This was my first visit to the Museo de Málaga, and it’s fucking amazing. The curatorship is outstanding and so well documented and displayed. I can’t believe I had never even heard of it until two months ago. Most underrated museum in #Málaga https://www.museosdeandalucia.es/

"When the WHO committee reviewed all the studies on DTP safety in 2014, it did not indicate serious adverse events. It concluded there was substantial evidence against these claims"

Very clearly, a disease of the young. The pattern for 2025 looks almost identical.
But not so quick! Molecular test methods (RT-PCR) don't (without careful work) discriminate wild-type rotavirus from vaccine-shed rotavirus in recently vaccinated infants with coincident gastrointestinal symptoms.

There’s still a risk that lenacapavir becomes another squandered opportunity, Warren says. “But there’s also a possibility that we get this half right with lenacapavir, and we build the platform to move to once-a-year lenacapavir and a monthly oral tablet by 2028 and we begin to see a decline in incidence,” he says. It’s a decision, he says, for the world to make.

STUDY of #COVID19 in hospitalized children finds "Nosocomial (hospital-acquired infections) SARS-CoV-2 infection was associated with more severe disease." Remind me why healthcare professionals aren't masking around patients.

Those of you who have written science research papers, what's the oldest paper you've cited in a paper you published? (I just saw a citation to an 1843 paper.) Pretty sure my oldest reference is only 1920 or so.

(I know, you historians out there are going to have scientists beat, but you're also welcome to share)

U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has named eight new members to a government panel of vaccine advisors after firing the previous committee. These include Dr. Robert Malone, a physician who has propagated COVID-19 misinformation, Dr. Martin Kulldorff, a biostatistician and epidemiologist who was dismissed from Harvard Medical School after blasting the university's handling of the pandemic, and Vicky Pebsworth, who has a PhD in public health and serves on the board of The National Vaccine Information Center, widely regarded as an anti-vaccine group. Here's more from CNBC.

The bane of publishing a scientific article and to receive every day emails from predatory journals and conferences.

Apparently, if you have facebook or Instagram installed on your phone, #Meta was able to track your browsing habits and link them to your real identity even if you never logged in on the web, used incognito mode or a VPN. I hope Meta gets hit with every fine in the book.

This is how. Greta Thunberg spits fire and gives you the only media training you may ever need.

"If maternal measles antibodies are still present, the vaccine is less likely to produce an immune response.

Research has also shown a measles vaccine given at less than 8.5 months of age can result in an antibody response which declines more quickly. This might be due to interference with maternal antibodies, but researchers are still trying to understand the reasons for this"

Measles cases are surging globally. Should children be vaccinated earlier?

"The WHO advises everyone should receive two doses of measles vaccination. In places where there’s a lot of measles circulating, children are generally recommended to have the first dose at around nine months old. This is because it’s expected maternal antibodies would have declined significantly in most infants by that age, leaving them vulnerable to infection."

An overview of Q Fever and some musings on why numbers of Coxiella burnetii infections were higher than usual in Australia in 2024.

Researchers found that approximately 20 percent of people who had COVID-19 still experienced at least one persistent symptom three years after falling ill.

The most common symptoms three years after infection were fatigue, sleep problems, and shortness of breath. Many people also continued to have a reduced sense of smell or taste, and some experienced anxiety. A significant proportion also showed measurable reductions in lung function, especially in the body's ability to absorb oxygen from the air. Some also had reduced breathing capacity, measured by how much air they could exhale in one second.

The study shows that long-term issues after COVID-19 can persist for several years. These include not only symptoms that are noticeable in daily life, such as fatigue or sleep disturbances, but also less visible effects like impaired lung function. This highlights that long COVID is a real and long-lasting condition that can affect both physical and mental health over an extended period.

Interesting how US and Chinese teams are pushing mRNA vaccine design almost in parallel, first a US paper on co-delivered IL-12 mRNA, now a Chinese study using membrane-tethered IL-12. Different strategies, same goal. Innovation race is real. 🧬🇺🇸🇨🇳
