June 9, 2021 In hindsight, the Climategate hack, clearly timed to disrupt the Copenhagen negotiations, looks like a precursor to the hack that helped shape the outcome of the 2016 election. That’s how John Podesta, the Clinton campaign chairman whose stolen emails were posted on WikiLeaks in the final weeks of the campaign, sees it. The parallels go beyond the hacks themselves. “I think it was the intentionality of influencing the public debate,” he says. “Climategate”, the 2009 email hack, to me, and a lot of other well placed observers, appears to have been a warm up for the e-mai...

hope to researchers who struggled for years to produce treatments that could save millions of lives. Vaccines take several forms, with some made from bacterial or viral particles treated to prevent virulence, while others consist of inactivated or weaker virus particles. Yet more are made from components of the pathogen or, like the Oxford-AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine, consist of viral vectors that deliver genetic material into the cells of recipients. Two of the earliest approved and most effective vaccines against coronavirus, from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, are based on mRNA technology....

The global race to produce coronavirus vaccines, in particular the development of messenger RNA or mRNA technology, has given hope to researchers who have struggled for years to produce shots that could save millions of lives. Vaccines take several forms, with some made from bacterial or viral particles treated to prevent virulence, while others consist of inactivated or weaker virus particles. Yet more are made from components of the pathogen or, like the Oxford-AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine, consist of viral vectors that deliver genetic material into the cells of recipients.

Updated / Friday, 5 Feb 2021 16:19 Researchers say the changing climate and habitat destruction have driven virus-carrying species into ever closer contact with humans Climate change may have played a "key role" in the transmission of the coronavirus to humans by driving several species of pathogen-carrying bats into closer contact, research shows. The virus, which has killed more than two million people and caused unprecedented global disruption, is thought to have originated in bats in southeast Asia. Researchers from the University of Cambridge used temperature and rainfall data over the ...
