Celebrate the molecule of the year - spike protein of #SARSCoV2 - and support science education by purchasing a spike t-shirt from https://t.co/4vY5YoMuic - profits during September go to supporting the science programs of https://t.co/imcsA6927t

In today's NYTimes article on #poliovirus in NY, an expert is quoted as saying vaccinated people are protected against the virus. This is WRONG. They are not protected against infection. They are protected from getting paralysis. Vaccinated people may still get infected.

[MicrobeTV @profvrr]

Today's complaint about CDC handling of #poliovirus in US: release the nucleotide sequence of the recovered vaccine-derived isolate from NY. Let the virology community do a molecular clock analysis to determine how long the virus is circulating - likely more than one year!

In this video I break down the first case of #polio in the US in nearly a decade https://t.co/JiZzkaaukN

We have been saying for years that poliovirus is in US sewage undetected - because we do not look for it. Now the case of polio in NY shows it indeed is here https://t.co/KUZGiAcJ2z

Amy returns to #TWiV to discuss her work on the identification of cross-reactive antibody responses among diverse enteroviruses, and the implications for our understanding of viral pathogenesis and seroprevalence studies https://t.co/s7wwTtNEXq

3. Results of studies have shown that despite waning antibody levels, most fully vaccinated people are protected against severe disease, hospitalization, and death.

What we need to do is get everyone fully vaccinated! (3/3)

@nailbomb3 Thank you!

Exciting day for #microbetv and #parasiteswithout borders: @DanielGriffinMD and I signed a lease for studio/office space on Seventh avenue in NYC. Bringing unbiased science education to all.

Peter Daszak, Thea Kølsen Fischer, Marion Koopmans, members of WHO team investigating origins of #SARSCoV2 join #TWiV to explain work done by the committee during phase one, their conclusions, and the extent of work that remains to be done in phase two https://t.co/QzsB6rv1vy

#SARSCoV2 does not infect the brain but still inflicts damage https://t.co/ZiaSTAJZE7 put those organoids back in the freezer folks, they are not telling you anything useful #COVID19

[MicrobeTV @profvrr]

On the latest episode of the #science #podcast This Week in Virology #TWiV @abr22 joins us to review evidence that enterovirus D68 is an etiologic agent of #AFM and that ability of virus to infect cells of the nervous system is not a new property https://t.co/ieokEEleVG

[MicrobeTV @profvrr]

Enterovirus D68 has always been able to infect cells of the central nervous system, in work by @amyvirologist https://t.co/W1rGTcaaYt need to look elsewhere to explain changing epidemiology of infection associated paralysis #virus #AFM

[MicrobeTV @profvrr]

We are so excited today to have reached our goal of $15,000! Thanks to all 114 donors who will help move forward our work on AFM and EV-D68. We still have 5 days left to help us do even more to prevent childhood paralysis. #eightysixD68 #AFM Go to https://t.co/gA8dkXBrrr

[MicrobeTV @profvrr]

Six days left in our Crowdfund campaign to help fund our laboratory and support our research to understand what causes childhood paralysis or AFM. Go to https://t.co/gA8dkXBrrr to help prevent the return of scenes like this from the heyday of polio #eightysixD68 #AFM
