Michael Joyner Arturo Casadevall Shmuel Shoham Jeff Henderson MDPhD There’s a well established post exposure prophylaxis measles immune globulin for those who who can’t receive the vaccine, especially pregnant women, but I don’t have specific information on its use in NY or Texas, although I’ve seen that it is being used in W Texas

As physicians confront the widening measles outbreak it is important to keep in mind that we have a highly effective means of protecting those exposed - hyperimmune IgG. It showed 100% efficacy in the 2013 NYC outbreak. Michael Joyner Neil Stone Eric Topol

The pandemic crisis may be over, but SARS-CoV-2 remains a major problem for the immunocompromised who do not make good antibody responses. European RCT confirms efficacy of COVID-19 convalescent plasma (CCP) in this population. CCP is FDA licensed in US Michael Joyner

I don't understand why articles like this one never mention that we have an option for preventing disease: measles gamma globulin has a 100% efficacy in preventing disease in exposed vulnerable children.

Fun project that started with looking at whether or not there is chaos during Galleria infections, and wound up also finding some interesting patterns that occur of infection (and lots of mesmerizing timelapses) Arturo Casadevall biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
