"Sequencing results suggested that the ancestor of the 1918 virus infected humans sometime between 1900 and 1915."

FASCINATING & just a little scary

This is a really interesting study proposing that increased heart disease cases and deaths during the 1960's may have been a late result of the 1918 influence pandemic.

Are you learning about #ImmunologicalImprinting in the context of debates about Covid booster strategies -- how often people at different risk levels should be boosted and with what mix of variants?

You might be interested in this piece in @TheConversationUS (by me and @martineiermann) about how #imprinting may have been the key to an odd puzzle about the #1918flu pandemic.

A sneak peek 🧵 of a paper just accepted at Population Studies with Mathias Mølbak Ingholt! Our findings rewrite one of the basic narratives about the 1918 flu pandemic and fertility.

Our argument: the pandemic *dampened* fertility in both 1919 and 1920, rather than causing a 1920 baby boom (as has been long held).

Crises like pandemics make inequalities worse -- right?

Let Martin Eiermann and I tell you about a surprising exception -- and a puzzle that might turn on an unusual collision of viral and social histories.
