Very interesting findings about measles in this news report. A study found that 70% of infants had NO remaining antibodies by the time they were just 4 months old. Only about 18% had antibodies at 7 months. Are we waiting too long to vaccinate at 12 months? www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

I wish the world would respond in a way that decreased infections (HEPA filters, masks, supported sick leave from work and school, etc). How much healthier we’d be. Better quality of life and longer lives. But I know we won’t.

I'm going to be giving a talk to local teachers about ADHD. I'll cover causes, brain basics, accommodations, and medical treatments. A take home point I want to push is the importance of teachers talking to families. Any teachers out there with a helpful script that avoids crossing legal lines?

If you're not doing these recommended hours of physical activity, you meet the new high risk criteria for COVID vaccination. Talk to your doctor about Z72.3. cdn.who.int/media/images...

The limitations to using the Novovax vaccine only in those 12-64 yrs with underlying conditions placing them at high risk, but not defining which conditions qualify, is going to be problematic. Many people have conditions that are listed as high risk, but which of these count & will insurance cover?
