  • Let's hope that our natural (or herd) immunity keeps pace with these new variations!

    Let's hope the vaccines keep pace. To get natural immunity, you have to get infected and sick. That is a high price to pay. If you are over age 60, you are likely to die. It is much better to get immunity from a vaccine. Plus, if a new variant emerges, we can change the vaccines to work with it, whereas if all you have is natural immunity, you will have to get sick again, and risk death or long term illness again.

    "Furthermore, a recent study showed that SARS-CoV-2 RNA can be reverse-transcribed and integrated into the genome of human cells. In this study, we investigated the effect of BNT162b2 on the human liver cell line Huh7 in vitro. Huh7 cells were exposed to BNT162b2, and quantitative PCR was performed on RNA extracted from the cells."

    "Our results indicate a fast up-take of BNT162b2 into human liver cell line Huh7, leading to changes in LINE-1 expression and distribution. We also show that BNT162b2 mRNA is reverse transcribed intracellularly into DNA in as fast as 6 h upon BNT162b2 exposure."

  • It is btw great so see Swiss dropping their "neutrality" against this crime and war from Putin..

    This is a war against humanity. Same as CoV-19 was a war against humanity.


    Both wars have been initiated by about 40..50 world wide top oligarchs of different brand.


    This war against humanity will only end if the US people forces Biden to block all money of these disgusting subjects.

    So far only 20% of Putins money has been blocked. All Delaware/Cayman Island trustees and contacts of Putins friends must be contained and all controlled assets must be sized.


    Delaware and Singapore are the money black holes of this planet. I would immediately block all banks for accessing Singapore.

  • This has been a tough call by the staff on how to moderate talk on Ukraine. We all agree politics does not fit here on the forum, but this is such an emotional, and frightening issue, it keeps popping up. Understandably I should add.


    There are other politically oriented blogs/forums that welcome these discussions. Even the forum has the "Conversations" section that could be used privately. However, if you still feel compelled to express your concerns, fears and anger on this thread, please try and keep it to a minimum.


    Do your part to protect LF's mission of advancing the science. We have a good thing going here, so let us not do anything to mess it up.

  • Media Blackout: Demand Grows in India, Israel for Nasal Spray Indicated for COVID-19 ; Ignored by U.S. Media


    Media Blackout: Demand Grows in India, Israel for Nasal Spray Indicated for COVID-19 ; Ignored by U.S. Media
    The media blackout on an approved treatment for COVID-19 continues around the world. Even so called leaders in media tracking life sciences-related news

    The media blackout on an approved treatment for COVID-19 continues around the world. Even so called leaders in media tracking life sciences-related news utter not a word. TrialSite recently raised the question why no media in the West even mentioned Nitric Oxide Nasal Spray or “NONS” produced by Vancouver, Canada’s SaNOtize Research and Development Corp.


    After all, from Israel and Bahrain to Thailand and Indonesia to now India, this nasal therapy was now for sale as a treatment targeting COVID-19. Given that much of the SARS-CoV-2 virus infects nasal passageways, an approved, economical, accessible, and easy to administer treatment available at a pharmacy seems like big news. Are we missing something? In India, the drug is now available in pharmacies as Fairway. TrialSite readers report the product is available online in India. Back in India that some doctors warn not to use “indiscriminately” seems to be the most noticeable headline.


    Why did Indian regulators Authorize?

    Recently the Glenmark Pharmaceuticals Limited (Glenmark Pharma), an Indian generic pharmaceutical company received market authorization from the Control General of India as part of the accelerated approval process. This approval was based on Phase 3 clinical trial (CTRI/2021/08/035432) conducted at over 20 Indian trial sites including Peerless Hospital in Calcutta and others listed below.


    Titled “A clinical study to evaluate efficacy and safety of Nitric oxide nasal spray for treatment of COVID-19in the adult non-hospitalized patients” the study investigated use of NONs, two sprays in each nostril, six times a day or a maximum of seven days. As reported in Indian media, Nitric oxide is a pulmonary vasodilator, thus the spray not only does the drug create an active barrier that shields and even deactivates airborne pathogens such as SARS-CoV-2, but it may serve to protect viral entry beyond the nasal passages.



    The Results

    The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-arm study at 20 trial sites across the world’s second most populated nation investigated the use o NONS in 306 patients. The study sponsors (SaNOtize Research and Development Corp. & Glenmark Pharma) reported on the results in a press release that the study drug “reduced the SARS-CoV-2 log viral load in COVID-19 patients by more than 94% within 24 hours of treatment, and by more than 99% in 48 hours as compared to saline control.”


    Moreover, in a subset of the study cohort considered high-risk (n=218), the sponsors reported a “statistically significantly greater proportion of patients who achieved a combination of clinical and virological cure, based on the World Health Organization (WHO) Progression Scale.” Noteworthy, the median time to negative PCR in the NONS group was twice as fast (4 days) versus the saline study group (8 days). The study participants were infected with different variants and no significant adverse events were reported in this study nor in the over 500 participants treated thus with NONs in clinical trials.


    Study results haven’t been peer-reviewed yet. However, undoubtedly Indian regulators applied risk-benefit analysis given the pandemic.


    Media Reports

    Recently HealthWorld, part of India’s Economic Times shared that Calcutta’s Peerless Hospital, a participating trial site, reported that some patients turned [SARS-CoV-2] negative within 72 hours of using the NONS product.


    A pharmacy manager Rajendra Khandelwal shared with the media “There is a lot of expectation around the nasal spray, and we are getting regular queries from patients.” That pharmacist did not, however, that generally cases were considerably down anyway.


    Fortune India did a piece on the approval last week as did several Indian media announce the press release. Yet a review online of press releases and articles reveals that TrialSite was the only Western media to cover this significant milestone. For example, STAT, the award-winning online news covering life sciences research and commercialization—not a peep.


    The media doesn’t share much in Israel either. The nasal spray is branded in that eastern Mediterranean nation as Enovid and while multiple media covered the clinical trials there—such as the Jerusalem Post.-–as well as Reuters reporting on the interim approval in that country. The U.S. media—missing in Action

  • Had Omicron? You probably won’t get BA.2

    Early evidence from Denmark suggests that previous infection with the BA.1 version of the Omicron coronavirus variant provides strong protection against its relative BA.2, which is growing in prevalence. Few people contracted BA.2 after infection with BA.1, which squares with similar findings in the United Kingdom. The findings brought one more piece of good news, says molecular epidemiologist and study author Troels Lillebaek: “It’s predominantly young, unvaccinated persons where we see this reinfection with BA.2. It kind of indicates that vaccination does give you some protection.”

  • It kind of indicates that vaccination does give you some protection.”

    RNA gene therapy does a general immune stimulation and at best adds 15% protection for Omicron but destroyed by the wrong antibodies. A bit better does it look for moderna. But vaccinated get tested 3..10 x less often than unvaxx so its (protection) all a fake...I urge to not believe such crap data.


    Look at UK data - vaccine report week 8. "Vaccinated" only (group size max. 30% 10% for age < 20) age <40 die more often than unvaxx and go up to 3x more often to hospital. So what protects is always recovered + vaccinated.

    Omicron is a totally harmless virus for most. The actual death figures are from long time delta patients and most deaths are with Omicron but not dying from Omicron.


    My wive her brother and also mother in law (Japan) all got Omicron. It was just a nasty cold at worst.

    Important:: Do some treatment and of course if you cant buy a good NOx spray use iodine lotion.


    The pandemic is over. Only investors and fascist leaders like Biden/Macron/Schulz like the power of the fake narrative. Sounds like Putin...

  • The pandemic is over.

    Kiwis can fly... en masse migration from Australia to NZ starts

    .. no booster required.... no isolation,,,,1 month ago they said I needed 10 days isolation because of Omicron

    ..as of yesterday this is zero

    end of Pfizer's gold trail..

    New Zealand ends isolation rules for vaccinated travellers from Australia as transmission rates soar
    Change comes as NZ, virus-free for much of pandemic, records some of world’s highest transmission rates amid Omicron surge

  • shit for big pharma!

    I'd rather have Omicron than the BS from Pfizer

    "

    Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla on Tuesday said that people circulating misinformation about the COVID-19 vaccines are “criminals.”

    “Those people are criminals,” said Bourla to Atlantic Council CEO Frederick Kempe.

    “They’re not bad people. They’re criminals because they have literally cost millions of lives.”


    “The only thing that stands between the new way of life and the current way of life is, frankly, hesitancy to vaccinations,” he said."

    Pfizer CEO Calls People Who Spread Misinformation About COVID Vaccines 'Criminals'

  • There was a time not too long ago, when a CEO would have gotten into a lot of trouble for saying something like that. Oh, how times have changed.

  • Pfizer claims immune stimulation gene therapy being a vaccine. This is sick brain logic and criminal.

    Pfizer claims boosters increases protection. This is also sick brain logic as Pfizer just counts the newly generated antibodies that are of no use!


    Facts: People with boosters die more often than unvaxx! Especially among age < 30! Pfizer boosters kill people and give no protection compared to simple treatment.


    India did not buy RNA fake vaccines. It has the lowest death rate of all vaccinated countries...


    Only highly criminal people recommend RNA gene therapy for Omicron a more or less harmless classic corona virus.

  • Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla on Tuesday said that people circulating misinformation about the COVID-19 vaccines are “criminals.”

    I don't endorse the messenger, but if we're not going to isolate (Japan, New Zealand) then vaccines (available everywhere) or treatments (expensive, or unproven), or wear masks everywhere, than vaccines are our last best hope.

    How many dead in the US because of the unvaccinated? (.. up to Delta, saved lives and restricted transmission: Omicron, saves lives but transmits).

    200K? 500K?

    vs Worst-case VAERS deaths? 10K ???

    Sure, natural immunization can be good ... IF you survive the first case.

    I'll unblock the W-man for 24 hours, since HE seems to have an opinion on the Criminality.
