    F.D.A. Advisors Weigh Shots for the Very Young, With Key Data Outstanding

    Two doses have little effect on those under 5; results from testing three doses are weeks away. Liberal-leaning states like New York, Illinois and Massachusetts are letting mask mandates expire, getting ahead of federal guidance.

    Scientific advisers to the Food and Drug Administration will decide next week whether to endorse giving two doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus vaccine to children 6 months to 4 years of age, before clinical trials have shown whether a full course of three doses is effective. Such an authorization would be a first for the agency, many experts say.


    Interim results suggested that two doses of the vaccine did not produce a strong immune response in children aged 2 through 4. Results from trials of the third dose are expected in a few weeks.


    The companies applied for authorization for the two doses at the urging of the F.D.A., which was also highly unusual.


    The fast-moving pandemic has forced federal health officials to make important decisions with limited data before, and they argue that it’s important to begin vaccinating young children now, before a new, potentially more dangerous variant arrives.


    But the agency’s review of incomplete data as a basis for authorization has alarmed some experts.


    “We’ve never done that before, that’s what gives me some pause,” said Dr. Gregory Poland, founder and director of the Mayo Vaccine Research Group in Minnesota and editor in chief of the journal Vaccine. “I don’t like that there isn’t more data.”


    The third dose is likely to build up immunity in young children, Dr. Poland and several other experts said, but it is not guaranteed to do so. With the ebbing of the Omicron surge, many scientists feel the agency could afford to wait for results on the third shots, which are expected in just a few weeks.

    Number of CoV-19 Deaths (10.Feb.2022 - 850) in Kerala is really scary. Kerala outpaces almost all other countries... Cases still 80x higher than in UP. This is the ultimate proof of vaccine only failure.


    The same we see in USA that has an outraging high CoV-19 death number also thanks to expensive killer treatments with Gillead crap drugs. Israel looks similar with about 3x deaths compared to e.g. Switzerland during Omicron phase. May be they just count in "with's" as this is good for "vaccinne" propaganda...

    LarryG:

    There are not statistics I can link you to, but my profession makes me read RG everyday and I made a calculation of which is the average physics paper readings number to compare it to the readings of

    http://www.researchgate.net/publication/330601653_E-Cat_SK_and_Iong_range_particle_interactions

    that today is over 91200 readings

    and observed that the readings of the paper published by Andrea Rossi is superior of 2 orders of magnitude to such average.

    Best

    Prof


    ………..


    Still has the highest reads to citations ratio in RG…. A very bad metric indeed.



    Rossi’s E-cat Chat in your Hat

    Quote from Wyttenbach

    Readings have almost no meaning on RG. This just means you once clicked download... Better is to know who did download.

    Obviously the click farm has been doing its job.

    YouTube is much better at blocking fake views.


    I looked at a real Doctor’s RG page with high reads. He had 45000 reads, and 18000 citations on one article, among several others with typically about 2000-3000 citations each.

    I think my bro' gets his madness from one of our ANCESTORS who is Jonathan Swift (wrote political satire e.g. Gulliver's Travels). He proposed to the King at that time (Mad King George) that the Irish Starvation Problem could be solved by feeding them sausages made from dead English corpses. Unfortunately the Church stepped in and prevented this novel supply of cannibal's sausages so the Irish carried on starving during the years of the potato blight. After all dead bodies are just protein, fat and carbohydrate, the basis of a sound diet. And if you find this disgusting remember those passengers who crashed in the Andes? Oh CANNIBALISM was OK under those CIRCUMSTANCES. Catholic Hypocrisy Rules OK. :) :) :)

    Israel: World’s Exemplar For Pandemic Response, Now Indicates Global Failure

    Israel is arguably the most studied nation of the pandemic, and the data signals now emerging are extremely worrisome. Along with its sky-high triple and quadruple vaccination rates, Israel has been the most data-rich environment of this pandemic with a relatively small, densely packed population, a sophisticated health system, and, most importantly, a world-class medical research infrastructure replete with highly qualified investigators and scientists.


    The country has also been a focal point of apex research institutes and academic medical centers in the United States. Israel’s COVID-19 policy choices and research findings ripple across the rest of the world.


    It was in Israel, for example, where researchers observed the waning of the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna mRNA-based vaccines due to more virulent and transmissible variants of SARS-CoV-2, including delta and omicron.


    Israel was also the first to implement a third booster shot, and several months later, a fourth booster (and controversially, some high-profile health leaders even discussed a fifth booster).



    The pandemic started in this eastern Mediterranean nation back in April 2020 and the vaccination process started December 19, 2020.


    Based on Ministry of Health data, TrialSite has reported that vaccination has led to reductions in severe infection and mortality, but it didn’t stop viral transmission, contrary to early pronouncements.


    The third booster wave started in August 2021 during the worst delta-driven COVID-19 surge, and by early October, just under 40% of the population had received a third booster, mostly elderly individuals deemed at risk and immunocompromised.


    Cases momentarily declined but shot up again in a distributing pattern, this time with a highly transmissible omicron variant. All infection records were shattered, and the death toll climbed.


    Meanwhile, little coverage of this critical news made it past America’s pro-vaccine news media gauntlet. Few asked, based on the alarming data emerging from Israel’s highly vaccinated population: was the great COVID-19 vaccination experiment in Israel failing?


    Magnitude of the Situation

    COVID cases in Israel since the pandemic began.

    The still-mounting fifth wave threatens to overtake the third wave, previously the deadliest.


    By January 1, 2022, 46.2% of the entire population had received a third booster of the Pfizer-BioNTech Comirnaty yet the infections exploded due to omicron, seemingly a milder variant of concern. Despite the continuous public health message that vaccination would curtail the most severe disease and death, the death toll mounted during the past five weeks.


    According to the Johns Hopkins University COVID-19 Data Repository by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE), one death associated with COVID-19 was reported on January 1, 2022. By January 30, 2022, fatalities associated with COVID-19 hit 80 in one day. Two days later, the ministry reported 121 deaths as omicron, a milder variant, triggered a dangerous trajectory.


    Just four days ago, Israeli press such as the Times of Israel announced the record infections, high positive test rates of just under 30% nationwide yet the Times of Israel avoided the more controversial topic—a near-record surge in mortality.


    Why were so many people dying in such a highly vaccinated—and boosted—population? What was the breakdown of these deaths? While the nation’s “coronavirus czar” Salman Zarka emphasized the nation’s dwindling unvaccinated population, he carefully avoided any critical vetting of the vaccine product itself. Was the vaccine failing against this new variant? That the mRNA-based vaccine effects waned against new variants of concern wasn’t new.


    TrialSite reported in August 2020 that with delta, 90% of the hospitalized were vaccinated in at least one hospital. Of course, this was partially explained by the fact that most of the population was vaccinated. The leadership of that hospital quickly responded to TrialSite, reporting that the booster program was working.


    In a recent piece in the Times of Israel, the health ministry continued to emphasize the upside of the vaccine, declaring, “Serious cases were much more common among the unvaccinated.”


    According to Israeli Ministry of Health data, for the population of 60 years and above, serious cases occurred at 416.6 per 100,000 in unvaccinated as opposed to 35.9 for the vaccinated.


    But what about deaths? The press and ministry aren’t sharing those numbers, at least not yet.


    What about other hospitalization numbers by other age groups? Israel is now experiencing record hospitalization rates due to SARS-CoV-2. Suddenly, when it matters, information in the world’s most advanced, data-rich COVID pandemic site is hard to come by. Why is that?


    With such a high infection rate over the past several weeks, hospitals have been pushed to their edge. Dr. Ariel Rokach at Shaare Zedek Medical Center shared with the Times of Israel that even though omicron represents a less virulent strain of COVID-19, its transmissibility makes the sheer number of infections lead to horrible outcomes.


    Rokach cautioned that vaccination was important, declaring, “It’s true that the vaccine isn’t so effective in preventing infection, but we see that it makes a big difference in preventing severe disease.” He continued “We’re really lucky that most of the population took vaccinations, and I think this is the reason omicron is not causing many more cases of severe disease.”


    Thankfully, infections appear on a downward trajectory as of February 10, 2022. By February 9, the seven-day new daily case average was 39,870. Reported deaths remain disturbingly high for this small nation of just under 9 million people. That same day, 59 persons died due to COVID-19 based on the seven-day case average. Hospitalization rates hit their all-time high on February 5th at 3,457. The breakdown of hospitalization by all age cohorts and vaccination status aren’t available as of yet.


    Moving Forward

    Despite record-high caseloads, in an acknowledgment of their failure to impact omicron’s transmissibility or virulence, Israel decided last week to drop its vaccine passport. Why was the American press, which was so supportive of U.S. vaccine passes after Israel’s initial implementation of Green Cards, so quiet on this topic?


    Also, given the marketed benefits of mRNA -based vaccines—their flexibility, adeptness and efficiency—why hasn’t Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna updated their products for the more dangerous variants?


    The current vaccines are designed to take on the original wildtype SARS-CoV-2 only. Is the omicron variant, in fact, “the fall of vaccines”? In light of credible theories that this is a manmade virus and failing vaccine efficacy against what may be a manmade virus, should we attribute our rescue from the virus to nature’s mercy rather than our vaunted multinational pharmaceutical complex?


    Objectively just how good are these mRNA-based vaccines now that we have the data? What is their real impact on rates of death, hospitalization, and severe illness? Why have so many vaccinated persons become infected? Given the economics of the vaccine—Pfizer reported over $30 billion in their first year (although they are forecasting a negative adjustment with new risks associated with the product) and onerous contractual terms, what have Israel and other nations learned about negotiations with pharmaceutical companies? What do we do about the apparent regulatory capture of national and global health agencies revealed during this pandemic?


    This media raises the important but unpopular mainstream question about early treatment using repurposed drugs.


    Two years into the pandemic, the vast overwhelming allocation of taxpayer dollars went to advanced, exotic vaccines and novel (and expensive) therapies. What about the physicians on the front lines who sought out repurposed drugs to treat people early on? Why were they systematically ostracized, disparaged as “fringe” and punished? Those who have spoken against evidently inadequate public health responses were cut off from the mainstream and made victims of censorship and bans on various social media. In the United States and other nations, physicians critical of mandated vaccine requirements and proponents of off-label treatments were targeted by medical boards and stripped of licensure to practice, they were prey to professional ad hominem attacks and forced resignations from employers for not following federalized “Guidelines Therapy.”


    In light of the data now emerging from Israel, what lessons have been learned and how can humanity progress beyond this historic tragedy of our own making?

    ABC, CBS, NBC also ignored the anti-lockdown study


    CNN, MSNBC, NYT, WaPo completely avoid Johns Hopkins study finding COVID lockdowns ineffective
    A new study concluding lockdowns 'should be rejected as a pandemic policy instrument' was ignored by the vast majority of the liberal media.
    www.foxnews.com


    There has been a full-on media blackout of the new study outlining the ineffectiveness of lockdowns to prevent COVID deaths.


    According to a Johns Hopkins University meta-analysis of several studies, lockdowns during the first COVID wave in the spring of 2020 only reduced COVID mortality by .2% in the U.S. and Europe.


    "While this meta-analysis concludes that lockdowns have had little to no public health effects, they have imposed enormous economic and social costs where they have been adopted," the researchers wrote. "In consequence, lockdown policies are ill-founded and should be rejected as a pandemic policy instrument."

    However, the Johns Hopkins study received no mention on any of the five liberal networks this week. According to Grabien transcripts, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS and NBC all ignored the anti-lockdown findings after having spent much of the pandemic shaming red states with minimal restrictions and events deemed by critics as "superspreaders."


    It wasn't just the networks avoiding the study. The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Associated Press, Reuters, USA Today, Axios, Politico among other outlets also turned a blind eye to the findings, according to search results.

    The researchers – Johns Hopkins University economics professor Steve Hanke, Lund University economics professor Lars Jonung, and special advisor at Copenhagen's Center for Political Studies Jonas Herby – analyzed the effects of lockdown measures such as school shutdowns, business closures, and mask mandates on COVID-19 deaths.


    "We find little to no evidence that mandated lockdowns in Europe and the United States had a noticeable effect on COVID-19 mortality rates," the researchers wrote.


    The researchers also examined shelter-in-place orders, finding that they reduced COVID-19 mortality by 2.9%.




    Studies that looked at only shelter-in-place orders found they reduced COVID-19 mortality by 5.1%, but studies that looked at shelter-in-place orders along with other lockdown measures found that shelter-in-place orders actually increased COVID-19 mortality by 2.8%.


    The researchers concluded that limiting gatherings may have actually increased COVID-19 mortality.


    "[Shelter-in-place orders] may isolate an infected person at home with his/her family where he/she risks infecting family members with a higher viral load, causing more severe illness," the researchers wrote.


    "But often, lockdowns have limited peoples’ access to safe (outdoor) places such as beaches, parks, and zoos, or included outdoor mask mandates or strict outdoor gathering restrictions, pushing people to meet at less safe (indoor) places."

    The researchers also examined studies that focused on specific lockdown measures and found that the only intervention that reduced COVID-19 mortality was the closure of non-essential businesses, which reduced mortality by 10.6%, but this effect was likely driven by the closure of bars.


    Researchers also pointed out other unintended consequences of lockdowns, such as rising unemployment, reduced schooling, an increase in domestic violence incidents, and surging drug overdoses.

    From May 2020 to April 2021, the U.S. recorded 100,306 drug overdose deaths, a 28.5% increase from the 78,056 deaths that were recorded in the previous 12-month period, according to CDC data.


    A study from the National Commission on COVID-19 and Criminal Justice last year found that domestic violence incidents increased 8.1% in the U.S. after lockdown orders were issued.

    About 97% of U.S. teachers said that their students have experienced learning loss during the coronavirus pandemic, according to a Horace Mann survey last year.


    The unemployment rate peaked nationwide at 14.8% in April 2020, but declined to 3.9% in December, which is still slightly higher than the 3.5% rate it was at in February 2020.


    "These costs to society must be compared to the benefits of lockdowns, which our meta-analysis has shown are marginal at best," the researchers in the Johns Hopkins University study wrote. "Such a standard benefit-cost calculation leads to a strong conclusion: lockdowns should be rejected out of hand as a pandemic policy instrument."

    The media doing what they do best,

    Twist turn and pervert bits and pieces and parts of disparate data to fit their political ideology.


    Fox News and CNN are opposite sides of the same coin, the

    “Blindly believe what we tell you to believe” coin, and for whatever reason, a lot of people seem to do just that.

    Quote from Fm1

    That same day, 59 persons died due to COVID-19 based on the seven-day case average. Hospitalization rates hit their all-time high on February 5th at 3,457. The breakdown of hospitalization by all age cohorts and vaccination status aren’t available as of yet.

    "Vaccines" only kill. You can look at Kerala (India sub state). The media do what they are paid for as most people do in our perfect, free and democratic world.


    As I said more than a year ago. Democracy means you can select a nice asshole or a dumb asshole as your next temporary king (president). But we made a lot of progress. People now freely decide for suicide either by a voluntary gene therapy or by relinquishing to use the live saving drugs as these are way to cheap for a precious free live of outmost high value.


    Now where the famous war of idiots is over we have planted close to 1 million crosses in the USA alone. Only the poorest states e.g. in Africa did see more harm. They still miss they joy of being elected for gene therapy, they have to put back the cross into the closet and worst this damn old neighbor is still alive...


    I'm lucky. Nobody close to me had to buy a cross and long covid is a short word that does stick nowhere...

    UK:: Vaccine report week 6:: https://assets.publishing.serv…illance-report-week-6.pdf


    Efficiency of Pfizer crap booster ca. 40%. But within 8 weeks from now gone again. So all UK "vaccines" boosters basically are crap in view of Omicron.


    But now 99.1% have S antibodies what means only a few unvaxx (about 4% of the population) had no contact so far.


    Booster makes no difference for Omicron infection protection = none....

    Also the protection from death is down again effectively negative for age 80+ and age < 30 !!!!! if you count in that at least 2/3 are now recovered. In fact for age <30 its even higher than 2/3 recovered.

    So "vaccines" are highly damaging for age < 30!
