Hooo boy. Wilde story ... Wilde story.

The anonymized version of the report summary dated January 2025 was published alongside the retraction and concluded that while the authors’ actions did not constitute misconduct, Kaspers and Huibers exhibited “carelessness, ignorance and negligence.” The report also found the article “pays disproportionate attention to the possibility that introduction of corona measures and vaccination might have caused excess mortality, whilst largely ignoring alternative explanations” and “misleadingly and…
Mostert argued governments and media implemented fear and propaganda tactics to reduce “tolerance for reason and dissenting voices” during the pandemic and claimed the investigation into her paper violated academic freedom and constituted censorship.
Also in her testimony, Mostert said she proposed a revision to the published paper that “included a section on vaccine effectiveness in reducing mortality,” but the suggestion was “ignored by the journal.” She also claimed the original section on containment measures and vaccines was “much shorter in the original version of the paper,” but reviewers “asked us to either delete the text or provide more evidence. As there is evidence available, we included it.” The BMJ Public Health retraction not…

As Bozkurt, Kamat, and Hotez reported in Circulation,
the myocarditis risk from COVID-19 vaccination is both rare and less severe than the myocarditis one risks from COVID-19 itself:
According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, myocarditis/pericarditis rates are
≈12.6 cases per million doses of second-dose mRNA vaccine among individuals 12 to 39 years of age.
…

Despite rare cases of myocarditis,
the benefit-risk assessment for COVID-19 vaccinati…

Vaccines, Cardiovascular Health, and Alzheimer's
Remember when the right-wing nuts went crazy about vaccines, claiming they killed randomly with heart attacks, myocarditis, “turbo cancer”, and such? Well… some time has passed, and we now have some big studies with long baseline data on that. Guess which way it comes out. I dare you.

Australia working to catch 5,000 penguins, vaccinate them against bird flu
Capturing wildlife to vaccinate them is difficult, particularly because the bird flu vaccination requires they be caught twice, for two doses.

Between 2020 and 2024, no cervical cancer deaths were recorded in women aged 20 to 24
- the first time that had happened over a five-year period.
Without vaccination, around 23 deaths would have been expected.
"It's incredible to think that a single jab can almost eliminate a particular type of cancer,"
said Prof Peter Sasieni, the lead researcher at Queen Mary University of London.

Cervical cancer deaths fall to zero in young women given vaccine
A new study finds that hundreds of lives have been saved since school-age girls were offered the HPV jab in 2008.

""I can’t read his mind, of course (nor would I want to), but there’s a curious temporal coincidence that might explain Trump’s fixation on the 'harm' caused by vaccination: On March 20, 2006, his son Barron was born," Baker argued. "By the next year, Trump was fulminating about vaccines causing babies to be born with various problems — including autism.""
