This article is based on the research, MSH3 Homology and Potential Recombination Link to SARS-CoV-2 Furin Cleavage Site published in the peer-reviewed journal Frontiers in Virology. Briefly, it talks about the genetic sequence present in the SARS-CoV-2 virus that caused the COVID-19 pandemic to be similar to a nucleotide sequence patented by Moderna in 2016….
Genetic recombination is when gene sequences from two organisms combine. It is common among RNA viruses like coronaviruses. Recombination can happen when infected with two distinct mutants or variants. Two pandemic variants, Delta and Omicron 21K succeeded in southern France but co-circulated for several weeks. That explains why three people in southern France got infected…
Here is my YouTube video on this subject. It’s my first attempt at doing videos but I aim to get better with time. Here is my first YouTube video. It’s about the Pfizer Adverse Events of Special Interest. It’s a work in progress but I aim to get better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkbgtErm-CU The Council for…
The study, Comparison of the immunogenicity of BNT162b2 and CoronaVac COVID-19 vaccines in Hong Kong, was published in the peer-reviewed journal Respirology. The two injections are different. The Pfizer BNT162b2 uses the modified RNA technology enclosed in a lipid nanoparticle. In contrast, the Coronavac uses an old vaccine technology using inactivated viruses that cannot replicate…
Decisions about taking medications, including vaccines, should include a risk-benefit analysis. Will I have more significant benefits from getting the vaccine (prevent death from COVID-19), or will I die from it? Death is the most significant endpoint, and it is not easily confounded by bias. Vaccine studies usually use other endpoints like “preventing severe disease”…
It was always said that the mRNA COVID shots do not integrate into human genes because the COVID shots contain messenger RNA and humans have DNA in our genome. The RNA will need an enzyme called reverse transcriptase that is not in the shots for it to become DNA. And that is why the RNA will…
Yesterday, Vladimir Putin put placed all of Russia’s nuclear armaments on high alert. In response, the US government updated Ready.gov to include nuclear preparedness. This article is reproduced from the U.S. website Ready.gov. This is new on their website. Many of you probably know that I worked in the emergency room for more than a…
The study featured in this article was initially designed to see if there is mutual antipathy among the COVID-19 vaccinated and the unvaccinated. Prejudice Against the Vaccinated and the Unvaccinated During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Global Conjoint Experiment is available at https://psyarxiv.com/t2g45/. Their findings may not surprise some as many have felt them. Method The…
A peer-reviewed study published in Cell shows the good and the bad (mostly) about the COVID-19 shots. The study’s findings help explain why adverse reactions happen with the COVID-19 (CV19) injections. The authors compared antibodies by people who recovered from CV19 and those vaccinated with the Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca, Sputnik, and Sinopharm vaccines. Findings The…
Doctors from the University of Ferrara, University of Bologna, and the Local Health Unit of Pescara studied the entire population of the Abruzzo Region in Italy to know the rate of COVID-19 (CV19) reinfection. They defined reinfection as the presence of two positive PCR samples ≥45 days apart with ≥ 1 negative PCR test in…
There are excess deaths in Scotland for 2021, the year of the COVID vaccines rollout. The graph below from ScottishUnity.org shows Scotland’s weekly number of deaths from 2020 to 2021, and data is from the National Records of Scotland. The graph shows the percentage of deaths from Respiratory/CV19, Heart/Stroke, Dementia/Alzheimer, Cancer, and Others (trauma, suicides,…
Public Health Scotland released the COVID-19 Winter Report. It is 62 pages long, but I will go straight to the point. Table 15 on page 47, shown below, summarizes it all. The table shows the confirmed COVID-19 related deaths among the unvaccinated and three vaccinated groups. (One, two, and three (booster) doses). Table 15 of…
Kaiser Permanente Northwest studied 65,785 members aged 18-39 who received a COVID-19 vaccine booster shot at least five months following the primary series. They looked for the ‘myocarditis’ and ‘pericarditis’ diagnosis codes in all outpatient and inpatient encounters until January 18, 2022. Myocarditis is the inflammation of the heart muscles, and pericarditis is the inflammation…
A study from Sri Lanka on 2,493 women with COVID-19 identified that pre-pregnancy overweight and obesity increases the risk of preterm delivery ( less than 37 weeks). Data was collected from March 1, 2020, to October 31, 2021, by the Family Health Bureau, Ministry of Health, Colombo, Sri Lanka. Pregnancy outcomes of mothers with COVID-19…
Plos One published a study on whether the Wim Hof Method can clinically improve arthritis. The Wim Hof Method (WHM) comprises a breathing technique with hyperventilation, cold therapy, and meditation. The breathing method is described below. A previous article, Secrets of the Ice Man: Voluntary control of adrenaline and the effect on the immune system,…
A 66-year-old man with no significant medical history except for hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and type 2 diabetes presented on September 1, 2021, with lymph node enlargement on his neck. The increase in size became apparent after a recent flu-like syndrome. He has no history of cancer. He had two doses of BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine (Pfizer) 5…
Yesterday I posted Secrets of the Ice Man: Voluntary control of adrenaline and the effect on the immune system. This article features “Brain over body”-A study on the willful regulation of autonomic function during cold exposure that gave the scientific explanation on how Wim Hof can tolerate prolonged exposure to icy environments. Wim Hof, also known as…
Wim Hof is a man with extraordinary abilities. In a GQ article that featured the Ice Man, Wim Hof “holds 20 world records ranging from the world’s longest ice bath – 1 hour and 52 minutes and 42 seconds – to his successful attempt to scale Mount Everest wearing nothing but shorts, shoes, and a…
Above-average deaths of 5 to 74 years old for the year 2021 The death statistics for the US for 2021 are now complete. The website deadorkicking.com gathers US data from: CDC – Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation United States Census Bureau The data for 2021 is presented below…
A new study from Brazil looked at the devastating effects of the SARS-CoV-2 virus on testicular tissues among men who had severe COVID-19. [1] Study subjects The research examined eleven non-vaccinated male patients who died from COVID-19 complications.
