Dear @KKMPutrajaya @DrDzul

My COVID-19 vaccine experience:
1. Booked appointment via MySejahtera

2. Called the clinic multiple times (2 weeks and 1 week before) to confirm vaccine availability and ask which mRNA vaccine was being offered (JN.1 or LP.8.1)

Measles doesn’t “build immunity” - it kills & disables.

Short-term: Pneumonia (1/20 kids, top cause of death), encephalitis (1/1,000 → brain damage/death), 1–3 deaths per 1,000 children.

Long-term: Immune amnesia (months–years of weaker defenses) + SSPE (rare, almost always fatal brain disease years later).

More cases = LESS health. And we’ve had more cases in the last 2 years than the last 20 COMBINED. 🤯

Check out the CA Department of Public Health’s recommendation. A reminder that an N95 in crowded airports and planes is a small inconvenience compared with an infection that might follow you home and stay much longer than your vacation. 😷#LongCOVID #COVID.

The U.S. has now reached the highest number of measles cases in more than three decades. And it’s only July.

[Katelyn Jetelina @dr_kkjetelina]

Theres confusion why hitting a 35-year record for measles is a bad thing. To be clear, 2,318 cases means:
-545 hospitalized
-12,300 school days missed
-Lose immunity to other viruses
-2 kids w permanent hearing loss
-1 kid will die in 10 years from brain disease
-$204m costs

Acabei de saber porque esse jogador Cucurella da Espanha deixa o cabelo Crescer, e o motivo não tem nada haver com vaidade, ele deixa o cabelo crescer e para que o filho Mateo que é autista o possa reconhecer em campo quando ele está jogando, isso é um gesto muito mas muito bonito e grandioso , parabéns a esse Papai.

New Orleans has one of the few day camps in the US that use universal COVlD precautions so that children do not get SARS-CoV-2 infections in perpetuity.

日本のテレビは熱中症報道に過熱してますが、コロナが大流行の兆しを見せてます
しかし、日本のテレビはコロナに関する報道をしてません
そのため、国民の多くがコロナの流行を知りません
コロナはただの呼吸器疾患ではありません
脳や臓器や血管など全身にダメージを与えます

🚨 BREAKTHROUGH: World’s First Vaccine Targeting the Entire SARS Coronavirus Family Begins Human Testing

Imagine a vaccine that doesn’t just fight COVID but every SARS-related virus, including ones still hiding in bats, waiting to jump.

That’s GBP511. And it just started human trials in Australia.🧵

真夏のアスファルトの照り返しにより、子どもの身長で感じる暑さは大人より約7℃高くなることがある。
胸の高さの測定で大人31.1℃に対し、子どもは38.2℃を示した。子どもは地面に近く、下校時間の午後1～3時は気温や照り返しが強いため、熱中症リスクが高い。

New Omicron sub-lineage RF.5 detected in India.

➡️ Genome sequencing has identified RF.5 in COVID-19 samples from Andhra Pradesh. The variant is a descendant of the JN.1 lineage (via LF.7 → PY.1.1.1) and is not a recombinant variant.

➡️ The good news: There is currently no evidence that RF.5 causes more severe disease than other circulating Omicron variants. WHO is monitoring it as part of routine global genomic surveillance.

👉 Vigilance, not panic, remains the right approach.

The most dangerous part of viral infections isn’t always the initial illness:

Measles can erase immune memory

Influenza can trigger pneumonia and heart attacks

COVID can affect nearly every organ

HPV and hepatitis cause cancer

Vaccination and prevention save lives.

[AnnieRN @ann_mcnitt]

Argh. Cyclospora positive. The symptoms are brutal, and I've lost 6 pounds in four days.

DON'T EAT RAW VEGETABLES OR GREENS FROM GROCERY STORES OR RESTAURANTS!

[Dr. Catharine Young @DrCatharineY]

A year ago, CDC made Cyclospora surveillance optional. It had been tracked for 28 years.

Today: ~3,000 cases across 31 states, no confirmed source, and CDC’s own count (843) is trailing what states are reporting by thousands.

[Keith @keetmuise]

Maybe you got through the acute infection stage of Covid with what you thought was a “mild” bout because you didn’t die, or your symptoms were mild on the surface, but does that mean you’re in the clear?

Let’s remember how Chicken Pox can lead to Shingles decades later, after one infection.

Oh and we can’t forget about HIV and how it is usually symptomless for years, before it leaves you fragile and in danger.

Or how HPV can lead to cancer down the road, and Epstein-Barr Virus is linked to MS, or polio can cause disability years after infection.

Most of these viruses cause delayed damage and death after one infection, so don’t assume you’re safe getting Covid a couple of times per year.

[Jerome Adams @JeromeAdamsMD]

298 children died from flu last season. You simply can’t say you care about kids, while dismissing these numbers, and the fact that almost all of them were unvaccinated/ their deaths were preventable. 😞
