Measles Vaccine Protection Wanes After a Decade Individuals who receive a measles-containing vaccine maintain seropositivity for a decade; however, the vaccine’s protection declines gradually thereafter.

New Lancet meta-analysis finds measles vaccine immunity wanes over time, with seropositivity dropping from ~93% within 10 yrs to ~83% at 16–22 yrs.

The authors say their findings warrant an urgent review of vaccination strategies

Let's be crystal clear: doing some good stuff doesn't give you a free pass to also do a whole bunch of bad stuff. And when the bad stuff is REALLY bad, no amount of good stuff can compensate.

Labour have flirted with that hard line many times since the GE. Today's immigration assault leaps over it.

Sadly I won’t be watching @eurovision.tv again this year, due to the deplorable decision to continue to allow Israel to continue to participate.

@theguardian.com Can you explain this normalisation of a far right party please? I’m a paid subscriber, and I certainly don’t pay to support the far right.

Are you bored tonight? Send your five accomplishments, maybe your shopping list, or your five thoughts on Elon from the past week to OPM at HR@opm.gov.

He is admitting that he doesn’t want lawyers to stop him from breaking the law. No one would stop him from issuing lawful orders, so this has to be about unlawful ones.

Okay, I’m getting this too.

A social media conglomerate of 3.2 billion users is now censoring on behalf of the Trump administration.

It's quite clear that Elon's a neo-Nazi. He's obsessed with genetics, let blue-check Nazis run wild on X and is backing a German neo-Nazi party. There's no reason to give him any benefit of the doubt.

But the press will, and that allows him to shout out to his base but say he's trolling the libs.

@wgallagher.bsky.social I thought you might enjoy the idea of this..
Merry Christmas / Holidays / Solstice…

Happy Solstice for those who celebrate…

Not much hope the next year will be a better one, but a sliver of hope will have to suffice in the circumstances!

Just in case someone needs to see this.

If it’s US candy then fruit, if European then chocolate.

It is not an overstatement when I say that I could genuinely weep: this is 100% the *exact opposite* of what they need to do: you cannot out-Reform the Reform Party. The only thing this will do is drive more voters to Reform: voters always choose the original. *Every* bit of research shows that. 🧵

Charlotte Church sang From the River to the Sea at a fundraising event for Palestinians and now all the usual people are screaming antisemitism and trying to cancel her.

RP if you stand with Charlotte Church and Palestine.

lady of sophistication @janky_jane Props to anyone who tries to be fashionable in ireland i wore a red beret once in waterford and someone called me super mario Andrew Beatty V @AndrewBeatty Replying to @janky_jane I once ordered a taxi in Belfast for a night out. The driver pulls up to my house and just says "yer not going out like that. Go back in and change, I'll turn off the metre." | swear I was wearing normal jeans and a normal jacket.

Matthew @MrWeir Replying to @janky jane I once wore a silver jacket to college, turned up late for class, said 'sorry I'm late', lecturer said, 'that's ok' then waited til I was halfway across the front of the full class before following up with 'trouble with the spaceship again was it?'. Replying to @janky _jane My sister was in France sporting a new trench coat, thought was so stylish, but went into an Irish bar and got called Inspector Gadget by the first guy that saw her 15:53 • 8/16/21 • Twitter Web App

was wearing my super-fashionable short trench coat. My friend took one look at me wearing the jacket and said, "Where are we off to now. Columbo?" Eoin O Neill @eoinjoneill Replying to @janky_jane Was wearing a vintage nike jacket in a very long que for drinks at a boxing match when a Belfast lad goes "furk me this is taking forever, your man has been here since the 80's"

Loic Wright @dufflest Replying to @janky jane I wore a suit with a matching tie and pocket square to my first day of work at an advertising company (I thought I was going to be in Mad Men I guess) and the staff sent around and signed a communion card for me with a fiver in it. Eóin O Coileáin @L20_MTN Replying to @janky_jane I wore a white, wool turtle-neck jumper to the match once and a fella in the pub said 'Where have you parked the U-boat?'.

nobody does more brutal fashion reviews than the irish

What Jeremy Clarkson had to say about people who protest about their financial affairs: "Frankly, I'd have them all shot. I would take them outside and execute them in front of their families." www.theguardian.com/media/video/...

The fact that Jeremy Clarkson, Nigel Farage and Claire Fox have involved themselves with the farmers’ protests should tell us everything we need to know. And I say that as a farmer’s grandson.
