google flu trends :: Article Creator Google Tool Uses Search Terms To Detect Flu Outbreaks (CNN) -- If you have a fever, headache and runny nose, you might go to Google and type the words "flu symptoms" to see whether you've come down with influenza. Google Flu Trends provides a map of influenza activity in the U.S. At www.Google.Org/flutrends. Google knows that you might do something like that, and it also knows which U.S. State you're in. Now, it's putting that information together in a tool that Google says could detect flu outbreaks faster than traditional systems currently in use. Google's new public health initiative, Google Flu Trends, looks at the relative popularity of a slew of flu-related search terms to determine where in the U.S. Flu outbreaks may be occurring.

have there been other mrna vaccines :: Article Creator Scientists 'shocked' And 'alarmed' At What's In The MRNA Shots Link: https://www.Spectator.Com.Au/2023/09/scientists-shocked-and-alarmed-at-whats-in-the-mrna-shots/ In particular, McKernan was alarmed to find the presence of an SV40 promoter in the Pfizer vaccine vials.Early in 2023, genomics scientist Kevin McKernan made an accidental discovery. While running an experiment in his Boston lab, McKernan used some vials of mRNA Pfizer and Moderna Covid vaccines as controls. He was "shocked" to find that they were allegedly contaminated with tiny fragments of plasmid DNA. McKernan, who has 25 years of experience in his field, ran the experiment again, confirming that the vials contained up to, in his opinion, 18-70 times more DNA contamination than the legal limits allowed by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

most recent ebola outbreak :: Article Creator Ebola Is Back. Here's How This Outbreak Is Different. Ebola is back. For more than four decades, the rare but deadly virus has terrorized the world, with news of a new outbreak cropping up seemingly every few years. The largest of these outbreaks took place in West Africa from 2014 through 2016 when Ebola killed more people than in all previous outbreaks combined: 11,310. Now, the world is once again on the brink of another Ebola outbreak, this time in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). As of Monday, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates there have been 41 cases and 20 deaths in this latest Ebola outbreak. They've traced the first case back to early April, and the DRC's Ministry of Health (MoH) officially declared the situation an "outbreak" on May 8. Here's what you need to know about this latest Ebola threat. What makes this outbreak different from

govt recommended vaccines :: Article Creator As COVID Infections Rise, Nursing Homes Are Still Waiting For Vaccines "COVID is not pretty in a nursing home," said Deb Wityk, a 70-year-old retired massage therapist who lives in one called Spurgeon Manor, in rural Iowa. She has contracted the disease twice and is eager to get the newly approved vaccine because she has chronic leukemia, which weakens her immune system. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention approved the latest vaccine two weeks ago, and the new shots became available to the general public within the last week or so. But many nursing homes will not begin inoculations until well into October or even November, though infections among this vulnerable population are rising, to nearly 1%, or 9.7 per 1,000 residents in mid-September from a low of 2.2 per 1,000 residents in mid-June. "The distribution of the new COVID-19 vaccine is not going well," said Chad Worz, the
