This thread is about alpha-gal syndrome (AGS) - meat allergy induced by tick bites. I’ve been living with AGS for >2 yrs. I hope this info will help those who suffer from this illness without knowing the cause. Please help bring awareness to #AGS (1/n)

Congratulations to @FabrizioChiodo and colleagues who worked so hard to develop conjugate vaccine against COVID-19 in Cuba 🇨🇺 Now with [RBD-TT]➡️ [RBD-TT] ➡️ [RBD-RBD] shots, efficacy is 91.2% 👏🏼 👏🏼
Adding this vaccine strategy as another success story in the fight against COVID! twitter.com/FabrizioChiodo…

Such an honor to discuss with Prof. Ron Davis of @StanfordMed about #MECFS - metabolism, chemistry, viruses and immunology!
Start of a great collaboration.

Latest preprint by @tianyangmao et al shows that a stem-loop RNA RIG-I agonist in mice can
1) Block viral replication and disease when given early after SARS-CoV-2 infection (including VOCs)
2)Eliminate chronic infection in immunodeficient mice

A new study by @YaleSPH @ChenKai_yale & team shows that SARS-CoV-2’s reproductive number is attributable to seasonal factors; temperature (3.73%), humidity (9.35%) and UV radiation (4.44%).
We need to vaccinate before the cold, dry, dark winter hits.

It’s finally happening! I will be giving a talk today at the #AAI2021 with Dr. Fauci and Dr. Saif in the session, COVID-19 and the Science of Pandemics (12-2PM ET).
My talk will be on “Protective vs. harmful immune responses in COVID-19”. See you there!

So wonderful to see this work published! Timing is everything when it comes to immune control of COVID. Neutralizing antibody production is delayed in lethal COVID. By the brilliant @carolilucas @sneakyvirus1 & #YaleIMPACT team 💪🏼(1/n) twitter.com/NatureMedicine…

After many months of planning and hard work by so many (incl. @hmkyale @dianaberrent @wade_schulz @CharleszYaleMed @aaronmring @DaisySMassey @JeffGehlhausen), today, we are launching our research study to understand how vaccination may help improve #longcovid. 🧵 (1/n)
Pls RT🙏🏼

What an amazing report to wake up to! Pfizer vaccine provided 100% protection in 12-15 year olds (18 cases of infection in the placebo group, and 0 among the children who received the vaccine). The n is small, but gives me so much hope for school opening in the near future. A++ twitter.com/apoorva_nyc/st…

How does COVID reinfection happen?
Our deep dive into the immune profiles during the 1st and 2nd infections. A case study.
