This does not mean vaccines are not a great idea. Providing some immunity before an infection can mitigate much of its harm by giving the body a head start in fighting back. It just means their usefulness must be understood in context, as must their harms. Somewhat strangely, discussion of...

"There are additional treatment options available for vaccinated people over age 65, or those with high-risk comorbidities that experience a breakthrough COVID case," Boden-Albala adds. "One of those options is monoclonal antibody treatment; these drugs are administered through an IV that work lik...

Most importantly, circRNAs reportedly play pivotal roles in immune responses by competitively binding double-stranded protein kinase R (PKR), regulating innate immunity (Li and Chen, 2021). Meanwhile, viral infections activate RNase L, which degrades circRNAs, leading to the release of PKR, which ...
Many studies perform limited analysis of innate immunity despite these responses potentially differing as a function of dsRNA molecular weight and age. Therefore fundamental questions relevant to impacts of systemic viral infection on brain function and integrity remain. Here, we studied innate immune-...
The inclusion criteria were structured using Cochrane standard of PICOs: Population: adult and paediatric population with COVID-19; Intervention: high dose of vitamin D supplementation after a SARS-CoV-2 positive test; Comparison: control group without vitamin D supplementation or low dose of vitamin...
In our logistic regression model, older age, HIV infection, and female sex remained independently associated with the number of viral infections after adjusting for ethnicity, tobacco smoking, and region of birth (Figure 7, Table S4). Given the sex association observed, we carried out sex-disaggr...
If your wife was vaccinated while pregnant and/or is breastfeeding, your baby should receive some protection from passive immunity (mom passing antibodies to baby). We also know that if both parents are vaccinated, young children are less likely to get infected. As the Omicron surge winds d...
But even this type of immunity would help reduce outbreaks and make it much easier to manage the disease. We may never eradicate the virus, but vaccines combined with other meds could make it far less dangerous. The whole point of devising therapies for COVID-19 is to prevent complications...
