The study’s sudden cancellation means Williams can’t assess if the texted videos influenced families’ vaccine decisions – lost data from more than two years of work and already-spent NIH dollars. It also jeopardizes the researchers’ careers. While considering next steps, Williams has asked permission of community members to use some of the videos in his own practice as he discusses vaccination.Williams gets personal, too, telling families that his kids are vaccinated and how his 95-year-old grandmother reminisces about the terror of polio during her own childhood before those vaccinations were developed.
“We’ve lost the collective memory about what it’s like to have these diseases in our community,” Williams said, ruefully noting the ongoing measles outbreak. “I think it’s going to take a collective voice from the community saying this is important, to remind those in power that we need to be allocating resources to infection prevention and vaccine hesitancy research.”AP video journalist Thomas Peipert contributed to this report.The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Science and Educational Media Group and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

Marty Kedian is only the third person in the U.S. ever to undergo a total larynx transplant – the others, years ago, because of injuries – and one of a handful reported worldwide.
Surgeons at the Mayo Clinic in Arizona offered Kedian the transplant as part of a new clinical trial aimed at opening the potentially lifechanging operation to more patients, including some with cancer, the most common way to lose a larynx.
AP correspondent Julie Walker reports a rare voice box transplant helped a cancer patient speak again.Lemmy’s legendary status was evident at his funeral, which saw rock heavyweights including The Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl, Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash and Metallica members Lars Ulrich and Robert Trujillo pay tribute.
