does anyone in my network by accident know anything new or unknown that may help with rheumatoid arthritis?
Die Briten wieder. Das ist echt phänomenal. Neue @ONS Daten zu self-reported (!) #LongCovid bei Erwachsenen und bei Kindern in Abhängigkeit davon, ob es eine Erstinfektion oder eine Folgeinfektion war. (Im Wesentlichen alles Omikron.) Bezieht sich (1/3)

Not an article I wanted to write.
The deadly H5N1 bird flu is spreading widely, including to mammals.
For the first time, it's now likely spreading mammal-to-mammal, among minks which are exceptionally well-suited conduits to humans.
We must act now.

ICYMI join @andrew_croxford and I as we dismantle the bizarre online myth that Covid is causes immunodeficiency in children
Misinterpretation of basic science, misunderstanding of basic epidemiology, and a healthy dose of conspiracy theory are afoot 💥

Excellent and balanced article.

So @timrequarth has a great, nuanced overview, with explanations from multiple top immunologists.
@profshanecrotty : "I haven’t seen anything in our data or other studies that makes me worried about long-term impacts on immunity to other infections."

The 1st results for the @BharatBiotech nasal vaccine (BBV154, approved in India) randomized trial vs shots now posted, superior antibody and cellular immune response (vs ancestral and Omicron); 4-fold less side effects https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4342771
Kurz und knapp: es sind noch etliche wissenschaftlich durchaus spannende Fragen offen. Die bisweilen zu lesenden dramatischen Warnungen, #COVID19 würde das Immunsystem zerstören, ähnlich wie #AIDS/#HIV, sind aber Quatsch– versprochen! Das könnte man gar nicht übersehen:

Below are estimates of COVID hospitalization absolute risk reduction due to booster shots.
Assumptions: booster lifetime = 90 days, VE = 25% and 59% for the standard and bivalent boosters.
Result: Bivalent boosters reduce hospitalization risk by <0.12% in age groups <65 years.
Grosse Kohortenstudie aus den USA, die im Studienzeitraum deutlich besseren Schutz vor Hospitalisierung/schwerem Verlauf mit Hospitalisierung oder Tod durch bivalenten Booster im Vgl. zu monovalentem Booster zeigt (Differenz VE 33.5 bzw. 36.9%).

CDC: Omicron booster shots provide some protection against mild illness from Covid XBB subvariants
"the protection varies by age. Adults aged 18 to 49 had a 48% reduced risk of mild illness, while seniors had a 42% reduced risk"

Great compilation of information and threads on the often alleged immune deficiency/exhaustion after COVID. These claims are usually grossly oversimplified and prey on people's legitimate fears and thirst for information.
A new study has found that Germany could save 6.7 million tons of CO2 by introducing a speed limit on the Autobahn. That's the same amount as annually emitted by the D R Congo, a country of 95 million people.
Yes, all of this! 💯⬇️
I'm so tired of these AIDS comparisons and study over/misinterpretations.
Yes, you should avoid infections.
Yes, LongCovid is real.
But there are huge differences to actual immunodeficiencies and AIDS. Don't make it worse than it is.
Many good reflections in thread but this one feels profound:
“existence in online echo chambers, where dissenting views were long since driven out, giving them an impression that their views are now overwhelmingly popular and mainstream, and that they have won the argument.”
In terms of severity of XBB.1.5, we have some early reassuring data from @PeacockFlu lab at @imperialcollege
XBB (parent lineage) acts like previous Omicron lineages with the altered entry pathway and preference for nasal 👃 cell tissue over lung 🫁
Wie kann es sein, dass Hybrid-Immunität angeblich ½ Jahr gut vor erneuter Ansteckung schützt, obwohl ein Großteil der aktuellen Fälle Re-Infektionen sind?
Siehe @ONS Zweit-Infektionsdaten:
Die größten Kuchenstücke sind durchgängig Fälle, wo gut 6 Monate dazwischen liegen können.
Excellent and balanced article.
