WHO’s June 2025 report confirms that most published scientific evidence supports a zoonotic origin for SARS-CoV-2. The lab-leak theory remains unsubstantiated but politically charged. thelancet.com/journals/lanmi…

Oxford researchers tracked 576 people in the UK with long-lasting COVID infections and found that while most showed little viral change, a small group developed rapid mutations, some matching those in known variants. Late-stage transmission was rare. thelancet.com/journals/lanmi…

Pittsburgh researchers found that respiratory infections like flu or COVID-19 can awaken dormant breast cancer cells in the lungs by triggering IL-6 and CD4+ T cells, potentially doubling relapse risk in patients in remission. nature.com/articles/d4158…

Study in mice found that COVID-19 and flu infections can awaken dormant breast cancer cells in the lungs. The likely culprit is inflammation, especially driven by IL-6, which sparks tumor growth and may explain increased cancer deaths post-COVID. nature.com/articles/d4158…

Chongqing scientists engineered yeast to produce a potent anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody. The Fc-tagged version showed strong neutralization, over 5-day half-life in mice, and a 4.8-fold yield boost after fermentation tweaks. researchsquare.com/article/rs-707…

India, with 120 participants, found that post-COVID prediabetics show higher levels of inflammatory cytokines and NOS3 gene expression, pointing to early endothelial stress and suggesting NOS3 as a potential biomarker for vascular risk. researchsquare.com/article/rs-721…

Researchers in China and the US found that Omicron’s P132H mutation in SARS-CoV-2 weakens a viral protein’s ability to block interferon-β, helping the immune system fight infection and reducing the virus’s pathogenicity. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

University of Kansas scientists show coronavirus Mac1 protein aids infection in two ways, binding ADP-ribose boosts early RNA synthesis, while its enzyme activity helps make viral proteins. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/jv…

Bangkok-based scientists screened 89,200 compounds and identified E912-0363 and G740-1003 as potent SARS-CoV-2 main protease inhibitors, with E912-0363 showing binding strength comparable to nirmatrelvir after 500-ns simulations. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

In Austria, a pilot study of 36 women with long COVID tested ear-based vagus nerve stimulation. Fatigue improved, but authors warn the sample was small and lacked biological or long-term data to confirm benefits. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

In Santarém, Brazil, a study of 25 post-COVID patients from vulnerable Amazonian communities found 88% had moderate to extreme fatigue and over half showed signs of anxiety or depression, revealing deep disparities in long COVID recovery. bmcinfectdis.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Jinan, China. In 13 children with new neuropsychiatric symptoms after mild COVID-19, researchers found no systemic inflammation but detected elevated CSF IL-8 and low T3 hormone levels, pointing to CNS-specific inflammation and thyroid disruption. bmcinfectdis.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Stellenbosch scientists studying 1,973+ patients link Long Covid and ME/CFS to "zombie" blood-vessel cells that cause clotting, inflammation and low oxygen, possibly driving fatigue, brain fog and post-exertion crashes. iol.co.za/weekend-argus/…

Toronto researchers studied 12 IBD patients and found that anti-TNF therapy impairs vaccine responses by reducing antibody quality and memory B cell development after COVID-19 mRNA vaccination, suggesting delayed and weakened immune memory. jci.org/articles/view/…

Psychiatrist Robert Bransfield warns that infections like COVID-19 may trigger violence and global instability by impairing brain function and emotional control. He calls this a treatable, not inevitable, path. contagionlive.com/view/pandemics…

Fascinated by how infections shape behavior. You can see it daily now, but books show it’s happened before, especially after the 1918 flu. History keeps whispering, even if fewer are listening.

The FDA keeps saying drug sponsors must do more to fast-track Long COVID treatments. But after everything we’ve seen, is that the whole story? This is a crisis. We need shared urgency, shared responsibility. Let’s meet in the middle

Across 17 US states, 41 children developed acute necrotizing encephalopathy from influenza over two seasons. Most were previously healthy, but 27% died and 60% of survivors had long-term neurologic damage. Only 16% were vaccinated. jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…

Leiden and Newcastle researchers studied 36 patients with STAT1 gain-of-function disease and found that pre-treatment with JAK inhibitors before stem cell transplant significantly improved event-free survival, raising success rates from 10% to 56%. rupress.org/jhi/article/1/…
