There are a number of panicky Facebook posts, to which I will not link, going around about the "shocking" discovery that #mRNA #vaccines cross the #placental barrier. Which really shouldn't be a surprise to anyone, but #antivaxers gonna #antivax.
Okay, the discovery is real enough. Here's a direct link: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2162253125000435 Click the "View PDF" button at the top, just above the journal title, to read the full article. Note that this is a pre-print version, meaning there may be some typos and such, but nothing that's likely to change the results.
The problem is ... well, there's no problem here! #Maternal #immunity, however acquired, is routinely passed on to #fetuses: we're all born with #immune systems primed to deal with whatever #diseases our mothers have encountered, and that's a *good thing*.
Of course antivaxers who freak out about any occurrence of the abbreviation "mRNA," like the same people often freak out about the word "pronoun" or the "cis-" and "trans-" prefixes, think this is somehow evil.
It's not. It means *fewer dead kids*. These people would literally rather kill their children than learn anything that contradicts their ideology.

California surgeon general sets goal of reducing maternal mortality by 50%
California’s surgeon general has unveiled an initiative to reduce #maternal #mortality and set a goal of ❇️ halving the rate of deaths related to pregnancy and birth by December 2026.
Health officials say that more than 80% of maternal deaths nationwide are preventable.
California has achieved a much lower rate of such deaths than the U.S., but ♦️maternal mortality resurged in recent years amid the COVID-19 pandemic, state data show.
“We have the lowest rate in the country. Now we can do better,” California Surgeon General Dr. Diana E. #Ramos said in an interview.
Ramos was joined in announcing the effort Tuesday by First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the wife of Gov. Gavin Newsom.

US maternal mortality rate far higher than in peer nations, report finds
The US has a far higher rate of #maternal #mortality than other peer wealthy nations,
and an extraordinary #disparity between white and Black Americans, according to a new brief released by the Commonwealth Fund.
The American outlier status persisted even as the maternal mortality rate has improved in the post-pandemic era, both in the US and globally.
“We could always be happy for going in the right direction, that’s for sure,” said Munira Z Gunja, senior researcher at the Commonwealth Fund’s international program in health policy and practice innovations. “But we still have a ways to go.”
The Commonwealth Fund report compares the US with 12 wealthy nations using data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, better known as the OECD, a group of developed democracies.
Although OECD data is considered the gold standard for international comparison, researchers said there may be differences in how countries gather data.
Researchers found that in 💥2022, 22.3 US women per 100,000 died either during pregnancy or within a year of giving birth. 💥
That is a slight improvement from 2021, when American women died at a rate of 32.9 per 100,000.
Still, alarming disparities persist, particularly between white and Black mothers. White mothers in America died at a rate of 19 per 100,000 in 2022. By contrast,
💥Black mothers died at a rate of 49.5 per 100,000, or roughly 2.5 times the rate of white Americans.💥
🔥Nearly every demographic group of American mothers dies at a higher rate than all mothers in peer nations.
Norway, for instance, did not document a single maternal death. The United Kingdom, which conducts an in-depth investigation into every death, counted 5.5 maternal deaths per 100,000.
Notably, most of the deaths of American mothers
– more than 80%
– are #preventable, according to CDC data cited by the Commonwealth report. -
Calm, considerate and clear:
An interview with #AlexSmith, the #USAID contractor that was ultimately barred from giving a presentation on #maternal and #child #health outcomes in #Gaza, at a conference.
Before, his presentation already underwent "many layers of editing", with words like "#Palestine" removed even from the official names of #UN institutions.
After being cancelled, Smith was given the choice between resignation and dismissal. With dignity, he resigned.

CW: nature and violence = natural?
@freeschool right, I was talking about the concept of deep time, as described in the Wiki article. The reason for running them together as one word is simply that there's no way to tag phrases as far as I know.
The origin of the post was a conversation I was having elsenet about why modern #humans show evidence of #maternal #inheritance from #Neanderthals via #mitochondrial #DNA, but no evidence of #paternal inheritance via the Y #chromosome.
Their explanation was basically "our ancestors killed all the men and took all the women." Which is possible, of course: there are certainly plenty of examples of that in recorded human #history. But I have hard time believing it's the *only* thing that happened between two species (or subspecies: the line is fuzzy) that interacted with each over over tens and perhaps hundreds of thousands of years.
Another and IMO more likely explanation is that #hybrid #fertility is sex-linked. e.g. the rare #fertile #mules are always female. If the same applied in this case, that would explain why the #Neanderthal Y chromosome disappeared in mixed #human populations.
There are definitely applications to modern behavior. 🙂 But really, I'd mainly just like people to get away from always assuming the bloodiest possible explanation for observed #biological phenomena, whether in humans or any other animal.
