Incidentally (bc this matters), one of the people convicted of seditious conspiracy WAS pardoned: Enrique Tarrio (he claimed prosecutors asked him to flip on Trump).
DAY 1 January 20, 2025 On Trump’s first day in office, the president signed a flurry of executive orders, 26 in all, withdrawing the US from the World Health Organization and the Paris climate agreement, rescinding birthright citizenship, sending troops to the southern border, freezing foreign aid, and stopping federal hiring. Then Trump issued pardons to almost everyone convicted in the bloody January 6, 2021, assault on the Capitol, in which nine people ultimately died and 150 were injured. Even rioters who’d beaten cops within an inch of their lives were set free. (Fourteen people convicted of seditious conspiracy had their sentences commuted.)

New antibiotics hailed as ‘turning point’ in treating drug-resistant gonorrhoea

First new treatments for sexually transmitted disease in decades approved by US Food and Drug Administration as number of cases worldwide surge to 82m The first new treatments for gonorrhoea in decades could be a “huge turning point” in efforts to combat the rise of superbug strains of the bacteria, researchers have said. Gonorrhoea is on the rise around the world, with more than 82m infections globally each year and particularly high rates in Africa and countries in the World Health Organization’s Western Pacific region, which reaches from Mongolia and China to New Zealand. Cases in England are at a record high, and rates in Europe were three times higher in 2023 than in 2014. Continue reading...

This state of the art review summarises recent political action, policy prioritisation, and identification of future threats in antimicrobial use and resistance www.bmj.com/content/391/...
Estimated antimicrobial resistance associated mortality for World Health Organization critical priority pathogens in 2021, including carbapenem resistant Acinetobacter baumannii and carbapenem or cephalosporin resistant Enterobacterales. Mortality data came from the Measuring Infectious Causes and Resistance Outcomes for Burden Estimation (MICROBE) platform. All Enterobacterales present in the dataset are represented, including Citrobacter spp, Enterobacter spp (carbapenem resistance only), Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Morganella spp (third generation cephalosporin resistance only), Proteus spp (third generation cephalosporin resistance only), Serratia spp. Third generation cephalosporin resistance was assumed to be coexistent with carbapenem resistance in most cases; consequently, the larger mortality value was used between third generation cephalosporin resistance and carbapenem resistance to avoid duplication

#Vaccination is effective against clinical disease caused by #influenza A(H3N2) A study from the UK found the typical range of #vaccine effectiveness in line with age groups (2−12 years, 18−64 years & ≥ 65 years) against emergency department attendance or #hospitalisation #IDSky #MedSky #EpiSky 🛟

Early influenza virus characterisation and vaccine effectiveness in England in autumn 2025, a period dominated by influenza A(H3N2) subclade K

Influenza A(H3N2) subclade K (J.2.4.1) has dominated the 2025/26 season start in England. Post-infection ferret antisera raised against northern hemisphere 2025/26 vaccine strains showed reduced reactivity to subclade K viruses in England, aligning with World Health Organization reports. Nevertheless, early post-vaccination, vaccine effectiveness against influenza-related emergency department attendances and hospital admissions remained within typical ranges, at 72–75% in children and adolescents (< 18 years) and 32–39% in adults. Hence, vaccination remains effective against clinical disease caused by influenza A(H3N2) viruses.

#Influenza and #COVID19 vaccines prevent hospitalizations and deaths. That’s why WHO recommends seasonal influenza and COVID-19 vaccination for people at risk of severe disease.

LONDON, Dec 4 (Reuters) - Malaria killed around 610,000 people in 2024, mostly young children in sub-Saharan Africa, the World Health Organization said on Thursday, warning of the risks of rising drug resistance, climate change and funding cuts.

With the tools we have today, no one should die from #malaria. But cases are rising again. In 2024, 282 million people were infected and 610 000 died, mostly young children in Africa. ⚠️ Drug resistance ⚠️ Conflict ⚠️ Climate shocks ⚠️ Funding gaps are stalling progress to #EndMalaria. 🔗bit.ly/3Y6IcXn
Illustration showing an hourglass with sand running out and a stopwatch icon. Text reads: “Every minute, 1 person loses their life to malaria.” Beside a blue outline map of Africa, additional text reads: “95% of these deaths occur in the African region.”
