Great to see two papers out that show the benefits of RSV vaccination (monoclonal treatment) to prevent severe RSV infection. A quick thread to unpick what these vaccines are as there are 2 quite different products in clinical use and it can be confusing what the terminology means. #HealthPolicy 🧵

Today is International Day to End Conversion Therapy (aka #IDECT).
Conversion practices are ineffective, unscientific and cause actual harm.
Governments since 2017 have promised to bring forward a ban - but we’re still waiting.
Keep the pressure on.
Get all LGBTQ conversion practices banned in 2026.

#PrEP prevents HIV acquisition.
110,000 people are currently on it in England but some communities (black women, people in rural communities) are underserved.
To end the epidemic, all must have access.
Getting PrEP into pharmacies would make it easier for many.
This is the urgent goal for 2026.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have shown Alzheimer’s disease can be REVERSED- not just prevented. Using a potent neuroprotective compound called P7C3-A20, they found RESTORING balance to a central cellular energy molecule (NAD+) not only PREVENTED disease features but REVERSED them, EVEN at late stages.

ACIP has posted a draft agenda for their upcoming meeting on 12/4 and 12/5.
Alarm bells are blaring. They are going to spend the entire first day talking about the vaccine schedule.
There is no evidence whatsoever that there is any danger whatsoever with the current vaccine schedule.
