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
Daniel Park@Daniel_E_Park

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.

march 27 2020, I caught Covid for the first time. I was struggling to breathe, called 999, and was told to stay in bed. I had no idea that from that day, it would be the start of my life being completely destroyed. 6 years later, I’m still living with the damage every single day.

University of Valladolid, 23 hospitalized COVID patients. Those who later developed Long COVID showed early immune changes and lasting T cell shifts, hinting that blood immune patterns may help predict risk months later. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

The severe systemic risk here is obvious, so I'll confine myself to one aspect of it. The possibility of medication and medical supplies shortages in the near future is very real, so staying as healthy as you can is more important than ever. Wear FFP2 / FFP3 as often as possible.

Markets may be “overly optimistic” about the impact of the Iran conflict, says @Lagarde. She tells @zannymb that a return to normality could take years. Watch the full interview on The Insider at 6pm London time: econ.st/3NrrAIr

Now, remember again *this is young people*. Mid to late twenties. Where's that trend going, eh. And, no, it's not vaccines, it's been proven again and again that vaccines don't cause heart problems at wide scale. BUT COVID INFECTION DOES.

1 of 4 people have an APOE4 allele, a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease. New evidence this is linked to abnormal meningeal lymphatic function, brain inflammation, and important sex-differences @NeuroCellPress cell.com/neuron/fulltex…

If your safety protocol requires the most vulnerable person in the room to take all the risk,
it’s not medicine—it’s abandonment.

So it's clear that BA.3.2 preferentially infects children, something we have never seen before in a SARS-CoV-2 variant. Why? The question's baffled me, but after a suggestion from Darren Martin, I think I have an explanation that makes sense. 1/16
Ryan Hisner@LongDesertTrain

There's not much BA.3.2 in the US yet, but the numbers are still pretty striking. Ages 0-18 are more than 5 times as common in BA.3.2 sequences as in non-BA.3.2 sequences. USA, 2026, Feb 1 to present (Mar 23), non-travel non-BA.3.2, 139/1172 (11.9%) BA.3.2 26/41 (63.4%)

“Each infection is a new stress on the body. Repeated infections may increase the risk of #LongCovid by cumulatively affecting the immune system, inflammation & organ systems. In addition, each infection carries its own independent risk of triggering LC” —Dr. Guzmán-Vélez

I'm in a lull on twitter without much visibility, so probably hardly anyone will see this, but here's an important thread on "why everyone's sick all the time". No, you are not imagining it. Sickness is increasing. Sickness absence rates are increasing.

Mount Sinai, 4244 people. Morning heart rate and heart rate variability shifts helped predict same day crashes, fatigue, and brain fog in complex chronic illness, hinting phones and wearables could flag bad days early. nature.com/articles/s4174…

Back from an early am appointment with my Physio who works in a sports injury clinic. She mentioned that she’s starting to see a lot more young athletes/students with POTS. I told her to get used to this.
