> People who received at least one influenza vaccine were 40% less likely than their non-vaccinated peers to develop Alzheimer's disease over the course of four years, according to a new study from UTHealth Houston.
- copperx 3y agoI've heard about this effect with TDAP and the Shingles vaccine. I wonder what's the mechanism.
- angiosperm 3y agoWow, thanks, I didn't know about this one. Going from tracking 60,000 patients in 2020 to 1,872,000 patients in 2022 is quite a jump in robustness. This one tracked people vaccinated against flu every year, instead of (just?) TDaP. People vaccinated every year did better than those vaccinated fewer years, with the same 40% effect size. I wonder how many million people they will need to demonstrate the effect in, before any of the the mouse beta-amylase grant money gets diverted to figuring out how vaccines forestall it, and how many before any GPs start applying the (embarrassing) results. Sci-hub doesn't have the paper, but it seems to be open-access: https://content.iospress.com/download/journal-of-alzheimers-disease/jad220361?id=journal-of-alzheimers-disease%2Fjad220361 https://content.iospress.com/download/journal-of-alzheimers-...
