Serious Listeria infections rising in Europe, EU report warns
Every year, thousands of people across Europe fall ill after eating contaminated food, with eggs, meat and ready-to-eat (RTE) food products among the most frequent sources of infection. The report shows that while food safety standards in Europe remain high, foodborne diseases continue to affect people across all age groups – especially those most vulnerable to severe illness – even though many of these diseases are preventable.Listeria: a rare but serious infectionIn 2024, Listeria caused …

Another unforeseen effect of COVID-19 vaccination has been detected.
Wait for it.
It reduces the incidence of autism (and other neurodevelopmental disorders).

COVID-19 infection during pregnancy is associated with higher rates of autism and neurodevelopmental diagnoses
A recent study found that infection with SARS-CoV-2 during pregnancy is associated with a higher risk of autism and neurodevelopment disorders. This is yet another reason why vaccination during pregna

In the olden days when I was a young 'un, I used not to wear a scarf, because "whatever for?!"
Nowadays I'm thinking of it as a seal, and therefore it is obligatory. Even in bed, where it seals the space between my head and the blanket *.

Picus Security, an interesting security vendor I only recently became aware of, has a report out on the Fog Ransomware group. An easy protective control to put in place based on this group's TTPs is to block *.netlify.app. This is the domain used by Netlify's free tier apps and is being abused. Note that most legitimate business customers of Netlify will use their own domains to access Netlify apps, so blocking their free tier domain is not likely to impact your users.

“This virus causes system-wide injury that accumulates with each infection: brain damage that undermines decision-making, immune dysregulation leading to infections like Kaposi sarcoma and tuberculosis in lymph nodes — the very signatures of HIV-AIDS now rising again — and cardiac injury with accelerated aging,” explains Bar-Yam.

Alabama woman prosecuted after stillbirth receives new trial
A judge vacated the conviction of an Alabama woman sentenced to 18 years in prison after a stillbirth. Brooke Shoemaker was convicted of criminal endangerment of a child resulting in death after admitting to using methamphetamine during her pregnancy. Her attorneys said there was no evidence the drug use caused the pregnancy loss. They submitted an expert’s opinion that the pregnancy loss was caused by genetic abnormality and severe infection. Circuit Judge Jeffrey Tickal ruled last week that…

The Trump administration is dismantling the last of the public commons.
It’s cutting billions to state programs tracking disease,

canceling local food programs for schools and food banks,
rolling back vaccinations,
and shutting down the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC’s) Healthcare Infection Control Practices Advisory Commi…

It is that time of the year for us senior citizens.
Wife and I have received our influenza shots and this weekend our COVID shots are scheduled.
Approximately 23 years ago I went through hell with influenza and complications. I contracted it just before my scheduled vaccination. Major lung infection and I ended up off work for six weeks. I don't remember Christmas that year and for several weeks at the beginning we told everyone they were not allowed to visit just in case …

Thought Slime posted a video on Liberals and Charlie Kirk (linked in my post). It touched on a few ideas I've been wanting to explore more.
Why is it that, even though we talk "memes" going "viral" we are still talking about "Free Market of Ideas" as though ideas were inanimate objects we could handle and observe objectively? Perhaps that idea is it's own infection.
