    [Poll] Experiences of PWME taking the contraceptive pill

    Really? I didn't know that. I thought it was restricted to 10 days, and then only for what you might call exceptional circumstances rather than regular use?

    Covid-19 vaccines and vaccinations

    Hmm, I think I'd want to see more evidence than simply one study carried out on less than 500 participants. Is there some? Surely there must be, for whatever the agency is now called to approve it for use in the UK? I'm also intrigued as to how effective something targeting two completely...

    Mpox, formerly called Monkeypox
