Will HK be considering adding Novavax as a choice of COVID-19 vaccine, seeing how it’s on par with mRNA in efficacy, has potentially greater durability, and may also allay vaccine hesitancy and boost uptake by virtue of it being a non-mRNA vaccine? @HKU_SPH @bencowling88

Re: Novavax, numbers are small (~4% of doses), but NVX vaccine effectiveness (76%) may be higher than mRNA (40-45%). Note: values unadjusted, so they are subject to confounding and slightly different from VE in the report.

Florey Institute scientists found that male mice infected with SARS-CoV-2 before conception produced offspring with higher anxiety, linked to RNA changes in their sperm. The study suggests COVID-19 infection in fathers may affect future generations. nature.com/articles/s4146…

It's always worth noting that kids under 9 get hospitalised by covid at about the same rate as 60-70 year olds. Covid infection HARMS CHILDREN.

Yale researchers analyzed data from 158 million US workers and found that even after the pandemic, COVID-19 continues to raise work absences by 13% and labor force exits by 13%. The virus has created a new year-round baseline similar to flu season. jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

Enduring Outcomes of COVID-19 Work Absences on the US Labor Market

This cohort study examines the extent to which COVID-19 continues to generate work absences and decrease labor force participation beyond the pandemic period in the US.

Post-COVID depression isn’t weakness. It’s biology. A landmark, important study shows how the virus leaves a measurable molecular trace - in the very proteins that protect your brain from degeneration🧵

Seoul researchers studied 51 COVID-19 survivors and found that low sorbitol dehydrogenase and high alpha-synuclein and PKM levels mark those who develop psychiatric symptoms after infection, revealing metabolic and neuroinflammatory roots of long COVID. nature.com/articles/s4139…

After entrapping viruses, amyloid-β presence can generate an excessive response by brain cells, creating chronic inflammation and downstream pathology that may lead to Alzheimer symptoms. Fewer than 5% of #Alzheimer cases are genetic. For the vast majority, the cause is 'unknown'

Autoimmunity drives many chronic neurological conditions including Alzheimer’s, MS, now ALS. Yet it still does not get the attention it deserves. That is why every step we take with LC counts for these diseases too. Neuroimmunology needs more attention nature.com/articles/s4157…

7-12% of patients recovering from moderate to severe COVID-19 show persistently low counts of B cells, CD4 T cells, and Tregs, even after clinical recovery.🧵

Persistent lymphocytopenia in convalescent patients with COVID19: dysregulated B cell, CD4+ T cell, and treg compartments in 7–12% of moderate-severe cases. (PCC), affecting 10–30% of infected with SARSCoV2, arise from unresolved immune system dysfunction. frontiersin.org/journals/cellu…

Good to see the Unions getting on board with the need for Clean air in schools. Especially all the legislation showing it’s a legal right not a privilege and schools not compliant and putting staff and pupils at risk could be legally liable

This shows how environmental exposures, lifestyle factors, and viral infections can converge on the same neurodegenerative pathways. SARS-CoV-2 may not create MND from scratch, but it could push already vulnerable neurons over the edge.

Since I’m a neuropathologist, I’ll put my two cents into this MND discussion. SARS-CoV-2 isn’t just a respiratory virus. Emerging evidence shows it can infect human motor neurons. Could this link to motor neuron disease (MND)? Let’s break down the neuropathology. 🧵

Holy shit. That's the category that Motor Neurone Disease falls into.

so now ALS has an autoimmune link and may be an immune disorder.

At the University of Göttingen, researchers studied blood from people with ALS and found autoimmune CD4+ T cells that target the C9orf72 protein. These cells produced IL-4, IL-5, and IL-10, linking ALS to an autoimmune response for the first time. nature.com/articles/s4157…
