    Ya right. This guy is part of the problem. Nothing to read here except for a vaccine guy staking out science as his turf

    Quote from Navid

    Ya right. This guy is part of the problem.

    This guy, along with nearly every actual scientist, thinks that people like you are the problem. You and the rest of the Cult of Death want to believe that you are smarter than the scientists. Your ego, and your desire to show the rest of us how smart you are, leads you to deny science. Your cult has has killed hundreds of thousands of people unnecessarily. But you don't care; your vanity means more to you than the lives of all those people.

    I know only on Cult of death = "free masons". The enemy of live and free people - the true killers behind CoV-19...that block the use of Ivermectin.

    South Carolina teen dies from COVID-19-related condition, MIS-C, that affects teens, children, DHEC says

    The 17-year-old in the Upstate region died from MIS-C on Jan. 27.

    GREENVILLE, S.C. —

    An Upstate teenager died this week from Multi-system Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C), a condition associated with COVID-19, according to the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC).


    This is the first death in the state related to MIS-C reported to DHEC.

    The 17-year-old in the Upstate region died from MIS-C on Jan. 27, DHEC said.


    To protect the privacy of the child and the family, no other information will be disclosed.


    “It’s heartbreaking to have to report the death of such a young person. Our condolences go out to the family and to the many families that have suffered loss related to COVID-19,” said Dr. Linda Bell, State Epidemiologist.


    At least 42 cases of MIS-C have been reported among children in South Carolina. MIS-C is a rare health condition that occurs in some children and teenagers who have contracted COVID-19 or been in contact with someone infected with the virus.


    “With the number of cases of COVID-19 we’re seeing in our state, we must be prepared for the unfortunate possibility of more children being affected by MIS-C,” said Dr. Brannon Traxler, DHEC Interim Public Health Director. “We continue to remind South Carolinians that COVID-19 is spreading in our communities at a high rate and it is vital that we all take the steps we know to protect us all from this deadly disease: wear a mask, stay 6 feet away from others, wash your hands frequently, and avoid crowds. And when your time comes, get vaccinated.”

    this is another example of covid 19 becoming autoimmune, not only does it activate dormant bacteria but dormant viral infection.


    When a bout of shingles could be a sign that you've had silent Covid


    https://www.irishnews.com/life…had-silent-covid-2155910/


    ARE WE living through a quiet epidemic of shingles triggered by Covid-19? Doctors have been reporting a higher than expected number of cases of the painful condition in which angry blisters form on one side of the body.


    In some patients, shingles develops after they have had Covid-19. But it is also affecting people who don't think they've caught coronavirus – so could it be a sign that they've in fact had "silent' Covid?


    Shingles is caused by the varicella zoster virus, the same virus that causes chickenpox. After you've had chickenpox, the virus hides in nerve endings, reactivating as shingles later, when the immune system is weakened by age or illness.


    A quarter of adults will get shingles in their lifetime (all of whom will previously have had chickenpox) and the risk increases with age.


    While shingles is usually mild, with pain around the blisters and sickness that can last several weeks, some suffer severe pain for years after their rash has healed, according to the Vaccine Knowledge Project at Oxford University, and around 50 people die from shingles each year in the UK.


    The shingles vaccine, offered to people when they turn 70, aims to cut the risk of the condition and reduce the severity of the illness if it does develop.


    But has shingles become more common during the coronavirus pandemic? It's a question some clinicians are asking, with evidence that other skin complaints such as urticaria, characterised by hives – red, itchy welts on the skin – may be also linked to Covid-19.

    Are the new COVID-19 variants creating MIS-C in children?

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention isn’t sure if the new COVID-19 variants are causing rare complications in children


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


    MIS-C has been seen in children who have contracted the coronavirus, showing up about three weeks after being diagnosed with COVID-19, according to CNN.

    In some cases, MIS-C pops up in patients who had no COVID-19 symptoms, though.

    Symptoms for MIS-C include fevers for at least 24 hours, gastrointestinal symptoms like vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea, red eyes and fatigue, according to ABC News.


    Idaho health officials added seven more Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children cases to state numbers.

    Under Federal Law, Can Your Employer Make You Get the COVID Vaccine?

    Answer:

    New York State Assemblywoman Linda Rosenthal recently proposed a bill to mandate COVID-19 vaccines, but she apparently neglected to consult federal law on emergency use authorization.

    “Emergency Use Authorization” means that any product with this designation must be voluntary. Under 21 U.S.C. § 360bbb-3, “Authorization for medical products for use in emergencies”:

    Deaths from outside US are highly under reported. E.g. Swiss pharma mafia simply said: This cannot be the case... Liek the > dozen Israeli age >60 that got corona and a hospital visit after a Pfizer Jab... (Would not happen with J&J)


    To be honest. 500++ destroyed lives due to vaccination could in the end be a tiny piece of a very, very large cake. Lets discuss the figure in 5,10 years at least among them, that did buy their pesonal Ivermectin....

    New clinical trials raise fears the coronavirus is learning how to resist vaccines


    https://www.latimes.com/scienc…-shows-pitfalls?_amp=true


    New data showing that two COVID-19 vaccines are far less effective in South Africa than in other places they were tested have heightened fears that the coronavirus is quickly finding ways to elude the world’s most powerful tools to contain it.


    The U.S. company Novavax reported this week that although its vaccine was nearly 90% effective in clinical trials conducted in Britain, the figure fell to 49% in South Africa — and that nearly all the infections the company analyzed in South Africa involved the B.1.351 variant that emerged there late last year and has spread to the United States and at least 30 other countries.


    Johnson & Johnson announced Friday that its new shot was 72% effective against preventing moderate or severe illness in the United States, compared with 66% in Latin America and 57% in South Africa.

    Mutant COVID variants are likely running rampant and unchecked across the US due to poor standard of genetic identification, experts say, as hospitalizations remain above 101K and 3,503 die over 24 hours


    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/ne…health-officials-say.html


    But detecting new variants through these means have been challenging in the US, where only a fraction of positive coronavirus tests are sent for further sequencing, according to The Washington Post.


    Health officials say the emerging strains have now put medical experts and scientists in 'a race against time' to identify new potentially deadlier forms of COVID-19.


    'Genomic surveillance is probably the number-one thing, besides covid-19 testing itself, that we can do to track the virus,' RNA biochemist Keith Gagnon of Southern Illinois University, told the Post. 'Without it, we are flying blind.'


    While health experts and scientists have supported efforts to conduct widespread sequencing, the shortage appears to be due to a lack of funding, according to the report.


    The issue mirrors the roadblocks faced in the early days of the pandemic when coronavirus was spreading across the country unchecked due to a lack of testing.


    The new variants have raised fears that they could potentially derail vaccination efforts in the country and wipe out months of progress.


    'Not every mutation is created equal,' said Mary Petrone, who studies infectious diseases at Yale University. 'The virus is going to get lucky now and again.'

    L.A. And CA Flying Blind On New Covid-19 Mutants; Fauci Calls Virus Variants “A Wake-Up Call”


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


    The projection is that at the very end of March, early April,” said Dr. Anthony Fauci, the more contagious UK variant of Covid-19 “will become more dominant than the wild type.


    “The fact is that when you have a virus that has ability to transmit more efficiently than the wild type in the community, sooner or later by pure viral dynamics itself it will become more dominant than the wild type,” the nation’s top infectious disease expert said in a briefing with other health officials on Friday.


    “This is a wake-up call to all of us,” warned Fauci.

    Pfizer CEO vows to speed up vaccine development to under 100 days to combat the 'high likelihood' that current COVID-19 shots will become ineffective


    https://www.businessinsider.co…t-be-effective-2021-1?amp


    Speaking at the virtual 2021 Davos World Economic Forum, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said he believed there was a "high possibility" that vaccines would not be effective in the future, though that hasn't happened yet.


    "It's a very high likelihood that one day that will happen," Bourla said.


    Bourla said Pfizer was working toward speeding up vaccine research and development in the event that happened. He wants to cut the time from recognizing a pandemic-scale infectious-disease threat to getting a vaccine authorized to 100 days or fewer — a timeline even shorter than the 300-day goal put forth last year by the Trump administration's Operation Warp Speed. The company intends to maintain its vaccine candidate's 95% efficacy, he said, in the face of evolving variants.

    Quote from Fm1

    The projection is that at the very end of March, early April,” said Dr. Anthony Fauci, the more contagious UK variant of Covid-19 “will become more dominant than the wild type.

    This "wild type" is euphemise language. Let's name the original CoV-19 in future the Fauci-Chinese strain to honor the two most important contributions.


    Initially there was a fake claim made by the vaccine production companies, that it is highly unlikely that the spike proteins will change. At least these claimed such changes would happen magnitudes slower - in a way what would allow them to sell new vaccines every year....

    So what do we gain with widespread vaccination?

    Pfizer vaccine: Already at best 70% for UK version. 0% (15%) for RSA/Brazil version

    Moderna: 80-90 still for UK. 50% for RSA/BRA at best

    J&J single shot better than the two above For RSA/BRA.


    But respiratory virus are the fastest spreading on the world because they face virtually no barrier after replication in external Mucosa. Thus no vaccine ever will stop them. The only chance would be the coding of an RNA interference target pattern we could implant in all mucosa cells. This is future music, but definitively what evolution does itself. E.g. 2% of the world population are immune against AIDS.


    Who explains the American people, that their two shots, that already killed about 300 people in the USA, are for nothing in the face of the BRA virus? Will Biden do this??????? Would be a big surprise. The big cheating will go on. But "game stop" is cheating back!

    The true problem is, mrna vaccines were designed to treat a specific area in tumors. Not to prevent infections, taking it that next step as Moderna and Pfizer have done only gives population fàlse hope of not being infected. Another concern with the variants is this may not be just antigenic drift but antigenic shift. Research is finding more and more animals are infected and sooner or later one or more will have the ability to jump to humans. Whole new ballgame gents!

    Coronavirus Model Predicts New Variants Will Increase U.S. Death Toll


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


    The University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation updated its forecast to include the variants first found in the U.K. and South Africa for the first time. Both have been detected in the U.S.


    It increased its previous death toll estimate by about 25,000 to more than 594,000 by May 1. If the projection plays out, it would mean over 160,000 more Americans will die from the virus in the next roughly three months.

    Nobody seems to be mentioning the mutation that is causing problems in Brazil. Is there any recent information on that?

    What We Know About the New P.1 Strain of the Coronavirus


    https://nymag.com/intelligence…t-of-the-coronavirus.html


    What makes scientists worry about a new coronavirus strain?

    Since viruses are constantly evolving, new genetic variants with various mutations appear all the time. The ones infectious-disease experts end up worrying about are those that have developed mutations that make them more dominant and/or dangerous by becoming more transmissible (easier to spread/catch), more virulent (causing a more severe illness), or better able to avoid antibodies generated by previous infection, vaccines, or treatments.


    Since June, the dominant variant of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, throughout the world has been D614G, which was somehow able to beat out its genetic predecessors. Recently, more evolved variants have begun to take over in parts of the world, most notably the B.1.1.7 strain, which emerged in the U.K. and is believed to be much more infectious than D614G — to the point that the CDC has warned it will be the dominant variant in the U.S. by March.


    What makes the P.1 variant so worrisome?

    The P.1 variant (also known as B.1.1.248) concerns scientists for a few reasons, starting with how it has two notable mutations that may make it more dangerous.


    First, it has a spike protein mutation that may make the variant more infectious. This mutation, known as N501Y (or “Nelly”), is also present in the B.1.1.7 variant, which is fast overtaking the U.K., as well as the B.1.351 (also known as 501.V2, or N501Y.V2) variant that has emerged in South Africa. The mutation enables the virus’s spike proteins to more easily bind with human cells, which may make it more infectious. Research has suggested that the B.1.1.7 variant may be more than 50 percent more transmissible than previously dominant strains — which is why scientists and public-health officials are so worried about it.


    The P.1 variant also has an “escape mutation” known as E484K, which also exists in the B.1.351 variant from South Africa and which in lab experiments has been found to help the coronavirus evade protective antibodies generated by earlier infections, as well as less susceptible to antibody drugs. In other words, it’s possible that someone who has already been infected with an earlier strain of the coronavirus could be reinfected by a variant with this mutation and that the mutation may enable the coronavirus to evade antibodies generated by COVID vaccines.


    To be clear, this does not mean that the currently available coronavirus vaccines will not work against variants with the E485K mutation. Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech, the makers of the two vaccines currently authorized for use in the U.S. have found that in lab tests, their mRNA vaccines were only slightly less effective against the B.1.135 variant from South Africa, and the companies are already working to update the vaccines to address the issue. Elsewhere, many coronavirus experts expect that the vaccines will offer comparable protection against these new strains with the E484K mutation. More research is needed, but for now it seems like the worst-case real-world scenario would be that the vaccines would still prevent serious illness from the variants but might be less effective at preventing a mild or asymptomatic infection from them.


    And again, the vaccines can and will be updated to account for this and other mutations over time.


    P.1 and the B.1.351 variant also share another mutation, K417, but less is understood about how that benefits the virus.


    When variants of concern evolve with the same advantageous mutation(s) in separate geographically distinct locations at the same time, it suggests those mutations are significant evolutionary leaps for the virus. But it also remains unclear whether or not these mutations and their effects are tied to other mutations in the variants in ways scientists don’t yet understand.


    Now the question..... Is it antigenic drift or a full shift?
