#UniversalFluVaccine has promising clinical trial results https://www.skepticalraptor.com/skepticalraptorblog.php/universal-flu-vaccine-has-promising-clinical-trial-results/

OVX836 is a recombinant #H1N1 #nucleoprotein #vaccine. Nucleoprotein is a relatively stable protein in viral particles — not prone to the mutations that change surface antigens so often that new strains are constantly emerging. Presenting this stable protein as an antigen could reduce the need for constant #flu vaccine updating.

Feel free to talk at me. I am merely an unlettered but avid reader.

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

A person (heck, maybe more, but definitely one), has caught H1N1 influenza from a pig.

Flu symptoms include fever, cough, runny nose, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. With H1N1 flu, sometimes there is diarrhea and vomiting. These resemble COVID symptoms, and some of these symptoms are also present in RSV, as well as strep throat. Have a symptom? Get tested. Someone's life could be saved because of your vigilance. That life could even be yours.

H1N1 spreads through the air in droplets released when someone with the virus coughs, sneezes, talks, or BREATHES. The virus enters your body when you breathe in contaminated droplets. It also can enter your body if you touch a contaminated surface and then touch your eyes, nose or mouth.

People with H1N1 influenza virus infection are potentially contagious as long as they are symptomatic and for up to 7 days following onset of symptoms. Children might be contagious for longer periods.

* WEAR A MASK. Covid never did go away. The news simply hasn't been covering its spread and impacts, is all. We are now experiencing a surge that, to no-one's surprise, the news isn't covering. It is a small surge, but a surge nonetheless. You should never have stopped masking indoors and in crowded situations in the first place.

* WASH YOUR HANDS. Carry soap with you. When you pass by a water tap, wash your hands. If your hands have been in public spaces (stores, fair barns, etc), sanitise them. NO EXCUSES. Hand hygiene is vital to preventing yourself and other from getting everything from the common cold to deadly diarrhea.

In September or October at the latest, GET VACCINATED for the flu. It will not cause you to grow horns or whatever the tinfoil hat experts are ranting about this week. I promise you.

Don't pet the four-legged humans, ok? The reason that we get illnesses from pigs and study their corpses in medical school is because they are the closest non-primate animal to humans. Those who have had to survive plane crashes in snowy mountainous regions can tell you that we taste like pig, too. Just leave them alone. (Btw, our food safety standards and inspections suck, so cook meat according to safety standards. Tell your taste buds to get over it.)

Don't spread influenza. I like being alive.

Two more kids have died from flu, raising the season's total to 141. Sad to see this metric return to pre-pandemic levels.
There isn't much #flu around at this point, but what is around is mostly #H1N1 & flu B. The latter made up about 43% of confirmed cases in the week ending April 8. But 43% of a small number is a small number. I'm not worried at this point about a flu B surge.

@aetiology

does anyone know of a good #phylogenetic paper that shows 2009, 1977, and 1918 flu?

i found one that shows #1977flu looking sus … but i want the full picture of #H1N1

Yikes. I neglected to follow the current bird flu situation. I'm going to decommission the bird feeder and stop taking the kids to feed the ducks immediately. Will try confining the cat indoors. :virus: :virus: :virus: :welp: :welp: :welp: Once again, public health communication is non-existent #h1n1 #bir #birdflu #cats #publichealth

Globalresearch is an "anti-Western" website that can't distinguish between serious analysis and discreditable junk — and so publishes both. It's basically the #tankie equivalent to Infowars or WND.

While some of GlobalResearch's articles discuss legitimate humanitarian concerns, its view of science, economics, and geopolitics is conspiracist — if something goes wrong, the West did it! The site has long been a crank magnet: If you disagree with "Western" sources on 9/11, or #HAARP, or vaccines, or #H1N1, or climate change, or anything published by the "mainstream" media, then GlobalResearch is guaranteed to have a page you will love.

I just read this article titled "How free-range eggs became the norm in supermarkets – and sold customers a lie" - written by Joel Mead

Some of the key sentences in the article:

"However, free-range egg farms differ from the advertised scenes of chickens roaming free in open fields. In fact, free-range flocks can reach up to 16,000 hens a shed, with daytime access to the outside provided by holes in the perimeter.

Beaks are trimmed to prevent the fighting that arises as a result of stress in this unnatural environment. More expensive organic eggs, produced by much smaller flocks on farms where beak trimming is banned, are a minority of those eaten in the UK."

1. Time for a #flu 🧵
#Influenza A, which started circulating at high levels earlier this season than in any season since the 2009 #H1N1 pandemic, is declining as quickly as it climbed. In several parts of the country, doctor visits for flu-like illness are below epidemic levels.

#Influenza A, which started circulating at high levels earlier this season than in any season since the 2009 #H1N1 pandemic, is declining as quickly as it climbed. It is truly remarkable to see the map of #flu-like activity show so little red in the 2nd week of Jan. It is like this year's flu season shifted forward 2 months or so.
Last week on the right. Same week in 2018, on the left, as the 2017-18 season started to take off.

@keimond I've had all but one booster and if this I'd mild, I'd rather have #H1N1 again.
