Researchers have found that getting vaccinated against shingles- a painful and debilitating condition that can flare up years after infection from VZV- not only LOWERS the risk of infection, but can also PROTECT against dementia and REDUCE the risk of cardiovascular disease! πŸ§ͺπŸ§΅β¬‡οΈ

That’s because it appears to ignore decades of science linking about 200 genes that play a role.

Vinay Prasad, in his own words, outlines the philosophy he’ll bring to the FDA Vinay Prasad, tapped to be a top official at the FDA, has never shied from speaking his mind.

tl;dr- egotistical edgelord intoxicatingly enamored with the (false) idea that he's far smarter than everyone else and therefore superior

Most vaccines don’t trigger mucosal IgAβ€”a key airway defense

Clever new Nat Comm study from πŸ‡³πŸ‡΄ solves that by fusing antigens to albumin, which uses FcRn pathway to cross the nasal barrier

Result: a potent intranasal vaccine that protects vs. both flu and SARS-CoV-2
