Yaneer Bar-Yam, founder of the so-called World Health Network which so many covid-aware people foolishly insisted on following, appears in the Epstein files.

Here's Bar-Yam asking Epstein, who four years earlier had pleaded guilty of child prostitution, if he wants to talk about science: https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%2010/EFTA02025360.pdf

COVID-19 left a lasting increase in mortality that has yet to fully unwind in most rich nations, according to an analysis of data from 34 countries. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/01/30/world/science-health/covid-deaths-rich-countries-study/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #sciencehealth #covid19 #health #france #italy #uk #spain #lithuania

The head of the U.N.'s health agency on Saturday pushed back against Washington's stated reasons for withdrawing from the World Health Organization, dismissing U.S. criticism as "untrue." https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/01/25/world/science-health/who-us-withdrawal-untrue/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #sciencehealth #who #health #us #donaldtrump #covid19

My weekly update of #COVID19 in the US:

- Both COVID and flu viral activity is falling
- COVID remains high or very high in 16 states, particularly in the Northeast and Midwest
- Ten new studies on COVID's longer-term impact on children and adults are also shared

A Phase 1 clinical trial that will evaluate the Boost-2867 #covid #COVID19 booster administered via nasal spray is now recruiting in Seattle, at Kaiser's research institute. You don't need to be a Kaiser member to be in the study. The study is also recruiting in five other places in the US, some of which will be testing a jab version instead of a nasal spray version.

Details are at: https://www.kpwhri.org/news-and-events/recent-news/news-2026/researchers-begin-trial-nasal-spray-COVID-19-vaccine and https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT07221162

"It's only the flu."

STUDY: "Compared with influenza and dengue, #COVID19 stands out for both the breadth and severity of its neurological manifestations, as well as the persistence of symptoms in many survivors. The available evidence unequivocally supports a higher incidence and a broader spectrum of neurological complications in COVID-19, ranging from nonspecific symptoms... to more severe syndromes including ischemic stroke, encephalopathy, and GBS."
