Scientists Trace Earliest Cases of COVID-19 to Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market in Wuhan, China

"An international team of scientists has determined that the earliest cases of COVID-19 in humans arose at a wholesale fish market in Wuhan China in December 2019. They linked these cases to bats, foxes, and other live mammals infected with the virus sold in the market either for consumption as meat or for their fur. The team of 18 researchers included a scientist at the University of Utah Health.

The finding confirms early reports, later dismissed by senior Chinese officials, that live animals sold at the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market were the likely source of the pandemic that has claimed at least 6.4 million lives since it first emerged in China nearly three years ago. The study was published in the July 26, 2022, issue of Science."

"Among the study’s key findings:

• The emergence of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, can likely be traced to one or more of the 10 to 15 stalls in the market that sold live dogs, rats, badgers, porcupines, foxes, hares, marmots, hedgehogs, and Chinese Muntjac (a small deer). Health officials and researchers detected the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus on animal cages, carts, and drainage grates in these venues.
• Neighborhoods within a half-mile of the market were the only areas where the virus was spreading in December 2019. Some researchers had previously suggested that the virus was brought into the market from elsewhere in the city and spread among its patrons. Instead, the new findings strongly suggest that the virus originated in the market via live animal sales, and slowly spread from there into nearby neighborhoods and then the city at large.
• Two variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus were detected at the market. That suggests both variants originated independently at the market and helps confirm the researchers’ hypothesis that the early spread of the infection began there. If the virus originated elsewhere, it’s more likely that only a single variant would have been found."

Believe that and I have a bridge to sell you. The investigation doesn't cover how a strain very similar was found in Barcelona in the spring of 2018 and northern Italy in August of 2019. American and Canadian military were infected with an upper respiratory illness after attending military games in china in October of 2019. The study makes sense when you ignore much earlier transmission. I call it subterfuge. More likely it was a live attenuated military vaccine trial in mid 2017 gone bad, but I'm just thinking........

The Covid Climate in Silicon Valley.

Nobody - from BA check-in at Heathrow, US Border Control, or at the Ramada by Wyndham hotel asked to see my proof of vaccination or test status. almost zero mask wearing anywhere en route, though many airport staff wore latex gloves.

Very few people apart from Google staff wore masks at the venue itself, though proof of a 'that morning' negative test was demanded every day as a condition of entry. Masks and test kits were freely available.

In fact, starting this summer, boosters make severe outcomes MORE likely. This is shown by using linear regression-based analysis, looking at death rates versus booster rates by country, for various periods of time, but for the same countries.

This was already clear for Israels first booster as it directly promoted > 300 deaths by immune suppression!

As I say since months. UK shows the signal since Omicron and here we have 3x more hospitalizations of vaccinated than unvaxx. If we correct for infected then the rate must be 10..20x !

Once more bullshit from the FM/R//B finance - pharma mafia.

The first case has been found in Italy/Spain around April 2019 proven by lung tissue biopsy. The first case in Wuhan was in August 2019.

Make sure to tell anyone infected that was vaccinated to NOT take Paxcrap. They will be down for 3 weeks instead of 5 days. Isn't it interesting that the two people pushing this crap the most, rebounded.

This is the reason behind Covid severity, long COVID and Paxcrap rebound

Abstract

Study objectives

Vitamin D blood levels of 60–80 ng/ml promote normal sleep. The present study was undertaken to explore why this beneficial effect waned after 2 years as arthritic pain increased. Pantothenic acid becomes coenzyme A, a cofactor necessary for cortisol and acetylcholine production. 1950s experiments suggested a connection between pantothenic acid deficiency, autoimmune arthritis and insomnia. The B vitamins have been shown to have an intestinal bacterial source and a food source, suggesting that the normal intestinal microbiome may have always been the primary source of B vitamins. Review of the scientific literature shows that pantothenic acid does not have a natural food source, it is supplied by the normal intestinal bacteria. In order to test the hypothesis that vitamin D replacement slowly induced a secondary pantothenic acid deficiency, B100 (100 mg of all B vitamins except 100 mcg of B12 and biotin and 400 mcg of folate) was added to vitamin D supplementation.

Methods

Vitamin D and B100 were recommended to over 1000 neurology patients. Sleep characteristics, pain levels, neurologic symptoms, and bowel complaints were recorded by the author at routine appointments.

Results

Three months of vitamin D plus B100 resulted in improved sleep, reduced pain and unexpected resolution of bowel symptoms. These results suggest that the combination of vitamin D plus B100 creates an intestinal environment that favors the return of the four specific species, Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes and Proteobacteria that make up the normal human microbiome.

Hypotheses

1) Seasonal fluctuations in vitamin D levels have normally produced changes in the intestinal microbiome that promoted weight gain in winter. Years of vitamin D deficiency, however, results in a permanently altered intestinal environment that no longer favors the “healthy foursome”. 2) Humans have always had a commensal relationship with their intestinal microbiome. We supplied them vitamin D, they supplied us B vitamins. 3) The four species that make up the normal microbiome are also commensal, each excretes at least one B vitamin that the other three need but cannot make. 4) Improved sleep and more cellular repairs eventually depletes body stores of pantothenic acid, causing reduced cortisol production, increased arthritic pain and widespread “pro-inflammatory” effects on the immune system. 5) Pantothenic acid deficiency also decreases available acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter used by the parasympathetic nervous system. Unopposed, increased sympathetic tone then produces hypertension, tachycardia, atrial arrhythmias and a “hyper-adrenergic” state known to predispose to heart disease and stroke.

Vitamin D deficiency changes the intestinal microbiome reducing B vitamin production in the gut. The resulting lack of pantothenic acid adversely affects the immune system, producing a “pro-inflammatory” state associated with atherosclerosis and autoimmunity

no placebo arm? Exactly how do you determine efficacy unless you expose all participants to the virus. They plan on putting this out by October, they have to be joking right?

Pfizer and BioNTech Launching Phase 2 Trial of “Enhanced” Next Gen COVID-19 Vaccine

Pfizer and BioNTech have initiated a phase 2 study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immune response of an enhanced COVID-19 mRNA-based vaccine. This next-generation bivalent COVID-19 vaccine candidate, BNT162b5, consists of RNAs encoding enhanced prefusion spike proteins for both the SARS-CoV-2 wild-type Wuhan strain and an Omicron variant.

The U.S-based randomized, active-controlled, observer-blind trial will enroll about 200 people between the ages of 18 and 55 who have received one booster shot of a U.S.-authorized COVID-19 vaccine at least 90 days before their first study visit. The participants will be stratified based on the number of months since their last COVID-19 shot before entering the trial. There is no placebo arm in the study.

This is the first of multiple vaccine candidates with an enhanced design which the companies plan to evaluate as part of a long-term COVID-19 vaccine strategy.

COVID-19 has been extremely profitable for Pfizer over the last year-and-a-half, and this year’s second-quarter report shows more of the same. The company’s revenue jumped by 47% to $27.7 billion compared to the same period in 2021.

The COVID-19 vaccine with partner BioNTech raked in $8.8 billion in revenue for the quarter alone and is projecting $32 billion for the year. And the company’s COVID-19 antiviral therapy, Paxlovid, is projected to bring in $22 billion this year, having brought in $8.1 billion for the quarter.

In late June the companies entered into a new vaccine supply deal with the U.S. government to supply 105 million doses (30 microgram, 10 microgram and 3 microgram) of their vaccines, potentially including the adult Omicron-adapted COVID-19 vaccines, such as the one being tested in this Phase 2 trial. The government will pay $3.2 billion upon receipt of the first 105 million doses. The government has an option to acquire up to 195 additional doses, bringing the total doses to 300 million

This shows the full depth of corruption inside the US FM/F/R state. There is no need for a cold vaccine that will potentially kill more people that it will help.

I think you have to look at the characteristics of B2.75 and BA5. Both show they can infect the lungs which most omicrom stains don't. A truely tested vaccine, first on animals, then humans with some time to determine safety is a great idea. That's not what Pfizer is providing. Nor did they from the beginning.

There is no indication of this as we have no increase in ventilation. May be some animal models show it...

In free countries - no masks no isolation - BA.5 is already gone what means steep decline.

Covid-19 vaccinations and all-cause mortality -a long-term differential analysis among municipalities

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/361818561_Covid-19_vaccinations_and_all-cause_mortality_-a_long-term_differential_analysis_among_municipalities

Abstract and Figures

We analyse the relation between covid-19 vaccinations and all-cause-mortality in N=340 Dutch municipalities (17.3M people, ~99% of population), during the entire pandemic period. We do not use covid-19-attributed mortality, mortality predictions and excess mortality, thereby bypassing the ambiguities of case-identification and mortality-modeling. Municipal demographics such as age, culture and population density are strong confounders of mortality and vaccine-uptake. We account for these by normalizing results to prepandemic year 2019, where covid was absent but demographics were highly representative for later years. Normalized to 2019, we found no correlation between municipal mortality in 2020 with vaccination uptake in 2021, which shows the effectiveness of our confounder accounting. We could not observe a mortality-reducing effect of vaccination in Dutch municipalities after vaccination and booster campaigns. We did find a 4-sigma-significant mortality-enhancing effect during the two periods of high unexplained excess mortality. Our results add to other recent findings of zero mRna-vaccine effectiveness on all-cause mortality, calling for more research on this topic.
