I was recently in Anaheim, Calif., for Vidcon, the biggest social video creator conference of the year. I create YouTube and Instagram videos for STAT, so I’ve been to Vidcon a few times as an attendee. But this year I was struck by how much of the conference’s programming was dedicated to the mental health of content creators. 

I’ve covered the mental health implications of social video consumption in a previous STATus Report. But I was interested to hear more about the mental health of the people who put themselves out there on social media, often with audiences numbering in the millions.

If you’ve been wondering about flu (influenza) and the viruses in circulation, especially the H3N2 “subclade K” variant that emerged after the 2025 flu vaccine was formulated, check out this short video from STAT news:

https://youtu.be/Z5L6H59GfRY?si=y6M9vC4o2V4WSAvL

And remember: a mis-matched vaccine still primes the immune system, and the evidence says that is better than not prepping the old immune system in the first place.

Oh, hi STAT. I'm not a regular reader of your publication. Today, a news story from you showed up in my newsfeed. I clicked on it, started to read, and was soon presented with a "give us your email or else" prompt to be able to read the entire article.

Well...

This won't do. Not only did I not give you my email, but you are now banned from my newsfeed.

The last thing I need is more spam in my mailbox, from an organization I don't really care about.

So long, and thanks for nothing.

"Logic and reason dictate that acute SARS-CoV-2 infection causes long Covid.

Or, more accurately, acute Covid-19 triggers ME/CFS in the same way many other infectious agents trigger ME/CFS.

'Triggers' means a temporal association, temporal association, but not 'cause' in a mechanistic sense — at least not identifiable with currently available scientific tools."

Great article from #statnews highlighting just how difficult it is to predict flu and the likelihood of significant human to human transmission, as #H5N1 continues to spread in mammals

Avoid quick online access to medications -- or very personal medical info may be handed to places such as Facebook.
A joint investigation by #STAT and The Markup of 50 direct-to-consumer telehealth companies found that online access to medications often means sensitive medical information they collect is handed to the world’s largest advertising platforms.
Questions like Are you in danger of harming yourself or others? If not, what’s your current opioid and alcohol use?
