The COVID-19 mRNA-based vaccines that saved 2.5 million lives globally during the pandemic
could help spark the immune system to fight cancer.
This is the surprising takeaway of a new study published in the journal Nature.
While developing mRNA vaccines for patients with brain tumors in 2016, our team, led by pediatric oncologist Elias Sayour, discovered that mRNA can train immune systems to kill tumors – even if the mRNA is not related to cancer.
Based on this finding…

NHS in trouble this winter.
I keep thinking what a stonker of a false economy it is for the NHS to go "la la la, doesn't matter" about everyday covid infections.
Like has it not occurred to you that you're making more people ill? some of whom you then have to look after, some of whom are your staff who will then be unavailable?
How about some air filters in waiting rooms at least?

But there's a lot of young people who don't have problems with images like these which show wrong things, make up stuff that's weird, look creepy and misspell text.
I wonder if perhaps repeated COVID infections contribute to people's mental decline that is similar to age-related mental issues.

Content warning: Green Party / covid / air quality (positive)

Out of curiosity, I just watched the 3'39" video on the front of the Green Party web site, which turned out to be themed primarily on what it means to be "super rich". Really good video overall, I thought.
I especially wanted to highlight one phrase which stood out to me:
"Since the pandemic began".
A lot of people would have said "Since the pandemic" or "during the pandemic" - as if it were over now.
I'm thinking: _Someone_ on his team knows the difference. I'm not saying it's definitely ZP himself, I expect he takes input from colleagues on the speech-writing, but still. _Someone_ there knows the pandemic is still happening.
There's an allusion to air quality as well.
Thank you whoever that was!

For years, Sen. Ron Johnson has been spreading conspiracy theories and misinformation about COVID-19 and the safety of vaccines.
He’s promoted disproven treatments for COVID-19
and claimed, without evidence, that athletes are “dropping dead on the field” after getting the COVID-19 vaccination.
Now the Wisconsin politician is endorsing a book by a discredited doctor promoting an unproven and dangerous treatment for autism and a host of ailments:

I was thinking, maybe another time you could say e.g. "in the early days of the pandemic" to refer to around 2020/2021.
It's because saying "during the pandemic" to mean a past era can give the impression that covid is over now, which I don't think is a helpful framing.

Update, someone pointed me at this video with a rather sensible actual policy on "Covid and Long Covid" from the Greens! Yay :-)

There’s an unwritten rule in publishing,
or so I’ve been told:
don’t write about COVID.
Our collective attention span has been saturated by those endless months holed up in attics and cramped corners of apartments, staring out at a world we could no longer take part in.
When the worst of it passed, we felt an urge to close that chapter, to padlock it behind a heavy latch.
But in doing so, we also tuck away the hard-won lessons of that time:

A national cohort study in France shows no association between mRNA COVID-19 vaccine received in the first trimester & congenital defects in babies.
This adds to previous national studies that reported similar outcomes.
Kennedy is wrong, as usual.

“And God gave us nature as well
and we get the chance through science to do that.
I think of science as glimpsing God’s mind.
Science is almost a form of worship because what you’re trying to do there is to be completely caught up in the awe of what we’ve been given in natu…
