Less doubt mongering.👎 More facts. 👍 COVID Vaccines Still Effective, Study www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdi... Effectiveness: - 29.3% against emergency department visits - 39.2% against hospitalizations - 64% against deaths "Vaccines were effective across age groups"

Dimitrios P. Kontoyiannis, MD, MS, ScD, PhD, FIDSA, will present this year’s Joseph E. Smadel Lecture, “Studying a Lethal Fungus: My 25 Year Journey in Mucormycosis Research.” See Dr. Kontoyiannis present at #IDWeek2025. Register: https://idweek.org/registration

Recent changes to vaccine recommendations are creating unnecessary confusion for families and providers. When decades-old policies change without new safety data, it undermines the stability that pediatricians and parents rely on. www.healthline.com/health-news/...

All universities suffering from cuts in science funding should follow suit with this clever idea for a outdoor science fair for research that has been suspended @domucla.bsky.social www.latimes.com/california/s...

Great to see this work be published, it has been such a wonderful opportunity to be involved with the #IMPACC network - these important findings re immune response to #COVID will be useful for future pandemics especially for vulnerable populations @ast-idcop.bsky.social @niaidnews.bsky.social

Excellent read from @danielleofri.bsky.social on the reality for clinicians as NIH, CDC, FDA recs are put under political controls: “Medical professionals can no longer fully trust federal health guidance, and our patients are the ones who will suffer the most.” www.nytimes.com/2025/07/28/o...
