I heard RFK Jr. is floating the banning of the polio vaccine so seems like a good time to remind folks that RFK Jr. was vaccinated with this same vaccine & therefore is at no risk of harm himself

Kinda like when he publicly was against the covid vaccine yet privately required his guests to have it🙃

In the past 24 hours, Joe Biden secured a ceasefire deal in Lebanon and deal that brought three wrongfully detained Americans home in advance of Thanksgiving.

That’s leadership.

The preliminary sequence from the H5N1 human case in British Columbia has been posted and it is not good news. The virus potentially has a quasispecies at HA residue 226 (H3 numbering). This is bad news because we know that mutations at residue 226 can increase binding to human receptors. 1/

The H5N1 sequence found in the hospitalized teenager shows two important mutations that improve the virus's ability to bind to human α2,6 sialic acid receptors.

This adaptation is crucial for the virus's potential to spread between humans.

The virus is evolving.
