Could chatbots help devise the next pandemic virus?
Tech experts have been sounding the alarm that artificial intelligence (AI) could turn against humanity by taking over everything from business to warfare. Now, Kevin Esvelt is adding another worry: AI could help somebody with no science background and evil intentions design and order a virus capable of unleashing a pandemic. Esvelt, a biosecurity expert at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, recently asked students to create a dangerous virus with the help of ChatGPT or other so-called large language models, systems that can generate humanlike responses to broad questions based on vast training sets of interne...

Underserved population acceptance of combination influenza-COVID-19 booster vaccines
Vaccine. 2021 Dec 7:S0264-410X(21)01597-8. doi: 10.1016/j.vaccine.2021.11.097. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRecent data indicates increasing hesitancy towards both COVID-19 and influenza vaccination. We studied attitudes towards COVID-19 booster, influenza, and combination influenza-COVID-19 booster vaccines in a nationally representative sample of US adults between May and June 2021 (n = 12,887). We used pre-qualification quotes to ensure adequate sample sizes for minority populations. Overall vaccine acceptance was 45% for a COVID-19 booster alone, 58% for an influenza vaccine alone, and 50% for a combination vaccine. L...

Insurance status predicts self-reported influenza vaccine coverage among pregnant women in the United States: A cross-sectional analysis of the National Health Interview Study Data from 2012 to 2018
Vaccine. 2021 Mar 17:S0264-410X(21)00294-2. doi: 10.1016/j.vaccine.2021.03.026. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWhile the influenza vaccine is recommended for all pregnant women, influenza vaccine coverage among this high-risk population remains inadequate. Factors associated with vaccine coverage among pregnant women, including insurance status, are poorly understood. In a cross-sectional study of the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) data from 2012 to 2018, we evaluated predictors of self-reported influenza vaccine coverage in pregnant women. Among 1,942 pregnant women surveyed, 39% reported receiving the influenza v...

Japanese Government Continues to Ban the MMR Vaccine
Conclusion Japanese officials have made decisions that value the health and safety of their citizens when they have removed vaccines with dangerous side effects from their national vaccination program. Japan boasts a low infant mortality rate, despite — or perhaps because of  — mandating only a fraction of the vaccines required by other developed countries, including the United States. If you wish to learn more about the harmful ingredients in vaccines or the potential adverse reactions, we have compiled an easy-to-navigate list of vaccine package inserts from the manufacturers that you can view or download he...
