“'We estimate that over a seven-year follow-up period, the shingles vaccine averts one in five new dementia diagnoses,' says Dr. Pascal Geldsetzer, an assistant professor of medicine at Stanford University and senior author of the study.
The findings were replicated in a similar study in JAMA this year, looking at seniors in Australia when the government rolled out a similar shingles-vaccine program."

"In June 2020, Monsanto acquisitor Bayer agreed to settle over a hundred thousand Roundup cancer lawsuits, agreeing to pay $8.8 to $9.6 billion to settle those claims, and $1.5 billion for any future claims. The settlement does not include three cases that have already gone to jury trials and are being appealed.[14]"

A flagship study that declared the weedkiller Roundup posed no serious health risks has been retracted with little fanfare, ending a 25-year saga that exposed how corporate interests can distort scientific research. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/12/06/world/science-health/landmark-pesticide-study-fall/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #sciencehealth #pesticides #health #cancer #environment
Without USAID funding to help buy food for refugees, the World Food Program rushed to prioritize families based on need, determining that only half the population would get food.
Refugees learned which half they were in from a number stamped on the back of their ration card.

Chemical industry lobbyists have long pushed the government to adopt a less stringent approach to gauging the cancer risk from chemicals, one that would help ease regulations on companies that make or use them.
They finally got their wish.

Going with a comforting floral pattern in a plummy purple ink for today's #inkyDays drawing.
I had to go to the Cancer hospital for a blood draw today, which is always boring and stressful. But there was some cool art hanging in the waiting room and big entry way of the building. Oh, and the results were already posted for me by the time I got home. Looks good!
