Well all right we wouldn’t know if this is it but we’dn’t be surprised if the antiinfectionists realised they could play the same game and use disinformation conspiracy theorist plays to change behaviour, as in tell a white lung lie to get the children to behave, call it an invisible odourless fog that the governments are allowing to poison everyone and the only way to protect yourself from the mind control is to wear a damn good mask

Does it matter why? This is it. How it happened is not the issue. How they fix it is.
I don’t smoke. Don’t drink. Eat healthy. Stay active. Had no indication that something was wrong until four fucking days ago. And the only solution is to crack my ribs open and stop my heart to try to repair. If they can’t repair they will put in a alien (probably) valve and it changes my life forever

Unusual Increase in Poliovirus Detections: Multiple Countries Event Summary: Since September 2024, circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus type 2 (cVDPV2) has been detected in wastewater samples in routine surveillance from multiple cities across Europe and in Melbourne, Australia. Further, a paralytic case of poliomyelitis (serotype 1) was reported in Israel on December 25, 2024, in an unvaccinated 17- year-old child, with further information not publicly available. These detections are highly unusual given the WHO European Region and Western Pacific Region achieved polio elimination in 2002 and 2000, respectively. Polio has been eliminated in the WHO Region of the Americas since 1994. However, in 2022, circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus was detected in Canadian wastewater, following multiple detections in the United Kingdom, Israel, and the United States. The sequence of these viruses were related, indicating they were connected by travelling infected persons. This highlights the risk of cVDPV2 importation. The recent signals serve as a reminder to stay vigilant for signs of polio even in elimination settings.

Consumer Reports has posted a recommendation for people to wear N95s for wildfire smoke pollution, along with suggestions to stay indoors, run air purifiers, etc.
This reasonable suggestion of how people can protect themselves from hazardous particulate pollution has been met with much knee-jerk opposition to masks, and even to the very concept of the need clean air.
There are few anti-maskers in the comments who concede that masks can work for wood smoke, but then falsely claim but not for covid, not knowing that wood smoke pollution is actually smaller than covid-containing respiratory droplets, and is around the same size as bare virus particles. Fortunately, N95s are very efficient at filtering all of these sizes, and work even better the better the mask seals on your face.

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned that COVID was “a wake-up call to the world”. “The COVID-19 crisis may have passed, but a harsh lesson remains: the world is woefully unprepared for the next pandemic,” he said.
passed hey are you some kind of genius
His remarks resonated with recent comments from WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. “If the next pandemic arrived today, the world would still face some of the same weaknesses and vulnerabilities that gave COVID-19 a foothold five years ago,” he said. “But the world has also learned many of the painful lessons the pandemic taught us, and has taken significant steps to strengthen its defences against future epidemics and pandemics.”

Published 24 January 2025The UK Chief Veterinary Officer has ordered a new Avian Influenza Prevention Zone AIPZ to cover the whole of England from noon on Saturday 25 January following the escalating number of cases of avian influenza and continued heightened risk levels in wild birds.
The move will require keepers to conduct enhanced biosecurity to mitigate the risk of further outbreaks of the disease.
A housing order has also been extended in the north of England to now cover York and North Yorkshire, and a new Housing Order has been ordered for Shropshire following an outbreak in the county. This will come into force at 00:01 on Monday 27th January.

Child deaths in England rising above pre-pandemic levels, study finds
Number surges after temporary decline during lockdowns, with rate higher for children from non-white backgrounds
Jamie Grierson
Fri 24 Jan 2025 06.00 AEDTChild deaths in England have risen to new levels after a temporary fall during the Covid-19 pandemic, a study has found.
The study, published in the PLOS Medicine journal, shows children were less likely to die between April 2020 and March 2021, a period when lockdowns were in place, than at any time before or since. There were 377 fewer deaths than expected from the previous 12-month period.
However, while the number of deaths in the following year, 2021-22, was similar to before the pandemic, in 2022-23, there were 258 more deaths than expected from 2020-21 period, researchers at the University of Bristol found using the National Child Mortality Database (NCMD).

Plasma proteomic evidence for increased β-amyloid pathology after SARS-CoV-2 infection
Previous studies have suggested that systemic viral infections may increase risks of dementia. Whether this holds true for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus infections is unknown. Determining this is important for anticipating the potential future incidence of dementia. To begin to do this, we measured plasma biomarkers linked to Alzheimer’s disease pathology in the UK Biobank before and after serology-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infections. SARS-CoV-2 infection was associated with biomarkers associated with β-amyloid pathology: reduced plasma Aβ42:Aβ40 ratio and, in more vulnerable participants, lower plasma Aβ42 and higher plasma pTau-181. The plasma biomarker changes were greater in participants who had been hospitalized with COVID-19 or had reported hypertension previously. We showed that the changes in biomarkers were linked to brain structural imaging patterns associated with Alzheimer’s disease, lower cognitive test scores and poorer overall health evaluations. Our data from this post hoc case–control matched study thus provide observational biomarker evidence that SARS-CoV-2 infection can be associated with greater brain β-amyloid pathology in older adults. While these results do not establish causality, they suggest that SARS-CoV-2 (and possibly other systemic inflammatory diseases) may increase the risk of future Alzheimer’s disease.

3rd February 2025 – (Tokyo) A nationwide influenza outbreak of staggering magnitude has brought this island nation to its knees, shattering all recorded case data and leaving a wake of overwhelmed hospitals, scarce medical supplies, and tragically, fatalities. The untimely death of Taiwanese actress Barbie Hsu from flu complications at just 48 years old highlights the severity of the virus’s impact.
The numbers out of Japan are nothing short of astonishing. During the final week of December 2024, the country logged over 317,000 new influenza cases – a record-shattering total more than triple the previous year’s tally for the same period. The average of 64 cases per medical institution obliterated the previous high-water mark and saw warning levels breached in a staggering 43 of Japan’s 47 prefectures. Certain regions like Oita reeled under a crushing 104 cases per institution.

There are concerns though that the units, at about $6,000 each, may be too costly for small-scale beekeepers. “They’re made in Austria and they are a bit large so they are costly to bring to Australia,” Ms Martin said. The pair also acknowledged that large-scale producers may see the process of treating each brood frame as too time-consuming. Depending on the size of the unit, 10 to 20 frames are treated at a time for two hours. But Ms Martin said treatments currently available were also costing beekeepers. “Some of the treatments, you’re not supposed to have any honey and with many of the treatments you’re meant to throw out any frames that are tainted from the chemicals,” she said. “So when you count all of those costs, there are labour and costs involved with any varroa treatment.”

Yes. ASIANS = child abuse¡
As students return to school amidst a seasonal influenza peak following the Lunar New Year holiday, many are donning masks to protect themselves.
Concerns about increased infection risks in schools have been echoed by parents.
Student Julien shared his personal protective measures: “I will wear masks and wash my hands after each class.”
His mother, Chow, is worried about the flu season’s timing, saying that the school has yet to send reminders about flu precautions.
The Standard Channel
More>>“That’s why I asked my son to wear masks,” she said.
Another parent, Li, said receiving a notice from the school advising parents to prepare for potential illness in their children during this flu season.
She remains confident in the school’s protective measures, saying that people are likely to be more vigilant post-pandemic.
The Department of Health recently reported around 240 severe cases and deaths linked to the flu since January, with 90 percent of those affected being patients aged 65 and older.
The department said that influenza entered its peak season starting February 5, primarily driven by the H1 virus.

Inside the Bungled Bird Flu Response, Where Profits Collide With Public Health
When dairy cows in Texas began falling ill with H5N1, alarmed veterinarians expected a fierce response to contain an outbreak with pandemic-sparking potential. Then politics—and, critics say, a key agency’s mandate to protect dairy-industry revenues—intervened.
he US Department of Agriculture’s headquarters are situated on a tony stretch of DC real estate, a world away from the nation’s farms. So when something goes seriously wrong on America’s plains and pastures, something that could threaten animal safety or food production, USDA officials rely on rural veterinarians to sound the alarm.
Those vets report findings to state veterinarians, whose doors and inboxes are always open. They even post their cell phone numbers online. The state veterinarians, in turn, utilize a network of diagnostic laboratories approved by the USDA, chief among them the National Veterinary Services Laboratories (NVSL) in Ames, Iowa.
This close-knit network, with built-in redundancies, is primed to tackle the awful and unexpected, whether it’s foot-and-mouth disease, swine fever, or an act of agroterrorism. There’s little standing on ceremony, and state veterinarians generally feel free to reach out directly to leading USDA officials. “If we want information, we go up the chain to the top,” says Beth Thompson, South Dakota’s state veterinarian.
H5N1 Safety Guidelines for Individuals
H5N1 avian influenza is a highly infectious virus that affects wild birds, chickens, and other farm birds. In some cases, it has also been found in mammals, including humans. The virus has spread globally, but in the United States, cattle have been infected, and high levels of H5N1 have been detected in milk collected from farms in certain regions. Farmworkers, veterinarians, and other individuals have also been infected. This guidance is designed to help individuals reduce their risk of infection. While most recommendations apply globally, dairy-specific precautions are tailored to the U.S.
To protect yourself and your household, follow these essential precautions:
Outdoors: Avoid Birds and Contaminated Areas (Global)
Stay Away from Wild Birds and Droppings:
Avoid areas where wild birds congregate, such as parks, riverbanks, and lakes, to reduce exposure to droppings.
Handle Dead Birds Safely:
If you encounter sick or dead birds, wear gloves, masks and protective clothing. Report the situation to local wildlife or health authorities. Dispose of gloves and masks safely after use.
Protect Your Home:
Designate outdoor shoes and disinfect them before entering your home. Alternatively, take off shoes before entering to prevent contaminants from being brought indoors.
Safe Handling and Consumption of Food
Meat and Eggs (Global):
Keep raw poultry and eggs separate from other foods during preparation.
Use separate utensils and cutting boards for raw and cooked foods.
Cook poultry and meat to an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C).
Cook eggs until both the yolk and white are firm. Avoid consuming raw or undercooked eggs.
Dairy Products (U.S.):
Opt for Ultrapasteurized Milk:
Due to concerns about the potential survival of H5N1 virus with standard pasteurization, choose ultrapasteurized milk whenever possible. This method is highly effective at eliminating pathogens and is the safest option for dairy consumption in affected areas.
Standard Pasteurization (HTST) Milk:
Milk processed with standard pasteurization (high-temperature short-time, HTST) significantly reduces H5N1 concentrations but may not eliminate the virus entirely. HTST still carries a risk in areas where H5N1 is present. Whenever possible, prioritize ultrapasteurized milk or home pasteurization for added safety.
Home Pasteurization for Milk, Cream, and Other Dairy Products:
If ultrapasteurized milk is unavailable, perform home pasteurization to ensure safe dairy products: heat milk, cream, or other dairy products to above 165°F (74°C) and maintain this temperature for a few minutes, after it has reached this temperature. For a half-gallon of milk, the entire process, including heating and holding time, takes roughly 20 minutes.
Alternatively, heat milk in a pot until small bubbles form at the edges (just before boiling), then turn off the heat.
Avoid Unpasteurized Dairy Products:
Unpasteurized milk and dairy products, such as cream, butter, or cheese, pose the greatest risk of H5N1 contamination. Additionally, unpasteurized milk is associated with other risks, including bacterial infections like Salmonella, E. coli, and Listeria. These products should be avoided entirely in areas with H5N1.
Handling Unpasteurized Dairy Products Carefully:
If unpasteurized dairy must be used, meticulous care is required. Home pasteurization must ensure the milk or cream reaches 165°F (74°C) and is held at this temperature for a few minutes. Take great care in handling and storage to minimize contamination risks.
Practice Good Hygiene (Global)
In addition to handling food safely, maintaining good hygiene is critical to reducing risk:
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling birds, eggs, meat, or contaminated surfaces.
Use alcohol-based hand sanitizer if soap and water are unavailable.
Stay Informed (Global)
Follow local updates on H5N1 outbreaks and public health guidance.
Consider getting the seasonal flu vaccine to reduce the risk of coinfection, which can complicate diagnosis and treatment.
By following these guidelines, you can reduce your risk of H5N1 exposure and help safeguard your health and your community.

Avian influenza has been detected at a fourth poultry farm at Euroa in Victoria’s north east. The new detection of H7N8 bird flu is linked to the ongoing outbreak at Kinross Farms, a major egg producer that supplies supermarkets. The development comes as egg supplies struggle to meet demand after Australia’s largest-ever avian influenza outbreak in 2024. Kinross Farms managing director Philip Szepe said the free-range farm has 90,000 birds that will be killed to control the spread of the disease at the company’s final egg-laying property in the region.

Bird flu shots now at risk, per Bloomberg:
—-
America is in the midst of a record-breaking bird flu outbreak that’s affected dozens of cattle herds along with poultry flocks nationwide. While human cases have been rare, the virus has caused deaths in the past, and experts are concerned it could become more transmissible and dangerous. Some recent developments do not bode well.
But on Wednesday, it was revealed that the Trump administration has decided to reevaluate a $590 million contract for bird flu shots the Biden administration awarded to Moderna, known for its highly successful Covid-19 shot. Moderna said last month it was gearing up for a big, final-stage trial of its new vaccine, having successfully completed an early-stage trial last year. But without funding, that trial may not happen.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., now President Donald Trump’s top health official, has been a vaccine skeptic and openly criticized Covid-19 shots. In 2021, during the height of the pandemic, Kennedy called them “the deadliest vaccine ever made.” According to the US National Institutes of Health, which now answers to Kennedy, Covid vaccines saved tens of millions of lives during the pandemic.

My doctor’s advice is that at first, they were keeping the vaccine only for children. Because of the above and that the vaccine is expensive.
However, since it has been recorded here twice, they now allow it for those who are immuno-compromised.

The number of people in the Netherlands declared partially or fully unfit for work due to long Covid has risen sharply in recent years. According to figures from the Employee Insurance Agency (UWV), more than 12,000 people have been granted a WIA disability benefit after being ill for more than two years. That figure stood at just 3,000 two years ago.
Patient organizations warn that the real number is much higher. PostCovid NL estimates that 90,000 people in the Netherlands suffer from severe long Covid symptoms. Many of them are struggling to return to work but do not qualify for disability benefits.

communist New Zealand being all alarmist scaremonger again
Public health experts are urging the government to protect people from Long Covid, which they say could have already affected a quarter of a million New Zealanders. A new Public Health Communication Centre briefing out on Thursday says the government must develop and implement a Long Covid strategy. Massey University public health research Professor John Potter said the risk of Long Covid after an Omicron infection remained about 10 percent, and sufferers could be mildly impaired to severely disabled. The briefing also says Long Covid can also lead to a ‘substantially increased’ risk of sudden death and ‘silent’ damage to cells and organs which can lead to later illness. “Certainly the silent organ damage is a real problem, we think, for future development of disease. When you’re young and healthy, you can take a certain amount of damage to the system without it showing up.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention intend to do a large study to examine a possible connection between autism and childhood vaccines, in spite of there being a substantial body of research showing that vaccines and autism are not linked. By revisiting debunked theories that connect autism to the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine, this could undermine the public’s confidence and lead to further vaccine hesitancy.
More than a quarter century ago, s small study by a (former) gastroenterologist Andrew Wakefield and colleagues suggested a link between the MMR vaccine —used to protect children from a variety of serious or potentially fatal diseases—and autism spectrum disorder, a condition related to abnormal brain development that causes problems in social interaction and communication.
Wakefield et al.’s paper in The Lancet described 12 children who had intestinal abnormalities after receiving the MMR vaccination. For eight of the 12 children, parents linked the onset of behavioral symptoms to the vaccine. Wakefield and co-authors hypothesized that intestinal inflammation after the MMR vaccine released gut proteins that eventually migrated to the brain, causing damage that was reflected in autism symptoms.
The study was reviewed further and retracted. It was a report of eight children who had developed signs and symptoms of autism within a month of receiving the MMR vaccine. With such a small sample and no control group there was no way of knowing whether autism was occurring at a level greater than would be expected by chance alone.
In addition to the retraction, Wakefield’s medical license was revoked due to falsified information.
Since then, numerous peer-reviewed studies have debunked a connection between autism and the MMR vaccine. A group of London-based researchers in 1999 found no epidemiological evidence for a causal association between autism and the MMR vaccine. And that conclusion has played out repeatedly in studies published in subsequent years. Perhaps the largest of its kind was a retrospective analysis that appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2002. It involved 537,000 Danish children and showed the risk of autism diagnosis was similar between those who received the MMR vaccine and those who did not. Additionally, the Journal of the American Medical Association published a study in 2015 that included an analysis of the health records of more than 95,000 children. Roughly 2,000 of those children were classified as at risk for autism because they had a sibling already diagnosed with autism. The study confirmed that the MMR vaccine did not increase the risk for autism spectrum disorder.
The existence of all this evidence raises the question why the CDC now wants to carry out another study. Asked for comment, the CDC did not immediately reply. But perhaps we can surmise why by assessing the views of the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and the CDC director nominee, David Weldon, both of whom have repeatedly raised questions about the safety of MMR vaccines. If confirmed, Weldon would reinforce the vaccine-skeptic agenda that RFK Jr. is likely to pursue.
Weldon stirred controversy when he insinuated a link between the MMR shot and autism, citing the debunked theory put forward by Wakefield.
Such vaccine-skeptic views are a cause for concern in the public health community, the Guardian says. The messaging alone can fuel an uptick in childhood vaccine hesitancy. To illustrate, in the United Kingdom vaccinations took a considerable dip in the early 2000s after Wakefield’ false claims of a link between the MMR shot and autism were posted in the media.
Long after his work was exposed as fraudulent, Wakefield left a legacy of harm that persists even today, Vaccine hesitancy is rising again in the United States. Faltering vaccine coverage has contributed to the current outbreak in Texas and New Mexico.
Mass vaccination programs with single or combination shots began in the 1960s and quickly suppressed the spread of measles in most developed countries, including the U.S. which had declared measles eradicated in 2000. Moreover, the measles vaccine is “sterilizing,” which means it not only prevents illness, but also transmission. The World Health Organization estimates that worldwide immunization efforts targeting measles and other communicable diseases have saved at least 154 million lives over the past 50 years.
Ostensibly, Elon Musks’ Department of Government Efficiency aims to eliminate waste at agencies such as CDC. Cuts have already wreaked havoc at CDC and throughout other entities within HHS. Yet it would seem wasteful to have CDC spend money on a large study to prove something that has been demonstrated over and over again. Couldn’t these resources be used far more wisely elsewhere? Like, for instance, on studies to examine vaccine hesitancy and how to boost immunization coverage.

Burn pits were used by the United States military to dispose of rubbish including chemicals, plastics, rubber, munitions and human and medical waste. Former US president Joe Biden has long speculated his son’s fatal brain cancer was caused by exposure to fumes from burn pits. Now there are concerns Australian soldiers have been affected, in a toxic legacy of those conflicts. “We never really talked about it, never really considered, I guess, the long-term health impacts. We just got on with the job,” he said.
how could any modern military not know that burning all kinds of arbitrary shit then breathing it in would be fucking risky shit, it’s like the idiocy of that engineered stone fresco fiasco, just wear a damn P2 mask

Next-generation, inhaled COVID-19 vaccine enters phase-2 clinical trial
Researchers at McMaster University have started a phase-2 clinical trial on a next-generation, inhaled COVID-19 vaccine.
The AeroVax study, supported by $8M in funding from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), will test needle-free vaccines developed to provide protection from SARS-CoV-2.
Led by Fiona Smaill and Zhou Xing, members of the Michael G. DeGroote Institute for Infectious Disease Research (IIDR) at McMaster, the multi-centre trial will evaluate the new vaccine in a broad study group, while also confirming safety.
Findings from pre-clinical studies and the soon-to-be-published data from the phase-1 trial indicate that McMaster’s inhaled vaccine is more effective at inducing immune responses than traditional injected vaccines are, because it directly targets the lungs and upper airways — where the virus first enters the body.

The Trump administration is withdrawing the nomination of Dr. David Weldon, a former Florida congressman and anti-vaccine advocate, for director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The announcement came about an hour before Weldon was scheduled to testify Thursday before the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. A person familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity told The Associated Press that the administration pulled Weldon’s nomination once it became clear that he did not have the votes to advance. The committee later cancelled the hearing. Axios first reported the trouble facing Weldon’s nomination.
During his time in Congress from 1995-2009, Weldon expressed unfounded concerns that a mercury-based preservative in vaccines called thimerosal might be linked to autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders. Repeated research and scientific study have found no evidence of a link between vaccines and autism or other neurodevelopmental disorders. Thimerosal was removed or reduced in most vaccines in the U.S. starting in 2001.

Early in my optometry career soft contact lens disinfecting solutions had thimerosal as a preservative. After some time it was worked out that it caused irritation to eyes and was replaced with other preservatives.

On Wednesday, a woman gave birth in a Lubbock, Texas, hospital in the middle of a deadly and fast-growing measles outbreak. Doctors didn’t realize until the young mother had been admitted and in labor that she was infected with the measles. By that time, other new moms, newborn babies and their families at University Medical Center Children’s Hospital in Lubbock had unknowingly been exposed to the virus, considered one of the most contagious in the world. Hospital staff are scrambling with damage control efforts — implementing emergency masking policies and giving babies as young as three days old injections of immunoglobulin, an antibody that helps their fragile immune system fight off infections.

To holistically describe long-COVID symptoms and identify risk factors for post-infection neurocognitive and emotional problems, University of Regensburg researchers analyzed clinical data from COVID-19 survivors aged 12 to 17 years who had symptoms for at least 4 weeks. The average patient age was 12.5 years, 61.2% were girls, and the average interval from infection to examination was 5.7 months.
Most children had elevated levels of fatigue (82.4%), loss of motivation (72.9%), impaired concentration and attention (71.8%), and worsened mood (53%), and 31.8% reported more anxiety. The most common diagnoses were post-COVID adjustment disorder (38.8%) and post-COVID attention-deficit disorder (23.5%). Disturbances in attention and memory, drive and psychomotor activity, affect, circadian disturbances, and worries and compulsions were common. The psychopathological examination resulted in 83.5% of patients being rated as abnormal, therefore clearly surmounting the point prevalence of mental illness among children and adolescents (15%). Over half of the adolescents (54.2%) were strongly advised to undergo further psychiatric assessment, 30.2% were urged to undergo further diagnostic testing, and 12.5% were told to seek other help, such as psychotherapy, further somatic assessment, weight control, and specialized diagnostics for chronic fatigue syndrome or occupational therapy. Few (3.1%) received no recommendations. In total, 14.1% of participants received no psychiatric diagnosis, while 8.3% had a psychiatric diagnosis unrelated to COVID-19, and 56.5% had a confirmed and 21.1% had a suspected post-COVID psychiatric diagnosis, respectively.

Next-generation, inhaled COVID-19 vaccine enters phase-2 clinical trial
Researchers at McMaster University have started a phase-2 clinical trial on a next-generation, inhaled COVID-19 vaccine.
The AeroVax study, supported by $8M in funding from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), will test needle-free vaccines developed to provide protection from SARS-CoV-2.
Led by Fiona Smaill and Zhou Xing, members of the Michael G. DeGroote Institute for Infectious Disease Research (IIDR) at McMaster, the multi-centre trial will evaluate the new vaccine in a broad study group, while also confirming safety.
Findings from pre-clinical studies and the soon-to-be-published data from the phase-1 trial indicate that McMaster’s inhaled vaccine is more effective at inducing immune responses than traditional injected vaccines are, because it directly targets the lungs and upper airways — where the virus first enters the body.
I got an invitation to participate, but since I’ve had a significant respiratory illness within the past 12 months I’m ineligible.
Hi DA,
We have begun a clinical trial evaluating a potential new combination vaccine for respiratory illnesses.
If you are aged 18 to 49 years, are in good general health and do not have any significant medical conditions, you may be eligible to participate in the trial of investigational RSV/hMPV/PIV3 vaccines, and investigational influenza vaccines.
Respiratory illnesses such as influenza, RSV, hMPV, and PIV3 are highly contagious and peaking during colder months. Influenza can lead to fever, fatigue, and severe complications like pneumonia, requiring new vaccines annually to match evolving strains. RSV, hMPV, and PIV3 often impact children and older adults, causing breathing difficulties and, in severe cases, hospitalisations. While flu vaccines and a new RSV vaccine for adults over 60 are available, there are no vaccines for hMPV or PIV3, highlighting an important gap that clinical trials seek to address.
We are seeking applications from people who:
are aged between 18 and 49 years
are in good general health and do not have any significant medical conditions
have a body mass index (BMI) below 40
do not have a history of Influenza and/or RSV and/or hMPV and/or PIV3-associated illness, diagnosed in the last 12 months
can attend 5 visits within a period of 6 weeks at our Morayfield clinic in Moreton Bay and 1 phone call around 5 months after.

Indoor air quality monitors have been provided for children with asthma or infant wheeze in an initiative in two towns. The Healthy Air for Healthy Lungs programme focuses on households with children aged two to 10 who have respiratory conditions. St Helens Council said it was having a “dramatic” impact on children’s health. Director of Public Health Ruth du Plessis said: “Early feedback and data have been really promising, showing us that families are adopting air quality improvements.” They were “being more mindful of how they cook, clean, heat and ventilate their homes”, she said. “It’s clearly having a dramatic and positive impact on the health of young children, with reduced need for inhalers and fewer hospital visits recorded by parents and guardians.” A total of 150 monitors have been given out in St Helens, with a waiting list for new applications.
