GOOD NEWS! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a UNIVERSAL vaccine known as GLA-3M-052-LS+OVA, that protects against a wide range of respiratory viruses, bacteria AND even allergens. The vaccine is delivered intranasally AND provides broad protection in the lungs for several MONTHS.

I had a shitty childhood
it's taboo to say it, you're really supposed to just have Had A Good Childhood and that's that
but when I was conceived, my mom was broke and 20 years old and had no education
and by the time I was eight, boy, was I going THROUGH IT
one afternoon I turned on the TV...
WELL NOW, would you look at that?
A massive, 26-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 2.4 MILLION people in Sweden found found NO EVIDENCE to support a causal link between acetaminophen (the API in Tylenol) use during pregnancy and increased risk of autism, ADHD, OR intellectual disability in children.
GOOD NEWS! A UNIVERSAL sarbecovirus vaccine candidate has OFFICIALLY started clinical trials. GBP511 is the FIRST vaccine to reach human testing that is intended to protect against MULTIPLE strains of SARS-CoV-2 as well as other related coronaviruses with the potential to spark dangerous outbreaks.
Based on what we have now, I like option c the best
Eventually though I would love to see a (WebMention-powered?) system where comments/feedback can be easily processed with a local client (modeled after email/newsgroup clients), and the author can pick & choose what to feature on the original post
WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 24-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION people in Denmark found NO LINK between aluminum in childhood vaccines and autism, asthma, OR chronic disorders.
Aluminum is an ADJUVANT.
It ENHANCES your immune response to a vaccine.
That’s it.
Science is not truth.
Science is finding the truth.
When science changes its opinion, it didn't lie to you. It learned more.
Well now, would you look at that?
A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of SEVERE disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.

Hitboxes for characters and ink got reworked as well www.nintendo.com/en-gb/News/2...
A more pessimistic conjecture is that they're realizing Splatoon 4 will release later than originally expected, and these features got backported to keep 3 fresh.
Well now, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

Worries about vaccination rates in dogs As rabies seems to be spreading more in wildlife, veterinarians are especially worried about vaccine hesitancy spreading among pet owners, a dangerous trend that could lead to more dogs - and their owners- becoming infected. A 2023 study published in the journal Vaccine found in nationally representative sample of Americans that nearly 40% believed canine vaccines were unsafe and 37% believed that vaccines could lead their dogs to develop cognitive issues, such as autism.
May I remind everyone that there is currently NO cure for rabies.
May I also remind everyone there is absolutely NO scientific proof connecting ANY vaccine that we produce today with autism.
This is true regarding vaccination in both humans AND in dogs.
Vaccinate your pets please.
Woah, had no idea about this!
(also, small typo in the third paragraph I think: should ‘seasons’ be ‘seasonal’?)
GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a nasally delivered, antibiotic-inactivated Bordetella pertussis (AIBP) vaccine that NOT ONLY prevents SEVERE disease BUT also CURBS bacterial TRANSMISSION. This NEEDLE-FREE AIBP platform could open the door to new vaccines against other respiratory bacteria.
The vernacular use of ‘leapfrogging’ in this context makes me think that a mode was skipped over for something more advanced.
Maybe the analogy is closer to a ’gear shift’ on a bike (different gears having different strengths)?
Or to use a lens metaphor, maybe something like ‘bifocal’?

For some prior work on something similar to this, check out the Gemini protocol: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemini_...
GOOD NEWS! A group of patients with an otherwise incurable form of T‑cell leukemia have seen their cancer driven into REMISSION by an innovative immune therapy known as BE-CAR7. 82% of patients reached deep remission and 64% of patients have now been disease-free and OFF therapy for THREE years.
THIS. Did you know sickle cell is curable, now? FULLY curable.
If you're feeling down or despairing about what FEELS like technology/advancement/science "standing still" or being fully malicious, I have great news: You're not paying attention to actual science. Just tech industry marketing.
