#airbornepathogens — Public Fediverse posts

Needed for context, when talking about kids and immunology:

It is physically impossible to train the parts of the adaptive immune system that haven't developed yet.

They have to be there to activate.

This is not a fringe claim, vaccines are designed with this in mind:

The transient delay in IgG2 antibody production is clinically relevant in the context of vaccination, as this subclass is mainly responsible for the response to polysaccharide antigens.This fact explains why response to polysaccharide vaccines is impaired in children under 2 years https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6817213/

So if someone tells you an infant under 2 needs to be exposed to pathogens, without being able to tell you which pathogens have polysaccharide envelopes and what that means in the context of infants acquiring immunity, be on guard

And some pathogens are harmful even if adaptive immunity is activated!

If that infant catches RSV (or EBV or SARS2 or influenza or multitudes of other airborne pathogens) there is a serious expected cost and no known advantage.

I am not an immunologist, if I've misunderstood please correct me.

I'm very grateful for all who have spent time, energy, & mental tenacity to warn, to educate, to advocate, to "translate" the science of #AirbornePathogens & the importance of #IAQ & #CleanAir (+ #masks & #respirators). ✨ Also 🙏 for good PH comms, reliable data (lately?), & good data viz.

Wife and I watched S2.E12 of "The Resident" last night, and the infection control mitigations were just about as ridiculous (ineffective) as we find ourselves in the real world in 2025! Synopsis of the ep here: www.imdb.com/title/tt9092... #IAQ #CleanTheAir #AirbornePathogens

Always appreciate the work of the persistent and brilliant scientist, Louis Pasteur. This story of Mont Blanc is new to me. Nice illustration, too. A classic film about his life work and controversy was best actor Academy Award win for Paul Muni, best screenplay, 1936. #science #vaccines #airbornepathogens #aerobiome https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/science/airborne-louis-pasteur-germs.html?unlocked_article_code=1.zk4.oAYS.DGjRrBwUP34V&smid=url-share
