Dang! Is your work place safe?😅

She deserves all the consequences her hatred of others begets her.

😆 Indeed!

MVA-BN remains a useful public health tool, but its protection appears transient compared to the durable immunity seen after infection. Boosters and next-generation vaccine platforms ideally mpox-specific,will be crucial for sustained global protection as the virus continues to circulate and evolve.

They also strengthen the argument for developing mpox-specific vaccines. Two mRNA-based mpox vaccine candidates have already shown promising preclinical results in animal models. Hopefully we will see these progress to human phase studies .

These findings make a compelling case for booster vaccination after MVA-BN, especially among smallpox-naïve individuals and those vaccinated intradermally during the 2022 dose-sparing campaign, since this route generated lower antibody concentrations than subcutaneous dosing in the real world.

MVA-BN induced far weaker and shorter-lived antibody responses than natural infection, particularly in those born after 1976 who never received smallpox vaccine. Neutralizing antibodies were detectable in only 4% of vaccinated participants by month 8, compared to most who had been infected.

Clinically, about 1/3 of mpox survivors still had visible scars 2yrs later mostly on the face, hands, or genitals. Other symptoms, such as fatigue or mental health impacts, largely resolved within a year. Importantly, no residual virus was detected in saliva, semen, or anorectal swabs longterm.

The researchers also confirmed what immunologists have long suspected: those who received smallpox vaccination decades ago still benefit from lasting immune memory. Their antibody responses to both infection and MVA-BN were markedly stronger than those of smallpox-naïve individuals.

Participants who recovered from mpox mounted strong & durable immune responses w nAbs persisting for up to 24 mths. By contrast, individuals vaccinated with MVA-BN, especially those without prior smallpox vaccination, had significantly lower antibody levels and few detectable nAb after 8–24 months.

Ooooh. Listening for the week. Thanks for the drop alert 😊

He was a really nasty piece of work wasn't he. Goes to show you can be a brilliant scientist and still be s trash human being

Also, the co-discovered has a big asterisk on it because if we are being honest he and Crick stole Rosalind Franklin's work and she never got recognition for the discovery which was a central piece to decoding the double helix structure.

They are so many of them. Sucking the life out of their countries.

PS - The median age on the African continent is 17-19 years.
These old men do not have a vision for the millions of disenfranchised youths seeking opportunities to grow and thrive. Their vision is limited to themselves and the balance in their foreign bank accounts.

Will his approach inspire the other octagenarian & septagenarian leaders on the continent to continue shunning democracy in favor self interest and forever power? Either way none of this is good for a continent which holds 20% of the world's population. So much potential thwarted by bad governance
