Family of Bears Removed from Den

 


TEMPLETON – State environmental officials removed a den of black bears, including an adult female that was being tracked for its movement, from the median of Route 2 Thursday morning.
The highway was closed a short time while authorities from the state Division of Fisheries and Wildlife and the state environmental police collected an adult female bear, which weighed 206 pounds, and two 8-pound cubs, a male and a female, according to the state. The mother was immobilized for the move, the state said.
The den was recently discovered in woods between the east and west lanes, in the area of Exits 19 and 20.
Wildlife officials relocated the bear family to a nearby wooded area, reducing the risk of the cubs being hit by a car when they are large enough to leave their mother, according to a news release from the state Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs.
The adult female bear wore a GPS collar and was among more than 30 bears involved in a research project tracking bear movements within their home ranges, the state said.

 

One Vaccine Size Does Not Fit All—and Researchers Know It

One Vaccine Size Does Not Fit All—and Researchers Know It

 

By the Children’s Health Defense Team

In 2014, a top Mayo Clinic researcher admitted something that rarely gets acknowledged: vaccines “work differently” for each of us. Investigating the potential relationship between demographic factors and people’s immune response to rubella vaccination, the researcher discovered that African Americans produce more rubella antibodies than other racial/ethnic groups and “maybe” only need “half the size dose [of vaccine] that we give to Caucasians.”
These “really important” findings have bombshell implications for vaccine delivery, vaccine design and vaccine safety. Although one might expect vaccine scientists to let the public know that current one-size-fits-all vaccine policies could be “adding…potential risk by giving [them] double what [they] actually need,” there is little indication that any such word has trickled down. Instead, U.S. legislators and public health officials are moving in the opposite direction, doubling down on strategies to make vaccination compulsory for all.
… research so often shows that individuals differ in their response to vaccines and in their overt susceptibility to vaccine-related adverse events.

Factors affecting vaccine-induced immune response

The Mayo researcher, Dr. Gregory Poland, is a consummate vaccine insider who heads up his institution’s Vaccine Research Group, receives recurrent funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), serves as editor-in-chief of the journal Vaccine and chairs committees for vaccines being developed by Merck. In an interview with Scientific American in 2010, Poland made the surprising admission, however, that he “has never been fully pleased with the existing vaccine paradigm” because his research so often shows that individuals differ in their response to vaccines and in their overt susceptibility to vaccine-related adverse events.
How to explain the fact that at least one in ten individuals who receive the live attenuated rubella virus vaccine “never reach or maintain protective antibody levels”? Poland’s response to this puzzling question has been to devote massive funding and attention to mutations and other genetic factors. Occasionally, the researcher acknowledges that demographic, immunological and environmental factors also influence the development and “longevity” of post-vaccination immune responses. For example, when the Mayo researchers studied “why a range of immune responses occur” following measles vaccination, they found that in children who had received one dose of measles vaccine, measles immunity waned significantly more rapidly in asthmatic children than in children without asthma. Ditto mumps vaccination, which produced lower antibody levels in children with asthma compared to children with no asthma. By and large, however, the research group has remained focused on genetic determinants.
… genetics is just part of the immune-response story—and what causes the rest is a mystery.
