What's behind this tidal wave of epidemics? In the largest study ever conducted on emerging infectious diseases, we show that the popular explanation - "our relationship with nature is out of balance" - doesn't hold up. Out now in Nature, after half a decade of work: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The NIH Director confirms they are giving away biomedical research money used to develop treatments and cures for infectious diseases such as influenza, malaria, tuberculosis, HIV, Ebola, and other dangerous pathogens, to the Department of Defense. Outrageous.

@NIHDirector_Jay

NIH funds should be used to improve the health of Americans.
Far from siphoning money away from research, this partnership between @NIH and @DeptofWar focuses on research projects that will drive discoveries to improve the health of American citizens and members of the military.
Led by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, all work will be 100% aligned with our public health mission.

American drug companies Merck and Moderna have created a vaccine that has stopped skin cancer returning in patients during a trial. Each vaccine is created specifically for an individual patient by sequencing DNA from patient's tumor and using mRNA to create the vaccine.

The title is dark green and says, "Help survivor Ahmed get back on his feet." In the bottom corner are some green paint strokes, over which the text reads, "Give: tinyurl.com/HelpAhmedF.

When you hear a recent study has found “Many older adults who died of COVID weren’t close to death before infection,” it is important to understand that while these people “died of COVID” it would also be true to say that these people were sacrificed by their societies.
