My interview yesterday with Kristina Borjesson on all things Monkeypox

 https://tntradiolive.podbean.com/e/dr-meryl-nass-on-kristina-borjesson-show-31-july-2022/

Was monkeypox seeded in Nigeria 5 years ago in anticipation of a potential outbreak in the West?

Monkeypox reemerged in Nigeria in 2017 after disappearing for 39 years.

Now that's odd.

Here's a story from NPR.  I have left out the last part of the story, which is based on claims by Michael Worobey.  Worobey tried to cover up research into the origin of AIDS and more recently, the origin of COVID, so whatever he says about monkeypox should be examined under the lens of "why is he saying this?"

When Ogoina first diagnosed the young boy with monkeypox in 2017, Ogoina thought the virus would act the way it has for more than 50 years in other parts of Africa, the way that scientists described in textbooks. That is, outbreaks typically begin when a person comes into contact with an infected animal. "There was speculation that this young boy played with monkeys around the community," Ogoina says.

But in such instances, the virus didn't spread very easily between people because it was not very contagious, especially between adults. "[In the past], monkeypox affected mainly children," Ogoina says.

As a result, previous outbreaks of monkeypox have been small. They often involved only a few dozen cases. And they petered out on their own.

Ogoina and other doctors thought the outbreak in 2017 would be the same. "We thought, 'OK, this is the regular monkeypox that we know.' "

But a few weeks after diagnosing the young boy, Ogoina started to become concerned – quite concerned. The outbreak in Nigeria began to grow rapidly. Cases cropped up in counties not just near this one boy but all over. "Suddenly, we were seeing cases appear across the country," Ogoina says.

The virus seemed to be spreading further and faster than expected. And it wasn't infecting kids but rather men in their 20s and 30s. "Young, active men were getting monkeypox," Ogoina says. "It was very unusual at that time."

These men also didn't fit the typical profile for monkeypox patients. They weren't hunting or handling animals but instead were middle-class men, living in busy, modern cities. Ogoina wondered: "Why isn't it affecting children? Or females? Or the elderly? Why are we seeing only young men, ages 20 to 40?" (In fact, Ogoina and his colleague eventually figured out that the young boy didn't even catch the virus from an animal but rather from a male relative in his household.)

And the rashes that affected these patients weren't in the typical places where monkeypox struck. Instead of being on their face and extremities, the blisters occurred around their genitals. "They had very extensive genital lesions. Very, very extensive," Ogoina says.

Ogoina and his colleagues started to investigate these patients further. "We decided to do a sexual history assessment of some of the cases," he says. That assessment found that many of the patients had high-risk sexual behaviors, including multiple partners and sex with prostitutes.

So there was a huge realization: The virus had changed. For the first time, it was spreading through sexual contact. Ogoina and his colleagues even mentioned the idea in study published in 2019: "Although the role of sexual transmission of human monkeypox is not established, sexual transmission is plausible in some of these patients through close, skin-to-skin contact during sexual intercourse or by transmission via genital secretions," Ogoina and his colleagues wrote in the journal PLOS One.

Ogoina knew this shift in transmission had massive implications. It meant the monkeypox virus could more easily spread from person to person, that it no longer needed to jump from an animal into people. That it could possibly sustain human-to-human transmission in a way that it couldn't before. That meant the outbreak in Nigeria would be much more difficult to stop. It could possibly go on for years and eventually spill over into other countries. In many ways, the findings meant that monkeypox was no longer just a threat to communities in West and Central Africa but also a potential threat to the world.

Over the past few years, Ogoina says he has tried to warn health officials and scientists repeatedly that monkeypox had changed and was possibly spreading through sexual contact. At one international meeting, he tried to bring up the possibility of sexual transmission. Somebody told him to be quiet.

"Yes, someone told me that I should not say it. That I should not say sexual transmission is possible," Ogoina recalls with exasperation in his voice. "He told me, 'We should not worry about sexual transmission.' "

An outbreak that never ended

In 2017, Nigeria reported about 200 cases of monkeypox. And then all of a sudden, by the beginning of 2018, cases declined rapidly. On the surface, it looked as though the country had successfully controlled the virus and the outbreak had ended, just as all previous monkeypox outbreaks had...

Thank you, Patrick Wood, for pointing out the stark truths we tripped over, but failed to see:

Climate Madness: Destroying The Enemy’s Food Supply Is An Age-Old Military Tactic Farmers have been declared to be the scapegoats of the mass formation of global warming loons and destroying food production is at the top of their list.

______________

Thirty years ago, I (Meryl) did a very deep dive into the 1965-1981 Rhodesian civil war. There was a policy called Food Control, in which white farmers were only allowed to give their black staff enough food for one day at a time. Wells were poisoned. Infectious diseases like hepatitis and cholera were seeded into rivers. Nerve gas compounds were impregnated into clothing. Anthrax was air-dropped in “Tribal Trust Lands” where the only inhabitants were black. I was the person who proved that anthrax had been deliberately spread.

Make no mistake, we are now in the middle of a war. Thank God for Patrick Wood explaining this to us. Please take his warning seriously.

I have an idea about stopping this mess. We create a pledge, and ask everyone who agrees to sign it. We have a nearly identical pledge that citizens then ask all candidates for elected office to sign, or we note that they refused

We have a nearly identical pledge that citizens then ask ALL candidates for elected office to sign, or we note that they refused, and put the signatures on a website, similar to what was done with the Great Barrington declaration.

The concept is to get millions of signatures against all the emergency rules and mandated vaccines that have destroyed economies, jobs, kept people from home and work, mandated useless masks and 6 foot distancing, initiated vaccine passports and numerous other restrictions, and have maintained the emergency way beyond any rational need.

If enough people sign, the candidates will be forced to sign or be publicly exposed as in favor of the emergency regulations and mandatory shots, possibly forever…basically in favor of the Great Reset.

Here is an early version of the sort of pledge I envision: 

A Pledge to Regain our Democratic Traditions

1.  REVOKE COVID EMERGENCY LAWS and INTRODUCE LEGISLATIVE REVIEW OF EMERGENCIES 

I support limits on government powers conferred by an emergency declaration.  All government emergency laws, rules, regulations, orders, and any other directives must have strict time limits, not to exceed 2 weeks. Legislative and/or administrative government actions must recommence immediately at the end of two weeks. Emergency declarations may not be renewed by the executive or legislature without legislative hearings on the rationale for the emergency measures and their alternatives.

2.  PROHIBIT MEDICAL MANDATES  

I support revocation of all medical mandates enacted by federal, state, county, city, and private actors as of March 2020, including compulsory mandates for vaccines, vaccine passports, testing and masking.

3.  PROHIBIT GOVERNMENT PROPAGANDA, CENSORSHIP and RESTRICTED COMMUNICATIONS 

I support termination of any federal or state a) funding and b) any other efforts to propagandize or censor the American public, or to restrict communication between people.  Government efforts to suppress freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of religion or freedom of the press violate the first amendment to the Constitution.

There might also be binding referenda in jurisdictions that allow them.

I need help from legal minds about how to make this bulletproof.

A terrible crime. So much for equity. Washington DC's majority black 12 and up population must play Russian roulette in order to attend school

While this article claims that 80% of the District's 12-17 year olds are already vaccinated, I don't believe it.  Washington D. C. is majority black, which is the least vaccinated demographic in the US, probably because they don't trust the government to tell the truth to them.  They recall Tuskegee.  Good for them.  Terrible crime to demand people be injected with a poison that does not prevent COVID and does not prevent transmission, when practically no healthy children have died or been very ill due to COVID.  One needs to ask what deals were made by the Mayor and city council to sell the kids of the District down the river.  Someone(s) benefited mightily.  As they did when they voted several years ago that 11 year olds could receive vaccines without parental permission.  Several groups sued over that, and won.

The FDA recently licensed the vaccine for this age group, which is what enables a legal mandate.  Children 12 and up receive an adult dose of vaccine (30mg/dose for Pfizer and 100 mg/dose for Moderna) even though on average they weigh about half what a 50 year old weighs.

The fact that the mandate only applies to 12 and up children, the only ones for whom the vaccine is licensed, is also a tacit admission that mandates cannot legally be enforced while the vaccine is an experimental product...even though the government would never admit it.

Here is some amazing information from the UK's Office of National Statistics.

It is a list, by age group, of deaths in which no other comorbidities, besides COVID, are listed on the death certificate.

From the start of the pandemic until the end of December 2021, 23 months, there were only 3 child deaths IN TOTAL in England and Wales (population 60 million) that had no co-morbid conditions listed on the death certificates. One occurred in an infant, and two in children aged 10 through 19.  

Only three COVID deaths occurred in otherwise healthy children over 23 months, in Great Britain, a nation of 60 million people.

DC to require students 12 and older to be vaccinated against COVID-19 this fall

D.C. students 12 and older will be required to receive COVID-19 vaccines.

By Arielle Mitropoulos

July 21, 2022, 7:38 AM

ABC News Live

Students over the age of 12 will be required to receive COVID-19 vaccines this fall in Washington, D.C., the district's Office of the State Superintendent of Education has announced.

"We want to make sure that all of our students have everything they need for a healthy start to the school year," State Superintendent of Education Dr. Christina Grant said in a statement on Tuesday. "This means making sure children see their primary medical provider for a well-child visit and receive all needed immunizations."

Beginning this fall, for the 2022-23 school year, student vaccine requirements will include the COVID-19 vaccine for all students for whom there is a federally, fully approved COVID-19 vaccine.

Unless exempted, children ages 12 to 15 will be required to receive a primary COVID-19 vaccine series, or to have started receiving their shots by Sept. 16, 2022. Similarly, all students 16 or older must have received, or have started receiving, their primary COVID-19 vaccination series by the beginning of the school year...

Pierre Kory's Op-Ed on the Insane Paxlovid Distribution Program

https://pierrekory.substack.com/p/my-op-ed-on-the-insane-paxlovid-distribution

The U.S Gov't (Pfizer) is now allowing pharmacists to dispense Paxlovid without consulting a physician. Biden's policy of a toxic jab in every arm and a pricey pill in every mouth needs an overhaul.

 

...Consider the Food and Drug Administration’s recent decision allowing pharmacists to play doctor and prescribe Pfizer’s anti-viral treatment Paxlovid, which Biden himself, having contracted Covid-19, is now taking. The agency claims this is meant to increase access to the medicine, which must be taken as soon as symptoms arise. But the drug’s fact sheet is a tangled web of restrictions that will make it impractical for most pharmacies to take the risk. Why is the FDA encouraging this?

The answer is plain to anyone who has been following the plight of independent doctors during the pandemic. Our public health agencies — heavily influenced by the pharmaceutical industry and beholden to Biden’s “vaccine first” approach — are committed to diminishing the medical profession and centralizing authority with bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. They have prosecuted a relentless campaign to reduce physicians to cogs in a health care system that is aggressively transforming all medical professionals from providers to prescribers...

Novavax vaccine has 1 mcg of insect and baculovirus proteins and a bit of their DNA too, injected into you with each dose

You see, the vaccine’s spike protein is grown by genetically engineering baculoviruses to produce spike, and then infecting insect cells with the baculovirus to turn the whole thing into a spike protein factory.

At the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices meeting that I live-blogged last week, it was revealed that the Novavax vaccine was being rolled out because it could be marketed as a “more traditional” vaccine, since it was not made from mRNA. Novavax was to be directed to the unvaccinated, although only 10% of the unvaccinated, it was anticipated, would accept it.

The fact that no fetal cells were used in its development was claimed to be a marketing plus. However, thanks to a reader, it turns out that a human fetal cell line, (HEK) 293F, was used in the testing of the vaccine, as described in an article in Science. Funders of the research are listed at the bottom of this article.

NOTHING about this vaccine is traditional.

First, the Novavax company does not own a manufacturing plant, so the vaccine being distributed in the US is made at the Serum Institute of India.

Second, the adjuvant, Matrix-M (a nonspecific, potent immune stimulant) has never been used before. It is made from the Quillaja saponaria tree. There is another adjuvant that is only used in one (highly reactogenic) US vaccine, Shingrix, which is an extract from this tree. The Shingrix GSK adjuvant, named ASO1B, contains QS-21, a single extract from the bark of the Quillaja saponaria tree.

The problem is that we don’t know what extracts from the tree are included in Matrix-M. The information is proprietary! The Matrix-M adjuvant uses two unspecified “fractions” from the Q. saponaria tree, and there exist no data on its safety.  (Matrix-M does not contain QS-21, although the company sometimes implies it does, to distract from its novelty.) These two fractions, combined with phospholipids and cholesterol, form the 40 nanometer particles of Matrix M.

While the tree extracts are potent immune stimulants, all those characterized also have significant toxicity.

Third, in addition to getting 5 mcg of spike protein in every dose, you will receive 1 mcg of residual amounts of baculovirus and Sf9 cell proteins (≤ 0.96 mcg), and baculovirus and cellular [from the fall armyworm] DNA (≤ 0.00016 mcg), according to the FDA.

So, you are getting an additional 20% protein of insect and baculovirus origin in addition to the 5 mcg of spike protein, in each of your two doses.

                                                The fall armyworm

In other words, the Novavax vaccine is not sufficiently purified. And no one can tell you how the insect and viral protein and DNA contaminants will affect you.

Anyone who tells you that the Novavax vaccine is a traditional protein vaccine is a scoundrel.  This vaccine is another "bait and switch" being rolled out solely to entice the unvaccinated, because it is not made of mRNA.  

* But it still gives you a big dose of the spike poison. 

There is a single other vaccine in the US that uses the fall armyworm-baculovirus platform to produce viral proteins.  It is one of about a dozen available flu shots, whose brand name is Flublok.  It too contains worm and viral DNA and protein.  See item 11 in its label.

Fourth, the regulators admit they have no idea if the vaccine works nor how dangerous it is. See below,  which is a screenshot I took from the ACIP advisory committee meeting on Novavax.  

It makes clear that the regulators don’t know how much myocarditis the Novavax causes, nor whether it works against current variants.

But they still want you injected.  See the last line:  it will be important to figure out if it works or is safe after authorization.  Your tax dollars at work.  But the vaccine is "free."

Will you be fooled again? Who are the funders of the Novavax research published in Science?

Funding: This work was supported by grants from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Center for HIV/AIDS Vaccine Development (UM1 AI144462 to J.C.P. and A.B.W., R01 AI113867 to J.C.P., R01 AI132317 to D.N., and P01 AI110657 to A.B.W.), the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (OPP1170236 to A.B.W.), and Novavax, Inc., Molecular graphics and analyses were performed with UCSF Chimera developed by the Resource for Biocomputing, Visualization, and Informatics at the University of California, San Francisco, with support from National Institutes of Health (R01-GM129325 and P41-GM103311) and the Office of Cyber Infrastructure and Computational Biology, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

UPDATE July 30:  Here is what the FDA-approved Fact Sheet p.7 says (which EUA products must have in lieu of a label):

"...the FDA has issued an EUA for the unapproved product, Novavax COVID-19 Vaccine, Adjuvanted, for active immunization to prevent COVID-19 in individuals 18 years of age and older.

FDA issued this EUA based on Novavax, Inc.’s request and submitted data. [In other words, don't blame the FDA if something goes wrong, because we just believed their data, and we never tried to verify it--Nass] 

Although limited scientific information is available, based on the totality of the scientific evidence available to date, it is reasonable to believe that the Novavax COVID-19 Vaccine, Adjuvanted may be effective for the prevention of COVID-19 in individuals as specified in the Full EUA Prescribing Information."

How many asses were being covered with this agglomeration of weasel words?

And here is grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to Novavax in a SEC filing. 

Historic Decision Against Mandatory Vaccination by Italian Court + Covid Vaccine Risk to Human Genome Now Legally Established (Italy)/ CHD Europe

July 18, 2022

Historic Decision Against Mandatory Vaccination by Italian Court + Covid Vaccine Risk to Human Genome Now Legally Established (Italy)

Covid-19 EU Issues Legal actions Public Health Vaccination Vaccine safety

• More

On July 6th, 2022, the court of Florence has approved a sentence annulling the measure taken by the Order of Psychologists of Tuscany against one of its members, the reason being: ‘the suspension of the exercise of the profession risks compromising primary individual rights such as the right to a livelihood and the right to work’.

The judge ruled that the psychologist doesn’t need to be vaccinated in order to do his job by establishing that:

• these substances don’t prevent infection and transmission. Therefore, in front of the Italian law, there can not be an obligation.
• She also recognises that these substances provokes severe adverse events.
  Therefore, it even less legitimate to force anybody to be injected.
• The judge put the dignity of the human being at the centre and referred twice to the period of Nazism and Fascism. Mandatory vaccination is possible if there is informed consent. For Covid injections, she explained that an informed consent is not possible as we don’t know the ingredients and the mechanisms of these substances because of industrial and alleged military secret.

This interim decision is grounded in serious conclusion: there is no right to suspend a citizen from the right to work based of this illegal request of vaccination with these experimental substances.

With this historic court decision, “the Risk to human genome is now legally established” Renate Holzeisen, Italian attorney engaged in the defense of the Human Rights, said in an interview for an Italian radio.

“This could be a milestone” said Reiner Fuellmich during the Corona Committee 113, interviewing Renate Holzeisen.

No obligation as the official data show that these experimental substances don’t prevent infection and transmission amongst people treated with 3 or more Covid shots.

First of all, the judge declares that based on the datas published by the Ministry of Health, AIFA (Italian Medicines Agency) and the SSN (Italian Health Services), it is very clear that these substances (aka Covid vaccines), defined several times by the judge as “experimental”, don’t prevent infection from the virus. For a mandatory vaccination, the substances should be proven to work.

Therefore, as they don’t work, in front of the Italian law, there can not be an obligation.

Doctor leading the intensive care in Verona has declared in television that all Covid patients in intensive care are people treated with 3 Covid shots.

Nobody can be forced to be injected as these substances provoke severe adverse events and this is based on official public data regarding adverse events.

In the court decision, the judge also recognises that these substances cause very serious side effects that can even lead to death, and also refers to the risk of genetic mutation.

Therefore, it even less legitimate to force anybody to be injected.

The judge declared that you cannot sacrifice life and health of an individual for the benefit of the population, but based on the public data coming from the Italian and European health authority, there is evidence that, at the end, there isn’t even a benefit for the community.

The Dignity of the human being is at the centre. Mandatory vaccination is not possible because there is NO informed consent due to industrial and alleged military secret regarding the ingredients and the mechanism of these injections.

Even if these substances would work to prevent these infection, after the Nazi and fascism period, it can not be a mandatory without an informed consent.

The judge stated that there is no benefit for these substances BUT even if there was a benefit, we can not sacrifice the individual right in the name of the common interest, and put the dignity of the human being at the centre.

The judge referred twice to the Nazi and fascism period, to the Italian Constitution article 32 highlighting that there is a reason why Dignity is at the centre of the first article of the German constitution.

She explained that an informed consent is not possible as we don’t know the ingredients and the mechanisms of these substances (industrial and alleged military secret).

We should recall a group of Human Rights Italian activists who presented a Freedom of Information Act to the EMA and to the Italian Cares Authority asking for clear informations about the ingredients and the safety of these experimental substances aka Covid injections. As an answer, the EMA said that no information can be shared as there is a military secret in place.

In his decision, the judge stated it: no information are available about these substances and even if we ask for information publicly, we don’t receive it. There is no informed consent.

In this historic decision, the Tuscan judge concluded that based on all these, the discrimination of this psychologist and her suspension from work is totally illegal. Even before hearing the other part (Tuscany’s Chamber of Psychologists), because of the ongoing irreversible damage the plaintiff suffered and because of the clear evidence, she suspended the decision of the Tuscany’s Chamber of Psychologists to suspend the plaintiff and fixed a court hearing for 15^th September.

But the judge showed as well that there is no need to go to the constitutional court as we know that these substances (aka Covid-19 vaccine) don’t prevent infection. In front of the Italian law regarding mandatory Covid vaccination, it is enough to say the suspension from labour of healthcare workers is illegitimate because these substances don’t do what the constitution request.

Mandatory vaccination for many other categories of workers (teachers, fireworkers, military-members, policemen etc.) was already foreseen and for the citizen over 50 years the mandatory vaccination is still in force.

This is the first decision with which an Italian judge declared the material truth and the imposition of the treatment is radically illegitimate.

Monkeypox (16,000 cases, no deaths in West) now declared by WHO a global emergency. Get your vaccine! Then get a cardiologist!

Was monkeypox planned, in part, as way to get injections into Africans?  Or as a way to get injections into recalcitrant westerners?

From STAT:  [Tedros took it upon himself to declare the global emergency, it seems.  He is buddies with Bill Gates--Nass]  

In an unusual move, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus made the declaration even though a committee of experts he had convened to study the issue was unable to reach a consensus. The same committee met just one month ago and declined to declare a public health emergency of international concern, or PHEIC...

The PHEIC (pronounced like “fake”) gives Tedros certain powers, such as the ability to recommend how countries should respond. It could also rally global coordination for a more unified response. Part of that effort may involve ensuring the more equitable distribution of vaccines and treatments, which are in short supply.

World Health Organization says monkeypox outbreak is now a global emergency

The World Health Organization said the expanding monkeypox outbreak in more than 70 countries is an "extraordinary" situation that now qualifies as a global emergency, a declaration Saturday that could spur further investment in treating the once-rare disease and worsen the scramble for scarce vaccines.

Although monkeypox has been established in parts of central and west Africa for decades, it was not known to spark large outbreaks beyond the continent or to spread widely among people until May, when authorities detected dozens of epidemics in Europe, North America and elsewhere.

Declaring a global emergency means the monkeypox outbreak is an "extraordinary event" that could spill over into more countries and requires a coordinated global response. WHO previously declared emergencies for public health crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2014 West African Ebola outbreak, the Zika virus in Latin America in 2016 and the ongoing effort to eradicate polio.

The emergency declaration mostly serves as a plea to draw more global resources and attention to an outbreak. Past announcements had mixed impact, given that the U.N. health agency is largely powerless in getting countries to act.

CDC:US reports first two cases of monkeypox in children

Last month, WHO's expert committee said the worldwide monkeypox outbreak did not yet amount to an international emergency, but the panel convened this week to reevaluate the situation.

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 16,000 cases of monkeypox have been reported in 74 countries since about May. To date, monkeypox deaths have only been reported in Africa, where a more dangerous version of the virus is spreading, mainly in Nigeria and Congo.

In Africa, monkeypox mainly spreads to people from infected wild animals like rodents, in limited outbreaks that typically have not crossed borders. In Europe, North America and elsewhere, however, monkeypox is spreading among people with no links to animals or recent travel to Africa. 

WHO's top monkeypox expert, Dr. Rosamund Lewis, said this week that 99% of all the monkeypox cases beyond Africa were in men and that of those, 98% involved men who have sex with men. Experts suspect the monkeypox outbreaks in Europe and North America were spread via sex at two raves in Belgium and Spain.

Michael Head, a senior research fellow in global health at Southampton University, said it was surprising WHO hadn't already declared monkeypox a global emergency, explaining that the conditions were arguably met weeks ago.

Some experts have questioned whether such a declaration would help, arguing the disease isn't severe enough to warrant the attention and that rich countries battling monkeypox already have the funds to do so; most people recover without needing medical attention, although the lesions may be painful.

"I think it would be better to be proactive and overreact to the problem instead of waiting to react when it's too late," Head said. He added that WHO's emergency declaration could help donors like the World Bank make funds available to stop the outbreaks both in the West and in Africa, where animals are the likely natural reservoir of monkeypox.

In the U.S., some experts have speculated whether monkeypox might be on the verge of becoming an entrenched sexually transmitted disease in the country, like gonorrhea, herpes and HIV.

"The bottom line is we've seen a shift in the epidemiology of monkeypox where there's now widespread, unexpected transmission," said Dr. Albert Ko, a professor of public health and epidemiology at Yale University. "There are some genetic mutations in the virus that suggest why that may be happening, but we do need a globally-coordinated response to get it under control," he said.

Ko called for testing to be immediately scaled up rapidly, saying that similar to the early days of COVID-19, that there were significant gaps in surveillance.

"The cases we are seeing are just the tip of the iceberg," he said. "The window has probably closed for us to quickly stop the outbreaks in Europe and the U.S., but it's not too late to stop monkeypox from causing huge damage to poorer countries without the resources to handle it."

In the U.S., some experts have speculated that monkeypox might become entrenched there as the newest sexually transmitted disease, with officials estimating that 1.5 million men are at high risk of being infected.

Dr. Placide Mbala, a virologist who directs the global health department at Congo's Institute of National Biomedical Research, said he hoped any global efforts to stop monkeypox would be equitable. Although countries including Britain, Canada, Germany and the U.S. have ordered millions of vaccine doses, none have gone to Africa.

"The solution needs to be global," Mbala said, adding that any vaccines sent to Africa would be used to target those at highest risk, like hunters in rural areas.

"Vaccination in the West might help stop the outbreak there, but there will still be cases in Africa," he said. "Unless the problem is solved here, the risk to the rest of the world will remain."

New York detects case of vaccine-derived polio. So get vaccinated./ Healio

Do you ever get the feeling that no matter what the news, the punchline is always "get vaccinated"?  In this case, the killed polio vaccines used in the US are less effective than the live vaccines (which are cheaper) but the cheaper vaccines can revert to virulence and be spread through fecal-oral contact (swimming pools, leaky sewer pipes).

I wonder which cheap supplements and generic drugs might actually CURE polio?  Have any of the authorities asked THAT question?

https://www.healio.com/news/infectious-disease/20220721/new-york-detects-case-of-vaccinederived-polio

Health officials on Thursday reported the detection of a case of vaccine-derived polio in a resident of Rockland County, New York, which is north of New York City.

The officials advised the medical community to be on alert for more cases.

Officials in New York announced the detection of the first case of polio in the U.S. since 2013. Source: Adobe Stock

According to the state health department, testing done at a state lab and confirmed by the CDC showed that the virus is a vaccine strain Sabin type 2, which indicates that transmission occurred from someone who received an oral polio vaccine.

Different from wild polio, which has been nearly eradicated globally, cases of vaccine-derived poliovirus occur when a live but weakened strain of virus that is included in vaccines spreads between people. Like wild polio, vaccine-derived poliovirus can cause paralysis.

According to the state health department, it is the first case of vaccine-derived polio recorded in the United States since 2013. There has not been a case of wild polio in the U.S. since 1979, according to the CDC.

The U.S. has used only inactivated polio vaccines since 2000...

2019: $500,888,808

2020: $547,940,260

2021: $1,445,350,949

Lincoln’s annual financial report cited “non-pandemic-related morbidity” and “unusual claims adjustments” to explain losses from its group life insurance business. Other public life insurance providers are also strangely down, “unexpectedly.” For example, an recent analyst’s report on life insurance giant Reinsurance Group of America (RGA) wonders about RGA’s mysterious revenue losses:

“Looking at its three-year median payout ratio of 29% (or a retention ratio of 71%) which is pretty normal, Reinsurance Group of America’s declining earnings is rather baffling as one would expect to see a fair bit of growth when a company is retaining a good portion of its profits. It looks like there might be some other reasons to explain the lack in that respect. For example, the business could be in decline.”

Baffling. I suppose there MIGHT be “some other reasons.” Who knows? It’s a mystery. Oh well!

COVID-19: How Many Boosters Should I Get?

 

        I hope you are able to find what you need—essential shortages are likely.

        One thing not in short supply is COVID boosters—and possibly mandates to get them.

        The promise that the vaccines would end the pandemic has proved to be a false hope. The graph below shows that in Canada the most vaccinated people experience the most cases. 

 

 

        This shows the absolute number of cases, so the reason for fewer cases in the unvaccinated could be simply that there are not many unvaccinated people left. But clearly, the “one and done” concept didn’t work, and now we might only be considered “fully vaccinated” for a few months. Worse, as epidemiologist Dr. Harvey Risch of Yale points out, the benefit of the vaccine could turn negative after four to eight months. In other words, you become more likely to get infected.

        If the spike protein in the prevailing strain changes, the vaccine-induced antibodies may interfere with your immunity instead of neutralizing the virus, Dr. Risch explained.

        Twice-boosted President Biden tested positive and has mild symptoms, and everyone who has been in contact with him will be informed. (The vaccine does not prevent transmission.) Twice-boosted Dr. Anthony Fauci also got COVID, was treated with Paxlovid, and had a rebound with symptoms worse than with the initial illness after completing the five-day course.

        Each and every dose carries a risk of adverse effects. A spike in cases of Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS) has been called “baffling,” and its occurrence post vaccination is considered to be a coincidence, according to fact-checkers. 

        Whether vaccinated or not, a patient with COVID needs treatment. Pfizer’s Paxlovid™ is the officially recommended treatment, but note the “black box” warning. The AIDS-drug component, ritonavir, can cause serious adverse effects, including death, because of interactions with many commonly used drugs.
