Despite the media clickbait about #SubcladeK being a #SuperFlu or "lethal", there's no evidence that it produces worse symptoms than typical #influenza variants, or even that it's more virulent. Instead we have a combination of a mutation which makes it better at avoiding this year's #flu #vaccine, along with…
wait for it…
lower #vaccination rates.
The vaccine still reduces hospitalization and death rates for subclade K, so it seems likely this year's increase in flu hospitalizations and deaths will be far better explained by the lower vaccination rates (in some countries) plus the early start of the flu season (in some countries) than by the mutation.

The UK has approved a next-gen covid vaccine called Kostaive!
It’s meant to provide a stronger immune response and longer-lasting protection against symptomatic illness and severe illness. Fingers crossed it’s easy to access in the spring!

Trump has now spent 317 days ending the Ukraine war in 24 hours.
Every day Trump cowers to Putin instead of helping Ukraine, more Ukrainians die.
Trump is not stopping the killing. He is the cause of the killing.
@randahl
With all due respect to Ukrainans✊ suffering and dying (for us europeans too).
Yes, but allow me to point out, it's sadly "only" the more obvious deaths he (rather say #project2025 ) is causing (/not stopping).
Not in the deathcount (nationally/globally) included are those by cuts in health- and science-programs. #Medicaid #Medicare #USAID #vaccine #climate #education #WHO .....
The number of deaths will be in the hundreds of thousands, if not way more globally.
Hey just a friendly reminder since folk are doing flu and covid vax rn to not forget about TDaP! Many places recommend a fresh boost if you have a tetanus exposure and its been at least five years since your last one, and it should be boosted every 10 years regardless. While people associate tetanus with rusty nails and barb wire fencing, it lives in the soil. So if you play in the dirt (looking at cavers, gardeners, outdoorsy folk in general) you may be due sooner than you think. Folk like us often have abrasions or cuts on our hands from doing things, and then shove our hands into dirt and mud. Keep that in mind! Plus it seems like every other winter there is a new whooping cough outbreak and thats the P part of TDaP so its an easy one to forget about but a good one to stay up on.
Now that you are protected, go flip some rocks! (And make sure you gently put them back!)

The #CDC has repudiated its past insistence that #vaccines do not cause #autism after decades of fighting #misinformation linking the 2, blindsiding career staff & delighting #AntiVax activists.
The agency’s website on vaccines & autism, updated Wednesday, now makes several #false claims about a connection, echoing longtime rhetoric from “Health” Secy #RFKJr, who has a lengthy history of disparaging vaccines & linking them to autism.
Career scientists at the agency responsible for information about #vaccine safety & #autism had no prior knowledge about the changes to the website and were not consulted, acc/to 5 agency ofcls…
Before the Wednesday update, the #CDC webpage stated that studies have shown that there is “no link” between #vaccines & developing autism, & that “no links”have been found between any vaccine ingredients & the disorder…
