SARS-Cov-2 infection in newborns: cord blood IgA/IgM suggest in utero infection is more common than previously thought

And this needs to be considered too:

I might be wrong, but I suspect they had already made their decision long time ago

The amazing adventures of Syrgo and BC Together, BC and Syrgo educate readers on why vaccines are one of the most important advances in disease prevention and control, detailing how they are made and why they are an effective and life-savi...

Still on #HPV and vaccination, here is an excellent educative comic book to explain the importance of vaccination to 9-12 years old (the ideal age to receive the HPV vaccine). Volume 2 is dedicated to HPV and cancer.

#MIMG-XL102 Today we talk about #HPV #vaccines and their impact on #cancer. Here is just one recent study on cervical cancer following >100,000 women (!) in the Netherlands 🇳🇱.

Cord blood IgA/M reveals in utero response to SARS-CoV-2 with fluctuations in relation to circulating variants - Nature Communications Here the authors test 1405 remnant cord blood samples and find SARS-CoV-2 specific fetal IgA and/or IgM antibodies in 28.7% of samples, showing in utero exposure to SARS-CoV-2. The prevalence of fetal...

So here is something that should be part of the conversation

And there is this:

#Measles almost completely disappeared from the US with #vaccination
Here is the data, state by state, from 1932 to 2002. Unfortunately we might loose the elimination status this year

Note: this is the real Measles (Morbillivirus), not the German measles or 3-days measles (Rubivirus)

#MIMG-XL102 Look at these plaques made by #bacteriophages 😍

#MIMG-XL102 This week we work on #bacteriophages ! We already saw a few example of bacteriophages used as tool for research, and here is an other example. And there are more!
