- 11 preclinical reports, including 2 for mucosal pancoronavirus vaccines
New vaccines are helping Ghana approach a long-sought goal of ending child deaths from malaria, but aid cutbacks could mean fewer children benefit. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/02/02/world/science-health/malaria-vaccines-ghana-child-deaths/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #sciencehealth #malaria #vaccines #ghana #us #donaldtrump #republicans #usaid

Sigh... I liked it when measles was eliminated here. 😔
Get vaccinated, people. It's rather essential for those of us that have problems with their immune systems.

"On the heels of a measles outbreak in Texas that killed two unvaccinated children, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton says he has opened an investigation into pediatricians who vaccinate because, he claims, they receive illegal financial incentives to do so."

The latest YouGov/Economist survey, conducted between January 16-19,🚨shows that 71% think the US is “out of control” under Trump, while only 18% think the country is “under control.”
The poll found that the sense of the country being🚨“OUT OF CONTROL” spanned nearly every demographic.
The damning poll comes after HC subsidies under #ACA provisions expired. Debate over prospective extensions to the support schemes, #RFKJr's #MAHA, esp re #vaccines...

Okay, I am a lot more alive today.
If you get the two part Shingles vaccine, make sure you take the next day off, after the second shot. I jinxed myself by saying "Oh, this isn't too bad." For me, the side effects were mild at first: mostly fatigue. It was the next day that it hit, hard. Are you usually aware of all of your bones? Because you will be acutely aware of all of them after the second shot.
Today, the pain is pretty much gone. I just feel rubbery, the opposite of yesterday where I felt like I was made of heavy lumber and somehow had tried to swim the English channel without drowning.
It's still worth it. Shingles is more painful than the side effects of the shot. (If you ever suspect Shingles, you want to get your doc to Rx Valtrex and Neurontin ASAP, before it gets worse.) I've had Shingles twice. It will make you cry.
We don't know exactly how much protection vs. Alzheimer's that Shingrix imparts, but potentially 40%. Why? Because viruses are key and always have been. They are known triggers of many conditions, especially autoimmune, but others, too.
So, get the shots, if you can.
