Sad news for learners, infectious disease specialists and public health workers 💔

💪 #GoodImmunity starts with everyday choices.
New research shows that maintaining balanced micronutrient levels (vitamin D, zinc, selenium) helps regulate immune cell activity and reduces infection risk — especially in colder months. 🌿

@who.int’s new report shows the antibacterial R&D pipeline is shrinking — just 90 candidates remain in development, with limited innovation against critical pathogens.

Strengthening both discovery and access is key to tackling AMR.

💡Fantastic news for the future of #vaccines!

👉 One-shot vaccines for HIV and COVID

COVID-19 infection associated with increased risk of new-onset vascular dementia in older adults

Prior COVID-19 infection was associated with a 41% increased risk of all-cause dementia.

Did you know? 🧬
Your immune cells’ metabolic wiring (how they get energy) can make or break how well they fight infections.
Recent research reveals metabolic pathways (glycolysis, TCA cycle, etc.) actively regulate immune function—opening doors to new preventive tools.

More than pills and shots — your gut microbiome might be a hidden key to vaccine success. 🌿
Recent research shows gut bacteria affect how well our bodies respond to #vaccines.
Diet, probiotics, and microbiome health = new frontiers in prevention.

Of all the buzzwords this year, none spread faster than "superbugs"! Used in the titles or main public messaging by over half a dozen of major news stories & campaigns (Mar–Sep 2025). Catchy, but does it oversimplify AMR or mislead the public?

Share your thoughts on main drawback of this framing.

We have two vaccines that prevent cancer -- the HPV shot and the hepatitis B vaccine. Three hepatitis B vaccines prevent infection for life and liver cancer.

Why do some politicians -- and members of RFK's new vaccine committee -- want to take one of them away?

🦠 Can respiratory viruses like SARS-CoV-2 and influenza reactivate dormant cancer cells? Although widely regarded as a scientific breakthrough and despite firm conclusions, some emphasised that cancer survivors should not be alarmed yet. Read the latest blog post by @marcbonten.bsky.social

💪 Your daily choices shape your immunity.
Good sleep, balanced nutrition, regular movement, and stress care help your body fight infections naturally.
Healthy habits = a stronger shield.
