  • Vitamin D inhibits mesenchymal transition of mesothelial cells

    The pharma mafia since more that 20 years runs a dedicated campaign everywhere they have access to prohibit people from taking enough V-D3 supplements. The main idea is to promote 500IU's for a daily maximum...

    Age > 60 needs 5000/day + V-K2 to see a very positive effect like at least 30% less cancer etc...

    Abstract

    Summary Natural killer (NK) cells are cytotoxic effector cells that target and lyse virally-infected cells; many viruses therefore encode mechanisms to escape such NK cell killing. Here, we interrogated the ability of SARS-CoV-2 to modulate NK cell recognition and lysis of infected cells. We found that NK cells exhibit poor cytotoxic responses against SARS-CoV-2-infected targets, preferentially killing uninfected bystander cells. We demonstrate that this escape is driven by downregulation of ligands for the activating receptor NKG2D (“NKG2D-L”). Indeed, early in viral infection, prior to NKG2D-L downregulation, NK cells are able to target and kill infected cells; however, this ability is lost as viral proteins are expressed. Finally, we found that SARS-CoV-2 non-structural protein 1 (Nsp1) mediates downregulation of NKG2D-L and that Nsp1 alone is sufficient to confer resistance to NK cell killing. Collectively, our work reveals that SARS-CoV-2 evades NK cell cytotoxicity and describes a mechanism by which this occurs.

    And really? Someone certified a heap of wires and electronics, mostly not even connected, as safe? As a energy generator? As compliant with all European commerce specifications for an electronic product designed to be powered by the mains?
    LOL. Maybe someone is certifiable…

  • Here is an article by the same author describing the homicidal public health response in Sweden, which killed and disabled thousands of people, and continued long after anyone could see it was a disaster:


    Sweden’s Deadly COVID Failure | The Tyee The verdict is in on the nation’s light touch approach. More died. Herd immunity proved a mirage. thetyee.ca


    Why anyone would point to Sweden as an example of how to respond to COVID is beyond me.


    Why not go to https://ourworldindata.org/excess-mortality-covid and compare countries like Sweden to other countries when it comes to excess mortality. Sweden is faring quite well.


    What is really rich in the article Jed links to at https://thetyee.ca/Analysis/20…den-Deadly-COVID-Failure/


    is the author saying that Sweden took a "radical course" in not following the strict lockdowns, school closings, mandates and masking that other countries took!


    Incredible. Sweden does the conservative thing, the kind of thing recommended by the WHO for decades, and it is called "radical". Meanwhile, what China and then Italy did (to its shame) is regarded as the new normal way of doing things. The kind of people behind this new authoritarian, technocratic ideology have no qualms about weakening and disrupting western societies. Why? So they can 'build back better' of course! Sure, it may mean that inflation is at 10 percent and interest rates are steadily rising, and the world's poor are facing starvation in increasing numbers, and family farmland is being legislated out of operation, but just bear with it for a while and it will be worth it! The corporations and stakeholders have your back, and soon the pain will pass, you'll own nothing and be happy.

    Yes, certifiable as coarse scammer.

  • Oh really, magician? That's amazing...

    A Third Party at same level of the Levi's tests hoax.

    I like Levi.

    Somebody that went as far to

    put his job on the line.

    At least that is the way I look at it.

    Dear Andrea,

    Are you and Dr. Levi still friends and do you still communicate?

    Friendly regards.

    Actually we have not been in contact after the tests of the UNIBO report, but I always considered and continue to consider him an intelletually honest individual. He is a Professor of Physics of one of the most important universities of the world. Everybody has understood that he has been forced to sign the “erratum” and I can understand why he signed it: he has two daughters and one son, all aged between 12 and 18 years…

    He would never write that pout-purri of stupidities, written from somebody that has a very poor education in the matter, let alone sign them in a normal situation. He can’t talk, but we can understand all the same.

    Warm Regards,

    A.R.

  • That is the "job".

    Doubts? call the University... the phone number is available.

    Magician's chatter are just rubbish.

    Changed the title of the thread from “The Playground” to “The Playground - No more Covid Games Please.”.
  • He put his job on the line for an obvious stupidity, where he does not know himself how to do the measurements properly. He is lucky.
