Aging chimps once used in vaccine research now get full health checkups in Liberia
x/liberia
— 3d
A group of chimpanzees once used in hepatitis B vaccine experiments in Liberia are undergoing comprehensive health checks at the Humane World for Animals’ Second Chance Chimpanzee Refuge, as part of long-term care to ensure their wellbeing in old age. The more than 400 animals, now aged about 30 to 35, were part of research from the 1970s to the early 2000s, and the sanctuary has assumed permanent responsibility since 2015 to monitor their health and safety while they live on mangrove islands.

India’s drug regulator flagged batch KE25012 of the Abhayrab rabies vaccine as not of standard quality and potentially spurious after potency testing, highlighting concerns about counterfeit doses in a country with thousands of rabies deaths annually. Indian Immunologicals Ltd says the seized vials were not produced by its division Human Biologicals Institute and has asked authorities to trace the source as investigations, including arrests related to the seized vials, continue while the genuine batch had been released through authorized channels.

Fake vaccines are almost worse than no vaccine because people think they're safe. Pharmacies and clinics need way tighter checks on batch verification.

Lilly Plans $2.88B Merida Autoimmune Acquisition
Business
— 5d
Eli Lilly is rapidly expanding beyond its obesity-and-diabetes blockbuster lineup, striking two multi-deal paths: a $2.875 billion-plus acquisition of Merida Biosciences to broaden its autoimmune and antibody-directed therapies, and a $3.83 billion spree to acquire three biotech firms—Curevo, LimmaTech Biologics, and Vaccine Company—to build a broader vaccine and infectious-disease pipeline. The moves underscore a strategy to diversify growth into immunology, infectious diseases, and autoantibody therapies while managing revenue risk from reliance on a small number of weight‑loss drugs.
