Lasst Euch bitte auch gegen #Infleunza impfen, auch die Kleinen!

Hier sind zwar zuletzt überwiegend #Covid19 u.d. diesbezügl. #Impfungen Thema, dies liegt jedoch fast ausschließl. daran, dass sie so extrem erschwert zu bekommen sind, u. ein unheimlicher Aufwand betrieben werden muss.

Ja, ein einziges Mal, 1998/99, die #Sydney-Variante. Ganz übel.

Da war ich ein einziges Mal nicht geimpft, weil in damaligem Bund-Arbeitsverhältnis verweigert.

Seitdem immer geimpft, jedes Jahr, konsequent, und nie wieder eine #Influenza gehabt.

Wondering why so many people have mycoplasma (aka walking pneumonia) lately? Here’s a clue.

Just published: after propensity matching, those w/ prior #COVID19 infection were about 3x more likely to get mycoplasma than those without #COVID: www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Antihistaminika, insbesondere Histaminrezeptor-H1 (HRH1)-Antagonisten, hemmen wirksam die #SARSCoV2-Infektion

In dieser Studie wurde „nachgewiesen, dass HRH1 als alternativer Rezeptor für #SARSCoV2 fungiert, indem er direkt an das virale Spike-Protein bindet.🧵

Fig 7 Antihistamine drugs prevented SARS-CoV-2 infection in transgenic hACE2 mice. (A) Acrivastine at serially diluted concentrations was premixed with authentic SARS-CoV-2 D614G viruses, followed by incubation with HEK293T-hACE2 cells. After 48 h, the viral RNA in the supernatants was extracted and quantified via RT-PCR-based detection. The IC50 value was calculated based on the relative number of viral RNA copies within each concentration. (B) The IC50 of triprolidine against the authentic SARS-CoV-2 D614G strain was measured and calculated as described in panel A. (C) Schematic of the animal infection assay. Four transgenic hACE2 mice (C57BL/6) were intravenously administrated with acrivastine at a dosage of 10 mg/kg of body weight. Mice in the control group were administrated with an equal volume of saline. Six hours later, all mice were intranasally challenged with 1 × 105 focus-forming units of the SARS-CoV-2 D614G virus. …

COVID PSA: We now have PEP.

Ensitrelvir (Xocova) can be taken after a known COVID exposure to reduce the risk of developing COVID.

Preventing the infection in the first place also means preventing its potential downstream consequences, including Long COVID.
