CDC FluView is back, and our fears look like reality. 50.8% of circulating H3N2 viruses belong to the 2a.3a.1-K subclade, which have 2 mutations in a very important antigenic site. Our own 2025-2026 vaccine immunogenicity data will be posted in the next couple of weeks. www.cdc.gov/fluview/surv...

The deadly fever in Ethiopia has been identified as Marburg disease. It’s the first time a Marburg outbreak has been identified in Ethiopia. #IDsky 🧪 www.afro.who.int/countries/et...

UKHSA just published a pre-print on preliminary VE of H3N2 vaccination vs subclade K - results give some peace of mind: VE vs hospitalization ranges from 30-40% for adults, about 70-75% for children #testnegativedesign @freja-kirsebom.bsky.social www.gov.uk/government/p...

Expanded version of the last graph, both in the number of years & in its horizontal stretching. #AusFlu2025 peaked in July, but has declined slowly, meaning there's been *lots* of #flu around for a long time. Sept-2025 was the 2nd biggest Sept since 2017, and Oct-2025 was the biggest Oct on record

I want to spell this out in case the implications aren't clear: This means all public tools/webapps of GISAID data (all the ones you've been used to seeing thru the pandemic, as far as we can tell) are prohibited. The file allowed this. Cut that - cut off all tools the public & others were using.

Seroprevalence of measles antibodies, 2012-13, México & Nicaragua. Effective coverage obv lower than crude reported coverages. Some geographical clues, perhaps electricity & cold chain disruptions, malnutration or not discussed: the use of only ELISA methods pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

If the Chihuahua measles outbreak reaches the tarahumara community, say South of the state like Guachochi, Bocoyna, things would get really bad.

Steve Bannon, piece of shit !

Communications shutdown. Travel ban. Canceled study sections. Now a hiring freeze? Shutting down the NIH indefinitely without stated cause is literally an act of sabotage. Left: yesterday. Right: today.

Elon Musk is a jerk

The debate / essays about whether Musk did / did not do a Nazi salute is a trap, catching us all up into the granularities of what that salute looks like, etc. The vast majority of us have lived decades knowing never to do anything near, adjacent, kinda, accidentally like a Nazi salute.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

Concerned about formaldehyde in vaccines? Consider the pear .....

Just joined the exodus - so what´s going on w/ H5Nx and all other interesting stuff ?
