Are Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) Antibodies Friends or Foes for Covid-19 Disease?
This study focused on the association between measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) antibodies titre and the severity of COVID-19 infection. We aimed to investi gate the correlation between the antibody’s titre of MMR and the SARS-CoV-2 infection susceptibility and disease severity, in a cohort of COVID-19 Egyptian patients, compared to a control group. MMR antibody titre was measured using enzyme Linked Immune Sorbent Assay; (ELISA) for 136 COVID-19 pati ents and 44 healthy individuals, as control group. There were high levels of measles and mumps antibodies titer in the deteriorating cases, which could not protect from SARS-CoV-...

Modeling and leveraging intuitive theories to improve vaccine attitudes.
Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, Vol 152(5), May 2023, 1379-1395; doi:10.1037/xge0001324Much of the richness of human thought is supported by people’s intuitive theories—mental frameworks capturing the perceived structure of the world. But intuitive theories can also contain and reinforce dangerous misconceptions. In this paper, we take up the case of misconceptions about vaccine safety that discourages vaccination. These misconceptions constitute a major public health risk that predates the coronavirus pandemic but that has become all the more dire in recent years. We argue that addressing such misconcepti...

Myocarditis update from Sweden
BY ANISH KOKA The COVID19/vaccine myocarditis debate continues in large part because our public health institutions are grossly mischaracterizing the risks and benefits of vaccines to young people. A snapshot of what the establishment says as it relates to the particular area of concern: college vaccine mandates: Dr. Arthur Reingold, an epidemiology professor at UC-Berkeley, notes that UC also requires immunizations for measles and chickenpox, and people still are dying from COVID at rates that exceed those for influenza. As of Feb. 1, there were more than 400 COVID deaths a day across the U.S. “The arg...

Epidemiological features and risk factors for measles and rubella in Taiwan during 2011 to 2020
This study used the open data website provided by the Taiwan Centers for Disease Control (TCDC) to extract the reported numbers of measles and rubella case between 2011 and 2020. There were 306 cases of measles and 135 cases of rubella. The incidence of measles and rubella per million population were 0 to 6.0 and 0 to 2.6, respectively. There was a gradual increase in the numbers of cases in those aged 20–39 years, and distinct duration patterns. It indicated that the risk of contracting rubella has significantly decreased in the last 5 years. Measles cases aged 20 to 39 years accounted for 72.5% of all cases. Rubella ca...

COVID-19 Mass Vaccination and Flu season: Concern for Decreased Public Health Measures and worsening the influenza situation
Infect Disord Drug Targets. 2022 Sep 3. doi: 10.2174/1871526522666220903145208. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTReports show that other ordinary childhood infections like measles or Influenza are likely to reemerge. The re-emergence of infectious diseases may happen due to the direct impact of the pandemic on the community because of decreased access to health and medical services, interrupted transport systems, weaknesses in the supply chain, flight restrictions, closings of the border, and international trade problems. The most prevalent cause [60.9%] for low vaccine uptake and coverage during the current pandemic was fear...

Vaccine-associated enhanced disease in humans and animal models: Lessons and challenges for vaccine development
The fight against infectious diseases calls for the development of safe and effective vaccines that generate long-lasting protective immunity. In a few situations, vaccine-mediated immune responses may have led to exacerbated pathology upon subsequent infection with the pathogen targeted by the vaccine. Such vaccine-associated enhanced disease (VAED) has been reported, or at least suspected, in animal models, and in a few instances in humans, for vaccine candidates against the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), measles virus (MV), dengue virus (DENV), HIV-1, simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV), feline immunodeficiency viru...
