Abstract

Background
Syndromic surveillance uses health-related data that precede diagnosis and signal a sufficient probability of a case or an outbreak to warrant further public health response.

Objective
While most syndromic surveillance systems rely on data from clinical encounters with health professionals, I started to explore in 2004 whether analysis of trends in Internet searches can be useful to predict outbreaks such as influenza epidemics and prospectively gathered data on Internet search trends for this purpose.

Results
There is an excellent correlation between the number of clicks on a keyword-triggered link in Google with epidemiological data from the flu season 2004/2005 in Canada (Pearson correlation coefficient of current week clicks with the following week influenza cases r=.91). The “Google ad sentinel method” proved to be more timely, more accurate and – with a total cost of Can$365.64 for the entire flu-season – considerably cheaper than the traditional method of reports on influenza-like illnesses observed in clinics by sentinel physicians.

Conclusion
Systematically collecting and analyzing health information demand data from the Internet has considerable potential to be used for syndromic surveillance. Tracking web searches on the Internet has the potential to predict population-based events relevant for public health purposes, such as real outbreaks, but may also be confounded by “epidemics of fear”. Data from such “infodemiology studies” should also include longitudinal data on health information supply.

2004

Andre and Kostya frequently held ‘Friday night experiments’ – sessions where they would try out experimental science that wasn’t necessarily linked to their day jobs.

One Friday, the two scientists removed some flakes from a lump of bulk graphite with sticky tape. They noticed some flakes were thinner than others. By separating the graphite fragments repeatedly, they managed to create flakes that were just one atom thick. Their experiment had led to graphene being isolated for the very first time.

Because the graphene flakes are only just one atom thick, they are considered to be two-dimensional crystals.  Graphene thus became the first known 2D crystal.  Other 2D crystal types have been developed since the initial discovery of graphene.

Grant Final Report: Review of Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) determines that fewer than 1% of vaccine adverse events are reported. Even if we assume that the COVID-19 situation has created increased awareness of VAERS, we can assume that adverse reactions are still grossly underreported. If nothing has changed, this means that statistics derived from VAERS can be multiplied by 100.

In addition to being grossly underreported, it appears that the data in VAERS may not be entirely up to date.  It appears that the CDC is behind in their reporting of adverse reactions.

According to Dr. David Martin, the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 requires that the VAERS database be maintained accurately.  This is a statutory requirement for maintaining immunity.

The following shows how VAERS data compares with the Pfizer clinical trial data.

Hyman professor of chemistry Charles Lieber has created a transistor so small it can be used to penetrate cell membranes and probe their interiors, without disrupting function. The transistor (yellow) sits near the bend in a hairpin-shaped, lipid-coated silicon nanowire. Its scale is similar to that of intra-cellular structures such as organelles (pink and blue orbs) and actin filaments (pink strand).

On behalf of the U.S. government, often the military, Daszak scours the globe for animal pathogens and brings them back to the lab to be catalogued, investigated and manipulated.

$ Award Amounts: $3.7M

Grant description: Understanding the risk of bat coronavirus emergence

But this is just one project.  A search of the system showed 37 responses for EcoHealth Alliance, with a total of $15.2M.

The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2015 was divided, one half jointly to William C. Campbell and Satoshi Ōmura “for their discoveries concerning a novel therapy against infections caused by roundworm parasites” and the other half to Tu Youyou “for her discoveries concerning a novel therapy against Malaria.”

The Ivermectin Story emphasizes the organic nature of the drug.

William C. Campbell and Satoshi Ōmura were working with ivermectin.  Tu Youyou was working with artemisinin.
