A new 12-week #clinicaltrial has found that #kimchi #김치 one of #Korea’s most iconic fermented foods acts as a “precision regulator” of the #immunesystem, strengthening defense functions while also preventing excessive immune responses. https://t.co/fYaHI5iRNM

Decades of rigorous and scientifically sound research have proven that vaccines do not cause autism. CDC’s decision to change language on its website reversing that finding is reckless and harmful. Our statement w/ @HIVMA, @APIC, @SHEA_Epi & @SIDPharm: https://t.co/vPRXaMll6s

Climate change, urbanization and increased travel are creating the perfect conditions for Aedes #mosquitoes to thrive, which means #dengue is no longer just a tropical concern - #denguefever is a global #publichealth concern. Stay informed, stay protected. https://t.co/n9cIAqPBQs

A new @StanfordMed-led study provides the strongest evidence so far that #EpsteinBarrVirus #EBV can directly cause #lupus. EBV, which infects about 95% of people, can take over certain #Bcells and trigger a large #autoimmune reaction. https://t.co/qq1a3zmV8i

The finding that children may be central to household #mpox transmission underscores the need for family-centered #publichealth strategies. Research like this from @CUNY @CUNYSPH is essential for equitable, stigma-free, and effective #outbreak response. https://t.co/gtTmW117VT

I express my closeness to the people of the Philippines who have been hit by a violent typhoon: I pray for the deceased and their families, as well as for the injured and displaced.

New evidence links viral infections to higher #heartattack and #stroke risk. The key takeaway: #Vaccination may help protect not just against #infection, but also against infection-related heart and vascular disease. https://t.co/6YbMZjSktf

Grace in stripes. Zebras grazing under a golden South African sunset - where the wild meets serenity. A quiet reminder that even in nature, grace and focus prevail. We can learn a lot from the quiet confidence of zebras. #SouthAfrica #NatureBeauty #Zebra
