Covid-19 News

  • We’re vaccinating more 12- to 15-year-olds than any other state. So the demand is there. Last week, it was at about 4% for the country, we were at around 9% of that age group,” Lakin said. Utah, which has the nation’s youngest population, has now fully vaccinated 45.3% of residents 12 and older.


    Only dumb or criminal parents inject experimental drugs (RNA vaccines) into their children's body. Just get some Ivermectin if you need an insurance!

    A vaccine will not protect your child in the near future and the risks from booster shot will multiply. Getting CoV-19 will protect you for 10-20 years.

    Let's talk about the coward states of USA and the believe of people into criminal fake experts like Fauci.

  • Only dumb or criminal parents inject experimental drugs (RNA vaccines) into their children's body. Just get some Ivermectin if you need an insurance!

    One of my kids is almost 19 and has recently moved out to live downtown with some friends and to be closer to college. On his weekend visit back at our home he suddenly left to get vaccinated at a nearby pharmacy, but the pharmacy had run out. His friends are reporting that in their job searches their prospective employers are asking if they've been vaccinated. So young people are feeling the pressure to get jabbed and be free of the hassle.


    I've told my kids that their chance of a very bad reaction to the vaccine is low, but I've also told them that they are essentially test subjects : no one knows for sure what longterm effects the vaccine could have. I've also told them that for people their age, getting the vaccine is likely to produce worse effects than getting exposed to the virus itself. In a way I was pleased that my kid in question, after knowing my preference, still felt the liberty to do his own thing and get the vaccine. Will report in the future what happens when he does.


    Meanwhile to me it feels like I'm a spectator watching a massive societal experiment play out upon a propagandized public, as the abnormal becomes normalized. Heaven help us.

    As said. The fascists did take over most western countries. It works along the same plan they used 1932. They now own all media. See what happens in east Europe and you understand. At least in the USA you can buy a weapon to avoid the worst.

  • What is happening eastern Europe? (

    The eastern countries (RUS,CHN,TUR,KAS,....) are fascist since a long time. The general definition of fascism is any state rule that is 1st order based on material gain/protection and peoples right are second order. Material=Money=Power=Information.

    Historically the term comes from the roman military and had no social meaning.


    So FM/R/J are per definition included despite people believe they do good things. But in reality 1 day/year the play a theater role in helping some people.

    The only balance in the USA is the law to own a weapon.

  • Climate and the spread of COVID-19


    https://www.sciencedaily.com/r…/2021/05/210520174200.htm


    Abstract

    Visual inspection of world maps shows that coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is less prevalent in countries closer to the equator, where heat and humidity tend to be higher. Scientists disagree how to interpret this observation because the relationship between COVID-19 and climatic conditions may be confounded by many factors. We regress the logarithm of confirmed COVID-19 cases per million inhabitants in a country against the country’s distance from the equator, controlling for key confounding factors: air travel, vehicle concentration, urbanization, COVID-19 testing intensity, cell phone usage, income, old-age dependency ratio, and health expenditure. A one-degree increase in absolute latitude is associated with a 4.3% increase in cases per million inhabitants as of January 9, 2021 (p value < 0.001). Our results imply that a country, which is located 1000 km closer to the equator, could expect 33% fewer cases per million inhabitants. Since the change in Earth’s angle towards the sun between equinox and solstice is about 23.5°, one could expect a difference in cases per million inhabitants of 64% between two hypothetical countries whose climates differ to a similar extent as two adjacent seasons. According to our results, countries are expected to see a decline in new COVID-19 cases during summer and a resurgence during winter. However, our results do not imply that the disease will vanish during summer or will not affect countries close to the equator. Rather, the higher temperatures and more intense UV radiation in summer are likely to support public health measures to contain SARS-CoV-2.


    Discussion

    Our results are consistent with the hypothesis that heat and sunlight reduce the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and the prevalence of COVID-19, which was also suggested by most of the previous studies examining the same hypothesis with different data and approaches8,9,10,27,28. However, our results do not imply that the disease will vanish during summer. Rather, the higher temperatures and more intense UV radiation in summer are likely to support public health measures to contain SARS-CoV-229,30. WHO’s warning that the virus spreads in all climates must still be taken seriously. At the time of revising this manuscript in January 2021, many countries in the Northern Hemisphere are experiencing a surge in COVID-19 cases, which could be explained by an easier spread of COVID-19 in winter.


    Our analysis has several limitations. First, while our results are consistent with the hypothesis that higher temperatures and more intense UV radiation reduce SARS-CoV-2 transmission, the precise mechanisms for such an effect remain unclear and may indeed comprise not only biological but also behavioral factors. For example, people might gather less in crowded indoor places if temperatures are higher – a behavior reducing transmission. Thus, future research should aim at uncovering how the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is affected by changes in (1) climatic factors such as heat and humidity, (2) geographic factors such as altitude and sunlight intensity, (3) factors related to human behavior such as social interactions and pollution due to local economic activity at a more disaggregated level, and (4) the different potential of the human immune system to cope with diseases in summer as opposed to winter. Second, even though we included all countries worldwide for which data for this analysis were available, our final data set included only 117 out of the world’s countries, mainly for reasons of data availability and for some countries not yet having surpassed the 100 COVID-19 case threshold. Third, while we strived to control for differential testing intensity using a recently compiled and frequently updated data set19,20, the data on testing intensity could suffer from reporting biases and incomplete coverage of testing approaches. To the extent that testing intensity is a function of a country’s income, our analysis controlling for income (Table 1, Model 4) should reduce such a bias. The fact that column (4) in Table 1 contains a parameter estimate of latitude that is only slightly lower than the one in column (3) and still highly significant is reassuring in this regard. Furthermore, factors such as health infrastructure, socioeconomic background, and the availability of adequate health supplies may also affect the spread of COVID-19. However, these differences can be at least partially captured by controlling – as we have done – for vehicle concentration, urbanization, cell phone usage, income, the old-age dependency ratio, health expenditure, and testing intensity. Fourth, we cannot, as of yet, assess whether mutated versions of SARS-CoV-2, such as the ones that emerged in South Africa or in the UK in fall 2020, will display similar seasonal patterns of infection. Finally, the distance to the equator has the same climatic effects going north and south only when we are either around equinox or when one full year in the pandemic has passed (such that the seasonal variations average out globally because both hemispheres have passed through all four seasons during the pandemic). Thus, the date of our data set (which we updated during the final revision of this manuscript in January 2021) is comparatively well-suited for our analysis, because at this point in time the COVID-19 pandemic had been spreading for approximately 1 year31,32. Moreover, the effect sizes we estimate stayed rather stable over time. In earlier analyses of the data in March and April 202033, which is close to equinox, we also found a significant positive association between latitude and the number of cases. Since then, the semi-elasticity estimates increased slightly, which could be due to better data quality and larger numbers of observations in our updated data sets.


    In sum, we show that an increase in absolute latitude by 1° is associated with a 4.3% increase in COVID-19 cases per million inhabitants. Increasing temperatures and longer sunlight exposure during summer may boost the impact of public health policies and actions to control the spread of SARS-CoV-2. Conversely, the threat of epidemic resurgence may increase during winter. However, our results do not indicate that the disease will vanish in summer, nor that countries located close to the equator will contain the disease without effective public health measures.

  • On the Environmental Determinants of COVID-19 Seasonality


    https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.…/abs/10.1029/2021GH000413


    Abstract

    Viral respiratory diseases (VRDs), such as influenza and COVID-19, are thought to spread faster over winter than during summer. It has been previously argued that cold and dry conditions were more conducive to the transmission of VRD than warm and humid climates, although this relationship appears restricted to temperate regions, and the causal relationship is not well understood. The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causing COVID-19 has emerged as a serious global public health problem after the first COVID-19 reports in Wuhan, China, in late 2019. It is still unclear whether this novel respiratory disease will ultimately prove to be a seasonal endemic disease. Here, we suggest that Air Drying Capacity (ADC; an atmospheric state-variable known to control the fate/evolution of the virus-laden droplets) and ultraviolet radiation (UV) are probable environmental determinants in shaping the transmission of COVID-19 at the seasonal time scale. These variables, unlike temperature and humidity, provide a physically-based framework consistent with the apparent seasonal variability in COVID-19 prevalence across a broad range of climates (e.g., Germany and India). Since this disease is known to be influenced by the compounding effect of social, biological, and environmental determinants, this study does not claim that these environmental determinants exclusively shape the seasonality of COVID-19. However, we argue that ADC and UV play a significant role in COVID-19 dynamics at the seasonal scale. These findings could help guide the development of a sound adaptation strategy against the pandemic over the coming seasons.


    Plain Language Summary

    There is growing scientific interest in the potential seasonality of COVID-19 and its links to climate variables. This study aims to determine whether four environmental variables, namely temperature, humidity, Air Drying Capacity (ADC), and ultraviolet radiation (UV), are probable environmental determinants for the observed seasonal dynamics of COVID-19 prevalence, based on extensive country-level data spanning the first year of the pandemic. Although the influence of socio-economic factors may be dominant, we here suggest that ADC and UV are key environmental determinants of COVID-19 and can potentially affect the transmission and seasonality of the disease across a wide range of climates.

    Top U.S. health official calls for follow-up investigation into pandemic’s origins


    The theory that the virus came from a Wuhan lab has gained traction amid criticism of an international probe and reports that several researchers were ill in November 2019 — weeks before the virus was officially identified


    The United States’ top health official called Tuesday for a swift follow-up investigation into the coronavirus’s origins amid renewed questions about whether the virus jumped from an animal host into humans in a naturally occurring event or escaped from a lab in Wuhan, China.


    Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra told an annual ministerial meeting of the World Health Organization that international experts should be given “the independence to fully assess the source of the virus and the early days of the outbreak.” . . .


    At a White House briefing Tuesday, Anthony S. Fauci, the government’s leading infectious-disease expert, said he believes it’s most likely the virus originated from a “natural occurrence.” But he said a deeper probe is warranted.


    “Because we don’t know 100 percent what the origin is, it’s imperative that we look and we do an investigation,” Fauci said.


    At that same briefing, Andy Slavitt, the White House senior adviser on the coronavirus response, expressed frustration at barriers imposed on international scientists by the Chinese government.

    “It is our position that we need to get to the bottom of this, and we need a completely transparent process from China. We need the WHO to assist in that matter. We don’t feel like we have that now,” Slavitt said. “That’s a critical priority for us.”


    The United Nations agency had released a joint report with Chinese scientists in March after a WHO-led mission spent four weeks in Wuhan. But the United States and other nations raised concerns about the limits placed on that mission and called on China to be more transparent. The United States and other nations voiced concern that “the international expert study on the source of the SARS-CoV-2 virus was significantly delayed and lacked access to complete, original data and samples.” . . .


    . . . The Biden administration has not retracted a statement by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, released during the Trump administration, that said the intelligence community “concurs with the wide scientific consensus that the covid-19 virus was not man-made or genetically modified.” The statement noted intelligence agencies would continue to try “to determine whether the outbreak began through contact with infected animals, or if it was the result of an accident at a laboratory in Wuhan.” . . .

  • The statement noted intelligence agencies would continue to try “to determine whether the outbreak began through contact with infected animals, or if it was the result of an accident at a laboratory in Wuhan.

    Such investigations open the Box of Pandora. Did Fauci/China following military orders in parallel with published studies? What happened to the flu virus that has been modified the same way? Did USA/China clandestine develop a vaccine for these Bio weapons?


    Just to remind you that Chinese researchers also did work in the USA on the same project but where?? In January (2020) such a Chinese researcher has been arrested by the US border police for smuggling virus material from USA to China.

    This is a collapse of US intelligence services as no press release should have happened about this. May be Trump ordered this.


    Nobody with a slight understanding of genetics gen-technology and relative gen analysis will ever believe in a natural origin for SARS CoV-19. So the fight will go on about shall we hide and make us looking like idiots or shall we force the truth and finally deal with the frictions that also will fall back on USA (Thanks to Fauci - Dr. Mengele!) ?

  • Normally you have to multiply the certified infections by a factor of 4 to get the real number. Several studies here (Germany,CH) indicated this. But there are other places (parts of India) where the factor is 10 or larger.


    Warning: News papers actually attack the brains of parents by comparing CoV-19 with measles. CoV-19 does not kill your child but measles might do it...

    Further stay away from the Pfizer vaccine . 30% of what you get with the shot is unknown dirt RNA. They inject your child unknown/untested RNA of unknown concentration. It is 100% sure that there will be some very unlucky and much more damage than from real measles ....

    It seems that AZ vaccine is not so different regarding „crap“ or „dirt“ ingredients as well....

  • It seems that AZ vaccine is not so different regarding „crap“ or „dirt“ ingredients as well....

    Looks like a serious quality problem. But unlike in the RNA vaccine this dirt will not go into the host cell and cause epi-gentic changes.

    The analysis (Version 0.1) also has some shortcomings as they should ask Astra Zeneca for the quality reviewing certificate to find out which steps could be contaminated.

    It could be that the inactivating phase of the adeno virus has been done improperly. Further we don't have the origin/age (India,UK) of the samples.

    Anyway as India now shows Ivermectin works perfectly and only people age >65 and some with severe preconditions need a vaccine. Any use among others - in my view - is a criminal act.

    Normally it takes 10-20 years until a vaccine goes into mass application. This long period is needed to find/eliminate all adverse issues. Now the FM/R/J Mafia has highjacked the media and sell dirt for big money without any use & need.

  • Gov. DeWine described the vaccine lottery he implemented in Ohio:

    Don’t Roll Your Eyes at Ohio’s Vaccine Lottery




    This is a stroke of genius! It costs $5.6 million, and it has roughly the same impact as a $23 million public service advertising campaign.


    Here is the comment I added to the Times discussion:


    If this would have taken $23 million in public service advertising, then it is wonderful idea!


    Whatever works best is what you should do. Whatever saves the most lives. Whatever is most cost-effective.


    This is no time to fret about morality. The important thing is to save lives. We should not say "people should get vaccinated without a reward." Maybe they should, but they were not getting vaccinated, and now they are. Great! Thank you Gov. DeWine!

    The quotes from the Death Cult should make any sane, educated person feel like throwing up. Multiply this by tens of thousands and you begin to see how much death and misery these people have caused. They would kill another 600,000 people, or 6 million, if that is what it takes to keep people afraid and in the thrall of their filthy lies.


    Some of these people spreading lies in Europe are being paid by Russian and Chinese disinformation agencies. It sounds like a cold war spy novel, but it is true. See:

    Influencers Say They Were Urged to Criticize Pfizer Vaccine


    A disinformation effort to reduce public confidence in Covid-19 vaccines tried to enroll social media commentators in France and Germany.


    PARIS — The mysterious London public relations agency sent its pitch simultaneously to social media influencers in France and Germany: Claim that Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine is deadly and that regulators and the mainstream media are covering it up, the message read, and earn thousands of euros in easy money in exchange.


    The claim is false. The purported agency, Fazze, has a website and describes itself as an “influencer marketing platform” connecting bloggers and advertisers. But when some of the influencers tried to find out who was running Fazze, the ephemeral trail appeared to lead to Russia. . . .


    . . . In April, a European Union report said Russian and Chinese media were systematically seeking to sow mistrust in Western Covid-19 vaccines in disinformation campaigns aimed at the West.

  • It's official. Biden has ordered a new investigation into the origin of the virus. I do not know what to make of this situation, but this seems like a sensible thing to do. It will upset the Chinese government. Too bad for them. As I have said, the Chinese medical establishment has been cooperative, but the government has been awful. The medical establishment provided the genome quickly. It turns out, that was against government policy, and the people who published the genome were punished. Imagine trying to keep a fact of nature secret. A fact that will be revealed soon after the first cases reach other countries. That is typical of a totalitarian government. COVID-19 has been sequenced more than 1.4 million times (I think it was). Did they really think they could keep it secret?

    A renewed debate is taking shape over the possibility that the coronavirus accidentally leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China.


    WASHINGTON — President Biden ordered U.S. intelligence agencies on Wednesday to investigate the origins of the coronavirus, indicating that his administration takes seriously the possibility that the deadly virus was accidentally leaked from a lab, in addition to the prevailing theory that it was transmitted by an animal to humans outside a lab.


    In a statement, Mr. Biden made it clear that the C.I.A. and other intelligence agencies had not yet reached a consensus on how the virus, which prompted a pandemic and has killed almost 600,000 Americans, originated in China. But he directed them to conduct a deeper investigation and report back to him in 90 days. . . .

  • FDA grants emergency use authorization to COVID-19 antibody drug


    https://thehill.com/policy/hea…ovid-19-antibody-drug?amp


    The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted an emergency use authorization for a COVID-19 antibody drug made by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK).


    Sotrovimab, an investigational monoclonal antibody therapy, has been authorized for treating mild to moderate COVID-19 in adults and pediatric patients aged 12 years and older who are at high risk for progressing to severe COVID-19, the FDA said in a statement.


    The drug is not for patients who are hospitalized due to COVID-19 or those who require oxygen therapy.


    GSK developed the drug with Vir Biotechnology.

    The companies said in a separate statement that the treatment will be available for appropriate patients in the U.S. "in the coming weeks." The companies further said they plan to file for full approval of the treatment "in the second half of 2021."


    GSK and Vir said the drug was shown to reduce the risk of hospitalization or death in high-risk adults by 85 percent in a trial of 868 patients.


    The most common adverse events in the treatment group were rash and diarrhea, which were mild or moderate.

    The company also said that data from lab studies shows that sotrovimab "maintains activity against all known circulating variants of concern," though the clinical impact of the data is not yet known.


    Monoclonal antibodies are lab-made proteins that mimic the immune system's ability to fight off viruses.


    Former President Trump praised an investigational monoclonal antibody made by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals that he was treated with when he contracted COVID-19 late last year. The FDA authorized that treatment in late November.

  • Research ties cold viruses used to deliver Covid vaccine to rare blood clot risk

    German researchers, in a study not yet reviewed by experts, said Covid-19 vaccines that employ adenovirus vectors - cold viruses used to deliver vaccine material - send some of their payload into the nucleus of cells, where some of the instructions for making coronavirus proteins can be misread.


    https://www.hindustantimes.com…-101622075621131-amp.html


    German researchers on Wednesday said that based on laboratory research, they believed they have found the cause of the rare but serious blood clotting events among some people who received Covid-19 vaccines made by AstraZeneca Plc and Johnson & Johnson.

    The researchers, in a study not yet reviewed by experts, said Covid-19 vaccines that employ adenovirus vectors - cold viruses used to deliver vaccine material - send some of their payload into the nucleus of cells, where some of the instructions for making coronavirus proteins can be misread. The resulting proteins could potentially trigger blood clot disorders in a small number of recipients, they suggest.

    Scientists and U.S. and European drug regulators have been searching for an explanation for what is causing the rare but potentially deadly clots accompanied by low blood platelet counts, which have led some countries to halt or limit use of the AstraZeneca and J&J vaccines. Other scientists have suggested competing theories for the clotting condition.

    Johnson & Johnson, in an emailed statement said: "We are supporting continued research and analysis of this rare event as we work with medical experts and global health authorities. We look forward to reviewing and sharing data as it becomes available." AstraZeneca declined to comment.


    Researchers at the Goethe-University of Frankfurt and other sites explained in their paper that vaccines using a different technology known as messenger RNA (mRNA), such as those developed by BioNTech SE with partner Pfizer Inc and Moderna Inc, deliver the genetic material of the coronavirus spike protein only to fluid found inside cells, not to the nucleus of the cells. “All mRNA-based vaccines should represent safe products,” the paper said.


    The paper suggests that vaccine makers using adenovirus vectors could modify the sequence of the spike protein “to avoid unintended splice reactions and to increase the safety of these pharmaceutical products.”

  • Scientists Just Cured the Coronavirus With Inhalable Nanobodies


    https://amp.interestingenginee…with-inhalable-nanobodies


    Imagine an alternate universe where, instead of traveling across the city or driving anxiously for miles to a vaccination center, you simply pick up a gadget with inhalable nanobodies in a vapor-like form that can cure early-stage illnesses, and even prevented them from coming back. Imagine we're talking about the coronavirus, and the vapor is a cloud of nanobody-based material. Turns out, this isn't cyberpunk exposition.


    A new inhalable nanobody-based treatment could prevent and treat the COVID-19 coronavirus via ultra-low doses, according to a new study involving hamsters and published in the journal Science Advances.


    While this is still in a very early, preclinical phase, this could fundamentally change the way we prevent radical viruses on a societal level.


    The nanobody-based substance works regardless of its entry point into a respiratory system

    The inhalable nanobody-based treatment could prevent and treat COVID-19 coronavirus infections via ultra-low doses, in a new study with Syrian hamsters. The new therapy is called the Pittsburgh inhalable Nanobody 21 (PiN-21), and might offer an affordable and needle-free alternative to the monoclonal antibodies conventionally used to treat early infections. Sham Nambulli and their colleagues developed a new method called PiN-21, which makes use of single-domain antibody fragments, which are far less costly to produce than monoclonal antibodies. And this recent study represents the first successful report of PiN-21's efficacy in living organisms.

    The nanobody-based treatment may also be aerosolized

    In another experiment, the scientists placed infected hamsters inside a chamber, which contained a 0.2 milligram per kilogram dose of PiN-21 nanobodies in aerosolized form (via nebulizer), creating a whole-body exposure to the substance. The researchers found that viral lung in the hamsters' lung tissue was severely diminished after the chamber exposure, by six orders of magnitude. "We envision that PiN-21 aerosolization treatment could provide both a convenient and cost-effective solution to alleviate disease onset and reduce virus transmission, especially for mild COVID-19 patients who constitute major populations of infections," wrote the authors, according to an embargoed release shared with IE. The researchers also emphasized that additional preclinical trials, like safety tests on non-human primates, are crucial before the PiN-21 nanobody-based substance can advance to human trials.

    This is an incredible development that could lead to a massive scale-up in health experts' ability to rapidly innoculate populations from not only the initial coronavirus, but potentially several variants, possibly stopping radical mutations of the COVID-19 coronavirus before they can spread beyond a small community like a fast-action precaution to new pandemic threats. It's far too early to say any of this will happen for certain, but the benefits everyone stands to make from such a simple, and easily-disbursed weapon against the virus is too great to ignore.
