Slides from my talk at the CEIRR annual meeting are on my website now: wzbillings.com/presentations/2. Talk is titled "Quantifying the breadth of vaccine response with antigenic distance." and is specifically about but is mostly about a methodological problem.

From one of that talks at IDDconf today, a summary of the JUNIPER partnership and upcoming activities.

Exciting opportunities to engage and be involved in an inter-university community of epidemiological modellers working at the interface of infectious disease control and health policy!

This is our writeup about the app we built to allow users to flexibly forecast the effects of interventions on tuberculosis, including improvements to targeted testing and treatment, diagnostics, and improvements to the care cascade.

A Tale of Two Viruses: strains variola major & minor share 98% genetics but differ vastly in IFR (1% vs 30%). Now, variants like BA.2.86 are ~99.6% similar to the original. In <10yrs, we could reach Smallpox-level diversity. Small changes, BIG risks—deadly variants with IFRs like or could emerge.

What caught my eye: among the 80 sequelae, 31% and 65% (for non-hospitalized and hospitalized) were still at statistically significantly higher risk ratios at 2 years compared to the control group (uninfected). That's pretty intense considering some of these still statistically significant sequelae are **death**, hospitalization, heart conditions/events, vomiting, etc., for the hospitalized group.
