“70% of household infection started with a child” Let that sink in So why aren’t schools doing everything possible to prevent infection? Clean indoor air. Masks. Mandatory isolation for positive cases. Vaccines + boosters.

🏫 As schools go back this week remember 70% of household infection started with a child “children were important viral vectors in households, particularly when school was in session” Almost 1 million people in Ireland will go back school this week jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

My guess is PB E627 developed in the human case during #H5N1 infection – Closest D1.1 seqs from CAN wild birds have PB2 627E W/input frm @HNimanFC, seems to be ~50/50 627E & 627K – IMO wld be consistent w/developing in the human case Also frm @RajlabN👇 x.com/RajlabN/status…

Note: alignment of the segment coding for 627

7- But the virus does more than simply slip passed our antibodies. Many variants that dominate do two things well. 1.Enter/replicate well in our bodies in addition to sliding passed neutralisation responses. In parallel, we had what we referred to as a shifting tropism project.

I leave Rome and LongCOVID children conference arranged by @surf4children with a heart full of hope. Clinicians are getting it! Clotting IS a problem, together with many other issues: hormone imbalance/immunity. Great meeting old friends again!

The Trump administration plans to nominate Jay Bhattacharya to lead the NIH. Bhattacharya has spread disinformation on COVID, fought against lifesaving measures including vaccines, masks, and social distancing, and is backed by dark money groups pushing corporate interests.

Here's the latest variant picture for New Zealand. DeFLuQE variants continue to dominate, although growth appears to have stalled. XEC.* growth has stalled at around 23%. More details: aus.social/@mike_honey_/1…

Good observations. See also this thread posted by @SCOTTeHENSLEY: bsky.app/profile/scotte… I have added a few notes to the bottom of that thread. To recap here:

I would love to tell you about the times vaccines prevented me from getting sick, but every time it happens, I don’t notice. I just keep feeling well. Neither do you. Public health, when it’s working, is invisible.

I honestly don't understand how JCVI or covid researchers get away with speaking about 'cost-effectiveness' of vaccination without modelling long COVID, one of the most common, debilitating and costly impacts of the infection. 🧵

Ok, now let’s review all the reasons why the cost-effectiveness analysis (which has NOT been peer reviewed) is flawed. There are 4 main issues: 1️⃣ The analysis *only* considered hospital & ICU admissions and deaths using reported data from 2023/24. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Here's the ACIP (JCVI equivalent in the US) presentation on outcomes prevented due to boosters across different age groups presented at their open meeting. Gains in terms of reducing deaths/ICU are biggest for older age gps, but there is marked reduction in LC for younger gps

Researchers found SARS-CoV-2 traps cholesterol in lysosomes using its ORF3a protein, disrupting lipid balance in infected cells. This may explain COVID-19-related metabolic issues like altered cholesterol levels and long-term lipid abnormalities. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
