Here's what HHS changed in the COVID-19 vaccine guidance for clinicians on CDC’s website in Sept. Green=similar wording/no change Purple=new wording, w/ an explanation Red=removed entirely This update is from HHS leadership. This post isn’t a critique of the staff still at CDC.

Holy shit FOUR members of the ethics committee in Denmark that gave the green light to allow the widely-condemned RFK Jr-funded trial to proceed in Guinea-Bissau have now resigned in protest This quote is 🔥 Great reporting by @melodyschreiber.com www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Stig Børsen Hansen, a founding member who was one of two reviewers who presented the study to the Danish committee, resigned from the group in protest on Friday, citing major ethical issues with the study. “You are now enrolling newborns in a lottery to test a hypothesis,” Hansen said. The children who are randomly selected not to receive the birth dose of the vaccine, those who “lost the lottery”, face in their earliest days the risk of contracting hepatitis B, which can cause irreversible lifelong damage. “They contract hepatitis B in the context of being part of a research project,” Hansen said, which made their infection happen, in effect, “by design”. Three other members of the committee have also resigned in protest.

RFK Jr is funding a grotesquely unethical study on newborn babies in Guinea-Bissau; ethicists, pediatricians, clinical trial experts, & infectious disease experts are calling this horrific trial The New Tuskegee. It is unethical to withhold a life saving intervention from half of newborns FFS.

γδ T cells don’t fit neatly into the immune system’s traditional categories. Crick and King’s researchers found that these cells use adaptive immune receptors to drive rapid, innate-like responses to tissue stress, inflammation, and cancer. www.crick.ac.uk/news/2026-09...

There were about 16,000 heat-related deaths in Germany last summer, about double the mortality during the first Covid wave in early 2020. Extreme heat needs to be treated as an ongoing public health emergency.

For those rejoiners already on a victory lap, beware the former EU official who told me no action until 75% of the UK public support it happening. Suspect that might be a hard line not shared but don't count on that
