Measles doesn’t always end when the rash fades. For one woman, it returned 25 years later — as a fatal brain disease. SSPE affects 1 in 50,000 measles cases. There’s no cure. There is prevention. This story will stay with you. ⬇️ www.independent.co.uk/news/health/...

Retraction Watch has covered the problem of the “national IQ” database. Should be noted I’m far from alone in working to remove these publications. The spreadsheet of pubs which use NIQ - linked to in the article - was started by @kohngregory.bsky.social; a project also worked on by Cathryn Townsend

Who should be first in line for the upcoming anti-HIV jab? | News24
One in 10 clinics in SA — across 22 health districts in six provinces — could start to hand out a twice-a-year anti-HIV jab as early as February. Medicines regulator Sahpra says it’s on track to announce its registration decision by the end of October. So who should get LEN first?
