The emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains threatens to set back the world a hundred years to the age when even a minor infection could result in a life-threatening condition.
The developing avian influenza panzootic and the growing possibility of a pandemic bring to the fore the existential questions for humanity of climate change and the destruction of public health, both of which must be stopped in order to control the growing threats.
While authorities are downplaying the dangers of the H5N1 virus, it can evolve very rapidly and every spillover event into humans heightens the possibility of a variant with human-to-human transmission.
If these gigantic ice shelves disintegrated, they would raise the global sea level by 58 meters, nearly 200 feet.
The so-called “forever chemicals” pose a considerable health threat, causing thyroid cancer and liver damage. High exposure can lead to decreased fertility, developmental delays in children, as well as increased risk of prostate, kidney and testicular cancer.
Gerrard’s assertion is part of the campaign by the political establishment in Australia to normalise COVID-19 with the claim that Long COVID is no different to the long-term symptoms of seasonal influenza.
The studies provide further confirmation that modern populations are the result of a complex mixing of migrants of varying origins and cultures that have nothing to do with the pseudo-concept of “race."
The science of genetics was critical to the release of Kathleen Folbigg, who spent nearly two decades in jail after being wrongly convicted of killing her four children.
Warming oceans, exacerbated by record melting of Antarctic ice shelfs, could produce heat waves, droughts and destructive storms.
The outbreak, contained in September, resulted in two deaths and was stopped through testing over 1,288 close contacts and closing several schools, workplaces and public transport networks.
The fossil skull, including both jaw and cranium, appears to be from an intermediate form between Homo erectus and Homo sapiens.
New South Wales health data shows the increase in the infection of the lower respiratory tract began in September.
Many viral infections that plague humans originate from bats, yet intriguingly bats suffer no ill effects from the myriad of viruses that inhabit their bodies, a phenomenon scientists are researching in the hope of finding insights into how to moderate impacts on humans.
Regardless of the prospect of a repeat of the catastrophic 2019‒20 bushfire season, virtually nothing has been done to mitigate the risks.
A review of An Intimate History of Evolution: The Story of the Huxley Family, by Alison Bashford.
Despite receiving 566 submissions, many from Long COVID sufferers and concerned scientists and doctors, the report minimalised the impact of this “mass disabling event.”
While there is an element of natural disaster in the incidents, they are greatly exacerbated by the subordination of key river systems to major agribusinesses.
The previously suppressed documents show that the Victorian Labor government knowingly presided over the mass infection of children, with a potentially-deadly illness.
This review will document what is known about the science and impacts of Long COVID, the lessons that should have been drawn from previous post-viral illnesses, and the refusal of world capitalism to address this massive and ongoing social catastrophe.
