This Week's #RFKJr Whopper of the Week from Defend Public Health: In a deadly #flu season, Kennedy discourages #vaccination. https://www.defendpublichealth.org/opinion/whopper-week-deadly-flu-season-rfk-jr-discourages-vaccination

Whopper of the Week: In a Deadly Flu Season, RFK Jr. Discourages Vaccination | Defend Public Health

RFK Jr said in January that it may be a "better thing" if fewer children are vaccinated against influenza. In fact, multiple studies have shown that influenza vaccination protects children against severe illness, hospitalization and death, including the CDC's own data and studies. A March 16 judicial ruling has put the CDC's new flu vaccine guidelines on hold. But Kennedy continues to sow doubt in order to restrict access to life saving flu vaccines.

Excited to share our paper in Journal of Medicinal #Chemistry exploring carbobicyclic nucleoside analogues as potential #antivirals!

We swapped the ribose oxygen for a carbon in nucleoside analogues and explored this novel scaffold.

From our library, several compounds showed activity against #HCV, #HSV, #influenza, and #RSV. One uracil-based analogue stood out by inhibiting multiple viruses like #flu and HCV. Modeling suggests it “locks” the viral active site instead of being incorporated into RNA.

What really surprised us: nucleobases with known antiviral effects (like NHC from molnupiravir) didn’t work in our scaffold—but unmodified uracil did. The scaffold itself changes how these molecules behave.

Encouragingly, these compounds phosphorylate efficiently in cells without needing prodrugs, don't inhibit human polymerases, and our #synthesis is efficient: 28 pyrimidine and 35 purine analogues from just two intermediates in under 10 steps.

Huge thanks to all collaborators and colleagues who made this work possible!

They still don’t have any flu vaccines.

Back in a couple of months for another Shingles shot. 👍
