Here in the US the CDC only says those who have had a severe allergic reaction to the flu vaccine in the past or who have a known severe allergy to any of the ingredients in the vaccine should avoid it. It does not say that people with severe allergies in general should avoid vaccination...

In rural towns & cities here in the US most folks have both. The few who don't could get it indoors. There is already wide spread drive-thru testing which has been successful.

Someone I follow on Twitter just posted this link to a UK government document (pdf) outlining the authorization, instructions for injection (with graphics), special warnings, etc for the Pfizer mRNA vaccine (aka: vaccine BNT162b2). It's full of information...

As someone with serious autoimmune disease (I take multiple immune suppressant medications) I have been 'isolating' insofar as I am not engaging in any indoor socializing, but I still go to the grocery store regularly, I go to doctor appointments, get my blood drawn at the hospital regularly...

Paul Bleicher who is an MD/PhD (Immunology/Microbiology), posted a Twitter thread regarding the AstraZeneca vaccine "accidental" dosing discovery and poses some interesting questions as to what it means and what happens next...

Are you aware of this? So they were making mistakes in the vaccine doses given to trial participants. Jeesh! Good thing it was a smaller dose and not a bigger dose, someone could have been harmed. (from Reuters) While skill and hard work drove development, AstraZeneca said it was a minor...

@Jonathan Edwards Professor Paul Knoepfler who is a stem cell scientist and science blogger (The Niche) recently wrote about the mRNA vaccines for Covid-19. The following excerpt got my attention.... "A possible wildcard with RNA vaccines their newness. Since we don’t know them that well...

Merged thread The New York Times has ran a story on Oct 30th (it's behind a paywall) about a new study in regards to Covid 'long haulers'. Below is the text of the NYT article..... Some Covid Survivors Have Antibodies That Attack the Body, not Virus ... The results were reported Friday on...

CDC shortens window of exposure for contact with Covid-19 patients "The updated guidance changes the definition of a "close contact" of a Covid-19 case to a person who has been within 6 feet of an infected person for a total of at least 15 minutes in a day. That includes multiple, but brief...

"Scientists have come to realize that flu vaccines are less effective for people who are overweight or obese. Considering that excess weight affects more than two-thirds of the U.S. adult population, that's a significant shortcoming."...

Yes it was discussed as a possibility in the beginning, but NZ authorities later said they had ruled it out as the culprit. This article below says that authorities at that time did not reveal any details about how or why it was ruled out but that they would release more info later in a report...

@mango In my small City (masks are required inside any business) I shop at the local natural health food store (a large store with plenty of room to distance) people are horrible about keeping at least 6' feet apart. Their customers tend to be educated, health conscious people and even they...

It seems that the suspicions discussed on here previously about cold storage have turned out to be true. "Chinese health authorities investigating a recent Covid-19 outbreak say they have discovered live coronavirus on frozen food packaging, a finding that suggests the virus can survive in cold...

Exactly. People seem to lose sight of the fact that SARS-Cov-2 and Covid-19 are separate things. The former being a virus and the latter being the disease it can cause. We don't need a vaccine that prevents SARS-Cov-2 infection we need one that prevents Covid-19. Perhaps later down the road...

I like how American psychologist and journalist Gary Greenberg puts it ---> ..... (he is) critical of cognitive behavioural therapy, which he calls “a method of indoctrination into the pieties of American optimism, an ideology as much as a medical treatment.”

Where I live in the pacific northwest a hospital has just had a huge outbreak... 60 employees and patients positive. Also the county I live in has just a had an outbreak among a few restaurants and their patrons which pushed our numbers up making us a 'high risk' county in terms of general risk...

thanks for the link to the twitter thread. This part is illuminating..... "One of the authors of this study (Philippe Gautret) is part of the editorial committee of the journal that accepted this publication. Without being a unique situation in the academic world, it seems to be a...

A user on YouTube has sent me this reply when I pointed out that the non-HCQ group was not age matched to the HCQ group. Here is what they said.... "The study controls for other variables which are statistically ruled out. HCQ works independent of the other variables. That is the whole point...

Dr. John Campbell released a video today in which he states that he is now convinced that Hydroxychloroquine is indeed an effective treatment for Covid-19. He has based his opinion on a large new study out of Belgium. In this large study hospitalized patients were given lower doses than those...
