What Happens to Patients, Doctors and Big Pharma in Adverse Drug Reactions?

Have you ever wondered why some drugs or vaccines that pass FDA approval turn out to have severe adverse effects that they have to be withdrawn from the market? Most of you probably know that medications undergo clinical trials for years before they are released. During that time, the positive and adverse effects are both…

Five Mechanisms of Antibody-Dependent Enhancement

Antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) happens when antibodies intensify infection rather than prevent it. ADE uses the immune system of the host to make the infection worse. Understanding what the immune system does to battle COVID-19 will make it easy to know ADE. COVID-19  In COVID-19, the more virus, the worse the infection. The clinical course of…

CDC Report shows 25% Mortality in Breakthrough Cases

The CDC has a website, COVID-19 Vaccine Breakthrough Case Investigation and Reporting that monitors the occurrence of COVID-19 among vaccinated people. The Breakthrough Report is a “sandwich.” A sandwich is putting the negative feedback or news in between something affirmative. An example is a boss firing his employee. Boss: “Bob, you have been a tremendous asset…

How to Lower Viral Airborne Transmission Indoors

The flu season coincides with people spending more time indoors.  There are several reasons why this is so. Heated indoor air dries up any droplets emitted while talking, coughing, sneezing, singing, or shouting. (People like to cheer for their teams while watching them on TV). Once the respiratory droplets are dry, the remaining viruses tend…

Conflicting Studies about Molnupiravir and Mutations

An in vitro study from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill [1] showed that the new drug developed for COVID-19 could cause mutations in mammalian cells. This raises the possibility that molnupiravir can cause cancer. Molnupiravir is the current drug that Merck is requesting the FDA to have Emergency Use Authorization to treat…

Shingles after COVID-19 Vaccination

This article is about the occurrence of shingles after the COVID-19 vaccination. The first part is how the varicella-zoster virus hides from the immune system. The second is how the COVID-19 vaccine alters the immune system to bring out the shingles. Shingles as an adverse reaction The OpenVAERS is easier to be up to date…

Religious Exemption for COVID-19 Vaccine?

Addendum October 7, 2021. Fetal cells used in the development of the COVID-19 vaccine are a good reason for vaccine exemption. Project Veritas released this video about a Pfizer employee. PFIZER LEAKS: Whistleblower Goes On Record, Reveals Internal Emails from Chief Scientific Officer & Senior Director of Worldwide Research Discussing COVID Vaccine … ‘We Want…

Antibody-Dependent Enhancement in Breastfed Infants

Addendum October 9, 2021: Since I shared this article on social media, a friend of mine reported that after he got a second COVID-19 shot, he experienced allergic reactions controlled by anti-allergy medicines. However, the rash will return when he stops the antihistamine. The infection enhancement by the COVID-19 vaccine by histamine release can also…

The Durability Study of the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine is Strange and Unusual

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…

Durable Immunity from Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine Lasts only Six Months

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…

Antibodies to the Flu and COVID-19 Cross-React

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…

Paris Study: Highest Viral Loads among Delta Variant Carriers

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,…

Natural Immunity Protected Tanzania and Zambia from COVID-19

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…

SARS-CoV-2 Viral Load: Best Predictor of COVID-19 Death

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…

Antibody dependent enhancement can happen to Delta Variant COVID-19

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…

Who among the Vaccinated are At Risk of Dying if they get COVID-19?

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…

CDC reports an increase in Childhood Obesity during the Pandemic

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…

Can Breathing Spread the Spike Protein?

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…
