* ►March 24, 2010 - Effect of oral immunization with pooled antigens derived from adipose tissue on atherosclerosis and obesity indices - journal article (Vaccine) - "These results show that V6 is safe and holds a promise as an anti-atherogenic and overweight/obesity immune intervention."

Orchitis is a common complication of mumps infection, particularly in post-pubertal males, and is also recognized as a very rare complication of mumps vaccination. These cases, discussed together with a comprehensive review of the existing literature regarding post-vaccine orchitis, highlight uncertainty regarding the pathogenesis of post-vaccine orchitis."

* ►March 19, 2010 - Is it cost-effective to introduce rotavirus vaccination in the Dutch national immunization program? - journal article (Vaccine) - "Rotarix® is more cost-effective than RotaTeq®, resulting in a cost-utility ratio (CUR) of € 53,000 per DALY (third payer perspective) and € 49,000 per DALY (societal perspective), but both considered as being not cost-effective."

"I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves, and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education."

* ►March 14, 2010 - Ex-Pfizer Worker Cites Genetically Engineered Virus In Lawsuit Over Firing - Hartford Courant - "Organizations involved in workplace safety and responsible genetic research already have seized on the federal lawsuit by molecular biologist Becky McClain as an example of what they claim is evidence that risks caused by cutting-edge genetic manipulation have outstripped more slowly evolving government regulation of laboratories. McClain, of Deep River, suspects she was inadvertently exposed, through work by a former Pfizer colleague in 2002 or 2003, to an engineered form of the lentivirus, a virus similar to the one that can lead to acquired immune deficiency syndrome, or AIDS. Medical experts working for McClain believe the virus has affected the way her body channels potassium, leading to a condition that causes complete paralysis as many as 12 times a month."
