Oh good, more great news for American science.

By the way, we have nice human pan-hanta mAbs that could be used as treatment. Last year we applied for EU funding to develop them clinically. The proposal was rejected.
Hantavirus on a cruise ship? Crazy! today.rtl.lu/news/world/two-…
I'm happy to announce that my recent work on characterizing the humoral immune response to Puumala virus infection has been published in eBioMedicine. We got some funky results that hint at persistent human infection. Watch this space 👀🦠

By breaking it up MMR, you provide zero extra benefit, and only increase the likelihood kids will miss their M, other M, or R. Measles/mumps will return, and so will congenital rubella syndrome which causes microcephaly, cataracts, structural heart defects. It’s unethical.
🚨RFK Jr. just announced that HHS is looking into splitting the MMR vaccine into three separate shots.
Reporter: “The president has asked to break up the MMR vaccine into three separate shots. Is that something you’re going to direct ACIP to consider or take action on?”
RFK Jr: “We’re looking at the feasibility of that now.”

Imagine being married to a Brown woman and having mixed-race kids and then publicly mocking other Brown people as they talk publicly and emotionally about their experience of racism. Vance is just a bad person.

Did you know amphibians and fish have viruses that are very similar to human influenza B viruses? We didn't know either, but Eddie Holmes found them and we had a closer look at their HAs and NAs. with @gabagagan @WardLab1 @RobertPdeVries1

Great to hear @angie_rasmussen on the Ben and Emile show educating the public on the threat posed by H5N1 and the failings of the current American government 🦠 youtu.be/4Cm3qxCLTvg?si=xRmL…

🚨 New Publication!!! I’m thrilled to share our latest study, “Clonotype-Enriched Somatic Hypermutations Drive Affinity Maturation of a Public Human Antibody Targeting an Occluded Sarbecovirus Epitope”. cell.com/cell-reports/fullte… [1/5]

A new review about Puumalavirus (the hantavirus also prevalent in Austria) just went online. Great work by Alina Tscherne at the Ignaz Semmelweis Institute in Vienna @MedUni_Wien and colleagues from @MedUniGraz, @IcahnMountSinai and @institutpasteur .

I am really saddened by the level of vitriol and hatred being directed toward the trans community.
We are losing our common humanity. How hard is it to treat people with kindness and respect?
Trans people are human beings — and they deserve to live in dignity.

RFK Jr is not a trustworthy source about vaccine efficacy or zoonosis, particularly for H5N1 in chickens.
His claim that poultry vaccination will "turn those birds into mutant factories" is incorrect & I've got receipts 👇

It's been refreshing working on something a little different - hantaviruses! Huge thanks to @RobertK05753862 and @florian_krammer for this opportunity 🦠
We have a new preprint on Puumalavirus infections out. This is a fantastic collaboration with Robert Krause @RobertK05753862 at @MedUniGraz . Work in my lab was spearheaded by @JordanDoesFlu (who didn't do flu this time).
Cross-binding antibodies capable of neutralizing diverse orthohantaviruses are produced in response to Puumala virus infection

When will this nonsense stop??? Viruses & epidemics come from animals & humans and not from labs. We have a potential new one brewing in avian & mammals! Putting our heads in the sand & not understanding how pandemics & epidemics arise will not stop them. aljazeera.com/news/2024/12/3…

My youngest is a magnet for ticks so helping him understand what to look for is really important. As for the oldest, never had a tick, but he did lend his beautiful voice to this amazing animation 🥰. Such an amazing example of engagement done right
We are delighted to launch our new tick awareness animation aimed at younger children (aged 5-11)
The animation aims to enable younger children to be their own advocates and stay safe whilst enjoying the outdoors!
