Comment réagir, trouver un nouveau cap dans cette période désorientée ? Le célèbre neuropsychiatre, qui publie Des âmes et des saisons (chez Odile Jacob), prône un virage indispensable, une renaissance pour réinventer notre relation avec la vie, la nature, les autres.

Vaccinating against SARS-CoV-2 Early in the spread of SARS-CoV-2, the virus mutated, and the mutant form is now the most prevalent genotype worldwide. The vaccines currently being tested i

New estimates suggest the vaccine rollout is no match for the severity of the U.S. outbreak, and stricter social distancing measures are needed to reduce infections.

COVID-19 vaccinations have started. They will stop the pandemic. Citing recent data that are in line with immunological knowledge and predictions, combined with insights of common cold coronaviruses, we here set out the case that the maintenance of population immunity will not depend on continued vaccinations but on the endemic presence of SARS-CoV-2. Here, Veldhoen and Simas discuss why immunity to SARS-CoV-2 in populations may ultimately be driven by the endemic presence of the virus and not rely on continued mass vaccination programmes.

This is becoming repetitive already but it’s very much worth repeating: lockdowns don’t work and a new study has come out re-confirming that fact.

Hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine with or without azithromycin have been widely promoted to treat coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) following early …

Patient comprehension is a critical part of meeting medical ethics standards of informed consent in study designs. The aim of the study was to determine if sufficient literature exists to require clinicians to disclose the specific risk that COVID‐19 vaccines could worsen disease upon exposure to challenge or circulating virus.

C’est une véritable bombe médiatique qui explose aux visages des laboratoires Moderna et Pfizer : une étude scientifique parue dans le prisé British Medical Journal et signée par Peter Doshi, associé à l’Université du Maryland et qui s’occupe de la recherche[Lire plus...]

Evidence is growing that self-attacking ‘autoantibodies’ could be the key to understanding some of the worst cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Les poursuites à l’endroit de Didier Raoult par l’Ordre national des médecins, à la suite de celles déclenchées quelques semaines plus tôt par l’Ordre départemental des Bouches-du-Rhône, interrogent la question de l’étendue de la liberté d’expression du médecin en temps de crise sanitaire.

The potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health was evident early on. The extent of the effects, especially cumulative over the long period of the pandemic, has not yet been fully investigated for Germany.

Last week, Israel released preliminary data on the effects of vaccination for infection and transmissibility. Early indications suggest that after vaccination, as many as 70% of people can still be infected.

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has upended society in many ways. The tragic and rising number of deaths we continue to see throughout the world, the overloaded hospitals, the devastated economies1—all of these appropriately garner dail

We analyze data from Twitter to uncover early-warning signals of COVID-19 outbreaks in Europe in the winter season 2019–2020, before the first public announcements of local sources of infection were made. We show evidence that unexpected levels of concerns about cases of pneumonia were raised across a number of European countries. Whistleblowing came primarily from the geographical regions that eventually turned out to be the key breeding grounds for infections. These findings point to the urgency of setting up an integrated digital surveillance system in which social media can help geo-localize chains of contagion that would otherwise proliferate almost completely undetected.

Abstract Background The efficacy of public health measures to control the transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has not been well studied in young adults

As politicians try to schedule an end to the pandemic, scientists say the virus will stick around as an endemic disease similar to the common cold.

A team of international scientists has recently developed a bispecific antibody that can bind two non-overlapping regions of the spike receptor-binding domain of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and completely prevent the viral-host interaction.

Dans un communiqué publié ce 11 janvier, l’Inserm (Institut national de la santé et de la recherche médicale) cherche à calmer les inquiétudes sur le fameux variant anglais du coronavirus. Ce variant du SARS-CoV-2 (VUI 202012/01 renommé VOC 202012/01) qui a émergé de façon rapide depuis septembre depuis le sud-est de l’Angleterre suscite de nombreuses interrogations. En France, des personnes porteuses du variant ont été identifiées dans plusieurs villes dont Marseille, Lille ou encore Paris et l’estimation du nombre de cas est probablement encore sous-évaluée. Le variant aurait par ailleurs déjà été détecté dans des dizaines d’autres pays. Pour mieux appréhender l’impact potentiel des mutations du virus et l’émergence de nouveaux variants, l’Inserm fait le point en voulant couper court aux fausses infos.
