Clarifying COVID-19 (aka yes, cuz all these sites want to hurt people 🙄)

Cancer vaccines have gained much interest among scientists but face a number of hurdles. A new mRNA vaccine for glioma offers a step forward in training the immune system to fight cancer.

An international study of around 99 million people confirmed known serious side effects of COVID-19 vaccination. It also identified a possible relationship between the first dose of the Moderna vaccine and a small risk of a neurological condition. Social media posts about the study left out information on the vaccines' benefits and the rarity of the side effects.

Misinformation is being spewed, weaponized, and consumed at a deadly rate. Fortunately, there's a way out. Here's how to make sense of what you're seeing.

Naturally occurring “zombie or senescent cells” are being produced at an accelerated rate due to Covid-19, according to a recent study.

Scientists have announced a major discovery that has profound importance for our understanding of brain fog and cognitive decline seen in some patients with Long COVID. The findings showed that there was disruption to the integrity of the blood vessels in the brains of patients suffering from Long COVID and brain fog. This blood vessel 'leakiness' was able to objectively distinguish those patients with brain fog and cognitive decline compared to patients suffering from Long-COVID but not with brain fog.

In the meantime, here's how to protect yourself from ticks. The post A Lyme Disease Vaccine Is Coming—Here’s What You Need to Know appeared first on Reader's Digest Canada.

An experimental mRNA vaccine provides protection in preclinical animal models against infection from Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacteria that causes Lyme disease. Results suggest that the vaccine prevents the development of Lyme disease.

A recent study led by researchers from the University of Tokyo has shed light on the intricate web of factors contributing to vaccine hesitancy and resistance. The study identifies online political engagement, conspiracy theories, and spirituality as significant influences shaping anti-vaccine beliefs.

Largest Study Yet on Vaccine Side Effects Shows Increased Risk, But Covid Poses Greater Danger.

One type of flu virus has gone missing for so long, it doesn’t make sense to vaccinate against it.

What is the appeal of conspiracy theories, and how is it that they entrap our friends, coworkers, or family members? Political polarization and the rise of social media have generated an unprecedented amount of seemingly absurd misinformation, yet many real people fall for it, and a seemingly endless supply of grifters are ready to exploit them. In this episode, Adam speaks with award-winning author Naomi Klein about what led us to this moment and what hope we have of extricating loved ones who've fallen prey to conspiracy.

It's not uncommon to believe conspiracy theories, and surveys show that many Americans believe in at least one of them. But what happens when those beliefs go too far?

There’s so much at stake with this study.

A trio of researchers claimed they found likely evidence that the virus that causes Covid-19 was synthetic. And then scientists went to work picking the theory apart.

The use of fact-checking services spikes during major news events. Fortunately, the fact checkers have generally agreed in their assessments of whether news claims are true or false, according to researchers from the Penn State College of Information Sciences and Technology (IST).

A new, rigorous study sheds light on 5 top causes.
