In the last decade, Ben has taken part in 15 paid clinical trials. The 37-year-old from Cambridge in the UK became a human guinea pig for the reason most people do: money. “I’d had my first child, and the childcare bill was more than I was earning per month. So I did trials using my annual leave entitlement to earn some extra cash,” Ben told Euronews Health. The very first trial he participated in was for an anti-inflammatory drug and run by Quotient Sciences, a UK-based drug development company. “(Quotient Sciences) were a really great team who explained the trial and risks to me fully. I had...

A new strain of mpox that emerged in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) could become an international health threat if it isn’t contained soon – and while lessons from recent viral outbreaks offer a path forward, it’s unclear whether authorities will act quickly enough to rein in the virus. The DRC has been grappling with a major outbreak of mpox, formerly known as monkeypox, since September 2023. But it has reached a crisis level recently because the lethal new strain is spreading without sexual contact and may be evading diagnostic tests. Cases are also reaching record highs, and vac...

More African countries are trying to administer vaccines against human papillomavirus (HPV) which is responsible for nearly all cervical cancer cases, but challenges such as misinformation about the vaccine have slowed progress. The World Health Organization (WHO)'s Africa office estimates that about 25 per cent of the population still has doubts about it, reflecting concerns seen in some other parts of the world in early campaigns for the vaccine. HPV is a common sexually transmitted virus that can cause cervical cancer. An average of 190 women across Africa died daily from this type of cance...

A previous COVID-19 infection may lower your risk of getting a cold caused by a milder coronavirus cousin, according to new research. Endemic coronaviruses are thought to be responsible for 15 to 30 per cent of common colds in adults. Researchers found that people previously infected with COVID-19 had a 50 per cent lower chance of having a common cold caused by a coronavirus compared with people who were fully vaccinated and did not get COVID-19. “We think there’s going to be a future outbreak of a coronavirus,” said Dr Manish Sagar, senior author of the study published on Wednesday in the jou...

Hundreds of unused doses of yellow fever jabs have been left in hospitals in Uganda due to vaccine hesitancy. The East African country launched mass vaccination campaigns in 2023 and 2024, aiming to protect 27 million people, but only 12 million have been immunised. The single-dose vaccine has been offered free of charge to Ugandans between the ages of one and 60. Vaccination centres in the capital, Kampala, and elsewhere included schools, universities, hospitals and local government units. Before this, Ugandans usually paid to get the yellow fever shot at private clinics, for the equivalent o...

Washington (AFP) - An anti-vaccine group founded by US presidential contender Robert F. Kennedy Jr raised millions of dollars during the coronavirus pandemic, tax records show, boosting its coffers as it ramped up what experts call dangerous health misinformation. Children's Health Defense (CHD), repeatedly called out for promoting vaccine falsehoods, collected about $46 million between 2020 and 2022, roughly 10 times its revenue in the three years preceding the pandemic. CHD and four other non-profit organizations collectively raked in more than $100 million during that period, public tax rec...

Washington (AFP) - Moderna CEO Stephane Bancel told AFP his company's experimental vaccine against melanoma could be available in as little as two years, in what would amount to a landmark step against the most serious form of skin cancer. Globally there were an estimated 325,000 new melanoma cases and 57 ,000 deaths from the disease in 2020. "We think that in some countries the product could be launched under accelerated approval by 2025," he said in an interview. Unlike conventional vaccines, so-called therapeutic vaccines treat rather than prevent a disease. But they also work by training ...
