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.”

- COVID-19 infection with subsequent lymphopenia increases the risk of distant recurrence by 2.46 times.
- Patients who contracted COVID-19 but did not develop lymphopenia experienced no significant increase in recurrence risk.
- Baseline lymphopenia resulting from cancer treatment is an independent predictor of recurrence, and COVID-related lymphopenia adds additional risk.
- Viral infection can trigger a cytokine storm that leads to T cell exhaustion and decreased immune surveillance against cancer cells.

The death of Public Health in Australia is so sad.

The Covid pandemic brought out a lot of sentiment I did not know the general public held. Those sentiments have somewhat strengthened and given rise to even more disinformation.
People still think a sniffle is the flu, flu isn’t that bad, and with enough drugs you can “soldier on”.
Last week I had one side of my sinuses completely blocked, leading to sinus headache, vestibular disturbances, and just feeling generally shitty.

A sniffle is definitely not the flu, and folks don’t know.
65% of Queenslanders are reading and writing at a 5th Grade level. 
I learnt that when I studied to be a teacher. The Queensland government deliberately pitch their websites at a 3rd Grade level in order to reach the most Queenslanders.
I find it very sad. Folks are stuck in concrete thinking, and they don’t have the capacity for abstract thinking or critical analysis.
Intergenerational trauma means a lot of kids are in fight, flight, freeze, fawn or fragment.
1 in 3 Australian women live with domestic violence.
1 in 3 girls experience child rape.
1 in 4 boys experience child rape.

And they keep changing the curriculum, which is ridiculous. I learnt across three curriculums when I did my teaching degree. The teachers are seriously burnt out by the changes in curriculum, the waste of time NAPLAN is, (it is a $3 billion dollar industry now, so we won’t get rid of it), the mountains of paperwork, and going to ridiculous Professional Development, that is beyond a joke. There is no point learning, for three hours, about a speech pathologist to help kids with language delays if they are only going to visit your school once per year. It is all busy work for no purpose.

What freaked me out a bit, was how Biden didn’t put in place the protections for Bird Flu. He didn’t provide PPEs for those working on farms, He didn’t do ring vaccinations. He didn’t ramp up testing (folks were quitting because of the stress of trying to keep up with demand). He didn’t mandate disposal of the infected bodies. He didn’t do anything to contain it. I did trainning for Bird Flu when I worked with the big birds. In the end I couldn’t do seabird rescues and work with the bigger birds. We were shown a documentary which showed the authorities literally wrapping the infected person’s house with plastic and they shut down all rest of the local suburb. The concern of it becoming person to person contact was so high. So you would think after Covid, that more action would be taken. Biden’s lack of action was so shocking to me. It is all laid out in their Pandemic Handbook.
And the same with Covid. Biden wasn’t doing public health campaigns; schools are closing but that is not making it into the MSM. Though babies 6 months and over can get vaccinated, and the last time I looked that is not available in
Australia.
Before Biden left office, with some Blue states reporting over 1,000 Covid deaths per week and some Red states were not reporting before Trump took office. There is no way of knowing which states are having the highest death rates or what variant is spreading now. It is very concerning. But folks talk about a nurse walked out of their shift and they didn’t come back because of their overwhelm of a Covid surge.
There’s no way of really knowing what is going on.
One of my friends works in a Taiwanese hospital. They are tested between floors, even whilst masking. Every employee wears masks and are involved in meetings for best practice. The cleaners are involved in those meetings so every community working in the hospital has a chance to contribute. Their elderly folks are getting a new booster every three months.
I dropped the ball. I didn’t realise there was a new Covid vaccine 6 months ago or I would have taken it immediately.
The whole thing of Biden and Bird Flu, when Covid is spreading across America really did my head in.

Brain scans are revealing early dementia-like changes in kids and teens from heavy screen use. 60 Minutes Australia reported toddlers spending just 2–3 hours daily on devices already show abnormal white matter development. Teens averaging 6–8 hours display widened brain ridges and thinning in key areas — patterns that mirror early Alzheimer’s. Excessive screens appear to weaken neural pathways that normally strengthen through real-world movement, play, and face-to-face interaction. We’re also seeing the first IQ drops in recorded history, plus a nearly 400% rise in early-onset dementia signs among 35–44 year olds. Correlation, not proven causation — but devices are the major new variable.

A KLM flight attendant from Haarlem has been hospitalized due to a possible hantavirus infection. She came into contact with the 69-year-old Dutch woman who died of the virus in Johannesburg, South Africa. The flight attendant is in isolation at Amsterdam UMC with mild symptoms. She is currently being tested for the hantavirus, the Ministry of Public Health confirmed to RTL Nieuws. The Dutch woman died of the hantavirus in a hospital in Johannesburg on April 26. A day earlier, she had been on board a KLM plane at the O.R. Tambo International Airport for a “short period” before KLM staff asked her to disembark because she was sick.

A day earlier, she had been on board a KLM plane at the O.R. Tambo International Airport for a “short period” before KLM staff asked her to disembark because she was sick.

A reported 400% rise in early-onset dementia diagnoses among 35–45 year olds in Australia.
Neuroscientist Dr. Mark Williams linked it on 9 News Australia to sharply increased daily screen time. He also noted the first generational decline in intelligence levels in history, partly blamed on modern device habits.
The brain is highly plastic. Research shows that reducing constant screen stimulation and increasing deep focus activities (reading, real conversations, etc.) can strengthen attention, memory, and cognitive reserve.
Williams says simple changes — more time with people, reading books, and less scrolling — can help support brain health.
Our everyday tech habits may be shaping long-term brain health more than we realize.
Many people report noticeably better focus and mental clarity when they cut back on screens.
What do you think — have you noticed any difference in your thinking or memory with heavier screen use, or do you think this connection needs more research?
>reducing constant screen stimulation and increasing deep focus activities (reading, real conversations, etc.)

All individuals considered contacts—those who were on the ship between April 1 and May 10 or who had contact with a confirmed case—must undergo mandatory quarantine at the Gómez Ulla Central Defense Hospital in Madrid. Passengers will remain in individual rooms without visitors. During this period, they will undergo a PCR test upon arrival and another seven days later. Active surveillance will also be conducted, including twice-daily temperature checks to detect any compatible symptoms early.

New Mexico leads the USA in hantavirus cases. It’s been amusing seeing some memes from New Mexicans about this latest drama.
Hantavirus informationfrom NM Health
Well, there you go. I’ve seen the headlines etc, and knew the person-to-person difference, but I wasn’t aware of the role that NM has had. Huh, 1993.
I was made aware of it when mr kii discovered rat traps in the house we bought, then the dessicated rat carcass in the control panel of the stove that came with the house. Every time we cleaned out the storeroom/laundry we were very careful about the dust etc, it was not completely sealed to the weather as it was designed to let air circulate and flood waters to flow through…don’t ask.
Sadly, the advent of FOGO may lead to a decline in the habitats of these beautiful creatures and of course of the birds themselves.

Biden did a similar thing with Bird Flu. He didn’t put any of the things into place, from their Pandemic Handbook. I couldn’t believe it. The Pandemic Handbook was extensive and detailed. He didn’t do ring vaccinations, give out PPEs for those working with affected animals, didn’t proscribe the management and disposal of dead carcasses, didn’t ramp up testing and the other simple things to prevent the spread of the Bird Flu. It was staggering.

Think its made up or real but more about implementing the ability to track people via apps and such.
The vaccines have nefarious purposes like mind control or making people docile
Perhaps its real but government makes mistakes and some reactions to vaccines occur because it’s a genetic lottery and some variations react badly.

I don’t know. As Biden hadn’t put the proper monitoring in place it might be a long time before any one knows what happened or what is happening.
When Trump came in some of the MSM reported it as a Trump problem, some of the epidemiologists, doctors and friends on X/Twitter caned them pointing out Biden shit the bed.
The main reason it was in their Pandemic Handbook was to be monitored was to keep track of transmission.
At the point it becomes human to human transmission all stops need to be pulled out.
The only reason I knew so much about it was I did the Bird Flu training when I was caring for the bigger birds. In the end, I pulled out of seabird rescue and migratory species.
There is a reporting system at the time which was for virologists. Now with Biden failing and the closing down of the CDC. Well there is no data to follow.
We saw a documentary where they literally wrapped a house, with an infected person inside, with plastic and shut the whole suburb down.
Pre Covid that seemed like a big deal. There was a strict medication and testing regime. I can’t remember how many days they had to come back negative now.
I was so shocked when Biden didn’t follow the protocols which would been much, much better than the training that I received.

ms spock said:Biden did a similar thing with Bird Flu. He didn’t put any of the things into place, from their Pandemic Handbook. I couldn’t believe it. The Pandemic Handbook was extensive and detailed. He didn’t do ring vaccinations, give out PPEs for those working with affected animals, didn’t proscribe the management and disposal of dead carcasses, didn’t ramp up testing and the other simple things to prevent the spread of the Bird Flu. It was staggering.
Did this lead to many deaths?

Do you think school children are naïve in regards to exploitation by influencers, media companies, etc to manipulate them as consumers
Or do they see through it and follow it as some of its interesting.
I mean we all use the internet and the amount of crap dressed up professionally as fact is enormous and I assume most of us are somewhat cynical in trusting it.
In the context of primary school children, the latest fad is still 6-7 although that is dying (thankfully). I’ve met kids whose career aspirations are making TikTok dance videos like their older sibling/cousin.
They have no critical skills regarding what’s real or fake on social media, however studies show that at young primary age, kids also can’t tell the difference between a regular television commercial and a TV show. Most kids’ shows, ever since the early 1980s, were created to sell toys i.e. the toys came before the TV show. Combine that with real people on social media spruiking some rubbish, and kids today have no chance in discerning reality.

ensitrelvir, is made by the Japanese pharmaceutical company Shionogi. It blocks an enzyme that coronaviruses need to make new copies of themselves, hitting the same target as one of the two active ingredients in Pfizer’s antiviral Paxlovid. But whereas that ingredient, nirmatrelvir, failed to prevent household infections in trials2, ensitrelvir has come through. In an international study of more than 2,000 household contacts conducted from June 2023 to September 2024, about 9% of people who received a placebo within 72 hours of a housemate developing symptoms became symptomatic themselves, compared with only about 3% of those who got a five-day course of ensitrelvir. Rates of viral transmission were lower in the ensitrelvir group, too: confirmed infections, symptomatic or not, turned up in only 14.0% of those who received the drug, compared with 21.5% of those who got a placebo. The therapy generally proved tolerable

Fatu Kekula is a Liberian woman who was a nursing student during the Ebola virus epidemic in Liberia. Four of her family members became ill and could not access medical care in a hospital. She improvised a “trash bag method” that would allow her to care for her family members without becoming ill herself. Three of her family members survived the epidemic, and Kekula herself did not contract the virus. The trash bag method has been recognized as a relatively simple and accessible way for people to protect themselves in an epidemic if they cannot get treatment in a hospital.
I know this doesn’t help but I remember reading about this woman and being amazed.

Yet health workers were able to follow up with only 342 contacts that day – about 21% of the total under monitoring – according to ministry data released Friday. The Congolese government reported a positivity rate of almost 46%, suggesting many infections may still be going undetected.

Six people who were on a cruise ship that was hit by an outbreak of hantavirus have had their quarantine period in the outer Perth suburb of Bullsbrook extended until June 23. The four Australian citizens, one permanent resident and one New Zealand citizen arrived at the Centre for National Resilience in Bullsbrook on May 15. Federal Health Minister Mark Butler said the decision to extend their quarantine period was made based on advice from health authorities after another two passengers, from Spain and the Netherlands, tested positive for the deadly infection.
“Over the last few days there have been two additional reports of hantavirus infections connected with this cruise ship on the weekend,” Mr Butler said. “It would be appropriate for that quarantine arrangement to remain in place for the rest of the 42-day incubation period to June 23.” The six people had been due to end quarantine on June 5.

Would it be possible to screen the bees before they were put in a bee aviary? It would be self contained.
One metthod which can be used but only during dry conditions is a sugar roll. It coats the bees with sugar and causes the mites to fall off and out a trap to be counted and destroyed.

Artificial intelligence has been used to develop a “fundamentally new” type of vaccine that could protect against large swathes of viruses and prevent pandemics, say researchers.
The team at the University of Cambridge say it is the first time a vaccine’s key component has been designed entirely by AI and then trialled in people.
The vaccine was engineered to work on all coronaviruses which would include all Covid variants and viruses that infect animals, but could start the next pandemic.
The work is still in the early stages, but the team is already developing separate vaccines that could tackle flu and Ebola.
The Cambridge researchers took known genetic codes – the instruction manuals of life – from a range of coronaviruses that had been recorded by surveillance programmes hunting for potential viral threats.
These genetic codes were analysed by an artificial intelligence. It then designed a “super-antigen” that could train the immune system in such a way it gave protection against the whole family of viruses – even if they mutated or a new infection jumped from animals to people.
Antigens are the critical components of vaccines as this is what the immune system learns to attack.
Heeney said this was the first time an antigen designed by AI had been trialled in people. He said the technology was “surprising all of us” and it was “amazing what we can do with it for the good of humanity”.
Heeney told BBC News: “This is about making vaccines that protect us, not just from today’s viruses, but protect us from what can cause the next outbreak or disease.
“This is a fundamental shift in how we prepare for pandemics.”

‘World-first’ vaccine designed by artificial intelligence.

Artificial intelligence has been used to develop a “fundamentally new” type of vaccine that could protect against large swathes of viruses and prevent pandemics, say researchers.
The team at the University of Cambridge say it is the first time a vaccine’s key component has been designed entirely by AI and then trialled in people.
The vaccine was engineered to work on all coronaviruses which would include all Covid variants and viruses that infect animals, but could start the next pandemic.
The work is still in the early stages, but the team is already developing separate vaccines that could tackle flu and Ebola.
Vaccines teach our bodies how to spot an infection to increase our chances of fighting it off.
But some viruses are adept at changing their appearance – or mutating – so vaccines can quickly go out of date. It’s why Covid and winter flu vaccines need to be regularly updated.
“We’re always behind,” said Prof Jonathan Heeney, from the University of Cambridge, adding “what we’re trying to do is get ahead of the curve” and so far ahead they could protect against new outbreaks or pandemics.
How does it work?
Normally vaccines are designed using a current strain of a virus.
The Cambridge researchers took known genetic codes – the instruction manuals of life – from a range of coronaviruses that had been recorded by surveillance programmes hunting for potential viral threats.
These genetic codes were analysed by an artificial intelligence. It then designed a “super-antigen” that could train the immune system in such a way it gave protection against the whole family of viruses – even if they mutated or a new infection jumped from animals to people.
Antigens are the critical components of vaccines as this is what the immune system learns to attack.
Heeney said this was the first time an antigen designed by AI had been trialled in people. He said the technology was “surprising all of us” and it was “amazing what we can do with it for the good of humanity”.
Heeney told BBC News: “This is about making vaccines that protect us, not just from today’s viruses, but protect us from what can cause the next outbreak or disease.
“This is a fundamental shift in how we prepare for pandemics.”
The trials, in 39 people, were designed to assess if such vaccines were safe. A second study – involving around 200 people – will give a greater understanding of how well it is training the immune system.
The findings detailed in the Journal of Infection, external said the impact on the immune system was “modest”, but they are still generating excitement.
Prof Saul Faust, who performed some of the trials at the University of Southampton, said the AI design “definitely has potential” and was “really exciting”.
He told the BBC: “What’s really interesting is the technology is an awful lot better at designing vaccines for potential pandemics when viruses are changing.”
The Cambridge team are already performing animal research on universal seasonal flu vaccines that would not need to be adapted every year and an H5N1-bird flu vaccine, in case the virus that is currently devastating bird populations became a human pandemic.
They are also looking at a vaccine for viral haemorrhagic fevers, which would include Ebola species. The current outbreak in the Democratic Republic Congo is being caused by a species that does not have a vaccine developed for it yet.
Prof Andy Pollard, the director of the Oxford Vaccine Group, was not involved in the study, but said this approach was generating compelling evidence in animal research.
“It’s fascinating data and people wouldn’t have predicted they’d be able to generate these immune responses,” he told BBC News.
The real test, he says, is what happens in the human trials as our immune systems are different to laboratory mice as ours have been shaped by years of infections.
More broadly he said artificial intelligence was going to be a “game changer” for vaccine research and that AI tools had the potential to predict how the immune system respond would respond to a vaccine making development much faster and would “save lives”.
Prof Marian Knight, scientific director for National Institute for Health and Care Research, said: “The remarkable success of this AI-designed ‘super-antigen’ trial marks a pivotal leap forward in our ability to deliver broad, lasting viral protection.”

If you’ve had chicken pox you should seriously consider the shingles vaccine.
IIRC, you are likely to be permanently immune if you have had measles.

Thank Mr V.
I did get the shingles vaccine three or four years before 2020.
I have had Shingles once and I wasn’t waiting until I was a sprightly 70 to get the Shingles vaccination.
I thought that measles, if you had no immunity, could cause serious problems. Like erasing your ability to fight infections your body has fought off

Dutch explorers led by Willem de Vlamingh became the first Europeans to see black swans, in Australia. The term subsequently metamorphosed to connote the idea that a perceived impossibility might later be disproved. Taleb notes that in the 19th century, John Stuart Mill used the black swan logical fallacy as a new term to identify falsification. Black swan events were discussed by Taleb in his 2001 book Fooled By Randomness, which concerned financial events. His 2007 book The Black Swan extended the metaphor to events outside financial markets.

News South Wales has detected its first suspected case of H5 bird flu as another migratory bird in Western Australia has also tested positive. Samples were taken from a giant petrel near Hawks Nest on the NSW Mid North Coast that tested positive for the strain of influenza in preliminary testing. Another case of the infection is believed to have been identified in WA, with authorities confirming a suspected case in a dead giant petrel found near Mullaloo, in Perth’s north.

Here’s some research based on
Consequences of traumatic brain injury in professional American football players: a systematic review of the literature
Bodil C Vos, Karen Nieuwenhuijsen, Judith K Sluiter
Clinical journal of sport medicine 28 (2), 91-99, 2018
Objective:
The purpose of this study was to systematically review the literature for the consequences Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has on cognitive, psychological, physical, and sports-related functioning in professional American Football players.
Data Sources:
We performed a systematic search in 2 databases, PubMed and SPORTDiscus, to obtain literature from January 1990 to January 2015. To be eligible for inclusion, a study had to examine the relationship between TBI and the consequences for several aspects of functioning in professional American football players older than 18 years. Methodological quality was assessed using a 5-item checklist which assessed selection bias, information bias, and correct reporting of the population and exposure characteristics.
Main Results:
The search yielded 21 studies that met our inclusion criteria. An evidence synthesis was performed on the extracted data and resulted in 5 levels of evidence. The evidence synthesis revealed that there is strong evidence that concussions are associated with late-life depression and short-term physical dysfunctions. Evidence for the relationship between concussion and impaired sports-related function, prolonged reaction time, memory impairment, and visual-motor speed was inconclusive. Moderate evidence was found for the association between TBI and mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and limited evidence was found for the association between TBI and executive dysfunction.
Conclusions:
There is strong evidence that a history of concussion in American football players is associated with depression later in life and short-term physical dysfunctions. Also cognitive dysfunctions such as MCI are seen in older players with a history of TBI. These results provide input for actions to prevent TBI and their consequences in (retired) American football players.
Not the article I was thinking of. I will have a look.
Climate Change combined with pandemics.

“Unfortunately, because we’re just local amateur sports, we have to be able to use these facilities for multiple purposes, but the risk does come that there is quite a hard strip of surface in the middle of the ground where there’s a high -velocity, high-contact sport played on,” he said.

Excerpt from report: “the continuing burden of long COVID arises mainly from reduced labour participation and productivity losses, reflecting a broader macroeconomic impact rather than medical expenditure alone. Overall, in proportional terms, the projected 0.1-0.2% GDP loss from long COVID places it among the most economically significant chronic conditions in OECD and EU Member countries. Lastly, the estimates in this report probably understate the true burden of long COVID. The condition is likely to have wide-reaching consequences that are not yet fully understood. Beyond the core symptoms of long COVID, infection with SARS-CoV-2 increases the risk of developing a range of chronic conditions – including cardiovascular conditions, diabetes, neurological impairments and autoimmune disorders – which will add further pressure on health systems and increase costs in the years ahead….”
speaking of qalys
As an unforeseen consequence of the COVID‑19 pandemic, long COVID remains a challenge for patients, healthcare professionals and health systems alike. The health impact of this syndrome of persisting symptoms is debilitating for patients and reduces their quality of life. The socio-economic impact of long COVID encompasses absence from education and the workplace, reduced productivity, unemployment, and premature exit from the workforce. There is a need to ensure health and social care systems provide an integrated and supportive response for patients living with long COVID, in order to minimise reductions in quality of life for patients and productivity of OECD economies. This report estimates the projected disease burden of long COVID over the next decade, and the estimated economic impact on GDP for OECD and EU economies in terms of direct healthcare costs and the much larger indirect costs stemming from reduced productivity and employment. The policy survey reviews the initiatives and responses that are implemented or absent from EU and OECD countries, and the progress made in the recognition, diagnosis, management and support of patients living with long COVID. The report updates policymakers with the state of play on health policy for long COVID, five years after the COVID‑19 pandemic began, and identifies remaining gaps for health systems to address. Failing to detect and respond to long COVID leads to personal suffering, job loss and a high economic burden.

It’s not new, but the current outbreak is the largest recorded. Yes there is no vaccine. Previous outbreaks of this strain have been quite small and easily contained IIRC. Treatment is the same as other strains before the development of vaccine for the Zaire strain.
¿ easily contained ?

Copied from “Chat, July 2026” and put here where it should have been put initially, sorry.
Reading the Wikipedia article on Bundibugyo ebolavirus and it says it has been patented. How is that even allowed? Firstly, they didn’t invent it, and restricting other groups from researching it for vaccines and treatments is just wrong…

I read a paper about how Covid was changing the white matter in people’s brains and it was lessening their empathy. I have a friend of twenty years who I basically no longer recognise. She’s had Covid a few times. Prof Rains Macintyre shared it on Twitter /X.
I wonder how much this will effect the current students in primary school and high school students.

A Mighty Girl
On the morning polio took her, Martha Lillard woke to sunlight, went to sit up, and could not lift her head from the pillow. She was five years old, and it was June of 1953. Within four days she had lost consciousness, and when she came back she could not move her arms or her legs or draw a breath on her own — so a machine breathed for her instead, and it would go on breathing for her, in one form or another, for the next seventy-three years. Lillard died on June 26 at her home in Shawnee, Oklahoma, at the age of 78, the last American who still depended on an iron lung.
The vaccine was two years away. Jonas Salk’s was licensed in April of 1955, but Martha was infected in the summer of 1953, a year after the worst polio epidemic in American history, when some 58,000 people fell ill, more than 21,000 were paralyzed, and over 3,000 died. It was the disease that frightened American parents above all others, in part because no one could tell them where it came from. “All the mothers were just terrified because people were just getting it right and left,” she remembered. “They didn’t know if it was a virus or bacteria or how you caught it.”
For Martha, polio was devastating, and much of the damage was permanent. She was paralyzed from the neck down, and though therapy eventually restored the use of her legs and part of her left arm, her right arm never moved again.
In the early years she lived inside the iron lung almost entirely, leaving it only for an hour or two a day; it would be years before she could spend her days outside it and return only to sleep.She would recall the hospital wards of that era, rows of iron lungs with children inside them, and the storms that terrified everyone — because if the power failed, the machines had to be cranked by hand, and there were never enough nurses. The wait was interminable, she said, because during it you simply were not breathing.
“You just laid there and you could feel your heart beating and it was just terrifying.” Without air, the only sound a person can make is a click of the tongue, and so that dark room, full of children who could not call out, sounded to her like a barn full of clucking chickens.
The doctors told her family she would not live to see twenty, and she lived to seventy-eight, and she did not spend those years waiting. Her grandfather rebuilt the iron lung with a second motor so that she could open the hatch herself from the inside, which meant that from her teens onward she could get in and out of the machine alone — and so she lived alone, cooked her own meals, and for a time drove a car. Her family built a childhood around the machine, hauling it to Missouri in a custom trailer while her father telephoned hotels ahead of them to ask whether the doors were wide enough to admit it. “To me, it was just normal,” her younger sister, Cindy McVey, told the Associated Press.
Before she got sick, Martha had wanted to be a ballerina. It was her great wish, and she had started walking on her toes at the age of one. Afterward she painted, wrote poems, and composed music for the left hand; she volunteered at the Humane Society, at a daycare, and on a crisis line; she rescued dogs, and loved beagles above all. And the girl who had wanted to dance came to feel she had never entirely stopped. “I think now of my life as a ballet,” she said. “I have to balance so many things.”
Love arrived by an improbable road. After the attacks of September 11th she went online trying to understand what had happened, and in a chat room she met a man in Egypt named Baha Seleh. They talked for more than twenty years, and eventually he moved to Oklahoma to be with her. When a tornado cut the power to her iron lung, he breathed into her mouth until help arrived. They married this past February, four months before she died.
The last years were the hardest. She caught COVID twice and then developed long COVID, and a body already reduced to less than a quarter of its lung capacity had nothing to spare. For the final five years she could not leave the house, and for the final two she was inside the iron lung nearly around the clock.
The machine was failing as well — an antique running on parts no one had manufactured in decades, with almost no one left alive who knew how to fix it — and days before her death she let a local television reporter into her home because she was desperate to find someone who could. Over the years she had tried every modern ventilator that came along, and not one could reach the pressure she needed to breathe. “I tried all of them,” she said. She was never sentimental about the thing that kept her alive; she would rather, she said, not have needed it at all.
Polio has not spread in the United States since 1979, and Martha Lillard was among the last Americans who remembered it firsthand. But it has not been eradicated. It remains endemic in Afghanistan and Pakistan, the World Health Organization still classes it as a global emergency, and the virus has lately surfaced in wastewater in London and in Hamburg. Meanwhile American children are being vaccinated against it at a lower rate than at any point in more than a decade, and vaccine exemptions have reached an all-time high.
Martha knew what those numbers meant, and she said it broke her heart to meet people campaigning against vaccines. “I would just do anything,” she said, “to prevent somebody from having to go through what I have.” And then she said the thing that should be the last word on it: “I mean, my mother, if she had the vaccine available, I would have had it in a heartbeat.”

hot damn nobody could have foreseen this
During the pandemic, a new study suggests, many older adults were infected with COVID-19 around the time of their grandchildren’s birthdays, probably during parties or family gatherings.
no way
William Schaffner, MD, a professor of preventive medicine and infectious diseases at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, who wasn’t involved in the new study. “It’s absolutely fascinating.” A grandparent’s risk of infection was greater if the child celebrating a birthday was in preschool than if the grandchild was older. Grandparents were also at higher risk of developing COVID-19 if they were older than 67, the study showed.
astounding
But that doesn’t mean that kids were responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic. Adalja notes that adults, including parents’ friends and neighbors, often attend children’s birthday parties, too, especially when babies and toddlers are too young to have their own close friends.
¿ oh ¿ really ¿
One bright spot in the study: Celebrating a birthday with a grandchild did not increase an older adult’s risk of death.
ah well that’s all right then

HCW masking around patients and universal HCW masking reduces median patient nosocomial infections by 15% and 18%, respectively. HCW-HCW interactions are the dominant source of HCW infections and universal HCW masking reduces HCW nosocomial infections by 55%. Increasing adherence shows a roughly linear reduction in infections. Even in scenarios where a high proportion of interactions are unmasked “breakroom” interactions, masking is still an effective tool assuming adherence is high outside of these areas. The optimal scenarios where masking is most impactful are those where community prevalence is at a medium level (around 2%) and transmissibility is high.

Do you also object to private individuals donating to candidates to achieve political change in areas they deem important? There are set limits and FOI declarations to keep track of these things.

This is from Quora so it may be embellished or even made up but I’ll post in hope that it’s accurate:
…
A 42,000-year-old tree rewrote Earth’s history…
Workers excavating a site for the expansion of a geothermal power plant in Ngāwhā, New Zealand 🇳🇿, unearthed something no one expected. Buried under 26 feet of soil lay a kauri tree measuring eight feet in diameter and 65 feet in length. Carbon dating revealed it had lived for around 1,500 years, between 41,000 and 42,500 years ago.
So well preserved was the wood that the bark was still attached. Scientists immediately recognized its staggering potential. “There’s nothing like this anywhere in the world,” said Alan Hogg from the University of Waikato. “This Ngāwhā kauri is unique.”
Its rings offered an incredible 1,700-year record of Earth’s environmental conditions, precisely spanning the period of the Laschamps Excursion — the last complete reversal of Earth’s magnetic poles.
An international study using the ancient swamp kauri showed that a temporary breakdown of Earth’s magnetic field 42,000 years ago sparked major climate shifts leading to global environmental change and mass extinctions. During a period of about 500 years, the poles remained reversed, with a field strength that varied below 28 percent of today’s value.
With the dwindling of the magnetic field, Earth lost an important protective shield against cosmic radiation.
Researchers dubbed this episode the “Adams Transitional Geomagnetic Event,” a tribute to Douglas Adams, who wrote in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy that “42” was the answer to life, the universe, and everything.

The race is on to deal with a little-known cotton disease that has mysteriously arrived in northern Australia and is wreaking havoc on crops. Queensland Department of Primary Industries principal plant pathologist Linda Smith said there were few options to treat ramularia leaf spot, which was known by a number of names. “It’s also called areolate mildew, grey mildew, or false mildew, because it looks like a mildew, but it’s not a mildew,” she said. “It’s a fungal disease that loves hot, humid, wet tropical conditions, and when you get these conditions, you get disease outbreak.” Dr Smith said the disease was more commonly seen in the south-eastern United States and Brazil and appeared briefly in the Northern Territory decades ago.
from America then it’s mysterious but when other countries find it first it’s their fucking fault the bastards

The massive wildfires currently ravaging the French countryside are putting off massive clouds of smoke – a thick, potentially toxic miasma that has many residents of nearby metropolitan areas worried for their respiratory health. French pharmacies have noted a run on their supplies of face masks, particularly the FFP2 models that effectively filter small particulate matter. The government is rushing extra stocks to affected areas like the Bordeaux region and making them free of charge.

sorry so have we got this right, first they told us that it was too expensive to take preventative measures and contain incursions to stop a parasite from establishing here
Beekeepers are asking the federal government to expand access to organic treatments to manage the deadly varroa mite. Beekeepers in South Australia are pleading for increased access to organic treatments for varroa mite. The small, red mite is known as the “world’s worst” honey bee parasite and was first discovered in SA in September 2025. Mites feed and reproduce on honey bee larvae and pupae, leading to malformations. The call from beekeepers comes after a commercial almond grower in SA, who remains anonymous, reportedly forked out more than $2.3 million to have 7,500 healthy beehives transported from Western Australia to help pollinate crops.
and now we hear that it’s not too expensive for the government to expand access to organic treatments to manage it
