A new drug for influenza
A new drug has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of influenza. Called Xofluza (baloxavir carboxyl), it is the first influenza drug approved in 20 years with a new mechanism of action. How does Xofluza work? Influenza virus particles contain (-) RNAs, which means that they cannot be translated […]

An easy method for preventing the flu
Thanks to Lori, this morning I read a very interesting article in Forbes magazine about how to (help) prevent getting the flu AND how to lower hospital infections.
Such a simple, easy thing we can all do…
Have a look: http://bit.ly/31RP6QT
Very very interesting…makes sense, too!

Stomach flu
A couple of weeks ago I came down with a nasty case of viral gastroenteritis, more commonly known as the stomach flu. No idea how I got it…but…I got it. Well, at least Covid wasn’t involved in my case; my family doctor told me that a (small) percentage of his patients with my symptoms had turned up positive for Covid. That would have been a most unwelcome double whammy!
Petunia, October 2022
Anyway, I was quite sick for about a week, sleeping most of the time, eating nothing but bananas and toast, and watching heaps of TV series and documentaries…The cats were very helpful nurses, always by my side,...

Human infections with influenza H5N1 virus: How many?
The lethality of avian influenza H5N1 infections in humans has been a matter of extensive debate. The >50% case fatality rate established by WHO is high, but the lethality of the virus might be lower if there are many infections accompanied by mild or no disease. One way to answer this question is to determine how many individuals carry antibodies to the virus in populations that are at risk for infection. A number of such studies have been done, and some have concluded that the results imply a low but substantial level of infection (even less than one percent of millions of people is a lot of infections). The conclusio...

How a toupee compromised influenza vaccine
The influenza virus vaccine is frequently updated to ensure that it protects against infection with circulating virus strains. In some years the vaccine matches the circulating strains, but in others, there is a mismatch. The result is that the vaccine is less effective at protecting from infection. During the 2014-15 influenza season there was a […]

TWiV 495: Influenza virus keeps its ion channel 20

How Scientists Use Statistical Deception to Fake Influenza Vaccine Effectiveness
Statistical manipulation misinforms people by use of false measurements. Vaccine scientists often conceal the true effectiveness of the influenza vaccine through risk calculations. Researchers use a calculation that essentially artificially inflates the effectiveness of influenza vaccines. Rather than use the statistical measure that more truthfully represents vaccine effectiveness, the researchers choose to use a statistical […]

Avian influenza (Vogelgriep)
Just discovered this official Dutch government site, in (of course) Dutch, which has a complete record of the affected sites in the Netherlands, (go to Overzicht or Inhoud, then Locaties vogelgriep), as well as news and links to official publications. As well as sites where the virus has been found, it also lists places that have been investigated but nothing found, so not every place listed has had the virus.I can find nothing new about avian influenza in the UK. The UK government site about the discovery of the virus in Yorkshire was updated today (3rd December) but that seems to be relating to rules ab...
