Scientists at Stanford Medicine have unveiled a bold new kind of “universal” vaccine that could one day protect against everything from COVID-19 and the flu to bacterial pneumonia and even common allergens. Instead of targeting a specific virus or bacterium, the nasal spray vaccine supercharges the lungs’ own immune defenses, keeping them on high alert for months. In mice, it slashed viral levels, prevented severe illness, and even blocked allergic reactions.

Covid-19 is not just a respiratory infection. Cardiovascular symptoms are seen in both acute and long covid. Katharine Lang reports on what we’ve learnt since the onset of the pandemic Cardiovascular complications from covid-19 have been seen widely since the early days of the pandemic, when a small study in Wuhan reported myocardial injury in several patients.1 Soon after, studies found that up to 30% of those admitted to intensive care units showed myocardial injury.23 “In many respects covid-19 is a vascular disease masquerading as a respiratory one,” says Andy Benest, vascular biologist at the University of Nottingham. Although covid is transmitted through the respiratory system, much of the pathology unfolds in the vascular system, with microvascular damage, thromboinflammation, and dysregulated perfusion underpinning the cardiac, pulmonary, and neurological manifestations of severe disease. “The virus enters through the airways but exerts its systemic effects through the vasculature, the common denominator in the lungs, heart, kidneys, and brain,” Benest tells The BMJ . Cardiovascular complications are relatively common in the acute phase of covid. Studies have found that acute cardiac injury occurred in 6-25% of people admitted to hospital with covid.4 One 2020 study reported that 14.1% of people admitted to hospital with covid experienced some type of cardiovascular complication.5 Early studies suggested that the endothelium …

The increased size of, and lesser blood supply to, a key brain structure in patients with Long COVID tracks with known blood markers of Alzheimer’s disease and greater levels of dementia, a new study finds.

"Study shows impaired energy metabolism in the brains of people with post-COVID" Brain fog, poor concentration and slowed thinking in Long COVID patients are linked to altered brain energy metabolism, with MRI studies showing changes that correlate with worse cognitive test performance.

Anti-vaxxers claim Big Pharma profits immensely from vaccines. However, there will be greater profits treating vaccine-preventable diseases.

Aluminum salts have been used as adjuvants in vaccines for nearly a century, enhancing the immune response to purified antigens and ensuring durable protection against serious infectious diseases. Despite their longstanding record of safety and effectiveness, aluminum adjuvants have become a focus of public concern, with claims linking them to developmental, neurologic, allergic, and autoimmune diseases. This review summarizes the immunologic rationale for aluminum adjuvants and evaluates the evidence for proposed safety risks. Aluminum salts have consistently been demonstrated over nearly a century of use to enhance the immune responses elicited by vaccines while also being well-tolerated by nearly all who take them. Pharmacokinetic studies show that aluminum released from intramuscular vaccines is slowly absorbed and efficiently cleared by the kidneys, contributing minimally to systemic levels. Large-scale clinical and epidemiologic studies consistently demonstrate no association between aluminum-adjuvanted vaccines and autism spectrum disorder, neurotoxicity, allergic disease, or autoimmune disease. Clinically, vaccines adjuvanted solely with aluminum salts generally do not result in systemic reactogenicity, though local reactions are common. Collectively, the evidence strongly supports the safety of aluminum adjuvants and their necessity in certain vaccines. Clinicians can reassure caregivers that aluminum-containing vaccines provide clear benefits, with risks largely limited to transient local reactions and no systemic toxicity signal in large clinical and epidemiologic studies.
