I just had the pneumococcus vaccine [free for people 65+ in Australia].
It contains sugars from 21 types of pneumococcus, linked to CRM197 — a version of diphtheria toxin that is highly immunogenic, but rendered non-toxic by a single mutation, altering just 1 of 535 amino acids.

I’d rather not keep making similar posts about pertussis, varicella, Meningococcemia, pneumococcus, HiB, etc. But I can and I will if ACIP continues to choose anarchy.

Unfortunately, too many people over 60 have “forgone” their vaccinations. Covid boosters, pneumococcus and flu vaccinations are free in Germany!!!

I hadn't thought about the problem of division site selection in a long time. Really cool to see these new studies shining fresh light on such a fundamental question. Especially checkout this work by @aducret.bsky.social & Christophe Grangeasse: doi.org/10.1038/s415...

An article published in Nature reviews the progress of a new generation of vaccines against pneumococcus ( Streptococcus pneumoniae ) that no longer target the sugar capsule of the bacteria, but rather proteins shared by all its variants .

A relevant corollary to this is the body of literature on how vaccination of children against pneumococcus protects their grandparents against invasive pneumococcal infections.

Mark Hyman is a dangerous enabler of RFK Jr.
He told Bari Weiss:
"The way vaccines are studied is against other vaccines; it's not against a placebo."
This is blatantly false.
Rubella, pneumococcus, Hib, HPV, polio, measles, Tdap, and COVID-19 vaccines have all been tested against placebo.

Every single ER shift .
We all became so efficient at LPs that we could do them in our sleep.
We would bet on the bug before the gram stain report-HFlu, pneumococcus, meningococcus.
They are mostly historical footnotes - ‘cuz vaccines.

Ask a grey-haired pediatrician about how many lumbar punctures they used to have to do in a shift for infants that then ended up having Hib (Haemophilus influenzae type b) meningitis.
Also, if you did not vaccinate your kids, PLEASE do not lie about it if they need care. It is critical information.

I treated very young kids in my ER who had a fever today.
They're too young to realize how lucky they are to be vaccinated.
Their parents were reminded by me of how wise their choices were, though.
Their being vaccinated meant we had to do FAR less testing and extensive treatments than otherwise.
