Childhood vaccinations have been in use for a long time, an example is the MMR vaccine against Measles, Mumps and Rubella. These vaccines are offered in early life. This may have consequences for the level of antibodies transferred during and after pregnancy.
2/9

The authors did not find differences in antibody levels and halflives in mums and babies between the general population and the religious population regarding Mumps antibodies (25.3 and 10.1% vax rate).

4/9

This may be the case because antibodies wean and immunity protects against transfer, infection and frequently less robust responses are required upon reinfection.

This is a cross-sectional serologic survey 7904 subjects (32.7% of invited), conducted in NL during 2006–2007.
3/9

For Measles (51.1% and 12.6% vax rate), and Rubella (65.6% and 17.2% vax rate), mums in the general population had lower levels of antibodies (4x and 55x), despite higher vax rate. As a result, babies get less antibodies and may be susceptible to infection sooner.

5/9

Most likely, the exposure rate between non-vaccinated communities, with more children, less protection, and vaccinated communities with fewer children, more protection, is different.
7/9

There are 3 considerations. Protection of infants wanes well before the first vaccination (14 months) leaving them more exposed than is ideal.

What about the lower level of antibodies? Do vaccines induce fewer antibodies compared to infection? There is no evidence for this.

How PhD students and other academics are fighting the mental-health crisis in science

Universities and institutions across the globe are exploring unique initiatives to help their students and staff cope with the stress of research.

The HPV vaccine not only prevents cervical cancer but reduces the risk of multiple other cancers and even pre-malignant lesions

It needs to be spelled out, these are the facts in our shared reality. Vaccinations prevent disease and death and cause long healthy lives.

The HPV vaccine reduces risk of cancer for all, not just women, new data show—so why isn't everyone rushing to get it?

Because it needs to be said, it is what the data shows.

Hospital admissions (With SARS-CoV-2 infection) remain low and has been at its lowest, especially compared with the previous years and the end of year high infection peak. With more circulating, this is expected to go up. It will be the more vulnerable groups who are at risk.
3/3

Symptomatic flu-like cases remain low, with Rhinoviruses the most encountered infection.

Wastewater SARS-CoV-2 levels in The Netherlands till week 23.
There is a slight upturn. This may be explained by waning of the last wave and vaccine campagne which is 5-7 months in the past, as well as circumvention of early capture by new KP.2/.3 variants.

Covid-19: number of infections has increased

The increase in Covid-19 cases is expected to continue due to the celebrations of popular saints. But “mortality is within expected standards and there is no alarm signal”, says the experts.

3/3

There is no health crisis, hospitals are not full, there is no emergency, there is no call for additional measures. The last vaccine round for vulnerable groups was September-November 2023, we now have more distant variants. Unfortunately some deaths due to/with COVID-19.
2/3

A lot of posts about "COVID-19 surge" in Portugal.

This seems a misunderstanding. There is an increase in SARS-CoV-2 infections. This is not the same as COVID-19.
The increase is relative. From nearly nothing to some, and does not compare to previous waves (data 12/06/2024)

1/3

In the past year, there was an upturn in some seasonal infections, and we hear this now again. Terms of immune debt and immune gap are mentioned. What is this?

First note the upturn of only some and seasonal, infections. This is not a general thing.

Important: Rather than some new phenomenon, this increase likely represents a return to an unfortunate normal after a lull in cases during the early years of the pandemic.

Don´t spread nonsense about immune issues, but encourage vaccination.

Pertussis Cases are Rising Sharply in 2024

As the pandemic “winds down”, cases of whooping cough are on the rise in dramatic fashion.

bloodcloth effects with the vector (not mRNA) vaccines was discovered. Note these effects were there within 14-days after vaccination.

So no, all those arguments about not knowing long-term effects are really not as strong as you may think, they indicate lack of knowledge.
10/10

Some side effects are extremely rare. A phase 3 trial has 10.000s participants. That is not enough to catch rare events that happen 1 in 100.000 or 1 in 1M. That is why, all medication, is monitored in phase 4: when the vaccine is in use. And yes, that works, the 1/1M
