These two drugs were garbage to begin with, both rushed through with only one study, very sub-optimal garbage junk questionable research methods, terrible data, yet were given FDA’s corrupted EUAs. Remember, CDC recently put out a Health Alert Network Health Advisory to update us on the potential for COVID-19 rebound after Paxlovid treatments. Now we see the problem is with Molnupiravir too. When will we get the advisory?

Main statement/conclusion from the study (note, not yet peer-reviewed):

‘COVID-19 rebound occurred both after Paxlovid and Molnupiravir, especially in patients with underlying medical conditions. This indicates that COVID-19 rebound is not unique to Paxlovid and the risks were similar for Paxlovid and Molnupiravir. For both drugs the rates of COVID-19 rebound increased with time after treatments.’

SOURCE:

COVID-19 rebound after Paxlovid and Molnupiravir during January-June 2022

Researchers examined ‘the rates and relative risks of COVID-19 rebound in patients treated with Paxlovid or with Molnupiravir and to compare characteristics of patients who experienced COVID-19 rebound to those who did not.’

This was a retrospective cohort design looking at electronic health records (EHRs) of ‘92 million patients from a multicenter and nationwide database in the US. The study population comprised 13,644 patients age 18 years or older who contracted COVID-19 between 1/1/2022-6/8/2022 and were treated with Paxlovid (n =11,270) or with Molnupiravir (n =2,374) within 5 days of their COVID-19 infection. Exposures Paxlovid or Molnupiravir.’

‘Three types of COVID-19 rebound outcomes (COVID-19 infections, COVID-19 related symptoms, and hospitalizations) were examined. Hazard ratios and 95% confidence interval (CI) of 7-day and 30-day risk for COVID-19 rebound between patients treated with Paxlovid and patients treated with Molnupiravir were calculated before and after propensity-score matching. Results The 7-day and 30-day COVID-19 rebound rates after Paxlovid treatment were 3.53% and 5.40% for COVID-19 infection, 2.31% and 5.87% for COVID-19 symptoms, and 0.44% and 0.77% for hospitalizations. The 7-day and 30-day COVID-19 rebound rates after Molnupiravir treatment were 5.86% and 8.59% for COVID-19 infection, 3.75% and 8.21% for COVID-19 symptoms, and 0.84% and 1.39% for hospitalizations. After propensity-score matching, there were no significant differences in COVID-19 rebound risks between Paxlovid and Molnupiravir: infection (HR 0.90, 95% CI: 0.73-1.11), COVID-19 symptoms (HR: 1.03, 95% CI: 0.83-1.27), or hospitalizations (HR: 0.92, 95% CI: 0.56-1.55).

Patients with COVID-19 rebound had significantly higher prevalence of underlying medical conditions than those without.
Conclusions and Relevance COVID-19 rebound occurred both after Paxlovid and Molnupiravir, especially in patients with underlying medical conditions. This indicates that COVID-19 rebound is not unique to Paxlovid and the risks were similar for Paxlovid and Molnupiravir. For both drugs the rates of COVID-19 rebound increased with time after treatments.’

Results ‘call for continuous surveillance of COVID-19 rebound after Paxlovid and Molnupiravir treatments. Studies are necessary to determine the mechanisms underlying COVID-19 rebounds and to test dosing and duration regimes that might prevent such rebounds in vulnerable patients.’

DEVASTATING! Injecting children with COVID vaxx (FDA, CDC) is going to be deadly!; there is no way you can control a pandemic without having herd immunity; means you must cut the chain of transmission

In reducing the transmission rate, you can protect people who are not immunized as they did not bump up against the virus or their innate immune system is too weak to respond

Firstly, we cannot have these discussions without understanding the viral host ecosystem. The viral host dynamics. It is not a stable condition, not a stable equilibrium, and it will evolve. It is happening now we argue. There will be evolution as long as there is no stable equilibrium between virus and host immune system.

I am writing this as I have understood it from lots of learning from GVB. I am trying to explain it to you. Bear with me please.

Note: at the core, the main culprit, the reason we have catastrophe with these COVID shots is the non-neutralizing antibodies that exert sub-optimal immune pressure on the virus’s spike. We seek to explain everything with this as a basis.
By exposing the population to the virus, you ‘train’ their innate immune system and the training happens early in life, in infants, children, young adolescents etc. But if you inject people that induce antibodies with non-neutralizing capacity and cannot optimally neutralize the virus. Omicron is largely resistant to the vaccinal antibodies. The non-neutralizing antibodies do bind to the virus’s spike still but they do not prevent infection and actually enhance infectiousness of the virus and thus why vaccinated people are at high risk of viral infection post vaccine. Than the non-vaccinated.

But adults and adolescents can offer some resistance to the binding of these sub-optimal non-neutralizing vaccinal antibodies as their innate immune system was ‘trained’ with exposure etc. and their trained innate antibodies have greater affinity for the virus and are not that easily outcompeted by vaccinal antigen-specific antibodies that bind to the virus. Know that we are talking about non-neutralizing antibodies that are also directed to the spike protein.

But when this occurs in young children, infants etc., if their maternal antibodies wane (passed from mother to child), they must start training of their innate immune system and the training happens when they are exposed to environmental factors that trains the immune system.

The innate immune system then gets stronger to recognize the pathogen in the future. Better and better. But before the innate training can happen, we are pushing via FDA and CDC to vaccinate kids with vaccines that no longer induce neutralizing antibodies but can still bind to the virus, the training of the innate antibodies will not take place and the innate antibodies are very naïve, not trained, low affinity and can readily be outcompeted by vaccinal antigen-specific antibodies. The innate antibodies are also blocked from binding to the virus. If the vaccinal antigen specific antibodies had neutralizing capacity (we not non-neutralizing), this would be no problem e.g. we know in omicron etc., it’s sub-variants and clades are largely resistant to the vaccinal antibodies. We know this.

But the strength of the non-neutralizing antibodies will prevent the innate antibodies (or B-cells that produce the innate antibodies) from getting trained and from producing innate antibodies with greater affinity for the virus and thus can protect the kids against COVID and it’s variants. Innate antibodies recognize the virus in a different way that vaccinal antibodies recognize the virus e.g. innate recognize patterns e.g. glycans/sugar patterns on the virus surface of corona virus and these patterns (sugars) are similar on the various variants.

When innate immunity is ‘trained’, it can effectively eliminating the virus. Once someone has trained innate and is exposed to the virus. It can eliminate the virus.

Why do we vaccinate our kids with live attenuated virus in 2022? Why, when we can produce non-replicating virus today that is safer than live attenuated vaccines. Why? Because the live attenuated vaccines are far more effective due to them being live, they enable training of the innate immune system. The trained innate immune system will be then able to effectively eliminate the virus the next time the virus comes along, so will greatly reduce the transmission of the virus in the population and thus contribute to herd immunity in the population. We use live attenuated vaccines for illnesses that are not seasonal like measles, to maintain herd immunity. Yes, we do this for diseases like mumps, rubella, measles etc. to maintain herd immunity.

What is the impact? If we stop kids from training their innate immune system then, it will be devastating against their individual immune defense against pathogen, but the trained innate immunity is capable of eliminating virus and reducing transmission in the population. If this is not taking place in kids, children any more in immunologically naïve children, this elimination of virus, then children will no longer partake in contributing to herd immunity in the population, and by vaccinating with non-neutralizing vaccines with induced non-neutralizing antibodies, evidence shows the vaccines (non-neutralizing antibodies) enhances the infection, infectiousness of the virus. The vaccinee, the children, will be then incredibly susceptible to infection. Remember herd immunity works to protect people who are susceptible by dramatically reducing transmission to them. They have a weak immune system e.g. elderly etc. so herd immunity protects them.

Herd immunity functions to protect persons by diminishing transmission, but with non-neutralizing antibodies, the population becomes susceptible to infection. Herd immunity dramatically reduces transmission. Mass vaccination is now inducing non-neutralizing antibodies and the vaccinated is more susceptible to infection. From the individual perspective and the public health perspective, it is a coming disaster! By moving to vaccinate children.

This is why we do not vaccinate our children with these COVID injections!!!!!!!! If we vaccinate children, we take them off the immunological battlefield and they can no longer contribute to herd immunity. Children are a critical component in getting to herd immunity and needs training of their innate immune system to do this. If you cannot have a dramatic impact in viral transmission, you cannot stop the virus.

Remaining unvaccinated, if our kids remain unvaccinated, our healthy children, they would maintain their functional innate immune systems.

Note I wanted to mention again, we are seeing enhanced infectiousness in the upper respiratory tract (URT) due to the non-neutralizing antibodies (Abs), yet the same vaccinal Abs are preventing severe disease in the lower respiratory tract (deep in the lung/alveoli) (LRT). Research shows in vitro, non-neutralizing Abs can prevent severe illness. Yet it is due to the binding of the non-neutralizing Abs to the N-terminal domain of the Spike protein (not binding to the receptor binding domain); the non-neutralizing Abs are inducing sub-optimal immune pressure on the virus virulence. Yes, you are seeing some protection against severe illness in the LRT while there is increased infection in the URT.

But there is evolution occurring and this is not stable. In the outset, in the beginning when we started the mass vaccination (February 2021 or so), we suppressed viral infectiousness in URT and then it returned (virus came back) with variants that were more infectious. That overcame the sub-optimal immune pressure and selected for infectious variants.

Same thing is going to happen we think in the LRT. We are now suppressing the virulence/lethality of the virus and thus it is very likely the virus will return with variants that are more virulent, and will override this immune pressure on viral virulence. Remember, variants were selected that overcame viral infectiousness in the URT. Variants that were very much more infectious. We argue soon variants will be selected (due to non-neutralizing Abs putting pressure on spike and virulence) that will overcome viral virulence in LRT.

Variants would be selected, that are more virulent, that would over-ride the immune pressure on virulence. And we will have in front of us, a major catastrophe for it will then be both infectious, and also virulent/lethal and will ravage the elderly but also children. Could devastate humanity!

The COVID non-neutralizing injections MUST be stopped and are not to be given to our children!

The MSM DEATHVAX™ Coverup Continues: How to fix forgetfulness and brain fog

Another day, another MSM coverup story. Today’s absurd mendaciousness is brought to us courtesy of The Australian Financial Review.

Forgetting words, woolly thinking and a poor attention span are becoming increasingly common, but what’s behind it?​

Why, what could it ever be that is causing your brain to meltdown in real time?

It’s almost as if the highly DEATHVAXXED™ antipodal nation is now experiencing Accelerated Alzheimer’s disease (AAD) to go along with their surging SADS cases, rising hospital ICU admissions and parabolic all-cause mortality increases. Not to mention the wholly unprecedented phenomenon of Australian iVAIDS “pandemic babies” born without immune systems.

What ever could be causing such mystifyingly mysterious “coincidences”?

Aging things. Windmills? No, that’s not it. Wind farms? No, that’s the name for all of them together. Roundabouts? I ventured, knowing it was wrong.​

​

Two hours later my friend shouted: “Wind Turbine!” and let out a sigh of relief. My friend is 60 and worries she has early-onset Alzheimer’s, her memory lapses are so regular. She was relieved that I am 15 years younger and experiencing the same thing.​

There’s that dreaded mention of AAD that reader’s of this substack are now acutely aware of; to wit:

No, that’s not it. ADD? No, that’s the name for many of the adverse events of them together. “Safe and Effective”? She ventured, knowing deep inside it was wrong.

A second later the author who refused to subject himself to a single dose of the slow kill bioweapon injection had no choice but to write: “DEATHVAX™!”

But I digress.

And I am. Not only do I forget words - a real problem if you are a writer - but my thinking is slow and muddled. I find it hard to concentrate for long and I often lose my train of thought. It’s like my mind is full of cotton wool.​

​

I had COVID twice, at the start of the pandemic and again this March, but the most recent occasion was very mild - could that be the cause of my brain fog? I’m heading into my middle years so is it, in fact, hormonal? Maybe, but that doesn’t explain why so many people around me are suffering similar symptoms despite being of different ages and sex.​

Of course, they had COVID twice! But not a single mention of the you know what. Nor a single mention of when they contracted COVID in relation to their deadly EUA gene therapy injection.

As we have established what seems like innumerable times now, the infection rate of COVID increases with each dose:

Again, zero mention of BigPharma in this article, which goes on to make yet another most suspect point:

Dr Sabina Brennan, health psychologist, neuroscientist and author of Beating Brain Fog, agrees that this is a growing problem. “Brain fog has become much more common as a result of COVID itself and also as a consequence of the stress of the last two years.” ​

Not even the “expert” that they dug up from somewhere dares once mention the glaringly obvious culprit.
With their coverup coverage, both the author and The Australian Financial Review are guilty of aiding and abetting the global perpetrators of these bioterror Crimes Against Humanity.

While COVID may possibly be causing some of these AAD issues, none of these AE’s were ever once mentioned during the “pandemic”, yet coverage of these deadly “vaccine” reactions have exploded since the DEATHVAX™ rollout.
Do you really believe in all of these mystifyingly mysterious “coincidences”?

First it was CEO Scott Davison of OneAmerica who in January disclosed that deaths were up 40% among people ages 18-64:

“We are seeing, right now, the highest death rates we have seen in the history of this business – not just at OneAmerica. The data is consistent across every player in that business.”​

And now we have the CEO of Lincoln National, the fifth largest life insurance company in America, corroborating the 40% surge in all-cause mortality.

These are one in a trillion year type events. You could add the mortalities from WW1 and WW2 and still not get such increases in death. This is staggering.

In 2021, Lincoln National reported a 163 percent increase in death benefits that were paid out under their group life insurance policies.​

Company cites "non-pandemic-related morbidity" and "unusual claims adjustments" in explanation of losses from group life insurance business: Stock falling, replaces CEO
Margaret Menge
Jun 15

Five months after breaking the story of the CEO of One America insurance company saying deaths among working people ages 18-64 were up 40% in the third quarter of 2021, I can report that a much larger life insurance company, Lincoln National, reported a 163% increase in death benefits paid out under its group life insurance policies in 2021.

This is according to the annual statements filed with state insurance departments — statements that were provided exclusively to Crossroads Report in response to public records requests.

The reports show a more extreme situation than the 40% increase in deaths in the third quarter of 2021 that was cited in late December by One America CEO Scott Davison — an increase that he said was industry-wide and that he described at the time as “unheard of” and “huge, huge numbers” and the highest death rates that have ever been seen in the history of the life insurance business.

The annual statements for Lincoln National Life Insurance Company show that the company paid out in death benefits under group life insurance polices a little over $500 million in 2019, about $548 million in 2020, and a stunning $1.4 billion in 2021.

From 2019, the last normal year before the pandemic, to 2020, the year of the Covid-19 virus, there was an increase in group death benefits paid out of only 9 percent. But group death benefits in 2021, the year the vaccine was introduced, increased almost 164 percent over 2020.

Here are the precise numbers for Group Death Benefits taken from Lincoln National’s annual statements for the three years:

2019: $500,888,808
2020: $547,940,260
2021: $1,445,350,949

Here are the key numbers for 2021, below, shown on the company’s annual statement that was filed with the Michigan Department of Insurance and Financial Services. These are national numbers, not state-specific:



Lincoln National is the fifth-largest life insurance company in the United States, according to BankRate, after New York Life, Northwestern Mutual, MetLife and Prudential.

The company was founded in Fort Wayne, Indiana in 1905, getting the OK from Abraham Lincoln’s son, Robert Todd Lincoln, to use his father’s name and likeness in its advertising.

It’s now based in Radnor, Pennsylvania.

The annual statements filed with the states do not show the number of claims — only the total dollar amount of claims paid.

Group life insurance policies, in most cases, cover working-age adults ages 18-64 whose employer includes life insurance as an employee benefit.

How many deaths are represented by the 163% increase? It is not possible to determine by the dollar figures on the statements.

But the average death benefit for employer-provided group life insurance, according to the Society for Human Resource Management, is one year’s salary.

If the average annual salary of people covered by group life insurance policies in the United States is $70,000, this may represent 20,647 deaths of working adults, covered by just this one insurance company. This would represent at least 10,000 more deaths than in a normal year for just this one company.

The statements for the three years also show a sizable increase in ordinary death benefits — those not paid out under group policies, but under individual life insurance policies.

In 2019, the baseline year, that number was $3.7 billion. In 2020, the year of the Covid-19 pandemic, it went up to $4 billion, but in 2021, the year in which the vaccine was administered to almost 260 million Americans, it went up to $5.3 billion.

The statements show that the total amount that Lincoln National paid out for all direct claims and benefits in 2021 was more than $28 billion, $6 billion more than in 2020, when it paid out a total of $22 billion, which was less than the $23 billion it paid out in 2019, the baseline year.





A $6 billion increase in expenses is something few companies could absorb, but Lincoln National has been working to do just that — by increasing sales of new insurance polices.

In the press release accompanying its annual report, and in its press release announcing the first quarter 2022 results — in which the company announces a $41 million loss in its Group Protection business — it trumpets an increase in sales. For first quarter 2022 that increase was 42 percent. The company also mentions that premiums have gone up 4 percent.

Interestingly, in the press release accompanying the first-quarter 2022 results, Lincoln National attributes the $41 million operating loss to “non-pandemic-related morbidity” and “unusual claims adjustments.”

“This change was driven by non-pandemic-related morbidity [emphasis added], including unusual claims adjustments [emphasis added], and less favorable returns within the company’s alternative investment portfolio.”



Morbidity, of course, means disease. A lot of people are sick.

This matches what I was told by OneAmerica in January in emails following the publication of my story in The Center Square — that it was not only deaths of working-age people that shot up to unheard-of levels in 2021, but also short- and long-term disability claims.

Annual statements for other insurance companies are still being compiled and reviewed. So far, Lincoln National shows the sharpest increases in death benefits paid out in 2021, though Prudential and Northwestern Mutual also show significant increases — increases much larger in 2021 than in 2020, indicating that the cure was worse than the disease — much worse.

Lincoln National’s stock price fell from about $70 a share on January 3 to $50 a share this week, and last month, a new CEO was installed. It doesn’t appear to be a sudden change, but could have been timed to assuage major shareholders who have no idea what’s really happening and may think that a fresh face and fresh ideas can turn this around. Could I suggest instead an honest and thorough assessment of what’s really driving these stunning numbers?

I dedicate this post to Igor Chudov, Jessica Rose, Arkmedic and Spartacus - all brilliant illuminators.

Chronic inflammation happens when the immune system doesn’t turn off after an injury or triggering event is over. It is immune activation that continues even after the initial injury is gone, it is very problematic. Chronic inflammation is like a volume control knob on a stereo being stuck—with the volume turned all the way up.

A few years ago, HIV specialists and researchers started talking about inflammation more and more. They noticed that people living with HIV—even those successfully treated with combination antiretroviral therapy (ART)—had higher levels of inflammation than HIV-negative people. And, even though those patients weren’t getting opportunistic infections anymore, they still had higher rates of heart disease and non-HIV-related cancers higher than the general population.

So, the question is, why is this happening?

There are several explanations, and I will explain how COVID mirrors them.

The first one is that there is ongoing viral replication in controlled HIV patients. It is hypothesized that these small amounts of virus are stimulating the immune system causing inflammation. COVID mimics this in that there is Spike Protein present in those with Acute COVID and is found in those with Long COVID. The presence of the Spike Protein is causing this constant inflammation. The paper I referenced on July 1st proved this.




Persistent circulating SARS-CoV-2 spike is associated with post-acute COVID-19 sequelae
Persistent circulating SARS-CoV-2 spike is associated with post-acute COVID-19 sequelae

Also, a summary of an oral report in June’s Journal of Hypertension found additional proof of the inflammatory nature of the Spike Protein:

S1P (S1 unit of the Spike Protein) increased gene expression of IL-6 (1.3-fold), TNFα (6.2-fold) and IL-1β (3.3-fold), effects that were maximized by IFNs.​

IMMUNE DYSREGULATION INDUCED BY SPIKE PROTEIN 1 OF SARS-COV-2 INCREASES ENDOTHELIAL CELL DYSFUNCTION VIA TYPE I AND TYPE III INTERFERON ACTIVATION PATHWAYS

https://journals.lww.com/jhypertension/Abstract/2022/06001
/IMMUNE_DYSREGULATION_INDUCED_BY_SPIKE_PROTEIN_1_OF.58.aspx

Why does this worry me with regards to Spike Protein vaccinations? Because THE SPIKE IS ALWAYS CLEAVED. S1 will be set free. This is apart from the amyloidogenic properties of the Spike Protein which, I believe is inducing a Systemic Amyloidosis/Fibrosis causing the THYMUS to be “Fibrosed.” This, I believe, is one of the major reasons why we are seeing T-Cell depletion in those reinfected and transfected. The THYMUS is being replaced by deposition of nonfunctioning proteins.

Researchers discover possible connection between harmful amyloid production and COVID-19 symptoms
Researchers discover possible connection between harmful amyloid production and COVID-19 symptoms

Once again, this gives us a parallel to HIV.

Make sure you are sitting down for this one: In some people with HIV, the thymus turns into scar tissue—it becomes “fibrosed”—and doesn’t work as well.



Human immunodeficiency virus infection induces lymphoid fibrosis in the BM-liver-thymus-spleen humanized mouse model
Human immunodeficiency virus infection induces lymphoid fibrosis in the BM-liver-thymus-spleen humanized mouse model - PubMed

The paper states:

Several reports suggest a nexus between lymphoid tissue fibrosis, chronic inflammation, immunodeficiency, and immune impairment in chronic HIV infection. The role of HIV-induced lymphoid tissue fibrosis in persistent immune abnormalities, including limited immune reconstitution, chronic inflammation, and functional exhaustion of antiviral T cells in ART-suppressed individuals, remains to be clearly defined.​

And therefore SARS-CoV-2 is probably the most dangerous pathogen ever to be unleashed on mankind. It is NOT that you get sick and recover like the common cold and most cases of the flu, etc. People are being repeatedly sickened with COVID. Many are on their fourth and fifth bouts – not to mention other “exposures” to the Spike Protein. I don’t believe there is or ever can be lasting immunity to this virus. I believe they did their best to cover up their world (as we knew it) ending DISASTER of a MISTAKE. But, it is far too little and could never have been on time.

It is this constant exposure to the Spike Protein that will destroy the immune system like so many torpedoes.

In chronic infections and cancer, T cells are exposed to persistent antigen and/or inflammatory signals. This scenario is often associated with the deterioration of T cell function: a state called ‘exhaustion’. Exhausted T cells lose robust effector functions, express multiple inhibitory receptors and are defined by an altered transcriptional programme. T cell exhaustion is often associated with inefficient control of persisting infections and tumours.​

3. Monkeypox Outbreak in U.S. is Bigger than the CDC Reports
“For many of the confirmed cases, health officials don't know how the person caught the virus. Those infected haven't traveled or come into contact with another infected person. That means the virus is spreading in some communities and cities, cryptically.”

5. What Omicron’s BA.4 and BA.5 Variants Mean for the Pandemic
“Lab studies consistently suggest that antibodies triggered by vaccination are less effective at blocking BA.4 and BA.5 than they are at blocking earlier Omicron strains, including BA.1 and BA.2. This could leave even vaccinated and boosted people vulnerable to multiple Omicron infections, scientists say.”

Q&A #14: Are the C-19 unvaccinated ‘more’ or ‘less’ susceptible to contracting severe disease from avian influenza and monkeypox?

DR. Geert Vanden Bossche answers:

In my opinion, there can be no doubt that 'C-19 pandemic-experienced' C-19-unvaccinated people are much less susceptible to severe disease from avian influenza and monkeypox. This is because they got an opportunity to train their cell-mediated innate immunity (i.e., NK cells) during the pandemic. Training basically results in the enhanced recognition of virus-derived self-mimicking peptides (VSMPs) that are expressed at the surface of virus-infected host cells at an early stage of infection (i.e., before viral progeny is produced).

There is a high level of similarity between the VSMPs derived from Coronaviruses and those derived from orthopox viruses (both, influenza viruses and monkeypox, smallpox, cowpox belong to the genus Orthopoxvirus). It is, therefore, reasonable to assume that NK cells from Coronavirus-experienced, unvaccinated people will be well prepared to also tackle orthopox viruses. This will leave enough time for the adaptive immune system to finally eliminate avian influenza virus and monkeypox virus via poorly MHC class I-restricted CD8+ T cells.

However, if the infectious pressure is high, these viruses might still cause disease (but not severe) in the unvaccinated. On the other hand, as monkeypox and avian flu only spread via people with symptoms, isolation and quarantining of people with symptoms should dramatically reduce viral pressure. So, the unvaccinated should be fine.

Even fully vaccinated people will still present VSMPs at the surface of their SC-2-infected epithelial cells. However, high levels of (continuously boosted) infection-enhancing Abs will raise viral infectiousness to levels that simply overload the cell-based innate immune system. The innate immune system serves the purpose of '1st line' of immune defense and cannot cope with a high viral load without calling in the 'special forces' of the adaptive immune system.

In vaccinees, however, the latter (Ag-specific IgGs and MHC-unrestricted CD8+ T cells) are already stretched beyond the affordable limits in a desperate attempt to eliminate the virus. There is, therefore, no further room for them to come to the aid of the NK cells to clear other viruses from the body. If you want to read more about the critical role of NK cells in the immune response to Sars-CoV-2, please consult my website: Home | Voice for Science and Solidarity
‍
In conclusion, as an unvaccinated healthy individual with adequately trained NK cells, I wouldn't worry too much about getting severely ill from monkeypox or avian flu. So, the unvaccinated who did not get the smallpox shot in the past, should not panic as they may just get away with mild or, at worst, moderate illness (depending on level of epigenetic NK cell training and their overall health status). And BTW, be careful with the smallpox vaccines as only replication-competent vaccine can be used; replication-incompetent orthopox vaccines induce Abs that because of the different surface decoration of monkeypox as compared to cowpox/ vaccinia (i.e., the poxvirus used in the smallpox vaccine) may enhance people's susceptibility to ADEI upon subsequent exposure to monkeypox. On the other hand, live attenuated, replication-incompetent monkeypox vaccine will not enable NK cell training!

It doesn't look like the vaccine works as far as cases go as compared to variants before Omicron. Deaths? We will have to wait and make a judgment after this 5th wave.

Q&A #16 : Is there any evidence that society has ever vaccinated its way out of a pandemic?

Have we forgotten about smallpox? Wasn’t that a pandemic? Wasn’t a vaccine used? Didn’t the vaccine not only eradicate the pandemic but even the virus all together?

A pandemic is not necessarily characterized by waves. In cases of a viral pandemic, waves only occur with pandemics of acute self-limiting viral infections (ASLVIs) caused by glycosylated viruses.

This is the only case where waves are not only required but also sufficient to generate herd immunity. That process is rooted in the natural immune response acquired by individuals who experienced productive viral infection. Smallpox, however, does not cause ASLV infection but acute, self-limiting viral disease(ASLVD).

A pandemic of smallpox in a given place/ country doesn’t come in waves and, therefore, herd immunity (HI) cannot be generated (see below).

In case of smallpox, generation of herd protection is rooted in the natural immunity acquired by each individual who experienced and abrogated the disease.

That type of immunity is not prone to immune escape since abrogation of viral infection is based on elimination of virus-infected host cells by MHC-unrestricted, polyspecific T cells. Hence, you can mimic this with any live attenuated poxvirus (as the CTL epitope is highly conserved). As this response will be memorized upon re-exposure, the population will be fully protected against any poxvirus coming along (you eradicate the virus by making the population resistant to productive infection).

So, at least for viruses causing ASLVD, like poxviruses, there is clear evidence that society vaccinated its way out of a pandemic.

However, it is impossible to do this with ASLVI (caused by other glycosylated viruses); this is because natural immunity in this case is based on a well-orchestrated collaborative effort of trained innate immune cells (NK cells) and acquired antigen-specific antibodies (Abs) [so, not on elimination of virus-infected cells only!].

Herd protection in this case relies on prevention (not abrogation!) of (productive) infection. In case of high infectious pressure (pandemic/ epidemic!), this will definitely require the support from the acquired Ag-specific Abs. That’s where the issue of ‘immune escape’ comes up: Abs generated as a result of mass vaccination, even using live attenuated virus (like in the case of smallpox), will not be able to rapidly and sufficiently support innate immune cells to get rid of the viral load. This particularly occurs in the elderly (or vulnerable) population due to weakened innate immunity. It creates a situation where growing titers of immature Ab titers are regularly encountering a high viral load: A recipe for immune escape! So even upon using live viral vaccines it’s impossible to vaccinate you way out of a pandemic of a glycosylated virus causing ASLVI.

Only a pandemic of a glycosylated virus causing ASLVI can generate herd protection via herd immunity. However, it’s only possible for Nature (all my respect!) to do this if the fight (between virus and host immune system) get split up in several stages (so called ‘waves’ of the pandemic).

After each stage/ wave, herd immunity has grown and will finally reach a stage where the level of trained innate immunity in the population is strong enough to diminish viral transmission down to a level where the Abs don’t drive any longer natural selection and adaptation of more infectious immune escape variants; that’s how the threshold of HI is achieved without driving immune escape .

Of course, HI isn’t sterilizing and does not enable eradication of the virus. So, asymptomatic infection and transmission will still occur and characterize the endemic phase….A nice equilibrium that satisfies both the virus (can still replicate) and the population (no longer suffering from disease and death) and that will limit a flare-up to an outbreak, not to an epidemic (unless natural ‘antigenic shift’ or antigenic shift driven by a mass vaccination program conducted in the midst of a pandemic!)

Hope this shows once again that the answer to all these Qs lies in the science.

The immuno-epidemiological consequences of the mass vaccination experiment - summary

t.co

By

Geert Vanden Bossche

Dear all,

For the past two weeks I have been working on a document summarizing my conclusions on the immuno-epidemiological consequences of the mass vaccination experiment.

The result of this is even more frightening than I had predicted. I’ve, therefore, appended a summary of my manuscript by way of ‘tsunami warning’.

In a nutshell, here is what I am 100% certain of:

The current SC-2 pandemic is still expanding as it is a pandemic of ‘more infectious’ variants and is thus enhancing the susceptibility of vaccinees to infection (infection-enhancing antibodies) while diminishing the susceptibility of the unvaccinated (infection-mediated training of innate cell-mediated immunity).

• In the pre-Omicron era, we saw more infectious variants becoming dominant; however, thanks to the neutralizing antibodies, vaccinees were still protected against disease. However, with the advent of Omicron and its growing resistance to neutralizing antibodies, vaccinees became more susceptible to infection; what we are now seeing is more virulent variants becoming dominant (Omicron subvariants BA.4 and BA.5[1]). however, thanks to the virulence-neutralizing antibodies (which are the same as those enhancing infection at the upper respiratory tract!), vaccinees were still protected against severe disease (e.g., in case of BA.1 and BA.2). I’ve no doubt, however, that with the growing resistance of BA.4 and BA.5 to the virulence-neutralizing Abs, vaccinees will now rapidly become more susceptible to virulence.
  
  
  
• Due to repetitive activation of the immune system in C-19 vaccinees, several infectious diseases can now be spread asymptomatically by vaccinees. Due to widespread asymptomatic transmission in highly vaccinated countries and the subsequent rise in infectious pressure, infection-mediated immunity in certain subsets of the population no longer suffices to prevent productive infection. This is now basically igniting the global spread of a number of acute, self-limiting microbial infections (e.g., ‘seasonal’ Flu, RSV but also vaccine-preventable viral and bacterial infections in countries that interrupted their childhood vax program due to Covid crisis) and also of some acute, self-limiting viral diseases (e.g., monkeypox, pandemic [avian H5N1] flu). In addition, depletion of cytotoxic CD8 T cells due to repetitive cycles of re-infection has also led to an increased recurrence/reactivation rate of chronic infections (e.g., herpetic diseases + CMV, EBV, CMV, HIV, tuberculosis..) and relapse or metastasis of certain cancers in vaccinees.
• 
  
  
• In the summary appended, I am sharing my informed predictions on the health impact these pandemics will entail in different subgroups of a highly vaccinated population. While these new pandemics are developing, the super C-19 pandemic I’ve been warning about is coming our way soon. In highly vaccinated countries, it will definitely overhaul the pandemics mentioned above. This is because massive replacement of ‘natural infection-acquired’ immunity to SC-2 by ‘imperfect’ vaccine-induced immunity is now driving the evolution of the C-19 pandemic in highly vaccinated countries. This will not be the case in poorly vaccinated countries where natural immunity has been largely preserved and the population is often much younger (e.g., African countries).

Last, I’d like to repeat my advice:
· If you’re C-19 vaccinated: Make sure you’ve access to antivirals and antibiotics and that you’ve established a contact with an MD you can trust.

• If you’re not C-19 vaccinated: You should under no condition get the seasonal Flu shot as vaccination with inactivated Flu vaccines will dramatically increase the risk of catching ADEI in the event you get exposed to avian flu. Under no condition should you get a non-replicating smallpox vaccine.Since surface proteins of smallpox (using cowpox as live attenuated immunogen) are different from those decorating monkeypox, and as the non-replicating vaccine primarily induces antibodies (Abs), you could expose yourself to a real risk of ADEI. However, C-19 unvaccinated people don’t need a smallpox jab at all (and they don’t need an avian Flu vaccine either – in case the industry comes up with a pandemic flu vaccine!) regardless of whether they got the smallpox vaccine in the past. Training of our innate immune system against Coronavirus (i.e., SC-2) during the C-19 pandemic will not only provide strong innate immune protection against influenza virus and poxviruses but also against other glycosylated viruses causing acute, self-limiting infection (e.g., RSV, other common cold CoV). I can explain this, but that would take somewhat longer. Upon exposure to smallpox or avian Flu, a C-19 unvaccinated person who is in good health and experienced mild or moderate C-19 symptoms as a result of previous natural infection (‘thanks’ to the C-19 pandemic) may still get some mild illness but that’s it! This will just induce additional antibodies to fully protect you next time around, pretty much like a live attenuated viral vaccine does. There is even a high likelihood that there won’t be a ‘vaccine take’ when you become vaccinated with live attenuated smallpox as your trained NK cells may kick out the vaccinal virus right away. However innate immune training against CoV (e.g., SC-2) will not protect against measles, mumps, rubella or varicella (M, M, R, V). So, I simply continue recommending you to vaccinate your child against these childhood diseases before local outbreaks/ epidemics occur.
• 
  It’s never a good idea, and could be dangerous for the child, to get the MMRV shot during a situation of high infectious pressure. Also, it is not recommended to vaccinate older children / adults/ elderly with these live attenuated vaccines if they’ve not been vaccinated against those diseases before. So, those who didn’t receive these childhood vaccines and did not acquire natural immunity as a result of previous natural infection are at risk of contracting the disease in case of an outbreak.
• 
  [*]Unvaccinated elderly and vulnerable people (e.g., with co-morbidities) have a risk of contracting moderate to severe disease from Flu or RSV. The likelihood for developing severe disease increases when the innate immune system is weakened, especially in case of exposure to high infectious pressure (the latter could, for example, rapidly build up in areas of high population density such as nursing homes.
• 
  I would, therefore, recommend removingyour parent/ grand-parents from nursing homes ASAP.
  [*]Live attenuated smallpox vaccine will not work in C-19 vaccineesbecause host cells that are infected with vaccinal virus will be readily recognized and killed by cytotoxic CD8 T cells that are continuously activated due to the enhanced susceptibility of vaccinees to re-infection.
• 
  [*]C-19 vaccination of children must stop immediately. Not only will the C-19 vaccines fully prevent innate antibodies from neutralizing the virus, but they will also irreversibly prevent the innate antibodies (in association with the virus) from educating the cell-based innate immune system (e.g., NK cells). Instead, the vaccinal antibodies will enhance viral infectiousness and enable the virus to blow straight through the innate immune defense, thereby causing severe C-19 disease. It will also prevent the child from educating its innate immune system (a corner stone of natural immunity!) to recognize several other (glycosylated) pathogens while discriminating those from self-antigens. This could lead to severe disease caused by several other (glycosylated) pathogens which the child has not been vaccinated against as well as to severe immune pathology! It will also no longer be possible to vaccinate children with other live attenuated childhood vaccines once they’ve gotten the Covid-19 shot for these vaccines could now cause severe disease. So, the C-19 vaccine could be a death sentence for a young child!

You’ll find more details on these recommendations highlighted in the full manuscript I am still working on.
As far as the evolution of the C-19 pandemic is concerned, this is what you need to track if you want to know when the super C-19 pandemic is about to kick off:

When the ratio of the vaccinated to unvaccinated people in the age group 10-60 years old, who are hospitalized because of Covid-19, starts to rapidly increase, we will know that the super C-19 pandemic has begun. That’s the most sensitive criterion!
My heart goes out to the vaccinated people. The only way to bypass the malicious C-19 priming is to properly educate the vaccinee’s innate immune effector cells in the absence of replicating virus. It will be critical to treat them as of the early onset of symptoms. Treatment with antivirals shortly after infection could possibly train their innate immune system without boosting their infection-enhancing antibodies[2].

Covid-19 May Have Originated in US Biolab – Lancet Commission Chair
Jeffrey Sachs, who chairs Covid-19 commission at the prestigious medical journal, has claimed the deadly virus did not come out of nature
RT Staff • July 1, 2022

Covid-19 did not come out of some natural reservoir but rather “out of US lab biotechnology” in an accident, world-renowned economist and author Jeffrey Sachs has claimed, speaking at a conference hosted by the GATE Center think tank in Spain in mid-June.

While introducing this “provocative statement,” Sachs suggested that he was in the loop, as he chairs the Covid-19 commission at prestigious medical journal The Lancet.

“So it’s a blunder, in my view, of biotech, not an accident of a natural spillover,” he reiterated.

2 hr 21 min 11 sec

The academic noted that while “we don’t know for sure” if this is the case, there is “enough evidence” pointing to this, which “should be looked into.” Sachs lamented that this version is, however, “not being investigated, not in the United States, not anywhere.”

Back in May, Sachs, along with Columbia University professor of molecular pharmacology and therapeutics Neil Harrison, penned an article in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, suggesting Covid-19 had originated in a laboratory. In the paper, the two academics called for greater transparency on the part of US federal agencies and universities, arguing that a lot of pertinent evidence was not disclosed.

Virus databases, biological samples, viral sequences, email communications, and laboratory notebooks could all help shed light on the pandemic origin, according to Sachs and Harrison. However, none of these materials had been subjected to “independent, transparent, and scientific scrutiny,” they argued.

As an indicator that Covid 19 had originated from a laboratory, the authors brought up the fact that a sequence of eight amino acids on a critical part of the virus’s spike protein is similar to an amino acid sequence found in cells that line human airways.

In fact, Sachs is not the first one to suggest that the deadly virus had not occurred naturally.

While there is no conclusive evidence that would trace Covid-19’s origin beyond a reasonable doubt, the World Health Organization (WHO) concluded in February 2021 that it had most likely been transmitted from an animal, possibly a bat, to humans.

The highly contagious virus was first identified in Wuhan, China, in late 2019. It then quickly spread globally, with several waves claiming millions of lives by May 2022, according to the WHO.

Covid leaked from an AMERICAN lab and not the notorious Chinese facility at centre of pandemic cover-up, claims top US professor described as 'Xi propagandist'
By Connor Boyd Deputy Health Editor For Mailonline
Published: 12:44 EDT, 4 July 2022 | Updated: 12:49 EDT, 4 July 2022

• Famous US economist Professor Jeffrey Sachs made explosive claims last month
• He is 'pretty convinced' the pandemic was borne out of 'US lab biotechnology'
• Sachs has previously been accused of being a President Xi 'propagandist'

Covid leaked out of a laboratory in America rather than China, it has been sensationally claimed.

Famous US economist Jeffrey Sachs, who led a two-year probe into the pandemic's origins, said he was 'pretty convinced' the virus was the result of 'US lab biotechnology'.

The claim, made at a global conference last month, has been seized upon by Chinese Government officials who said it warranted a 'thorough investigation'.

Professor Sachs, who was twice named one of Time magazine’s 100 most influential people in the world, admitted 'we don't know for sure'.

'But there's enough evidence that it should be looked into and it's not being investigated — not in the US, not anywhere.'

He added: 'I think for real reasons, they [US officials] don't want to look under the rug too much.'

Critics have previously described Professor Sachs as a President Xi 'propagandist', dismissing China's genocide of Uighurs and publicly calling for US cooperation.

It is unclear if Professor Sachs believes Covid originated in the US or was borne out of a collaboration between American and Chinese scientists in Wuhan.

MailOnline has approached Professor Sachs for comment.

China has faced its own accusations of covering up the origins of Covid.

Scientists were found to have wiped crucial databases and stifled independent investigations into a lab just miles away from the pandemic's ground zero.

The virus first began spreading from a wet market in Wuhan, about eight miles from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) which worked with dangerous coronaviruses.

Researchers who fell ill with a mysterious flu-like virus months before the official Covid timeline were silenced or disappeared.

Professor Sachs is the chairman of the Lancet Covid-19 Commission, set up at the start of the pandemic to assist governments and scrutinise responses.

He oversaw a 12-man taskforce investigating Covid's origins that was shut down in September 2021 when it emerged the team had financial links to the WIV.

The celebrity economist has said previously he believes the pandemic was the result of experiments done between Chinese and American scientists.

But until now, claims the virus was created in the US were confined to Chinese disinformation campaigns.

Speaking at a conference on June 15, Professor Sachs said: 'I'll add one provocative statement, it may shock you or not shock you, you may say "I already know that Professor Sachs".

'But I chaired a commission for the lancet for two years on Covid.

'I'm pretty convinced it came out of US lab biotechnology — not out of nature — just to mention after two years of intensive work on this.

'So it's a blunder in my view — of biotech — not an accident or natural spillover.'

A video of the full conference, organised by Spanish globalisation think-tank Gate Centre, was posted on YouTube last month.

But his comments have been clipped and shared on Twitter by at least two Chinese diplomats in recent days.

Hua Chunying, the country's assistant minister of foreign affairs, tweeted: 'Given the heavy human and economic toll taken by the virus, don't we owe it to the millions of lives lost to have a thorough investigation into US labs?'

A disinformation campaign launched by the Chinese Government last year claimed Covid originated from an American military base in Maryland.

It gained significant traction in China but was widely seen as an outlandish counter-claim by the rest of the world.

Serious questions have, however, been raised about the Wuhan facility's links to Covid.

The lab was known to be conducting experiments on bat coronavirus strains similar to the one responsible for the pandemic in the months before the pandemic.

In public, mainstream media and academics in the West called the lab leak theory an unhinged conspiracy theory.

But leaked emails showed top scientists advising the UK and US Governments were expressing concerns about the official narrative privately.

Sir Jeremy Farrar, an eminent British expert who publicly denounced the theory as a 'conspiracy', admitted in a private email in February 2020 that a 'likely explanation' was that the virus was man-made.

The then-UK Government adviser said at the time he was '70:30 or 60:40' in favour of an accidental release versus natural origin.

In the email, sent to American health chiefs Dr Anthony Fauci and Dr Francis Collins, Sir Jeremy said it was possible Covid had been evolved from a Sars-like virus in the lab.

He went on that this seemingly benign process may have 'accidentally created a virus primed for rapid transmission between humans'.

But the British scientist was shut down by his counterparts in the US who warned further debate about the origins of the virus could damage 'international harmony'.

Last month Government sources claimed the head of the World Health Organization (WHO) privately believes the Covid pandemic started following a leak in China.

While publicly the group maintains that ‘all hypotheses remain on the table’ about the origins of Covid, the source said Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director-general of the World Health Organisation (WHO), had recently confided to a senior European politician that the most likely explanation was a catastrophic accident at a laboratory in Wuhan, where infections first spread during late 2019.

EU President 'Can't Find' Texts With Pfizer Chief Discussing COVID-19 Vaccine
by Tyler Durden
Monday, Jul 04, 2022 - 08:25 AM

In April 2021, European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen revealed that she had been texting with Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla for a month straight while they were negotiating a massive contract for Covid-19 vaccines.

Now, they're gone.

According to Reuters, "in response to a public access request by a journalist because of the importance of the deal, the Commission did not share the texts, triggering accusations of maladministration by the EU’s ombudsman, Emily O’Reilly."

"The Commission can confirm that the search undertaken by the President’s cabinet for relevant text messages corresponding to the request for access to documents has not yielded any results," said EU justice commissioner Vera Jourova in a letter to O'Reilly, an EU watchdog.

In the letter, the Commission argues that text messages do not need to be registered and stored because they are treated as “short-lived, ephemeral documents”. The same exception to the general registration requirement applies to documents with no important information, the letter said.​

​

A spokesperson for the ombudsman said that it planned to publish a detailed analysis on the matter in the next couple of weeks. -Reuters​

In an April 2021 NYT interview, von dery Leyen said she negotiated the 'biggest contract ever sealed for COVID-19 vaccines' via text messages and calls, resulting in the EU committing to purchase 900 million Pfizer-BioNTech jabs, with an option for 900 million more down the road. By the time the deal was formally announced in May 2021, the EU had already secured a wide range of vaccines from several manufacturers - including another 600 million doses from Pfizer.

Many of the EU governments who initially backed the deal are now trying to renegotiate or cut supplies of the Pfizer jab amid cratering vaccination rates and concerns over waste.

Twitter 'Silenced' Physicians Who Posted Truthful Information About COVID, Lawsuit Alleges
by Tyler Durden
Monday, Jul 04, 2022 - 04:30 PM

Authored by Megan Redshaw via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),

Three physicians are suing Twitter, alleging the company violated its own terms of service and community standards when it suspended their accounts for posting “truthful statements regarding COVID-19 policy, diagnosis and/or treatment.”

Drs. Robert Malone, Peter McCullough and Bryan Tyson on Monday filed the lawsuit in Superior Court in California, San Francisco County.

The complaint alleges Twitter breached the terms of its contract when it permanently suspended the plaintiffs’ accounts, silenced their voices and failed to provide them with “verified” badges.

Plaintiffs allege Twitter’s actions were a substantial factor in causing them harm, and are asking the judge to order Twitter to reactivate their accounts.

All three doctors are represented by attorneys Bryan M. Garrie and Matthew P. Tyson (no relation to the plaintiff, Bryan Tyson).

Matthew Tyson on May 12, sent a letter to the directors and managing agents of Twitter requesting the company reinstate the accounts of five physicians, including the plaintiffs, and provide them with “verified” badges. Twitter failed to respond.

In the letter, Matthew Tyson acknowledged Twitter is a “private company” and its terms state it can “suspend user accounts for any or no reason.”

“However, Twitter also implemented specific community standards to limit COVID-19 misinformation on the platform, and Twitter was bound to follow those terms,” he added.

According to the complaint, Twitter’s content-moderation terms included removal procedures for ineffective treatments and false diagnostic criteria, and measures for “labeling” information as “misleading.”

Twitter has a “five-strike policy” as part of its COVID-19 misinformation guidelines and community standards.

Twitter’s website states:

“The consequences for violating our COVID-19 misleading information policy depend on the severity and type of the violation and the account’s history of previous violations. In instances where accounts repeatedly violate this policy, we will use a strike system to determine if further enforcement actions should be applied.”

Strike 1 is “no account-level action.” Strike 2 results in a 12-hour account lock. Strike 3 results in another 12-hour account lock. Strike 4 results in a seven-day account lock and five or more strikes lead to permanent suspension.

Plaintiffs claim they relied on Twitter to employ and enforce its terms in good faith and it was foreseeable to Twitter that plaintiffs would rely on the terms the company is obligated to follow.

According to the complaint, a “truthful tweet regarding COVID-19 policy, diagnosis and/or treatment” would not violate Twitter’s terms of service, community standards, content moderation policies or misinformation guidelines.

“None of these physicians posted false or misleading information, nor did they receive five strikes before suspension,” Matthew Tyson stated in his letter to Twitter.

“It’s no accident that Twitter violated its own COVID-19 misinformation guidelines and suspended the accounts of Drs. Zelenko, Malone, Fareed, Tyson and McCullough,” he wrote.

The letter stated:

“Twitter received express and implied threats from government officials to censor certain viewpoints and speakers, lest Twitter face the amendment or revocation of Section 230, or antitrust enforcement. This was a financial decision for Twitter.

“For the sake of profits, it chose to abandon its role as a neutral internet service provider and instead openly and intentionally collude with government to silence lawful speech.”

In an email to The Defender, lead attorney Garrie and co-counsel Matthew Tyson said:

“In this political climate, honesty is a rare commodity, and concerns over new and experimental vaccines and drug therapies and the safety and effectiveness of alternative outpatient treatments should be the subject of full and transparent public debate.

“Drs. Malone, Tyson and McCullough are highly qualified and credentialed physicians and scientists who posted truthful information on Twitter that contradicted the mainstream narrative regarding COVID-19 policy, diagnosis, and treatment.

“They shared fact-based information which furthered an important public interest as people around the world try to decide how to treat themselves and their loved ones for COVID-19. Twitter silenced them.

“Our clients seek to hold Twitter liable not as a Section 230 publisher, but as a counterparty to a contract, as a promisor who has breached the very terms it put in place to moderate tweets. We will hold Twitter accountable in court and prove the truth of our clients’ statements for the world to see.”

Twitter Refused to Verify Physicians’ Accounts

In addition to being suspended from Twitter, the company refused to verify the plaintiffs’ accounts even though the accounts met Twitter’s criteria for verification.

To be verified, an account must be “notable and active.”

Twitter defines a notable account to include “activists, organizers, and other influential individuals,” including “prominently recognized individuals.”

According to the complaint, Malone is an “internationally recognized scientist and physician” who completed a fellowship at Harvard Medical School as a global clinical research scholar and was scientifically trained at the University of California and Salk Institute Molecular Biology and Virology laboratories.

Malone is the “original inventor of mRNA vaccination technology, DNA vaccination and multiple non-viral DNA and RNA/mRNA platform delivery technologies,” and has “roughly 100 scientific publications, which have been cited more than 12,000 times.”

He holds an “outstanding” impact factor rating on Google Scholar and sits as a non-voting member on the National Institutes of Health [Accelerating COVID-19 Therapeutic Interventions and Vaccines] committee, which is tasked with managing clinical research for a variety of drug and antibody treatments for COVID-19.

The complaint states Malone used his Twitter account to post truthful statements regarding COVID-19 policy, diagnosis and/or treatment. He received no strikes for his content and he did not violate Twitter’s rules, yet his account was permanently suspended.

McCullough, according to the complaint, is a highly accomplished physician who is the founder and current president of the Cardiorenal Society of America.

He has been “published more than 1,000 times, made presentations on the advancement of medicine across the world and has been an invited lecturer at the New York Academy of Sciences, the National Institutes of Health, U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency.”

McCullough has also served on the editorial boards of multiple specialty journals and was a member or chair of data safety monitoring boards of 24 randomized clinical trials.

He was a “leader in the medical response to COVID-19, has more than 30 peer-reviewed publications on the infection, and has commented and testified extensively on COVID19 treatment, including before the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs,” the lawsuit states.

McCullough’s account was suspended, but Twitter allowed him to create a new account that is followed by more than 480,000 people. Yet, he is still unable to receive a “verified” badge.

In a June 28 tweet, McCullough said “trouble is on the horizon for the “common carrier” whose only role is to provide a platform for communications operations,” referring to the lawsuit.

Tyson is a licensed physician with15 years of hospital and emergency medicine experience. He practices with Dr. George Fareed, who also was suspended from Twitter for posting what he claimed was truthful COVID-19 information.

Tyson and Fareed have “gained international recognition for providing successful early treatment to more than 10,000 COVID-19 patients, with zero patient deaths when treatment was started within 7 days,” the complaint states.

Tyson testified in various proceedings about early treatment protocols and co-authored a book about COVID-19.

He also ran as a candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives for California’s 25th Congressional District, yet was not deemed a “notable figure of public interest” regarding COVID-19 policy, diagnosis and/or treatment, which prohibited him from obtaining a “verified” badge on Twitter.

Tyson says he posted only truthful statements about COVID-19 policy, diagnosis and/or treatment with his account, and none of his tweets were classified as a “strike” or violated Twitter’s terms of service.

Like Malone’s, Tyson’s and Fareed’s accounts were permanently suspended.

“In a nutshell, these are five [physicians] of the most knowledgeable and helpful voices in the world regarding COVID-19 treatment,” Matthew Tyson wrote in his letter. “Disturbingly, Twitter silenced all of them.”

COVID-19 misinformation bolsters anti-vaccine movement

COVID-19 misinformation bolsters anti-vaccine movement
July 4, 2022

More parents are questioning the necessity of routine vaccinations for young children. Adults are skipping shots as well, even for vaccines with a long safety record.

The trend comes amid a wave of misinformation and disinformation about COVID-19 and the vaccines that helped to stem pandemic deaths. Politicization of the COVID-19 shots has bolstered the anti-vaccine movement, contributing to the decline in routine immunizations for measles, polio and other dangerous diseases.

"They ask if these are truly necessary, or if we can give them at later times," said Jason Terk, a Texas pediatrician and spokesperson for the American Academy of Pediatrics.

"This is not the majority of parents, but we are seeing a higher number."

The anti-vaccine movement has mushroomed as its messages on social media are amplified by conservative political figures as well as foreign influence operations, whose vaccine disinformation efforts pre-date the pandemic.

With routine immunization rates falling, concerns are growing about a resurgence of diseases which had largely been eradicated in many parts of the world.

In the United States, the percentage of kindergarten children with recommended immunizations fell a percentage point to 94 percent in the 2020-21 school year, representing some 35,000 children unvaccinated.

"I refer to it as the parallel contagion," Terk said. "This seems to have at its origin hesitancy in COVID-19 vaccinations and increasing distrust of vaccines and the bodies we've relied on to keep us healthy and well."

Dramatic changes were seen in some states, especially during the height of the pandemic: researchers found a 47 percent drop in immunization rates in Texas among five-month-olds and a 58 percent decline for 16-month-olds between 2019 and 2020.

The researchers, writing in the scientific journal Vaccine, said the declines resulted from shelter-in-place restrictions and vaccine exemptions, but also to "an aggressive anti-vaccine movement in Texas."

Washington state reported a 13 percent decline in childhood immunization rates in 2021 compared with pre-pandemic levels and Michigan's vaccination rate for toddlers fell last year to 69.9 percent, the lowest in a decade.

Adults too

Adult and adolescent inoculation rates have also dropped for vaccines protecting against diseases such as influenza, hepatitis, measles, tetanus and shingles, according to health consultancy Avalere, which analyzes insurer claims.

This has led to an estimated 37 million missed vaccination doses from January 2020 to July 2021 for adults and children ages seven and older, Avalere found.

Declines early in the pandemic can be attributed to shelter-in-place orders and social distancing, but "there is a risk of a bleed-over" of COVID vaccine misinformation, which affects other vaccines which have a longstanding safety record, noted Avalere managing director Jason Hall.

Social media have helped create a coalition that includes true anti-vaccine believers, libertarians and conservative political figures. These segments have been amplified by disinformation actors from Russia and elsewhere, said David Broniatowski, a George Washington University professor and associate director of the school's Institute for Data, Democracy and Politics.

"People have been opposing vaccines for as long as there have been vaccines, but they've gotten more sophisticated over the past 10 years and a lot of that has been because of the ability to organize on social media across boundaries," said Broniatowski, who researches vaccine disinformation.

He noted that while anti-vaccine activists, libertarians and foreign agents are not necessarily coordinating, "they have found common cause" in opposing vaccine mandates.

"One of the main changes we've seen is a pivot away from focusing on vaccines per se as a health issue to a civil rights and a political issue," he added.

Conspiracy theories have surged during the pandemic, according to a 2021 YouGov poll, which found 28 percent of Americans and significant numbers in other countries say the truth about the harmful effects of vaccines is being "deliberately hidden."

Foreign actors

Broniatowski said that foreign disinformation agents "use vaccines as a wedge issue that can mobilize a segment of the population."

A 2018 paper co-authored by Broniatowski in the American Journal of Public Health found anti-vaccine Twitter activity was amplified by Russian trolls from 2014 to 2017 as part of an effort to promote discord and undermine confidence in the health system.

Research from the Center for European Policy Analysis showed both China and Russia have promoted COVID-19 vaccine misinformation, in part to show that Western governments are incompetent and can't be trusted.

"There's been a concerted effort on the part of these actors to diminish the standing of science because it serves their political purposes," Broniatowski said.

The problem is growing globally as well. A United Nations report last year found 23 million children worldwide missed out on routine immunizations in 2020. In the Americas region, the percentage of fully inoculated children fell to 82 percent from 91 percent in 2016 due to factors including funding shortfalls, vaccine misinformation and instability.

This is likely to create more health risks down the road from diseases which have been mostly contained.

"We had certain thresholds of protection to keep these diseases from being relevant from a public health point of view," Terk said.

"The more people pushing back, the more likely we'll have pockets of vulnerability."

Molecular mimicry of SARS-nCoV-2 spike to human proteins including thrombopoietin and TLR-8

High autoimmune potential shown via cross-reacting antibodies.

Molecular mimicry of SARS-nCoV-2 spike to human proteins including thrombopoietin and TLR-8
High autoimmune potential shown via cross-reacting antibodies.
Jessica Rose
20 hr ago

Please refer to the paper entitled: “Potential Autoimmunity Resulting from Molecular Mimicry between SARS-CoV-2 Spike and Human Proteins” published June 28, 2022 in Viruses.1

This was brought to my attention via an article I posted yesterday. They found the following.

We discovered molecular mimicry hotspots in Spike and highlight two examples with tentative high autoimmune potential and implications for understanding COVID-19 complications. We show that a TQLPP motif in Spike and thrombopoietin shares similar antibody binding properties. Antibodies cross-reacting with thrombopoietin may induce thrombocytopenia, a condition observed in COVID-19 patients.​

Figure 1: A photomicrograph of the blood showing thrombocytopenia. Thrombocytopenia - Wikipedia

Thrombocytopenia is a coagulation disorder characterized by abnormally low levels of platelets. Thrombopoietin (TBO) regulates the production of platelets.2 3 The autoantibodies bind TBO to block binding to TBO receptors and subsequently inhibit platelet production. Interestingly, heparin-induced thrombocytopenia is the most common drug-induced, antibody-mediated thrombocytopenic disorder.4

The authors summarize a list of motifs that share this potential for induction of autoimmunity from other proteins. There are a total of 16 human proteins identified as 3D mimics based on an RMSD (Root Mean Square Deviation - small differences between values) of at most 1 Å (Ångstrom) listed in Table 1. Of these is thrombopoietin - a regulator of platelet production, and Toll-Like Receptor 8 (TLR-8). TLR-8 is a receptor that recognizes single stranded RNA (ssRNA) and when it does, it recruits MyD88 and leads to activation of the transcription factor NF-κB (DNA transcription) to initiate an antiviral response. TLR-8 recognizes ssRNA viruses such as HIV and HCV, and since coronaviruses are also ssRNA viruses, it likely recognizes them too.5 It is also interesting to note that TLR-8 expression levels are also significantly elevated in individuals with severe and critical COVID-19.6 This implies that cross-reactivity, if possible, would be more likely to ensue.


Figure 2: 3D-mimics found for SARS-nCoV-2 spike. Table 1 from paper.

These are alarming findings, but I think I can add to the alarm, if I am correct that is. One of the motifs implicated in autoimmune reactions via molecular mimicry found in SARS-nCoV-2 and human thrombopoietin, namely: TQLPP, is not found in SARS-nCoV. Now, where have I heard this kind of story before? Furin cleavage site? Other inserts? Hmm.

One of the clinical manifestations of SRAS-nCoV-2 that appears distinct from SARS-nCoV is this bleeding/clotting/vascular component. What if the antibodies generated against this motif in the spike protein of SARS-nCoV-2 are going after human thrombopoietin and via cross-reactivity inducing down-stream signaling to activate platelet production?

The implications of this are quite staggering because it is highly unlikely (some genius out there can calculate the likelihood - ahem: Jikky (his fan account got erased from Twitter today again)) that this motif would ‘arise’ in the SARS-nCoV-2 version ‘naturally’. It’s another brickky in the wall. In my opinion, it’s statistically impossible for all of these unique SARS-nCoV-2 motifs to naturally arise.


Figure 3: X-ray crystal structure of SARS-nCoV-2 spike protein with TQLPP motif highlighted in yellow spheres. RCSB PDB - 7CWM: Complex of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and Fab P17 with one RBD in open state and two RBD in closed state


Figure 4: X-ray crystal structure of SARS-nCoV-2 spike protein with TQLPP motif highlighted in yellow spheres aligned with X-ray crystal structure of SARS-nCoV lacking this motif. https://www.rcsb.org/structure/7CWM; RCSB PDB - 5X58: Prefusion structure of SARS-CoV spike glycoprotein, conformation 1

Basically, this is further evidence that the original SARS-nCoV-2 was constructed, and it was constructed by very intelligent people. They must have known that this molecular mimicry was possible and the implications of autoimmune responses. We are seeing ITP, TTP and all sorts of thrombocytopenias in VAERS and in life.


Figure 5: VAERS reports of thrombocytopenia as of July 1, 2022 normalized to CDC age-stratified dose 1 data.

By the way, there’s also this.7

Results:

SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein was found to share 41 minimal immune determinants, that is, pentapeptides, with 27 human proteins that relate to oogenesis, uterine receptivity, decidualization, and placentation. All the shared pentapeptides that we identified, with the exception of four, are also present in SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein-derived epitopes that have been experimentally validated as immunoreactive.​

We’re really up the creek without a paddle on this one.

We know that all these shots do, all that is accomplished, is they amp up vaccinal antibodies that wane near instantly, and that original antigenic sin in play means you are recalling antibodies to the initial Wuhan legacy strain as this is the content of the vaccine and not the dominant circulating variant e.g. OMI BA.5 etc. So you are getting in Canada a vaccine that is worthless and we have shown how it is damaging the natural and acquired-adaptive immune system. We know that the vaccinal antibodies are non-neutralizing and as such do not sterilize the virus and eliminate it and as such you cannot cut the chain of transmission. You can never ever get to herd immunity (protection of those with weaker immune systems and who cannot take the vaccine) with these non-neutralizing vaccines. We know that the vaccinal antibodies bind to the virus’s spike and facilitates infection to the vaccinated (antibody dependent enhancement of infection (ADEI) and soon of disease (ADED), in so doing blocking the functionally potent innate antibodies from binding.

So in effect Canada is phucked with this insanity and as I have always said, when we get back to a proper government and we can get proper public inquiries, proper, for both sides, we take this guy, and all his health ministers and all his advisors into a proper court room and examine each decision like this one. From day 1, including the lockdown lunacy. If they were proper, we praise, we hug. If it is shown their decisions were reckless and not science based, and costed lives, caused people to die like many police officers and military who are at risk of future death from these shots, then we impose maximal financial penalties and clean them out of every cent and we imprison them! The public health officials doing this know the wrongs they are doing!

Boosters? Every Nine Months? Go **** Yourself!
I mean, no thank you.
Sheldon Yakiwchuk
8 hr ago

Welp, I wanted to be wrong about this…we all wanted to be wrong about this and yet, here we are.

While the recommendations are to get a Jab every 6 Months, you will be required to get one every 9 months, in the off chance that you catch COVID in between Jabs.

I can’t even believe that these mother****ers can say this with a straight face and try to support it through the guise of Medical Advice…If you get COVID, you may want to just wait a little longer.

What is this going to mean?

They 100% are going to try to run this passport bullshit again…for travel, social outings, federal jobs, Employment Insurance…we’re back to September of 2021!

How’s this been working out so far?

Welp, some of those who were just jabbed here for their 4th and 5th doses:



Are already showing up here:



As cases, hospitalizations and mortalities from COVID…the thing that was supposed to be reduced by getting the jabs in the first place.

Surely there will be a lot more who will be resistant and reluctant…given the current economy, rate of inflation and gas prices skyrocketing…how many will actually have a choice.

This isn’t just about - I’m going to take the vaccines so I can travel.

This will be 100% about, I need to feed my family.

But now that most provinces have thinned out their data and now that Health Canada has removed the above chart, it’s going to be harder to mount a strong case without data support.

It’s going get pretty scary, folks.

But for me, at least for now…I have refused to be tested and refused even my first dose and have absolutely ZERO plans to get in line now.

What about you?

Doctors are mystified by a rash of seizures, rashes, etc. happening to 2 and 3-year-old kids.

The only thing these kids have in common is that they were given the COVID vaccine just days earlier (two to five days earlier).

The doctors cannot figure out what is causing the seizures (since it couldn’t be the vaccine since those are safe and effective). The medical staff is not permitted to talk about the cases to the press or on social media or they will be fired.

One nurse posted something to the effect of “how is this legal????” I had to paraphrase to protect the poster.

This is why you are hearing these reports from me. They can’t fire me.

There is nothing on the mainstream media about this since the nurses and doctors aren’t allowed to talk about it.

This will all come out some day, but for now, everyone is keeping quiet about it and the doctors are instructed to convince the parents that it isn’t vaccine related and that they are the only ones having the problem.

Because that’s how science works.

BA.2.75 — new Covid variant detected in India a mystery, but could ‘have immune-escape property’

Mohana Basu
3 July, 2022 11:30 am IST

New Delhi: Scientists across the world have flagged the emergence of a new coronavirus variant in India, the BA.2.75, which is said to be cropping up increasingly in samples, and may have an increased ability to infect people who have been infected before, as well as those who are vaccinated.

BA.2.75 is a sub-lineage of the Omicron variant. Sub-lineages of Omicron have become the dominant variants circulating across the globe, with new mutations continuously evolving.

At least 23 samples of the BA.2.75 variant have been detected in India so far, in Maharashtra, Karnataka and Jammu & Kashmir, according to the data uploaded on Nextstrain, an open-source platform of genomic data.

Worldwide, just about 37 samples of the variant have been detected, including in Australia, Germany, Canada and New Zealand, according to the Nextstrain data.

There has been no official communication about the variant from the Indian government, or the Indian SARS-CoV-2 Genomics Consortium (INSACOG), a genomic surveillance agency functioning under the health ministry. However, independent scientists from many parts of the world have flagged BA.2.75 on various online platforms, pointing out that the accumulation of different mutations on the spike protein of this variant is a cause for concern.

Thomas Peacock, a scientist at Imperial College London, in a Twitter thread said that the variant is worth “keeping a close eye” on.

Surveillence minded folks – worth keeping a close eye on BA.2.75 – lots of spike mutations, probable second generation variant, apparent rapid growth and wide geographical spread…BA.2 sublineage with S:K147E, W152R, F157L, I210V, G257S, D339H, G446S, N460K, R493Q (73 seq as of 2022-06-29, mainly India) · Issue #773 · cov-lineages/pango-designation​

— Tom Peacock (@PeacockFlu) June 30, 2022​

A senior genomic scientist in India, who did not wish to be named, told ThePrint that the majority of the samples of the variant have been detected in India.

Lipi Thukral, a scientist at the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research-Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology (CSIR-IGIB) in Delhi, told ThePrint: “This lineage may require urgent attention as most of the mutations are unique and [it] has also changed its physiochemical character quite a lot.”

Thukral explained that there are nine mutations on critical interfaces of the coronavirus, or SARS-CoV-2, including five changes in what is known as the N‐terminal domain of the spike protein. The N-terminal domain plays an important role in the virus attaching itself to the host cell, and is a valuable target for neutralising antibodies.

Meanwhile, there are four mutations in the receptor binding domain region, which interacts with the ACE2 receptor in the host, Thukral said. The ACE2 is an enzyme that acts as the receptor for the SARS-CoV-2 virus and allows it to infect host cells.

Why is this variant expected to infect vaccinated people?

The BA.2.75 variant includes new mutations in the spike protein, in addition to the mutations that are already present in the Omicron variant, explained the Indian genomic scientist quoted earlier. Spike proteins are the protrusions seen on the outer surface of the novel coronavirus.

Of particular concern, said the scientist, are the mutations ‘G446S’ and ‘R493Q’, both of which are associated with significant changes in the protein structure of the spike protein, with the potential to give the variant the ability to evade several antibodies.

As a result, the variant is expected to infect people who have been vaccinated, or have been infected previously.

However, currently, there is a lack of data on how fast the infection from this particular variant is spreading, owing to insufficient surveillance. There is also not enough data currently to ascertain if the variant has the potential to cause severe infection.

But according to the scientists who have been discussing the BA.2.75 on various forums, the variant is unlikely to cause severe infection, since G446S is also better recognised by vaccine-induced T-Cells — a type of white blood cell that helps recognise and target pathogens in the body.

3 new BA.2 variants found, may have role in ongoing surge: Experts
Umesh Isalkar / TNN / Updated: Jul 4, 2022, 04:44 IST

PUNE: Three new and highly transmissible "offspring" of Omicron's BA.2 subvariant have been detected in India.

BA.2.74, BA.2.75 and BA.2.76 are "fitter" and more infectious than Omicron's BA.5, a senior scientist from the Indian SARS-CoV-2 Genomics Consortium (INSACOG) told TOI on Sunday, adding that they may be behind the ongoing surge in cases along with BA.2.38, which was identified in mid-June.

Over the last 10 days, some 298 cases of BA.2.76 have been identified in India, followed by 216 cases of BA.2.74 and 46 cases of BA.2.75, as per the open-source database Global Initiative on Sharing All Influenza Data.

And from the three, scientists have flagged BA.2.75 for special attention, due to certain mutations that let it dodge antibodies and attach itself better to human cells. BA.2.75 is also spreading in the United States, Canada and Japan.

Notably, this subvariant was identified and named by the international community based on investigations into BA.2 by Indian scientists from three states - Maharashtra, Karnataka and Jammu and Kashmir.

Scientist said close tracking by INSACOG led to its (BA.2.75's) detection.

"We looked into how BA.2, which mainly triggered the third wave in January, was still causing breakthroughs and reinfections in June. That led to the finding of BA.2.75, which has more than 80 mutations, while BA.2 has about 60. Now, when we re-run old BA.2 samples for these newly identified mutations, we are finding BA.2.74, BA.75 and BA.2.76," the INSACOG scientist said.

The three new subvariants offer key insight into SARS-CoV-2's evolution.

The INSACOG scientist said, "These new offspring of BA.2 have just displaced the immunodominant antigen of BA.2 (against which we have developed protection) to become more fitter and infectious. This explains the reason behind breakthroughs and reinfection cases of BA.2 in India. Luckily, they are the offspring of BA.2, against which we have some kind of cross-protection and T cell immunity, due to the third wave."

Scientists in India have also not found many cases of BA.4 or BA.5. So far, BA.4 and BA.5 cases have been fewer than 100 in the country. "So, international scientists also now believe that BA.2.75, BA.2.74 and BA.2.76 likely caused India's ongoing Covid19 surge. When we ran old BA.2 samples, we found BA.2.74 and BA.2.75 and their newly identified unique mutation profile, which had not been sequenced till recently," said a scientist from the Department of Biotechnology.

What do we know about the latest Omicron subvariant BA.2.75?
4:22 pm today

A new Omicron subvariant which has been circulating in India has been detected in New Zealand for the first time.

The Ministry of Health's latest statement said genome sequencing on Friday confirmed two cases of BA.2.75 in people who had travelled recently from India.

"BA.2.75 is a recently identified second generation subvariant of BA.2, the dominant variant circulating in New Zealand at this stage," the ministry said.

The variant has only recently been identified as separate from BA.2 and its transmissibility, severity and ability to evade immunity was still being assessed, the ministry said.

A new wave of Covid-19 is building as yet another variant - BA.5 - spreads around the country - it is expected to overtake the dominant BA.2 strain within weeks.

How contagious and how dangerous is BA.2.75?

Early evidence from overseas suggested the new 2.75 subvariant had some characteristics that may enhance its ability to evade immunity similar to the BA.4 and BA.4 subvariants and BA.2.75 may be more transmissible than BA.2, the Ministry of Health said.

"There is no current evidence that it leads to more severe disease, although assessing the evidence is at a very early stage," the ministry said.

The Seattle-based Bloom Lab which studies the molecular evolution of proteins and viruses said in a tweet that BA.2.75 was "worth tracking", as it had "appreciable antigenic change" compared to its parent variant BA.2.

It said there were two key mutations - G446S and R493Q.

This new #SARSCoV2 Omicron subvariant (BA.2.75) flagged here by @PeacockFlu is worth tracking, as it has appreciable antigenic change relative to its parent BA.2. Key mutations: G446S & R493Q​

​

Here is summary of what those mutations imply for antibody escape & ACE2 affinity (1/n) https://t.co/88XYhGc7V9​

— Bloom Lab (@jbloom_lab) June 30, 2022​

Shahid Jameel, senior research fellow at Green Templeton College in Oxford University, told Business Standard that he believed G446S was was one of the likely sites of escape from antibodies made by current vaccines that still neutralised BA.2. This would increase the chance of infection even in people who have so far been protected against Omicron, he said.

Indian microbiologist Dr Rajesh Karyakarte told Indian Express that "BA.2.75 has a distinct growth advantage over BA.4 or BA.5".

But there was no evidence to indicate that the variant caused a more severe form of infection, he said.

The Ministry of Health said it regularly assesses evidence on the latest variants and at this stage there was no evidence that BA.2.75 required a shift in public health settings already in place to manage Omicron.

How widespread is BA.2.75

The Times of India yesterday reported that BA.2.75 had been detected in about 10 states in India.

However it said the Indian Health Ministry and the genomic surveillance organisation, Indian SARS-CoV-2 Genomics Consortium, were yet to officially confirm the detection of the subvariant in India.

Outside of India, BA.2.75 cases have now been detected in New Zealand, Australia, Canada and Germany.

Melbourne-based data integration specialist Mike Honey said BA.2.75 was an "evolutionary jump" from BA.2.

It was prevalent in India where it had a very high growth advantage of 16 percent per day above other Omicron BA.2 lineages, Honey tweeted.

Here's the latest picture for the new BA.2.75 sub-lineage (nickname: "Centaurus") - an evolutionary jump from BA.2.​

​

It has most commonly been detected in India, showing extremely rapid growth to 18% of recent samples.​

​

It is also spreading rapidly to other countries.​

BA.2.75 — new Covid variant detected in India a mystery, but could ‘have immune-escape property’

This Omicron sub-lineage may have increased ability to infect people who’ve been infected before, or are vaccinated, according to some scientists. However, there's no govt data on this.

New Delhi: Scientists across the world have flagged the emergence of a new coronavirus variant in India, the BA.2.75, which is said to be cropping up increasingly in samples, and may have an increased ability to infect people who have been infected before, as well as those who are vaccinated.

BA.2.75 is a sub-lineage of the Omicron variant. Sub-lineages of Omicron have become the dominant variants circulating across the globe, with new mutations continuously evolving.

At least 23 samples of the BA.2.75 variant have been detected in India so far, in Maharashtra, Karnataka and Jammu & Kashmir, according to the data uploaded on Nextstrain, an open-source platform of genomic data.

Worldwide, just about 37 samples of the variant have been detected, including in Australia, Germany, Canada and New Zealand, according to the Nextstrain data.

There has been no official communication about the variant from the Indian government, or the Indian SARS-CoV-2 Genomics Consortium (INSACOG), a genomic surveillance agency functioning under the health ministry. However, independent scientists from many parts of the world have flagged BA.2.75 on various online platforms, pointing out that the accumulation of different mutations on the spike protein of this variant is a cause for concern.

Thomas Peacock, a scientist at Imperial College London, in a Twitter thread said that the variant is worth “keeping a close eye” on.

Surveillence minded folks – worth keeping a close eye on BA.2.75 – lots of spike mutations, probable second generation variant, apparent rapid growth and wide geographical spread…BA.2 sublineage with S:K147E, W152R, F157L, I210V, G257S, D339H, G446S, N460K, R493Q (73 seq as of 2022-06-29, mainly India) · Issue #773 · cov-lineages/pango-designation​

— Tom Peacock (@PeacockFlu) June 30, 2022​

A senior genomic scientist in India, who did not wish to be named, told ThePrint that the majority of the samples of the variant have been detected in India.

Lipi Thukral, a scientist at the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research-Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology (CSIR-IGIB) in Delhi, told ThePrint: “This lineage may require urgent attention as most of the mutations are unique and [it] has also changed its physiochemical character quite a lot.”

Thukral explained that there are nine mutations on critical interfaces of the coronavirus, or SARS-CoV-2, including five changes in what is known as the N‐terminal domain of the spike protein. The N-terminal domain plays an important role in the virus attaching itself to the host cell, and is a valuable target for neutralising antibodies.

Meanwhile, there are four mutations in the receptor binding domain region, which interacts with the ACE2 receptor in the host, Thukral said. The ACE2 is an enzyme that acts as the receptor for the SARS-CoV-2 virus and allows it to infect host cells.

Why is this variant expected to infect vaccinated people?

The BA.2.75 variant includes new mutations in the spike protein, in addition to the mutations that are already present in the Omicron variant, explained the Indian genomic scientist quoted earlier. Spike proteins are the protrusions seen on the outer surface of the novel coronavirus.

Of particular concern, said the scientist, are the mutations ‘G446S’ and ‘R493Q’, both of which are associated with significant changes in the protein structure of the spike protein, with the potential to give the variant the ability to evade several antibodies.

As a result, the variant is expected to infect people who have been vaccinated, or have been infected previously.

However, currently, there is a lack of data on how fast the infection from this particular variant is spreading, owing to insufficient surveillance. There is also not enough data currently to ascertain if the variant has the potential to cause severe infection.

But according to the scientists who have been discussing the BA.2.75 on various forums, the variant is unlikely to cause severe infection, since G446S is also better recognised by vaccine-induced T-Cells — a type of white blood cell that helps recognise and target pathogens in the body.

Maybe this variant in India isn’t the killer. Maybe the variant that collapses the healthcare system is still incubating.

Two and 3-year-old kids with seizures is "the new normal"

I'm getting multiple reports from my nurse friends about kids 2 and 3 years old having seizures. It is ONLY happening on vaccinated kids, and symptoms start 2 to 5 days after the COVID vaccine.

Doctors are mystified by a rash of seizures, rashes, etc. happening to 2 and 3-year-old kids.

The only thing these kids have in common is that they were given the COVID vaccine just days earlier (two to five days earlier).

The doctors cannot figure out what is causing the seizures (since it couldn’t be the vaccine since those are safe and effective). The medical staff is not permitted to talk about the cases to the press or on social media or they will be fired.

One nurse posted something to the effect of “how is this legal????” I had to paraphrase to protect the poster.

This is why you are hearing these reports from me. They can’t fire me.

There is nothing on the mainstream media about this since the nurses and doctors aren’t allowed to talk about it.

This will all come out some day, but for now, everyone is keeping quiet about it and the doctors are instructed to convince the parents that it isn’t vaccine related and that they are the only ones having the problem.

Because that’s how science works.

Yanno, I really think that Steve is fighting the good and Just fight - and I hope someone in the right position is vetting his statements and sources; as confirmation would help lead to breaking the story open.

Still keeping an eye on it. There are other new strains popping up too so we won't know until it happens. But Geert is more sure than ever that it will so I'm not letting my guard down.

I agree. Steve is reliable, he's not a woo poster. He says the people reporting this to him are friends. If he means friends he's known for a long time, before covid, etc then I think they are reliable reporters and he's right to bring the story out. If he's calling anyone who emails him 'friends', then he should be vetting them before posting their reports, which I hope he did.

These reports are horrific and if it's happening in other places as well, I hope the nurses, doctors and parents have the courage to come forward to the MSM and get this widely circulated to warn other parents.

Unfortunately, coming forward to the MSM is almost by definition a non-starter.

I do hope that the word gets out somehow.

CDC: Mask-wearing recommended in growing number of counties
today

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — People in 24 Oregon counties — including the county around Portland — and 15 counties in Washington state should resume mask-wearing indoors in public and on public transportation, according to recommendations from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Data from the CDC shows the counties are considered high risk for COVID-19 infection, KPTV reported. The Oregon counties include: Clatsop, Tillamook, Lincoln, Lane, Douglas, Josephine, Jackson, Klamath, Lake, Deschutes, Crook, Jefferson, Wasco, Sherman, Hood River, Clackamas, Washington, Multnomah, Morrow, Umatilla, Union, Wallowa, Baker, and Malheur counties.

In Washington, the counties at high risk include: Clallam, Grays Harbor, Pacific, Lewis, Thurston, Pierce, Chelan, Douglas, Grant, Walla Walla, Columbia, Asotin, Lincoln, Ferry and Spokane. That’s an increase from six Washington counties at high risk as of June 23.

The most recent community levels were calculated June 30.

High risk means the counties have had 200 or more new COVID-19 cases per 100,000 people in the last seven days, or they’ve had more than 20 new COVID-19 hospital admissions per 100,000 people within a seven-day period.

Dr. Jeff Duchin, health officer at Public Health – Seattle & King County, said on Twitter Sunday that since April, the health agency has recommended that people wear high-quality masks in indoor public spaces, that people get all recommended COVID-19 vaccines and booster doses, and that indoor air quality should be improved and outdoor venues be prioritized.Coronavirus Pandemic: COVID-19 Pandemic News | AP News

Duchin said vaccines are working well to halt hospitalizations and death but infections and reinfections are more common with the new variants. The virus has evolved to be more contagious.

Emerging research suggests reinfections could put people at higher risk for health problems.

Unvaccinated people have a six times higher risk of dying from COVID-19 compared with people with at least a primary series of shots, the CDC estimated based on available data from April.

Canada to throw out 13.6M doses of AstraZeneca vaccine
today

OTTAWA (AP) — Canada is going to throw out about 13.6 million doses of the Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine because it couldn’t find any takers for it either at home or abroad.

Canada signed a contract with AstraZeneca in 2020 to get 20 million doses of its vaccine, and 2.3 million Canadians received at least one dose of it, mostly between March and June 2021.

Following concerns in the spring of 2021 about rare but potentially fatal blood clots from AstraZeneca, Canada focused on using its ample supplies of the mRNA vaccines from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna.

In July 2021, Canada promised to donate the rest of its procured supply, about 17.7 million doses. But in a statement Tuesday, Health Canada said that despite efforts to meet that pledge, 13.6 million doses have expired and will have to be thrown out.

``Due to limited demand for the vaccine and recipient country challenges with distribution and absorption, they were not accepted,″ the statement said.

In all, Canada donated 8.9 million doses of AstraZeneca vaccine — 4.8 millon doses from its main supply and 4.1 million doses that it bought from the COVAX vaccine-sharing program.

About 85% of Canadians are considered fully vaccinated, compared with 61% of the world’s population, and just 16% of people living in the world’s poorest countries.

NC court: Restaurants can't get insurance payouts for virus

NC court: Restaurants can’t get insurance payouts for virus
yesterday

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Over a dozen North Carolina restaurants that closed during the coronavirus pandemic when government orders restricted their services can’t be recompensed for those financial losses through their commercial insurance policies, the state Court of Appeals ruled on Tuesday.

The unanimous ruling by a three-judge panel reverses an October 2020 decision by Superior Court Judge Orlando Hudson in Durham County. He declared the language in the restaurant owners’ policies provided coverage for lost business income and extra expenses when government orders limited the access to and use of their eateries. Gov. Roy Cooper first issued a statewide order in March 2020 limiting sales to carry-out and delivery services only. Most of the restaurants that sued were located in the Triangle area.

Court of Appeals Judge Chris Dillon, writing Tuesday’s opinion, said the panel agreed with the insurers who argued the governmental restrictions didn’t result in “direct physical loss or damage to the property” that are required for payouts. Dillon cited a 1997 state court ruling, as well as recent decisions by the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals involving business interruptions caused by COVID-19 orders.

The restaurants’ “desired definition of ‘physical loss’ as a general ‘loss of use’ is not supported by our case law or the unambiguous language in the policies,” the opinion reads. Judges Toby Hampson and April Wood joined in Tuesday’s decision. Since the ruling was unanimous, the state Supreme Court wouldn’t be obligated to hear the case if the restaurant owners sought an appeal.

Germany's CureVac files suit against vaccine rival BioNTech

Germany’s CureVac files suit against vaccine rival BioNTech
yesterday

BERLIN (AP) — German biotech company CureVac said Tuesday it has filed a patent infringement lawsuit against rival BioNTech for work that it says contributed to the development of the BioNTech-Pfizer coronavirus vaccine. BioNTech said its work is original and it would “vigorously” contest the claim.

CureVac, which last year reported disappointing results from late-stage testing of its own first-generation COVID-19 shot, earlier this year started a clinical trial of a second-generation vaccine candidate developed with British pharmaceutical company GSK.

The company said it was seeking “fair compensation” from BioNTech for the alleged infringement, but it didn’t cite an amount.

CureVac said it would not pursue a court injunction and doesn’t “intend to take legal action that impedes the production, sale or distribution” by BioNTech and partner Pfizer of their successful Comirnaty vaccine.

Both CureVac and BioNTech have worked to develop the messenger RNA technology employed in their respective vaccines and potentially for other uses.

CureVac said it filed its suit against BioNTech and two subsidiaries at the state court in Duesseldorf. It asserted in a statement that its intellectual property portfolio “protects multiple inventions that are considered essential to the design and development of BioNTech’s SARS CoV-2 mRNA vaccine, among others.”

Those, it said, relate to the engineering of mRNA molecules, including sequence modifications to increase stability, and mRNA vaccine formulations specific to COVID-19 vaccines.

BioNTech said in a statement that it values and respects valid intellectual property rights, adding that its “work is original, and we will vigorously defend it against all allegations of patent infringement.”

“However, we are aware that it is not unusual that other companies in the pharmaceutical industry, having witnessed the success of Comirnaty, are now suggesting that the vaccine potentially infringes their intellectual property rights,” it said.
