In a recent interview, Fauci puts the C19 herd immunity fantasy to bed once and for all. No such thing can ever be achieved, due to lack of immune response durability

Study in Nepal identified new inhibitors for SARS-CoV-2’s 3CLpro protein using machine learning, screening 10 million compounds. 3 compounds advanced to simulations; M1 showed stable binding and similar effectiveness to nirmatrelvir. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

A study from the University Hospital of Bern found that SARS-CoV-2 replicates in the placenta in 61 infected pregnancies, with severe cases showing higher replication. In 3 stillbirths, intense viral replication was linked to fetal death. frontiersin.org/journals/medic…

microRNAs regulate COVID-19 severity by impacting viral replication and host immune response, offering potential biomarkers for disease progression. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

A 3-year study in Rome, Italy followed 1,319 children after SARS-CoV-2 infection. It found that 23.2% had Long Covid at 3 months, with symptoms lasting up to 36 months in some. thelancet.com/journals/eclin…

Researchers in China developed a sensor that detects SARS-CoV-2 in under 5 minutes at 40 fM concentration, and 1 aM (0.6 copies/µL) in 25 minutes with amplification. opg.optica.org/boe/fulltext.c…

A study of 2454 COVID-19 patients at Shanxi Bethune Hospital found sivelestat reduced 30-day mortality by 88.45% in severe cases, improved oxygenation, and lowered IL-1β, IL-2, and IFNα levels. cell.com/heliyon/fullte…

A Spanish study with 134 participants tested an online rehab program for Long COVID, showing a 1.98 point improvement in mental health-related quality of life after 3 months compared to the control group. archpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

In Portugal, a study involving 552 people revealed that Long COVID symptoms varied significantly at 9 and 12 months. Four distinct clusters were found, with memory loss and fatigue being common. Neurocognitive issues increased over time. bmcinfectdis.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

A study of 7,598 people tested how Casirivimab (CAS) and Imdevimab (IMD) / REGEN-COV work in the body. Researchers found that body weight and blood protein levels (serum albumin) most affect how much of the drug stays in your system. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

A study from Milan and Rome found that thalidomide reduces ACE2, the receptor COVID-19 uses to infect cells, while also lowering inflammation, suggesting potential for treating COVID-19. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

A study in Nagasaki with 77 mice found that a new vaccine targeting SIGN-R1+ macrophages cleared SARS-CoV-2 using low-frequency CD8+ T cells, reducing viral load and improving survival. Even small immune responses matter for virus elimination. nature.com/articles/s4154…

Study at the Medical University of Gdansk, Poland, on 33 long COVID patients: Microvascular function was impaired but improved after 3 months of treatment with ACE inhibitors and beta-blockers. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

A study in California surveyed 2,883 people who had COVID. It found that 20.9% experienced incomplete recovery and 4.9% had severe long COVID. Those who were vaccinated had significantly lower rates of long COVID. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Wow...this is a breath of fresh air. CDC 24h fever guidelines still make little sense to me. washingtonpost.com/health/interac…

A 2020 retrospective study linked raccoon dogs and civets at Wuhan’s Huanan market to SARS-CoV-2, suggesting they may have sparked the virus’s spillover to humans. cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Virology has advanced in 50 years but faces new challenges after COVID-19. Future focus on cataloging virus diversity, AI predictions, climate impacts, and viruses in chronic disease. Global cooperation is key for future pandemic preparedness. cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Thank you for calling out ME/CFS and Long COVID.

I recently read Fauci’s book, and after being part of the #longCOVID community for a while, it’s clear that history is repeating itself. Why has the NIH learned, but the U.S. FDA hasn’t? It’s time for stronger action. youtube.com/watch?v=64IUEF…
