  1. Elizabeth Jacobs, PhD on Bluesky: "Just in time for the 2026-2027 vaccines, a new review shows that COVID19 vaccination significantly reduces the risk of severe illness and hospitalization across all age groups, including kids.

    Pregnant women were also protected, as were their babies.

    Don’t forget to schedule your vaccination!"

    While this book does provide a helpful inside account of the foundation and operation of COVAX, and insights into the struggles for vaccine equity, the failure to properly address the civil society debate over intellectual property and access to essential medicines was perplexing.

  28. The U.S. Department of Health is reinstating the Task Force on Safer Childhood Vaccines, which disbanded in 1998. Its chair will be Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, co-author of the Great Barrington Declaration, who advocated "herd immunity" during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and opposed mask mandates and vaccine passports. Here's more from NBC.

  29. "In this nationwide cohort study, no increased risk of 29 adverse events was observed after vaccination with the updated COVID-19 mRNA vaccine containing the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron JN.1 lineage in approximately 1 million adults."

  30. "The first thing to do if someone expresses uncertainty about vaccines to you, say researchers, is not to judge or dismiss them. It’s wrong to assume that people are ignorant, irrational or have naively swallowed online misinformation. A lot of people have genuine and legitimate questions..."

    I guess, the main point is that there are risks associated with vaccines, but that the diseases that they prevent are much worse. #vaccine #vaccines #vaccination #VaccineSafety #VaccineSideEffects #VaccinesWork

  31. Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is a rare neurological disorder where the body’s immune system attacks the nerves, affecting about 1 to 4 people per 100,000 each year. It is rare! You need a lot of people to be able to do a study like this one.

  34. #BillGates #Vaccines #IP #Patents #COVAX: "There’s no denying Gates was subject to conspiracies, including that he was putting microchips in Covid vaccines and might be a lizard person. But there was also righteous anger aimed at him for opposing an effort to waive intellectual property (IP) rights on the vaccines so more companies could manufacture them and sell them at much lower cost to increase access in the Global South. Gates pushed the COVAX initiative, claiming it would get vaccines to low-income countries despite the IP rules, that largely failed and actively spread misinformation in the media about the ability of other facilities around the world to manufacture Covid vaccines. He was accused of enabling vaccine apartheid. That was no conspiracy theory, but you won’t hear anything about that in the series. According to its narrative, all the anger he faced was based on misinformation."
