Aspiration before injection of vaccines

Thousands worldwide have taken ivermectin to fight Covid. But what's the evidence?

A new study co-led by Yale School of Public Health faculty has found that natural infection by the virus offers little long-term protection against reinfection.

It’s more evidence a lab leak is very unlikely.

Patients with COVID-19 who have been admitted to the intensive care unit are very likely to experience unusually persistent delirium, according to emerging research.

Hundreds of thousands of people may be infected annually by animals carrying coronaviruses related to the one that causes COVID-19 in China and Southeast Asia, according to a study emphasizing the ongoing pandemic threat from spillover events.

“We identified the probable ‘blood-to-brain pathway’ that can lead to Alzheimer’s disease, the most prevalent form of dementia globally,” said study’s senior author Professor John Mamo, director of the Curtin Health Innovation Research Institute at Curtin University.

Watch Lotti Tajouri explain how mobile phones are vectors for bacteria and viruses, why this is a problem in our hospitals, and how you can sanitise your phone to help stop the spread of disease.

In the debate over vaccine patents, a flawed logic is being used to justify putting profits above saving lives

This pro gram explores the bazaar damage done to taste and smell in long haulers.

Many long COVID sufferers are reporting having ‘brain fog’, where they can’t concentrate as well as they used to.

The cost of vaccinating the world against COVID-19 could be at least five times cheaper if pharmaceutical companies weren’t profiteering from their monopolies on COVID-19 vaccines

A  Virginia dad is chronicling his story of battling Covid-19 in a series of Facebook videos and says he made a mistake by not getting vaccinated. CNN's Brianna Keilar reports.

Breakthrough cases of COVID-19 are often milder — here's what's commonly experienced

Many factors influence our risk of illness from SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus responsible for COVID-19. That includes being careful to limit our possible exposures to the virus, as well as whether we have acquired immunity from a vaccine or an earlier infection. But once a person is infected, a host of other biological factors, including age and pre-existing medical conditions, will influence one’s risk of becoming severely ill.

Vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 are based on a range of novel vaccine platforms, with adenovirus-based approaches (like ChAdOx1 nCov-19) being one of them. Recently a rare and novel complication of SARS-CoV-2 targeted adenovirus vaccines has emerged: thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS). TTS is characterized by low platelet counts, clot formation at unusual anatomic sites and platelet-activating PF4-polyanion antibodies reminiscent of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. Here, we employ in vitro and in vivo models to characterize the possible mechanisms of this platelet-targeted autoimmunity.

The World Health Organization (WHO) today is certifying China as free of malaria, after a decadeslong effort drove an estimated annual toll of 30 million cases in the 1940s, including 300,000 deaths, to zero in 2017. Along the way, China developed new surveillance techniques, medicines, and technologies to break the cycle of transmission between the Anopheles mosquitoes that spread malaria parasites and humans.

Remains of man found in Latvia had DNA fragments and proteins of bacterium that causes plague

A coronavirus epidemic broke out in East Asia around 25,000 years ago, and the evidence is in our genes. Researchers say the finding could shed light on how to fight COVID-19.
