6 Months After Leaving the Hospital, Covid Survivors Still Face Lingering Health Issues

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/0…d-survivors-longterm.html

For millions of coronavirus survivors, it’s an increasingly important question: How common, how serious and how long-lasting are the physical and mental aftereffects of Covid-19?

A new study — believed to be the largest so far in which doctors evaluated patients six months after they became ill — suggests that many people will experience lingering problems like fatigue, insomnia, depression, anxiety or diminished lung function.

Alan I sent a copy of your friends article to the author of this article. His paper needs to be read by other researchers.

Immune Memory to COVID-19 Virus Assessed for up to 8 Months after Infection The study includes 43 samples taken from more than 6 months after infection (number of samples analyzed: 254, number of COVID-19 cases analyzed: 188). Researchers observed that each component of SARS-CoV-2 immune memory exhibited distinct kinetics. IgG antibodies to the spike protein was relatively stable over 6 months, spike-specific memory B cells were higher in concentration at 6 months compared to 1st month during the start of symptoms. But SARS-CoV-2-specific CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells declined with a half-life of 3-5 months.

At the very end the effectiveness of Covid-19 vaccines wouldn't differ very much from vaccines against flu both in efficiency numbers, both in persistence time. The vaccination concept has apparently its limit at the case of viral agents: not only these viruses mutate fast, but even our immune systems have limited memory evolved for them - probably from good reasons: for to remain prepared for another wave of infections without loading organism with autoimmune complications too much.

From this perspective the RNA vaccines represent both feature for Big Pharma companies both complication for their customers: they can remain cheaper, because they turn cells in every person vaccinated into cultivators of their antibodies according to RNA recipe/program injected. So that even greenfield companies like Moderna inexperienced in cultivation of antibodies for classical vaccines can distribute them freely without demands to special equipment (which is an analogy of distribution of Open Source programs in form of source code within IT industry).

But the functionality of these programs must cease down fast - or the cells producing antibodies would itself become a target for immune cells, trained to seek and destroy these antibodies. After all, this problem would have RNA vaccines common with classical vaccines equipped with adjuvant particles (aluminium precipitates) or vesicles (squalene etc.), which mimic bacteria for immune cells first but after while they become a centers of autoimmune inflammation, once they persist in organism for too long (typically aluminium adjuvant bound to neural membranes leading to multiple sclerosis etc.).

Even if we neglect the apparent risk of abuse of RNA a vaccines, which in principle would enable to smuggle any "malware" into organism in form undetectable with chemical analysis, the risk of horizontal gene transfer for example to gut bacteria remains much higher than at the case of classical vaccines. The fact that these vaccinations must be repeated frequently and they soon became mandatory for wide groups of society opens the ways for both various dystopian experiments with society, both vectors for terrorist attacks analogous with computer industry.

As Coronavirus Mutates, the World Stumbles Again to Respond

A South African tip led to the discovery of mutations around the world. With infections skyrocketing, “it’s a race against time.”

The coronavirus has evolved as it made its way across the world, as any virus is expected to do. But experts have been startled by the pace at which significant new variants have emerged, adding new urgency to the race between the world’s best defenses — vaccinations, lockdowns and social distancing — and an aggressive, ever-changing foe.

The new variant pummeling Britain has already been found in about 45 countries, from Singapore to Oman to Jamaica, but many countries are effectively flying blind, with little sense of how bad the problem may be.

The immune system and COVID: It’s still confusing

https://news.google.com/articl…=en-US&gl=US&ceid=US%3Aen

It's clear that the immune system can mount a robust response to SARS-CoV-2, as the vaccine trials have made clear. Beyond that, though, there are a lot of question marks. People exposed to the virus don't always produce much in the way of antibodies to it, and there have been a number of cases of reinfection. We're not sure how long immunity lasts or whether it correlates with antibody levels or something else–there hasn't even been great evidence that antibodies are helpful.

To give some sense of the challenge of sorting all of this out, we're going to look at three recently published papers that get at the interplay between the immune system and COVID-19. One finally provides some evidence that antibodies might be protective, another indicates that tamping down the inflammatory response might help, while the third suggests that immunosuppressives don't affect disease outcomes at all.

No evidence homegrown variant is fueling coronavirus surge in the US, CDC says

https://news.google.com/articl…=en-US&gl=US&ceid=US%3Aen

CNN)There is no evidence the United States has a homegrown variant of coronavirus that's fueling the recent increased spread of the virus, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Friday

The White House Coronavirus Task Force told states last week "there may be a USA variant that has evolved here, in addition to the UK variant that is already spreading in our communities," according to reports obtained by CNN.

Task force says yes, CDC says no......... Same old same old, confusion is king

FM,

Are these “re-infection” cases with the original virus, or are these people getting

re-infected with a mutation of Covid - 19?

Im not sure even experts can answer that. Immunity in sars and mers remains to this day as antibodies are still robust but that doesn't seem to be the case here. Some patients' show strong antibodies months after while others show little to none. I tend to lean towards severe vitamin deficenccy being responsible for reinfection and long Covid, but I'm just an ordinary person probably incapable of doing the research as some here believe.

Quote from Shane D.

We have been through this before. Look back and you will find that you backed off when presented with those 253 HCQ studies.

No, I did not. I have nothing to back off from. I have not taken sides. I cannot judge this issue, and I have not read the reports. Here is what I am saying: The consensus of expert opinion is that HCQ does not work. Anyone can see that is the consensus from reports in the mass media and the scientific literature. Anyone can also see there are many dissenting experts, so it is not a strong consensus.

Obviously, the consensus view of experts is not always right. In a few cases, a near unanimous view has proven wrong. So this is not proof that HCQ does not work. But it is a strong indication of that. As I said, that's the Damon Runyon principle: "The race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong; but that is the way to bet."

That's science for you. If you think this is confused, look at cold fusion.

There is a common nature of new discoveries, new science, the treatment for newly emerged diseases, and new technology such as microcomputers in 1978. They are a confused mess. They present more questions than answers. In retrospect, there is usually more wrong about them than right. Or at least, more dysfunction and more bad ideas than good ones. That's why these things usually change and improve quickly.

Confusion is better than pure ignorance. Misdirection, doubling back, and going off in a different direction is better than standing still. As FDR said: "It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something."

To bad FDR isn't running the FDA, Ivermectin would be saving the world, instead we are told to go home and get better. Treat early, treat often and for gods sake treat all

https://www.pnas.org/content/pnas/111/2/787.full.pdfIn the largest observational study of its kind, including close to 100,000 people in 671 hospitals on six continents, investigators compared outcomes in 15,000 . . .

You live on a garbage dump! Why do you even mention studies inside hospitals, when the therapy(protocol) is made for early outpatient treatment?

Quote from Mark U

That reminds me of the situation with the whooping cough (Pertussis) vaccine, where the vaccinated become asymptomatic carriers and transmitters, rather than having symptoms and isolating at home.

The study: https://www.pnas.org/content/pnas/111/2/787.full.pdf

Good find and hopefully some of the eugenic folks asking for privileges for CoV-19 vaccinated people start to understand such an idiotic idea.

Here one case had an outdoor exposition and a strong short response to the virus. Unluckily this first redaction took some days where he joined the living room with his wive. So she go a long duration initial dose more or less with the same symptoms (thanks to early treatment) but much longer lasting!

So it's absolute key to know/estimate the first viral load. The treatment must be different and also the supervision of patients. The guy who infected my uncle never saw daylight again, what should be warning about how fast it can go!

But Germany is also a country where some people who fall severely ill with Covid-19 can find themselves taken to hospitals where they are treated, under sedation and without a formalised opt-in procedure, with ginger-soaked chest compresses and homeopathic pellets containing highly diluted particles of iron supposedly harvested from shooting stars that have landed on earth.

Another new coronavirus variant found in Japan

https://www.japantimes.co.jp/n…oronavirus-variant-japan/

Another new variant of the novel coronavirus has been found in Japan, the health ministry said Sunday.

The new mutant strain, which is partly similar to different variants reported in the U.K. and South Africa, was detected in four infected people who arrived from Brazil, the ministry said.

With no information available on the transmissibility of the newly found variant, whether it could cause severe symptoms and whether or not it is resistant to vaccines, the National Institute of Infectious Diseases and others are conducting detailed research on the virus strain.

1918........ Treat early, treat often and treat all!!!

Fact Sheet #2: Are the Top Five Coronavirus Vaccine Candidates Safe?

Se below: So far Johnson & Johnson looks best with least chance of adverse effects. But no vaccine gives you the same 99.5% protection as Iveremctin can give you!

Coronavirus vaccines:

a) Enjoy an accelerated approval process, with a lower standard for efficacy;

b) Have billions of taxpayer dollars invested in their development

c) Will make huge profits if chosen to go to market

e) Have had large numbers of adverse events in their trials: serious health and neurological issues, and at least one death;

f) Have clinical trials deliberately designed to succeed with vaccine candidates receiving approval after just 150 individuals out of 15,000 (1% of the test group) experience milder symptoms of COVID

g) Are not being tested to prevent person-to-person transmission

Top 5 coronavirus vaccine candidates:

Moderna Therapeutics (in phase 3 trials)lmRNA technologylContains the adjuvant PEG (polyethylene glycol), a substance shown to trigger serious adverse immune responseslIn the first phase of human trials 100% of participants in the medium & high-dose groups had an adverse event.

21% of participants in the high dose group had a “serious” adverse event.

BioNTech & Pfizer (in phase 2/3 trials)lmRNA technology

50% of those aged 18 – 55 in Pfizer’s trial had adverse events

No second dose of the highest dose vaccine was given due to “unsatisfactory tolerability”by trial participants

Astrazeneca & Oxford Centre (in phase 1/2 trials)

The trials were temporarily suspended due to three severe adverse events. There has been one death reported, one participant developed MS, another developed transverse myelitis.

Uses a genetically-engineered chimp adenovirus (another use of a monkey virus, SV40, is known to cause cancer.)

No true saline placebo used. The meningitis vaccine is being used as the comparator which masks the adverse events of the COVID vaccine, as the meningitis vaccine has many pronounced side effects

Johnson & Johnson (in phase 1/2 trials)

Genetic splicing of human adenovirus with coronavirus spike protein

Adenovirus-based products have been linked to serious adverse events such as lethal inflammatory responses, resulting in the death of an 18 year-old in 1999

Sanofi & GlaxoSmithKline (in phase 1 trials)

Use of a genetically-engineered virus

AS03, a squalene adjuvant, has many documented health concerns. Squalene, intended to elicit a strong immune response, is suspected as the culprit in both Gulf War Syndrome and H1N1 Narcolepsy.

Candida auris: Killer fungus spreading rapidly in coronavirus wards in US

https://news.google.com/articl…=en-US&gl=US&ceid=US%3Aen

A mysterious and deadly fungal infection called Candida Auris at a Florida hospital has become the cause of dozens of hospitalisations.

The yeast infection may have been caused due to the reuse of the personal protective equipment (PPE), as per a report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The multidrug-resistant yeast was first identified in Japan in 2009 and has been a top priority for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in recent years because of its increasing global spread.

Another troubling aspect of US policy to just go home. Treat early treat often and treat all, it will take the pressure off hospitals

Covid in the US is spiraling out of control yet the FDA will not allow emergency use of a number of drugs shown in small study's to have benefit when used as outpatient treatment. And the topping is the FDA will wait till the end of March to discuss the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine. Record numbers are infected and dying and all we can depend on is about 30 million doses of Vaccine. Sure more to come but in the meantime at present rates the US will suffer over 250,000 deaths in a little over 6 weeks, more than in the same 6 week period in 1918 when 200,000 died in the second wave.i just don't get it, why be hesitant at this point, some that could be saved will die unnecessarily. How long can we remain quiet, and just accept, while waiting to be infected and possibly die?

There is a reasons Americans still wear guns. But for such mass killers as the FDA "bribe suckers" I would prefer 1000 years in jail. But this " free Ivermectin" will not change with Biden or they will "change him".

People will have to learn that the actual generation of free masons/rotary folks behaves like the famous blood sucker Zombies Hollywood predicted some 30 years ago!

Damn near spit my coffee across the room, blood sucking zombies. That's the best one this week! And I'm afraid to admit it but I agree.

Again let me point out that the FDA cannot stop any doctor from the off-label use of drug. Any drug already approved for some other use can be used to treat COVID-19, whether it has been shown to be effective or not. So "allow" is the wrong word here. The FDA can only discourage the use of a drug that its experts judge does not work. What would you want the FDA to do? Keep quiet and publish no negative opinion, even when their data shows the drug does not work?
