Danielle Beckman CDC Flu The study focuses on the highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza virus and its potential to enter the central nervous system (CNS) and cause neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration. The findings suggest that neurotropic influenza viruses, like H5N1, can trigger neuroinflammation

Our preprint discussing the parkinsonian impact of two strains of COVID, how this is affected by vaccination and how a LRRK2 mutation worsens pathology and escapes vaccine protection has posted. The implications of this on public health are significant. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

This was a film from Dr Robert Webster’s lab at St Jude Children’s Research hospital showing a flock of ducks in Laos being culled. I (Smeyne) jokingly said the bird looked like it had PD. When I looked at its brain, it did. Thats how the whole viral cause of PD was restarted.

Yep. Planting the flag.
