Immunology of the menstrual cycle and pregnancy.
- Among almost 60,000 women aged 18 - 45 in one Swedish county, #Covid #Vaccination did not affect the chance of getting or staying #pregnant. I know of at least a dozen studies that have shown this, but this is by far the biggest! I spoke to @lizszabo.bsky.social

- Vaccination against whooping cough, RSV and flu during pregnancy saves babies lives, but expectant parents are sometimes unsure. How do I know it's safe? Will it protect my baby? To answer these questions, we've created www.vaccinesinpregnancy.org #ObGynSky #MedSky #ImmunoSky 1/
- @scientisttess.bsky.social Sorry to miss your talk (and indeed the drinks!) My train was cancelled so I had to leave in time to get the one before.

- Reposted by Viki MaleA small primer on the #NobelPrize awarded to Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell and Shimon Sakaguchi today. This prize was for combining two separate fields of immunology research - genetic research on IPEX and immunology research of regulatory T cells (#Tregs), with enormous impact on biology/medicine
- The relentless Jessica McDonald has spent two weeks and hundreds of emails to fact check claims about the safety of #CovidVaccination in #pregnancy made at the #ACIP meeting. She couldn't have been any quicker. A lie can get around the world before the truth can get its shoes on.
- A substantial body of evidence supports the safety of the COVID-19 vaccines during pregnancy, contrary to the suggestions of some members of the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee. HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently reconstituted the committee. www.factcheck.org/2025/10/vacc...

- Reposted by Viki MaleACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. bit.ly/47Wxc59

One that preserves fluorophores while allowing simultaneous TF and cytokine staining? How about 100-fold cheaper? You got it: currentprotocols.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
- Props to the CDC staff who presented the science at yesterday’s #ACIP meeting. Key points relating to #CovidVaccination in #pregnancy… 1. No increased risk of any problems in pregnancy, at birth, or for infants 1/ www.cdc.gov/acip/downloa...
- I started following yesterday’s #ACIP just in time for the votes, fully intending to summarise the outcomes. I didn’t, because… I couldn’t work out what they had actually decided... 🤷🏻♀️ Glad it’s not just me!
