In a stupid move, the UK has massively restricted access to Covid vaccines in this season.

The dog and the smiling couple are not eligible, in all likelihood.

Eine jüdische Ministerin zur Auswanderung auffordern und sich gleichzeitig als Kämpfer gegen Antisemitismus aufspielen: „Gutes“ Beispiel dafür, wie Rechtsextreme Antisemitismus nur instrumentalisieren, um Rassismus auszuleben. Keine Spur echter Solidarität mit jüdischen Menschen.

Before Pakistan's HPV vaccine rollout began last month, social media was buzzing with concern:

❌ "Why only girls?"

❌ "Will it cause infertility?"

❌ "Why is it free?"

Here's how 9 million vaccinations still happened despite the noise. 👇🧵

Researchers have applied serial biopsies to safely monitor glioblastoma progression and responses to immunotherapy in two patients, capturing details that are invisible to standard-of-care MRI.

Now you see me; now you don’t

Multiomics on serial glioblastoma biopsies can enable differentiation of pseudoprogression from true tumor progression (see Ling et al.).

In our recommendations to the UK COVID Inquiry
we call for a nationwide public awareness campaign to explain clearly that Long Covid in children is a debilitating and potentially disabling long-term condition.
