Focus on virology, Vaccine and immunology, maily on infectios disease such as coronavirus and influenza virus. SARS-CoV-2,MERS-CoV, et al. All views are my own.
This is the kind of work, published today, that should be fully supported and prioritized at the highest level. Currently, there is no vaccine vs the Ebola Bundibugyo virus, the source of a major outbreak https://t.co/qM6bWLtmcb
The emergence of a new clade of #mpox, its rapid spread in eastern #DRC, and the reporting of cases in several neighbouring countries are very worrying.

🎉The new and improved https://t.co/wVE7ucgcg6 is here! 🎉
We're hoping to make this a one-stop location to track not only the 'headline' variants, but many different #SARSCoV2 mutations & variants that scientists are keeping an eye on.
Let's take a tour of the site!

I strongly support @SecDef and @DeptofDefense's plan to add the COVID-19 vaccine to the list of required vaccinations for service members. We are still on a wartime footing against this virus, and every eligible American should get vaccinated. https://t.co/q0MJYFJJgH
