Baseline immune states (BIS) associated with vaccine responsiveness and factors that shape the BIS
Semin Immunol. 2023 Sep 15;70:101842. doi: 10.1016/j.smim.2023.101842.

Yet, the effectiveness of vaccines varies among individuals. In fact, while some recipients mount a robust response to vaccination that protects them from the disease, others fail to respond. Multiple clinical and epidemiological factors contribute to this heterogeneity in responsiveness. Systems immunology studies fueled by advances in...

Africa: Vaccine Hesitancy 'Widens Immunity Gaps, Increases Risk of Outbreaks'
[allAfrica] In 1999, Grade 5 brought for me a revelation like no other - vaccines! The idea that weak disease-causing organisms could transform our bodies into warriors against killer diseases was nothing short of miraculous. From the top of my head I remember that some of the killer diseases were polio, diptheria, measles, whooping cough, tetanus and tuberculosis.

Robert F Kennedy Jr. Is Dead Wrong About Vaccines
Joe Rogan, America’s most popular podcaster, recently called for Professor Peter Hotez, an internationally recognized pediatric infectious disease doctor and vaccine scientist, to come on his podcast to debate Robert F.

Hotez declined—instead offering to be a guest on Rogan’s show to discuss vaccine science.
Hotez is right not to take the bait. Rogan is unqualified to moderate such a debate, and has himself peddled disinformation about...

In Africa, doubts about vaccines grew during pandemic, survey finds
Public confidence in vaccines has declined across sub-Saharan Africa since the COVID-19 pandemic, new research shows.

The survey also revealed growing doubts about the safety and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines and other immunizations in some nations and subnational regions.
The trends represent “an early warning signal” for efforts to widely vaccinate children and adults, says Charles Shey ...
