Such things exist. Some have existed for a long time, without human intervention.
Consider anthrax, consider plague (which is still around), consider ebola.
It’s not the existence of such biologicals that’s the problem, it’s only a question of effectively distributing them so as to outpace and overwhelm efforts to combat them.
Do that, and alles ist kaputt.

An emotional research team became tearful as they described how data shows the disease was slowed by 75% in patients. It means the decline you would normally expect in one year would take four years after treatment, giving patients decades of “good quality life”, Prof Sarah Tabrizi told BBC News. The new treatment is a type of gene therapy given during 12 to 18 hours of delicate brain surgery.
Results from the trial – which involved 29 patients – have been released in a statement by the company uniQure, but have not yet been published in full for review by other specialists. The data showed that three years after surgery there was an average 75% slowing of the disease based on a measure which combines cognition, motor function and the ability to manage in daily life. The data also shows the treatment is saving brain cells. Levels of neurofilaments in spinal fluid – a clear sign of brain cells dying – should have increased by a third if the disease continued to progress, but was actually lower than at the start of the trial. “This is the result we’ve been waiting for,” said Prof Ed Wild, consultant neurologist at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery at UCLH. “There was every chance that we would never see a result like this, so to be living in a world where we know this is not only possible, but the actual magnitude of the effect is breathtaking, it’s very difficult to fully encapsulate the emotion.”

hey guess what is 99% effective in keeping children from contracting respiratory illness by airborne route, even before they need a 1/3 to 3/4 effectiveness in keeping people out of hospital
In children it was found to be 72.8% effective in keeping them out of hospital once contracting Super-K, and for 18 to 64-year-olds 66.3% effective. Like most other viruses, however, the over-65 group took a sudden dive – 31.7% effective. The data showed the current influenza vaccination was still the best form of protection available against Super-K, Barr said.

Amazon has confirmed that it has had an outbreak of a ‘Victorian disease’ at one of its warehouses. The online retail behemoth said there were several cases of the condition, and said that a ‘screening programme’ was in progress, and was being done with ‘an abundance of caution’. They added that while this was going on, the site would continue to operate as normal, and they were following guidance from the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) and UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA). It has been confirmed that 10 people working at a warehouse in Coventry in the Midlands, where some 3,000 people are employed, had tested positive for the disease back in September. Following the outbreak, Amazon was faced with calls to send all staff at the affected warehouse home with full sick leave.

The UK has lost its measles elimination status, the World Health Organization has announced. The move was based on the spread of cases in 2024 when there were 3,600 suspected cases. Elimination status means there is no sustained transmission so this decision was largely expected, given the scale of the outbreaks in 2024.
There were more than 1,000 cases last year as well. The move is also a reflection of the fact vaccination rates are below the 95% threshold required to achieve herd immunity – when enough people in a community are vaccinated against a disease, making it hard for the pathogen to spread.

Pahoinvointia, oksennusta, ripulia ja usein matalaa kuumetta aiheuttava norovirus on kurittanut Suomen naisten jääkiekkomaajoukkuetta Milanon olympiaturnauksen alla. Naisleijonien oli määrä avata olympiaturnaus tänään torstaina Kanadaa vastaan, mutta ottelua päädyttiin siirtämään Suomen norokurimuksessa viikolla eteenpäin.
Ruotsin olympiakomitean joukkueenjohtaja Fredrik Joulamo kertoi keskiviikkona Aftonbladetin mukaan, että ainakin Ranskan ja Yhdysvaltojen joukkueissa olisi myös tartuntoja.
Pärmäkoski tuumii, että kisakylissä liikkuu runsaasti tauteja, kun paikalle tulee paljon urheilijoita eri puolilta maailmaa.
Val di Fiemmessä väreili kaikuja korona-ajoista, kun hiihtäjiä haastatelleen suomalaismedian kasvoja koristivat ennalta sovitusti maskit. Hengityssuojain oli myös joka hiihtäjällä, kun mediatilaisuus käynnistyi sisätiloissa.
At this year’s Games in Italy, to avoid the risk of illness, multiple cross-country ski teams are skipping the athletes’ village and staying at private hotels — with participants even restricting contact with their own family members and loved ones who have come to watch. The couple can spend unmasked time outdoors together, she said. But inside, “we are still going to be wearing masks,” she added. “He wants to protect my health too,” Diggins said. “We’ve been waiting for 10 years to have the rest of our lives together all the time and not worrying about sickness. We can wait.” “Our top priority is making sure our athletes and staff stay healthy for the entirety of the Games,” Bourne said. “It’s also great to have all of our team together in one place.” “We’re pretty locked down trying not to get sick,” he said. “But that’s okay — because we have six, seven of our best friends inside the bubble.” “We have closed our hotel. We don’t want outsiders in, and we don’t want infections to come in,” the doctor, Rickard Noberius, told the newspaper. “So, it’s just us and the family who run the hotel — and they have been given strict restrictions as well.”

Archana Koirala, a paediatrician and infectious diseases specialist from the National Centre for Immunisation Research and Surveillance, said COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns and social distancing rules were a factor in the 2024–25 spike.
“The bacteria is spread similarly to how viruses are spread, and so if you restrict people from coming into contact with each other, the bacteria is restricted in its spread as well,” she said.
“Immunised children didn’t get exposed to that usual kind of circulation … and so they didn’t get that immune boost.
“We saw a decline in coverage across Australia, and so what happens is that those who are vaccinated, their immunity waned … and a proportion didn’t get their vaccines in time.

In November last year Canada lost its measles elimination status after a sustained period of community transmission. The UK lost its just last week and the same declaration is expected for the United States later this month as the country battles a surge in infections, with cases increasing almost ten fold in a year. The vast majority of these cases were in unvaccinated children.
seems sus’ that they’re
still considered clean
Today, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed 66 new US measles infections, raising the country’s 2026 total to 982, while South Carolina’s 2025-26 outbreak grew by 11 cases, to 973 total. In its weekly update, the CDC said 976 of the US cases were in 26 states, while six are related to international travel. The agency also confirmed seven new outbreaks in 2026, compared with 49 that began in 2025. Of the 982 cases so far this year, 870 (89%) are tied to an outbreak, which the CDC defines as three or more related cases. The vast majority (92%) of those are tied to outbreaks that began in 2025 and have continued into this year. Last year, the country saw 2,281 measles cases, the most in several decades, but the United States is on track to easily surpass that later this year.
so yes things can improve so we should seek to improve them

“ doesn’t represent a risk to people’s safety, largely, provided people adhere to the SA Health advice,” Mr Malinauskas told a press conference the next week.
Professor Spurrier said she used the “precautionary principle” when she became aware of the detection of brevetoxins in sea foam at Henley Beach in late August.
It was not until early September, four months after the first brevetoxins were discovered, that the government finally changed its health advice. But the announcement was made in such a way that most, including local media, missed it.
ah yes that’s what the precautionary principle means
She requested “severe … human health effects” be replaced with “acute and self-limiting human health effects”, which means short-lived symptoms that don’t require treatment.
Professor Spurrier defended her edits, telling Four Corners the scientists’ paper didn’t reflect the evidence she was seeing. “This is what we’ve got from our GPs, from our hospitals. We live in South Australia; we know this. I know you come from Sydney.” That same month, the premier told ABC Radio listeners: “A lot of people refer to the algal bloom as ‘the toxic algal bloom’ … it’s not toxic.”
Pressed by Four Corners to say whether the algal bloom is toxic, Mr Malinauskas said the bloom did produce a brevetoxin. “And of course, by its nature, brevetoxin has toxicity and therefore is toxic. But it’s also true that the algae itself or elements of the algae aren’t toxic,” he said.

First man in the US to get COVID jab reveals side effects 6 years later
Neal Browning, one of the first people to test the COVID-19 Moderna mRNA vaccine, has taken to social media six years later to reflect on his experience and reveal the “side effects.”
The milestone traces back to March 16, 2020, when researchers at Kaiser Permanente Washington Health Research Institute in Seattle began a first-stage study of a vaccine candidate later known as mRNA‑1273, developed by the National Institutes of Health and Moderna.
Newsweek reached out to Neal Browning for comment.
The Seattle injections came at a moment of intense uncertainty—just days after the World Health Organization declared COVID‑19 a pandemic—and they marked an early step in the clinical-testing pathway that would eventually lead to widespread vaccination campaigns.
But the pandemic’s vaccine story also became deeply entangled with politics, public messaging and online misinformation, all of which contributed to growing suspicion and polarization around vaccination.
The trial would ultimately include 45 volunteers receiving two doses about a month apart, with the work focused first on safety and whether the shots could trigger an immune response.
False or exaggerated claims circulated online that COVID‑19 vaccines caused widespread deaths, severe injuries, or long‑term organ damage, often misusing raw adverse‑event reports or anecdotal accounts as proof of causation.
In 2021, Surgeon General Vivek Murthy said that social-media companies were not doing “enough” to prevent COVID-19 misinformation. It followed a feud between the Biden administration and Facebook over whether tech companies are responsible for hurting the nation’s vaccine rollout.
Mistrust was not driven only by false claims, though. Recent policy shifts and official statements also played a role. In 2025, the FDA required Pfizer and Moderna to expand warning language about myocarditis and pericarditis for COVID‑19 vaccines, particularly for males aged 12 to 24.
While experts stressed these side effects were already known and rare, critics argued the updated language appeared to contradict earlier Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) conclusions, creating public confusion.
Later in 2025, an internal FDA memo stated that at least 10 child deaths were “related” to COVID‑19 vaccination. The memo, which was not peer‑reviewed and did not publicly detail how conclusions were reached, was described by experts as lacking sufficient evidence to establish causation.
In October 2025, the CDC dropped its blanket recommendation that all Americans receive updated COVID‑19 vaccines, shifting instead to individual decision‑making after a vote by a newly appointed advisory panel backed by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
In a Threads post shared to mark the six‑year anniversary of the trial, Browning explained how he was “the first man on earth to test the first COVID‑19 mRNA vaccines.”
He added: “Yes you read this correctly, it was 6 years ago we had the Moderna mRNA vaccine trial beginning. It was the same one that eventually was approved and distributed globally starting in late December 2020 to Healthcare professionals.”
He went on share a tongue-in-cheek list of the side effects he experienced. Browning wrote: “Side effects were: Leading a healthy life, not getting long COVID, not needing hospitalization, or being on a respirator.”

They are absolutely terrifying side effects. Imagine that, a vaccine that actually works as tested.

Kinda stupid for rabies and mpox. Especially as rabies is endemic in some native mammal populations, and mpox is an expanding disease. Smallpox though? I’d be surprised if smallpox was ever tested for. I thought it had been eliminated from the entire world.
Anyway, if you don’t look for or test for a disease, you won’t find it, so it’s not there.
