A small Australian 2026 #flu update. 11JULY2026 🦠It is a 'normal' pre-peak-pandemic start to the 2026 season. That is a really nice change from several past years. In the ~15 days since my last update (26JUN), detections have risen by 9,002. That's a daily rate of 600, up from 549.

Expanded version of the last graph, both in the number of years & in its horizontal stretching. #AusFlu2026 started to rise in June, similar to pre-pandemic patterns of a #flu rise that peaks around August. But let's wait and see about peaks.

"The cause of death for an Air Force trainee who died last month at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio was influenza, according to Rep. Joaquin Castro, a Texas Democrat. Keon Talik McDaniel, 25, died June 16, according to his obituary. Influenza swept the air force base in June, one month after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made the flu shots voluntary, rather than mandatory, for American troops." https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/influenza-vaccines/air-force-trainee-san-antonio-texas-died-flu #PublicHealth #flu #influenza #vaccines #immunizations #USpol

"A trove of newly released internal emails offers a new look at how the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention navigated some of the most controversial public health decisions of President Trump's second term — and, at times, chafed at pressure from Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his team." https://www.cbsnews.com/news/internal-emails-rfk-jr-cdc-bernie-sanders/ #PublicHealth #CDC #HHS #flu #vaccines #immunizations #ACIP #leadership #USpol

ICYMI These dumb 🤬 A major localized #flu #outbreak is currently affecting hundreds of new #MilitaryRecruits at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland in Texas. The outbreak began after “Defense” Secretary Pete #Hegseth made flu #vaccines optional in April, causing #vaccination rates to plummet to around 40%. #AntiVax #ConspiracyTheories #Trump #RFKJr #ItsAboutCovidOnTrumpsWatch #vanity #science #medicine #vaccines #law #military #USpol #VaccinesWork #idiocracy https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/18/us/flu-outbreak-air-force-base.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share

Motivated by the devastation the Spanish flu inflicted on WW1 troops, the US military was key in the development of #flu vaccine. Keeping troops battle ready is critical, which makes Hegseth's decision to drop mandatory flu shots ill-advised, Paul Friedrichs writes. https://www.statnews.com/2026/04/23/military-flu-shots-no-longer-required-retired-general-criticizes-move/

Another excellent article from @drjudystone@mstdn.science at Forbes on the idealogical (and ahistorical) decision by the fool in charge of the US military to remove the requirement for the #flu vaccine. #ID #Vaccine https://www.forbes.com/sites/judystone/2026/04/23/doctors-say-hegseths-flu-vaccine-decision-will-weaken-military-readiness/

A small Australian 2026 #flu update. 22APR2026 🦠It is *not* an early start to the 2026 season. That is a really nice change from several past years. In the ~12 days since my last update (10APR), detections have risen by 1,602. That's a daily rate of 134.

Of what #flu is around, most viruses are A(H3N2) with some Bs and a little A(H1N1). A reminder that last year started with A(H1N1) dominating and finished with A(H3N2) subclade K wrapping up 2025 and driving a big & unusual summer surge into this year. Not so long ago! There should be heaps of immunity

Australian #flu numbers over time. I've added the main 1 (or 2) dominant A or B subtypes to highlight their exchange over time. It's a busy figure. We've had 2-of-each-A-subtype-dominated years since #InfectionPause, with 2025 having both dominate at different times.

@paul@oldfriends.live @maddad@mastodon.world A tiny caveat: "Died of disease" encompasses more than just the #flu. But the point is still valid. 👍

Idiocracy 🤬🤬🤬 FDA declines to review Moderna application for new #mRNA flu #vaccine “US regulators will not review #Moderna’s request to license a new, potentially more effective #Flu shot – even though the US Food and Drug Administration (#FDA) previously gave the green light to the project – in a decision that could have implications for all new and updated vaccines in the US.” https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/10/fda-moderna-flu-vaccine

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is refusing to consider Moderna's application for an mRNA flu vaccine. The company has applied for the vaccine's approval in Europe, Canada and Australia. Here's more from @AssociatedPress@flipboard.com. https://flip.it/v1C5u0 #Health #Science #mRNA #Flu #USNews

RE: https://mastodon.social/@heidilifeldman/115933976096405938 You know that classic story how the loud obnoxious bully becomes a whimpering sod once they take a real hit? Lets strike the bully tomorrow Friday January 23rd If you've noticed a cold going around, it would be unfortunate if you caught it and had to call in sick tomorrow. My normal Friday involves coffee shop and computer work. I think I'll just play video games instead. #GeneralStrike #USPol #Minnesota #Minneapolis #Union #Walkout #NoKings #COVID #Flu
