Texas measles outbreak update: 124 cases, 18 hospitalized, & now the first death of a child, who was not vaccinated. Tragic, preventable, & a direct consequence of the deadly lies spread by anti-vaxx grifters, one of whom is now the most powerful health official in the US.

New approach: Nanobody inhibitors that target Ebolavirus are under development at Univ of Minnesota. Nanobodies are tiny antibodies from animals like alpacas allowing access to viral regions too small for larger antibodies. This one blocks EBV's ability to enter human cells phys.org/news/2025-01...
