Bruce Mirken"People #vaccinated against #COVID in Germany in 2023 experienced reduced hospitalization rates, fewer #LongCOVID diagnoses, and lower all-cause mortality than those who weren't vaccinated, according to a new study published in Eurosurveillance." Hmmm... less disease, less death. Seems like a good thing to me.

Study finds long COVID leaves a distinct immune signature in the blood
Researchers identified a small panel of inflammatory and neurology-related blood proteins that may help distinguish long COVID from recovery or no prior infection, while also showing that booster vaccination did not appear to worsen these protein responses in this cohort. The study also found that immune responses after reinfection differed from those seen after the first SARS-CoV-2 infection, suggesting altered long-term immune behavior in some previously infected individuals.
MarkKent’s #meningitis outbreak was years in the making – here’s why
The #students caught up in it belong to a generation that has never been routinely #vaccinated against the strain responsible.
That is not because a #vaccine doesn’t exist. It does. Bexsero, which protects against #meningococcal group B #disease has been available since 2013
The #UK even became the first country in the world to add it to its national #immunisation schedule, in September 2015.
But only for babies ...

Nearly 1,500 #children in #India were #vaccinated over the past two years thanks to a group of #TransWomen working with the Sakhee Project, a pilot #program serving #migrant #communities in Maharashtra. Known as “Sakhee didis,” the #women went door-to-door sharing vaccine information and accompanying #HealthWorkers to help bridge mistrust between #undocumented #families and the #health #system. Link in bio for everything we know."

The Tattooed Nonna 🧙♀️People who are not #vaccinated are almost always infected after they’re exposed to the measles virus; #measles is the most contagious known #virus in the world and can hang in the air for hours.
The current spread in South Carolina is occurring at several schools and a church in Spartanburg County with 254 people under a three-week quarantine. It takes 21 days for symptoms to occur after an exposure.
Eric the half-a-beeThanks for being the #Covid guy and doing all the hard background #research for your posts. To add my lazy two-cents worth I recently got a real bad dose of Covid and it was the worst “dose of flu” that I have suffered.
It was about four days before I even thought to test myself feeling bad enough for Hospital. Stupid, because I am elderly and have heart problems.
#Antivirals made me feel a lot better.
I’m fully #vaccinated but the latest strain finally got through! Picked up at a local shopping centre.
I plan to start wearing an #N95 each time I visit a large shopping centre now, just like the old days. 👍🧐🧐🧐

We got BOOSTED this morning! 💉💪 Gimmie that 5G!! Lol

beSpacific#CDC today updated its adult, child #immunization schedules to apply individual-based decision-making to #COVID19 vaccination and recommend that #toddlers receive protection from #chickenpox as standalone #immunization Rather than in Combination with #measles, #mumps, and #rubella vaccination. CDC states "Informed consent is back" Translation - non #vaccinated #children jeopardize the #publichealth of the entire #US #population - #adults #elderly #ill #ImmunoCompromised #chronicillness #cancer
Suzanne Aldrich (she/her)Update: No side effects except sore arms and they are all better now. #vaccinated #fluvaccine #covidvaccine
