Unbelievable news. Pancreatic is one of the deadliest cancers. New paper shows personalized mRNA vaccines can induce durable T cells that attack pancreatic cancer, with 75% of patients cancer free at three years—far, far better than standard of care. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It matters that scientists speak out against what is being done to US science. Staying silent is neither "objective" nor "staying out of politics". Silence now *is* political - it supports the status quo, says "nothing to worry about". We need to sound the alarm. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I have insomnia a lot lately so may as well share what’s literally keeping me up at night. It’s a long list but tonight it’s flu. Yes, H5N1, but also seasonal flu. Firing federal scientists brings a flu-filled future. Have you ever wondered how flu vaccine strains are chosen?

100% d'accord.

There’s been so much interest in from US 🇺🇸health workers and jobs in Canada that I’m posting recruitment links for all 10 provinces and 3 territories: 🧵 #healthcarejobs🇨🇦

If we think political borders and species-barriers will protect us from avian flu, we’re in for a rude surprise

How good is the flu 💉 so far? 👇🏼Pretty darn good: overall, vaccine effectiveness is ~53-54% (higher in older adults). This means that the risk for acute respiratory illness is ⬇️ by HALF: www.eurosurveillance.org/content/10.2...

@charlesgaba.com is a hero and downloaded CDC’s entire website. A small group of us has come together to preserve this critical resource and make it accessible to the scientific community. More to come. These data are public and they are ours. Deletion disobedience is one way to fight back.

If you know COVID conscious people who live in Québec, tag them under this post. Let's build a community. Si vous connaissez des Québécois.es conscients des ravages que continue à affliger ce virus (et qui agissent en conséquence), taguez-les ici. On les ajoutera la liste.

Near the end of my clinical service. Lots of microbiologically-confirmed Flu A out there, bringing people into hospital.

Wow, big surprise. It turns out that getting sick more often does *not* make you stronger, but actually weakens you and makes you more prone to illness. The idea that 'kids just need to be exposed to bugs' needs to die. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...
