Danmark ser tidsmæssigt ud til at være lidt bag UK - men der er meget sandsynligt vi også bliver hårdt ramt af influenza - det er stadigt muligt at blive vaccineret hvis man ikke er det! Og overveje at bruge en maske hvis man føler sig sløj, møder sårbare, eller rejser, etc.

This feels like an important breakthrough moment… On the BBC News this evening, Medical Editor Fergus Walsh clearly stated: “As for facemasks, simple surgical masks are *not* good at stopping viruses. You really need a properly fitted tight respirator mask for that”… /1

⚠️Given some of the recent changes that BA.3.2 have picked up (now as RE.2), I am more confident that this will be the next player and will overtake the Pirola lineages that lasted 2 full years, and ran out of steam. 🕑Soon for Europe, a bit later in the US (spring/summer)

I am so hopping mad that twitter is limiting the visibility of this post. Seriously, if you are seeing it, and you appreciate it, please repost it so other people can too. ❤️🙏

Influenza (La grippe) har ramt Frankrig hårdt & sundhedsministeren opfordrer til at man bliver vaccineret og overvejer at bruge masker - det er sandsynligt at Danmark også får et problem - hvis du vil vaccineres så er det nu - vaccinationsstederne lukker 20 dec.

The fireworks in your mind. 🧠✨ This sparkling video shows the neurotransmitter glutamate being released into synapses, made possible by an indicator developed by Abhi Aggarwal, Kaspar Podgorski, and team. #HappyNewYear #NYE

Det er en rigtig god ide at vaccinere mod skoldkopper - udover at beskytte børn mod skoldkopper vil det at undgå infektion med VZV virus også forhindre helvedsild senere i livet - og sandsynligvis nedsætte risikoen for demens. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Vaccination can benefit older adults too - interesting summary of what we know so far - it is a public health benefit worth consideration Explore this gift article from The New York Times. You can read it for free without a subscription. nytimes.com/2026/01/03/hea…

This video is one of the first times I thought biology was “cool.” It shows a neutrophil cell chasing a bacterium. Originally recorded in the 1950s by David Rogers at Vanderbilt University, the video gave me a deeper appreciation for life, even at the level of a single cell,

Endnu flere studier der viser en god effekt af skoldkoppevaccination - hele livet! Vi kan vaccinere vores børn (og os selv senere i livet) - vaccinerne findes og er gennemprøvede og sikre.
