This article is my second attempt to write about this study because the first one vanished while I was trying to save it. Beyond that, there is something quite unusual about this study which I will point out as we go down the article. The Science magazine published Durability of mRNA-1273 vaccine-induced antibodies against SARS-CoV-2…
The American Heritage Dictionary defines durable as Capable of withstanding wear and tear or decay. Made to withstand repeated use over a relatively long period, usually several years or more. Able to perform or compete over a long period, as by avoiding or overcoming injuries. The Pfizer Durability Study The Pfizer BNT162b2 vaccine uses 30µg doses…
The journal International Pharmacology published a study about the cross-reactivity between antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 and the influenza virus. [1] The cross-reactivity of antibodies between the virus that causes COVID-19 and influenza is particularly relevant now that we are entering the flu season. That’s because antibodies elicited by previous flu or the flu shot may affect…
The Delta variant is the predominant strain causing COVID-19 throughout the world. It has shown resistance to the antibodies produced by the BNT162b2 Pfizer vaccine leading to breakthrough infections among the fully vaccinated. The mutations in the receptor-binding domain (RBD) allows the Delta variant to avoid the neutralizing antibodies. Recently, researchers from Osaka University investigated…
Viral loads are the best predictor of death in COVID-19, according to research. That study can be found here: SARS-CoV-2 Viral Load: Best Predictor of COVID-19 Death. A new study shows that people with COVID-19 infected with the Delta variant COVID-19 have the highest viral loads compared to other people with other variants. The study,…
Why are there fewer COVID-19 deaths in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) compared to other parts of the world? They are poor and have fewer health care resources. In the study featured in this article, the authors hypothesized that sub-Saharan Africans were exposed to infections, including the other common coronaviruses. This exposure to the coronaviruses elicited a…
The National Health Service of the United Kingdom published for the October 2021 edition of the Journal of Infection, SARS-CoV-2 viral load at presentation to hospital is independently associated with the risk of death. The study evaluated whether viral loads, age, duration of illness, and antibody levels against the SARS-CoV-2 are determinants of mortality. They…
This article is partially rewritten for better readability on October 9, 2021 Aix-Marseille Université in France experimented to determine if antibodies from the COVID-19 vaccines can cause infection enhancement if someone gets infected with the Delta variant. The study is Infection-enhancing anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies recognize both the original Wuhan/D614G strain and Delta variants. A potential risk…
Risk prediction of Covid-19 related Death and Hospital Admission in Adults after Covid-19 vaccination: national prospective cohort is a study published in the British Medical Journal on September 17, 2021 What is the use of the study? The study is about how the authors developed, used, and verified the QCovid3 algorithm to determine who among…
The CDC reported an increase in childhood obesity in its Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, Longitudinal Trends in Body Mass Index Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic Among Persons Aged 2–19 Years — United States, 2018–2020. Among a cohort of 432,302 persons aged 2–19 years, the rate of body mass index (BMI) increase approximately doubled…
Months ago, there were concerns that the vaccinated may be spreading the spike protein to the unvaccinated. It was widespread among social media. So the question is, is it possible for someone to get the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein from someone vaccinated? No studies have tested whether a coronavirus protein can be exhaled, but it has…
Melatonin is part of the FLCCC’s I-MASK+ FLCCC protocol for preventing and early treatment of COVID-19. The prevention Protocol recommends 6 mg before bedtime to fortify the immune system, and the Early Treatment Protocol (for Delta Variant) recommends 10 mg of Melatonin before bedtime. Are there studies to support the Melatonin for COVID-19? c19melatonin.com is…
In June 2021, two different meta-analyses came out that had opposite conclusions about the effectiveness of ivermectin against COVID-19. The peer-reviewed study, Ivermectin for Prevention and Treatment of COVID-19 Infection: A Systematic Review, Meta-analysis, and Trial Sequential Analysis to Inform Clinical Guidelines, was published in the American Journal of Therapeutics by Bryant et al. [1] on…
A preprint study from Harvard Medical School, Differential antibody dynamics to SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination, compared the immune responses against SARS-CoV-2 among three groups of people: (i) the ones who recovered from COVID-19, (ii) the vaccinated who did not get COVID-19, and (iii) the ones who had COVID-19 and then were vaccinated. To cut thru…
The UK National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has published guidelines for diagnosing and treating vaccine-related bleeding and blood clotting disorders. You can find the guideline at COVID-19 rapid guideline: The vaccine-induced immune thrombocytopenia and thrombosis (VITT). The most useful information for the general public about this guideline is recognizing the early signs…
The FLCCC Alliance has a webpage, How to get Ivermectin. It lists the providers who can give a prescription within and outside the U.S., the states they serve, and their websites. Call your local providers first if they can prescribe your Ivermectin. If they are reluctant to prescribe Ivermectin, check out the list on the website,…
A kettlebell is like a cannonball with handles. It has a long history as exercise equipment. Kettlebells are relatively inexpensive, do not need much space, and can be done at home. All muscles of the body are involved during a kettlebell swing. That’s why kettlebells are time and space-efficient. The journal Experimental Gerontology has…
A new preprint study showed that chronic high-saturated fat and high sugar diets resulted in worse COVID-19 outcomes among Syrian hamsters. The study, Western diet increases COVID-19 disease severity in the Syrian hamster is from the National Institute of Health and National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease and was recently published in biorxiv. …
On August 26, 2021, the CDC recently put out a Health Advisory – Rapid Increase in Ivermectin Prescriptions and Reports of Severe Illness Associated with Use of Products Containing Ivermectin to Prevent or Treat COVID-19. In it, the CDC reports adverse reactions from people taking ivermectin that physicians did not prescribe. Here’s a quote, Ivermectin…
A paper published in Colombia Medica back in December 2020, COVID-19: The Ivermectin African Enigma, talks about how the use of ivermectin in central African countries may have contributed to the decrease in the cases and death of COVID-19. The African Programme for Onchocerciasis Control (APOC) The World Health Organization has a program called African…
