Dr. Anthony Fauci Tests Positive for COVID-19 With Mild Symptoms
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the face of America’s pandemic response through two White House administrations, has tested positive for the coronavirus.
The 81-year-old Fauci, who is fully vaccinated and has received two booster shots, was experiencing mild COVID-19 symptoms, according to a statement Wednesday from the National Institutes of Health.
Fauci has not recently been in close contact with President Joe Biden or other senior government officials. He tested positive on a rapid antigen test. He is following public health guidelines and his doctor’s advice, and will return to work at the NIH when he tests negative, a...

U.S. moves to stop Alaska copper mine
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is moving to block construction of a massive copper and gold mine that would risk polluting the headwaters of Alaska’s Bristol Bay, home to the world’s largest sockeye salmon runs. EPA announced last week it plans to forbid dis...

Tim Kaine Refuses to Let Long COVID Be an Afterthought
When Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine came down with a “blizzard” of allergy-like symptoms in March 2020, he blamed the layer of pollen coating his car. “It was Washington, D.C., in late March,” he says. I thought, “‘Okay, well, this is hay fever gone wild.’”
Only when his wife, Anne Holton, developed “textbook” COVID-19 symptoms did Kaine start to wonder if he might have the new virus, the subject of the massive economic assistance bill—the CARES Act—that he and other lawmakers were then working to pass. Testing at that time was hard to come by, even for Hill...

Defining the risk of SARS-CoV-2 variants on immune protection
We report the development of reagents, methodologies, models, and pivotal findings facilitated by this collaborative approach and identify future challenges. This program serves as a template for the response against rapidly evolving pandemic pathogens by monitoring viral evolution in the human population to identify variants that could erode the effectiveness of countermeasures.PMID:35361968 | DOI:10.1038/s41586-022-04690-5

With All Eyes on BA.2, Here ’s What Experts Say Might Happen in the U.S.
For the last two years, the U.S. has been stuck in a cycle of COVID-19 case spikes and lulls. Cases rise dramatically, then drop off—and the process repeats.
Several times, these surges have been preceded by rising case rates in Europe—such as before last year’s Delta wave and the start of last winter’s Omicron spike—which is why experts have been carefully monitoring a recent increase in cases there. More than 5.2 million COVID-19 infections were reported across Europe during the week ending March 20, according to World Health Organization data, and countries including the U.K. have also repo...

NIH Policies and Regulatory Pathways to U.S. FDA licensure: Strategies to Inform Advancement of Radiation Medical Countermeasures and Biodosimetry Devices
Radiat Res. 2022 Feb 3. doi: 10.1667/RADE-21-00198.1. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe Radiation and Nuclear Countermeasures Program within the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), is tasked with the mandate of identifying biodosimetry tests to assess exposure and medical countermeasures (MCMs) to mitigate/treat injuries to individuals exposed to significant doses of ionizing radiation from a radiological/nuclear incident, hosted. To fulfill this mandate, the Radiation and Nuclear Countermeasures Program (RNCP), hosted a workshop in 2018 workshop entitled "Policies and Regulatory Pathways to U.S....

U.S. Government Recommends Americans Get the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna COVID-19 Shots Instead of J & J ’s
Most Americans should be given the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines instead of the Johnson & Johnson shot that can cause rare but serious blood clots, U.S. health advisers recommended Thursday.
The strange clotting problem has caused nine confirmed deaths after J&J vaccinations — while the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines don’t come with that risk and also appear more effective, advisers to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.
It’s an unusual move and the CDC’s director, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, must decide whether to accept the panel’s advice.
Until now the U.S. has treated all thr...

Interagency approaches to animal models for acute radiation exposure
Int J Radiat Biol. 2021 Dec 2:1-4. doi: 10.1080/09553002.2021.2002661. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIonizing radiation can cause devastating injuries including hemorrhage, immune suppression, increased susceptibility to infection, and death. Medical countermeasures (MCMs) that address and mitigate radiation-induced injuries are the most important tools for countering the consequences of radiation exposure. Likewise, in matters of public health security, the development and advancement of radiological MCMs are fundamental for establishing an effective response to radiological and nuclear threats. United States Government a...

CDC Authorizes Boosters of Moderna and Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 Vaccines
Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), authorized booster doses of COVID-19 vaccines for certain groups. Walensky followed the advice of a CDC expert panel, which recommended the boosters in in two unanimous votes earlier in the day.
The 15-member Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) advised that anyone who was initially vaccinated with the Moderna shot get a booster at least six months later, and that J&J-Janssen recipients receive a booster at least two months after their initial vaccination. The endorsement follows a similar decision from the Food and ...
