RFK Jr. barred registered Democrats from being vaccine advisors, lawsuit says

The health department said Kennedy stands by his CDC reforms.

After US health secretary and hardline anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. fired all 17 highly respected vaccine experts from the federal Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) last month, he vetted their replacements, not by medical and scientific expertise, but by their political leanings, according to a lawsuit filed by medical organizations Monday.

Under Kennedy, to qualify to be on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's nationally influential and historically apolitical ACIP, candidates had to be registered as a Republican or independent and could not have any history of publicly criticizing President Trump or Kennedy, the lawsuit claims.

Women produce more targeted antibodies to fight infections and also retain immunological memory longer, making their bodies more adept at responding to future infections, according to researchers. This all leads to “the very well-known phenomenon that males tend to be more susceptible to a lot of diseases than females — though not in every disease or every individual, of course,” said Marlene Zuk, a Regents Professor and evolutionary biologist at the University of Minnesota in St. Paul.

Since female bodies mount stronger immune defenses, they generally have a stronger vaccine and virus response, a greater ability to fight off sepsis and a decreased risk of some cancers. The downside of this powerful system, however, is that women get more autoimmune diseases than men do. Women are also more likely to live with chronic illness after surviving diseases that would have killed male bodies.

Stem Cell Treatment to Reverse Hearing Loss Kicking Off in Human Patients

Researchers in the UK have received approval to conduct the first ever human trials for a stem cell treatment to reverse hearing loss.

futurism.com

The first-ever human trial exploring the use of stem cell therapy to reverse hearing loss is about to be under way, after getting the go-ahead from the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency.

Conducted by researchers from the University of Sheffield who formed their own spin-out company, the treatment targets sensorineural hearing loss, which is caused by physical damage to the tiny structures of the inner ear.

In a nutshell, the treatment, dubbed Rincell-1, is intended to regrow damaged nerves in the cochlea and allow them to start sending signals to the brain again.

"Our research into Rincell-1 has consistently shown its ability to target and restore the delicate neural structures of the inner ear," Marcelo Rivolta from the University of Sheffield, chief scientific officer at the spin-out biotech company Rinri Therapeutics, said in a statement about the work.

Three-person IVF technique spared children from inherited diseases, scientists say

July 16 (Reuters) - Eight children in the UK have been spared from devastating genetic diseases thanks to a new three-person in vitro fertilization technique, scientists from Newcastle University reported on Wednesday.

The technique, which is banned in the United States, transfers pieces from inside the mother's fertilized egg - its nucleus, plus the nucleus of the father's sperm - into a healthy egg provided by an anonymous donor.

Wasn't Polio eliminated before DDT was? The man is a nut.

Wasn't Polio eliminated before DDT was? The man is a nut.

What is this “fact” thing to which you are referring? DDT was banned in 72 and Polio was officially 100% eradicated in the US in 79. But yes the vaccine appeared in 55 and cases dropped steadily from that point forward.

To really put a cork in it, there's evidence of polio in Ancient Egypt, somewhat pre-dating DDT.


ETA: Pre-dating, not predation.

To clean the dust off that cork, polio hasn't actually been eliminated. Type 1 wild poliovirus still exists in a few parts of the world.

Thanks, in no small part, to a well-known antivax promoting meathead who is now heading the United States Department of H&HS.

BTW, Washington State yesterday announced COVID vaccines will be made available here to those age six months or more.

Yes it was only eradicated in the US because the federal government declared it so and what we say is always completely true.
