. And we didn’t stop with MMR. The new visual system is now live in the Chickenpox section too. This ain’t just polish — it’s leverage.

What You Need to Know — Chickenpox Disease + Vaccine

New

“Doctors give you slogans. We give you facts. Big difference.” —Tony

We just added two plain-English, parent-friendly guides to your Research Navigator:
 • What you need to know about chickenpox (the disease)
What you need to know about the chickenpox vaccine

Now, when the doctor comes in with the clipboard and the assumptions… you’re ready.
 Tony-style.

Chickenpox Vaccine Reactions Now Featured

Improvement
After a parent reached out asking where to find the real stories, we made a fast improvement. You’ll now see a dedicated section linking to firsthand, parent-told accounts of what happened after the chickenpox shot — built from real VAERS reports and brought to life so you don’t have to dig through cold clinical data. You can’t miss it.

“Cold data don’t protect your kid. Real stories do.”
—Tony, Protector of the Crew

Real Vaccine Injury Stories — See What Official Reports Won't Tell You

New
We’ve launched a powerful new section inside VaxCalc: real vaccine injury stories, drawn directly from official government reports.
 
These are real children, real families — not just numbers.
 
We’re starting with non-serious and serious reactions to the Chickenpox vaccine:
  • 5 non-serious reactions
  • 5 serious reactions

Each story is short, emotional, and includes the official VAERS ID for traceability.

No sugarcoating. No fine print. Just the truth — like it oughta be.

See for yourself what the official pamphlets leave out — and why informed choice matters more than ever.

Today, we added stories for the Chickenpox vaccine.

Weekly Measles Outbreak Estimate Updated

Update
We’ve published this week’s updated estimate of active measles cases in the U.S. based on the latest CDC data and real-time trends from the VaxCalc Map of New Cases. As of April 25, the outbreak appears to be slowing, with about X to Y active cases likely nationwide.  (Sign in to see the numbers.)

Our estimates continue to use a trend-aware model that accounts for reporting delays and case growth patterns, helping you better understand the true scope of the outbreak — without relying solely on cumulative totals.


“Big scary outbreak? Fuggedaboutit. I’ve seen bigger problems at a kid’s birthday party. Still, smart crew keeps an eye on the playground.”

Doctor Cards Just Got a Whole Lot Sharper

Improvement
We’ve completely upgraded the look and feel of the doctor listings:
  • 🧭 Divider lines are now perfectly aligned across all rows
  • 🎯 Buttons, badges, and ratings sit in clean, consistent positions
  • 💎 Whether you’ve chosen a doctor or not, every card looks smooth, balanced, and easy to scan

This isn't just a visual update — it makes comparing doctors faster and more intuitive, especially when you’re on the hunt for someone friendly and trustworthy.

"You’re not just picking a doctor. You’re picking who’s in the room with your kid when the pressure hits.
 So yeah — it better look clean, clear, and sharp."

Tony, Protector of the Crew

🛠️ Bug Fix: Accurate Measles Case Counts by State

Fix
We fixed an issue in the Measles Outbreak Data map where some states showed incorrect case numbers. The problem? The CDC sometimes reports multiple entries per state—but our system expected just one. Now, all reported cases are correctly totaled, so what you see reflects the full picture.

Measles Estimates Updated — March 28

Update
We’ve just updated the measles outbreak data, including this week’s estimated range of active cases. As always, we show you exactly how we calculate it — giving you a clearer picture of what’s really happening right now.

Added Vaccine Truth Video Library to your personal Dashboard

New
The Vaccine Truth Video Library exists to:
Expose the suppressed truth about vaccine risks—especially the connection to autism—through accurate, high-integrity storytelling that’s accessible, calm, and deeply researched.
It’s a trusted, fact-checked resource designed to:
  • Give families clarity in a world full of confusion and censorship
  • Present the real history and science behind vaccine injury
  • Empower viewers with truth that has been buried or distorted by mainstream institutions
At its core, it’s about restoring informed consent—not through fear or hype, but by shining a light on what others have worked hard to keep hidden.

Measles outbreak now includes estimated current total number of cases

Improvement
We’ve added a new data layer to the measles outbreak page: an estimated range of how many cases are likely still active right now. Instead of relying on cumulative totals that include people who’ve already recovered, this new estimate uses known timelines to give you a clearer picture of the current situation — updated weekly.

Created magic links for easy login without passwords

New
Many of us are managing dozens of different online accounts.  To ease the burden, you can now tell VaxCalc to email you a login link (or "magic link") for a one-click login instead of struggling to remember your password.

Fixed Pertussis outbreak data broken by CDC data errors

Fix
CDC's data sometimes leaves out important values that we count upon to make accurate calculations.  The fix was to first make sure all expected values are provided and for the ones sometimes missing we found a way to calculate them as needed.
