We NEED you HELP! ***#endoresearch*** TAG & SHARE 💛 Your menstrual health matters! https://nicm.edu.au/research/clinical_trials/menstrual_health Researchers at NICM Health Research Institute (NICM) and the School of Education at Western Sydney University are hoping to change the way young women think about, and deal with their periods. Research shows that women often suffer with pain and other symptoms for years before presenting to their doctor, and this is a major cause in the delay in diagnosis and treatment for endometriosis and other pelvic pain conditions. We think that the ‘normalising’ of pain and other symptoms is a big part of this delay. We are currently running a study using a web-based resource that you can use on your phone, tablet or computer. The aim of this resource is to give young women a better understanding of what’s ‘normal’ and what’s not, and how they can manage the impact of their menstrual symptoms. To help with this we are using a screening tool developed by the Canberra Endometriosis Centre (called PIPPA) to help guide women to their doctor if they show symptoms that put them at high risk of endometriosis, as well as offering a letter to take to their doctor, if they want one. We are also providing a wealth of self-care information including diet, yoga, heat and acupressure for those women who have more mild symptoms, so that they may be able to help manage their symptoms better. We are currently looking for young women, aged 14-25 who live in Australia to take part in this study. If you or anyone you know would be interested then go here to find out more https://nicm.edu.au/research/clinical_trials/menstrual_health #endoaustralia #NICM @westernsydneyu #1in10 #endometriosisaustralia #endo #endometriosis

Re: Covid vaccine safety concerns
Re: Covid vaccine safety concerns
As a person with a science background (MSc in pharmacology/toxicology studying viruses plus lots of immunology papers), I think it’s important to share my thought process since I do have extra scientific information that could help people that may be concerned about the coronavirus vaccine safety. It’s a long post, so please skip to the questions you might have. I did write those in all caps.
For general details to how vaccines work and why they are safe, here is the lesson material and even a video recording explaining it to my students. I can’t remember if in this video we talked about the coronavirus, but I know we definitely did during that topic I was teaching (microorganisms). I have linked just the vaccine one, but if you search the rest of my Google Site you can get more information related to viruses, and the immune system.
Here are two good videos that explain how the immune system and vaccines worth. You can watch it in either order. The immune system one isn't necessary to understand how vaccines work, just gives you more context to what a beautiful system it is and why we want to use it instead of creating drugs.
Vaccine video: https://youtu.be/zBkVCpbNnkU
Immune system: https://youtu.be/zQGOcOUBi6s
Here are some key points and responses to common concerns.
What is the difference between bacterial and viral infections? Both of these are pathogens (things that make you sick) but the way they make you sick are very different. Bacteria are living and may or may not need a host to reproduce. Viruses are non-living and need a host to reproduce. Both have the potential to survive on surfaces or other animals, it depends what traits they have. We are still learning all of the coronavirus’s traits, which is why instructions from scientists change. One key thing we know about the coronavirus is that it can be transmitted human to human, not something we want because not it’s easier to spread. If it only transmitted from bird to human, then only people that are near birds (like chicken farmers) would need to worry. It’s always a scary step when a pathogen can jump between humans! It is also harder to fight viruses because they hide in our human cells. That means it takes more time for our immune system to notice them and start the attack!
When drugs go through safety there is a rigorous process within drug companies. Having done a summer internship in a biotech company there was a lesson that I learned through them, “Fail fast = fail cheaply.” Basically, that means that drug companies are quick to stop working on anything that has shown or they think shows to be dangerous. The sooner they do that, the less money and time is wasted.
There is also a rigorous process in the system of drug development and governmental approval by agencies such as the FDA and MedSafe. These are known as phases and you can only move onto the next phase if you pass the previous ones. The first step is testing in cells, which are very cheap and easy to grow. The second step is to move into animals, which are more expensive and often require ethical approval (depending on the country). The third step is to move into humans. The human testing step also has steps of their own called phases. I’ll provide a link at the end if you want to read that but it’s not too important for the context of this post. Just know that it is VERY hard to get to this step and it is VERY expensive. So drug companies must feel confident when they get here.
In most countries, in order to get something approved for us, not only do you need to prove the drug to be safe, but it also needs to be effective. The general guideline of what we judge as effective is not only successful in treating the disease/symptoms but also how it compares against the best current treatment available. The large majority of drugs that go to this step still fail.
RE: BUT THE SPEED THEY PUT THIS VACCINE OUT! DID THEY DO ALL THE STEPS CORRECTLY? Yes, they still have to follow all the same steps. The reason why you see that it was developed a whole lot faster was that there was so much money thrown at the problem, there were WAY more resources to allow for processing of the data, and the bureaucracy was removed. Having money is important to buy things and pay scientists. Having more resources means that we could run programs projecting many more potential forms of the drug and if they would work basically before we even tested it in cells! Remember fail fast, fail cheap? Saves money and time. The bureaucracy being removed was important because it now forces companies to not only share the information with the government but with each other. That’s why not only have we gotten a fast solution, but many different companies putting out their version of a vaccine. That’s why we got stuff in a year. None of these things is normal in science and since there is a high risk of failing safety testing, there is a very low chance of return on investments. That’s why drug companies “spread their eggs” on multiple projects and each project only gets a limited number of resources and money. That’s why on average a new drug would require 10 years of research and development.
RE: I HEAR THEY USED DNA IN THESE VACCINES WHAT IF THAT CHANGES MY DNA? It can’t. Also, it is mRNA in the vaccine, not DNA. Currently, scientists are looking into gene therapy as a possible way of treating genetic diseases such as cystic fibrosis. Since it is a genetic disease, the only way you can change it is by changing your DNA. So far it has been largely unsuccessful. Turns out it is really hard not only to change people’s DNA but also the downstream traits the DNA controls. If we can’t do it intentionally, it’s not going to happen with this vaccine accidentally.
The mRNA vaccine works by causing the body to make a coronavirus marker. IT DOES NOT MAKE THE CORONA VIRUS AND THIS MARKER IS HARMLESS. It is important that the body has this marker so our immune system sees it and it will learn ‘not me, remember to kill this the next time I see this.’ Unfortunately, this takes time and possibly multiple exposures for the body to really learn this. Thus why when you get vaccinated it could take two weeks to be officially protected and you might need multiple injections. However, once you have it, when your body comes across it in real life it would be ready. It will fight and kill it before you get sick.
RE: I GOT SICK AFTER GETTING THE VACCINE, DID THE VACCINE MAKE ME SICK? No. See since vaccines are trying to activate the immune system, which might give you some symptoms of being sick. That’s a good sign because it means your body is building a memory of what the coronavirus looks like.
RE: I STILL GOT THE CORONA VIRUS EVEN THOUGH I WAS VACCINATED, DOES THAT MEAN IT DIDN’T WORK? If you got sick with the coronavirus soon after being vaccinated, you just got unlucky. Remember you need a two-week window from most vaccines to be protected. If you got sick with the corona later what that means your body didn’t do a good job learning the marker. It does sometimes happen, but that is rare. It is important you get both doses of the coronavirus vaccine to increase your chances of it working.
RE: WHEN SHOULD I GET THE CORONAVIRUS VACCINE? Literally, as soon as you're eligible! This needs to be rolled out as soon as possible. Not only to protect you and the population but to also prevent the virus from mutating again. See, since a virus is non-living, they require a host to reproduce. During this reproduction process, it makes mistakes, which can lead to a mutation that can cause new traits. We already saw some new traits with the new strains being more infectious. Other scary things that could happen is that it mutates and now it kills young people or children! The other scary thing is if it mutates and changes markers. That means that our current vaccines won’t work and we have to start over. We need to do everything possible to limit transmitting this virus - getting vaccinated, wearing masks, locking down, social distancing, washing hands, keeping a record of where you’ve been for contact tracing. These will limit the number of potential hosts and thus mutations.
RE: I WANT THE CORONAVIRUS VACCINE NOW BUT THEY WON’T GIVE IT TO ME! Since there is currently limited supply (don’t worry, there will be more) and limited resources to distribute them, most countries are starting with people running isolation facilities and healthcare workers to help limit the risk of it spreading, limit the risk of the people most likely to get it and to keep both of those systems running. The next lot will be those that are in a high-risk category - aka the ones that are likely to die/need serious medical attention if they do catch it. Then it will be everyone else.
That’s basically my thought process is how I weighed the pros/cons of the coronavirus vaccine based on science. I hope reading this has convinced you to get the vaccine and/or empowered you to convince others. I know people have genuine concerns, which is often the result of lack of information, so I hope I’ve answered them. Lastly, I hope it also convinces you to follow the various health guidelines as well if you weren’t doing so already.
TLDR: Get the coronavirus vaccine as soon as you’re eligible and follow the advice of the health care professionals: wearing masks, locking down, social distancing, washing hands, keeping a record of where you’ve been for contact tracing.
