Otter Raft@lemmy.caOPto Medicine@mander.xyz•Immunogenicity and Safety of Influenza and COVID-19 Multicomponent Vaccine in Adults ≥50 YearsA Randomized Clinical TrialEnglish0·2 months agoThis community is intended for healthcare professionals
As per the article
Importance Uptake of recommended seasonal influenza and COVID-19 vaccines remains suboptimal.
Objective To assess the immunogenicity and safety of an investigational mRNA-1083 vaccine against seasonal influenza and SARS-CoV-2 in adults 50 years and older.
Being able to cite data about safety and effectiveness is helpful when making recommendations to patients, and necessary when healthcare professionals are discussing policy.
I included the results in the post body to make sure it wasn’t clickbait or misleading, but I’m always looking to improving it in the future if you have feedback

Santos says targeting the hospitality industry at large, including bars, pubs, clubs and other party venues where drinks flow freely, means patrons can have access to a simple drug testing tool for “every cocktail on every table.”
“The idea is that it’ll be completely ubiquitous,” she said. “Every drink leaving the bar will have a stick in it. Every drink will be stirred, every drink will be tested, every drink will be safe.”

Otter Raft@lemmy.caOPto Videos@lemmy.world•UBC Engineers Develop Stir Stick to Detect GHB & Spiked Drinks in SecondsEnglish0·4 months agoWhile I still can’t say this is novel, this other article mentions that the goal is to make it cheap enough that venues can have enough for every drink that they serve and to put the responsibility on venues rather than the user
“In the anti-violence sector, you know, there’s a lot of very strong feelings about people who are being targeted with violence being told that the burden of safety is on them, and that they have to buy more and do more to protect themselves constantly,” she said.
“The idea is that it’ll be completely ubiquitous,” she said. “Every drink leaving the bar will have a stick in it. Every drink will be stirred, every drink will be tested, every drink will be safe.”
