It is... B cells FTW day! I am so, so happy to share our latest in @NatImmunol We discovered that aberrant BMI-1 in B cells is key for poor antibody in chronic infection. Targeting BMI-1 improved Ab quality & viral clearance @MonashBDI Link: rdcu.be/cCheU

EU? More like an FU to Africa. This is not the way. Travel bans have not worked for 2 years, they merely give an illusion that G7 leaders are doing something. Real leadership requires a commitment to vaccinate the good people of Africa. Our @TexasChildrens Vaccine Center can help – at Houston, TX
Member States agreed to introduce rapidly restrictions on all travel into the EU from 7 countries in the Southern Africa region - Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Zimbabwe. Tests, quarantine & contact tracing for incoming passengers are important

The more unvaccinated people there are, the more opportunities the virus has to mutate--this is why it's so important that as many people as possible get vaccinated, say @ericschneiderMD and @Alison_Galvani thedose.show/episode74t
