Five years after the rollout of Covid-19 vaccines started, it seems the mystery of why the Astra-Zeneca and J&J vaccines led to a rare but deadly side effect of unusual blood clots and bleeding has finally been solved. β¨
It's a fascinating case of molecular mimicry that may help make vaccine safer.π§ͺ

Reviewers are the soul of any scientific journal and I want to thank you those who reviewed papers in 2025 for #mSphere. Exciting things to come from mSphere. Stay tuned @asm.org journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...
Nearly 15% (over 10,000 people) of the total number of Ph.D.s in science, technology, engineering, and math or health fields employed at the end of 2024 left their jobs in 2025. This is a science extinction event in the US. Rebuilding the lost expertise will take decades
