New Lancet meta-analysis finds measles vaccine immunity wanes over time, with seropositivity dropping from ~93% within 10 yrs to ~83% at 16–22 yrs.

The authors say their findings warrant an urgent review of vaccination strategies

Measles Vaccine Protection Wanes After a Decade
Individuals who receive a measles-containing vaccine maintain seropositivity for a decade; however, the vaccine’s protection declines gradually thereafter.

Let's be crystal clear: doing some good stuff doesn't give you a free pass to also do a whole bunch of bad stuff. And when the bad stuff is REALLY bad, no amount of good stuff can compensate.

Labour have flirted with that hard line many times since the GE. Today's immigration assault leaps over it.

Sadly I won’t be watching @eurovision.tv again this year, due to the deplorable decision to continue to allow Israel to continue to participate.

@theguardian.com Can you explain this normalisation of a far right party please? I’m a paid subscriber, and I certainly don’t pay to support the far right.

He is admitting that he doesn’t want lawyers to stop him from breaking the law. No one would stop him from issuing lawful orders, so this has to be about unlawful ones.
Hegseth says firing of top military lawyers was about making sure "they don't exist to be roadblocks to anything that happens."

It's quite clear that Elon's a neo-Nazi. He's obsessed with genetics, let blue-check Nazis run wild on X and is backing a German neo-Nazi party. There's no reason to give him any benefit of the doubt.

But the press will, and that allows him to shout out to his base but say he's trolling the libs.

Not much hope the next year will be a better one, but a sliver of hope will have to suffice in the circumstances!

It is not an overstatement when I say that I could genuinely weep: this is 100% the *exact opposite* of what they need to do: you cannot out-Reform the Reform Party. The only thing this will do is drive more voters to Reform: voters always choose the original. *Every* bit of research shows that. 🧵

⚠️ Pontypridd has been hit by devastating floods and our wonderful independent bookshop, Storyville Books, has seen much of its stock destroyed.

If you’re able to buy a book from them, this would go such a long way to help support them rebuild in the aftermath.
