SINGAPORE: A 28-year-old man who died of myocarditis or inflammation of the heart three weeks after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine was otherwise healthy and had worked the day after the jab. State Coroner Adam Nakhoda had ruled Bangladeshi national Rajib's death a medical misadventure on Feb 15, saying it was likely related to the COVID-19 jab he had received. The coroner urged employers, especially of workers involved in strenuous labour activity, that workers who have just received a COVID-19 vaccine should not carry out any strenuous activity for the period of time that medical professionals have deemed necessary.  This is in order to minimise vaccine recipients contracting the possible ill effects of myocarditis and pericarditis, or to mitigate any such effects, he said. Myocarditis and pericarditis cause inflammation of the heart muscles and inflammation of the heart's outer lining respectively. WHAT HAPPENED According to the coroner...

Books December 12, 2022 Issue In Praise of Parasites? We think of them with revulsion, but a new book wants us to appreciate their redeeming qualities. By Jerome Groopman December 5, 2022 The word "parasite" has always carried moral opprobrium; before it became a biological term, it was used of human freeloaders. Illustration by Bjørn Rune Lie A vacation in the Catskills, one of those beautiful summer days which seem to go on forever, with family friends down at a local pond. I must have been six. I waded around happily, in and out of the tall grasses that grew in the murky water, but when I emerged onto the shore my legs were studded with small black creatures. "Leeches! Don't touch them!" my mother yelled. I stood terrified. My parents' friends lit cigarettes and applied the glowing ends to the parasites, which exploded, showering me with blood. Mom was right, up to a point. If you rip a leech off, you'll probably leave its jaws behind in the ...
