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?

I can understand maybe not being able to comprehend this due to age (he's 79).
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.

It's some reflections on
• having caught covid three years ago
• that setting off dysautonomia / PoTS
• slowly mostly-recovering
• the social-misfit nature of not wanting to catch it again.
It's not that I think a lot of people will necessarily be interested in such a personal and relatively long post, but I wanted to write it anyway to mark the anniversary. And maybe it'll be useful/ companionable to some people in ways I can't predict.

"Health officials are urging people to take extra precautions - including wearing a face mask if you have symptoms - as four winter viruses continue to circulate across the UK."
"If you have symptoms"? Nice start, but maybe also mention that covid is infectious _before_ symptoms! Or indeed _without_ any symptoms!
At least the person in the photo has a fitted(ish) mask and not a "baggy blue". Well done to whoever selected that. One little step in the right direction.

Recently I joined in for an online "watch the same event and then have a chat" with some folks from the Sheffield group, and enjoyed it. They also do in-person events about once a month, I just haven't been to one (yet) as it's out of town for me. Great to be able to swop useful info as well.

Through mid-October, IHS had published far fewer posts on Facebook promoting vaccine clinics this year than last.
And in those posts as well as other notices, it replaced language touting immunization’s benefits
with wording that frames both routine childhood vaccinations and annual flu and COVID-19 shots as a personal choice,
advising patients to consult health care providers about their “options regarding vaccines.”
Current and former IHS clinicians told ProPublica…
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.
