💉 An investigative article by a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist suggests that US officials suppressed warnings over a flawed COVID-19 vaccine safety algorithm. The reporter says officials relied on a single, compromised algorithm to detect harm from mRNA vaccines, were aware it was flawed, and silenced efforts to fix it. The findings are based on government emails and interviews with public health officials and other scientists. This relates to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which assured doctors and the public that its Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) would spot any harmful reactions to the vaccines. Instead of using two different algorithms as originally planned, the agency used just one, provided by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The investigation found this algorithm failed to detect a link between mRNA vaccination and heart issues, including myocarditis and pericarditis, as well as a range of other disorders, because it simply didn't work properly. Internal records show FDA and CDC officials were aware of this. The CDC finally ran the second algorithm available to them in 2022, and claimed it made no difference, but the reporter says it actually revealed hundreds of adverse events that the agency had missed.

🧠 Lab-grown human brain tissue, called organoids, transplanted into mouse brains can survive, grow, generate a diverse range of human brain cells, and organise into circuits and complex structures, according to US research, which suggests this may be a new way to grow human brain tissue outside of a human. The researchers engineered the mice to be missing almost all of their cerebral cortex (the outermost “rind” of the brain), and then they transplanted brain-like tissue grown from human cells into the mice. The human cells grew, filling the space, and developed into a range of cell types, including one that hasn’t been able to be grown in the lab. The human cells also developed working connections to the mice’s brain and spinal cord. The experiments, which were conducted following rigorous ethical guidelines, could be useful for studying brain development and disorders.
