This article highlights a new study showing that Nirmatrelvil, the active ingredient in Paxlovid, prevents an adequate adaptive immune response to the SARS-CoV-2 virus. In the study, the SARS-CoV-2-infected mice failed to develop antibodies, memory T cells, and B cells specific to SARS-CoV-2 on initial and second exposure to the virus. The K18-hACE2 mice used…
A new study aimed to improve vaccines for the COVID-19 epidemic. The researchers narrowed down the part of the SARS-CoV- 2 that makes it more infectious. However, in doing so, they made a recombinant virus that is more infectious and lethal. The study, Role of spike in the pathogenic and antigenic behavior of SARS-CoV-2 BA.1…
This article is unique because it is about a man whose Hodgkin’s lymphoma disappeared after he had COVID-19. Hodgkin’s lymphoma is a cancer of the lymphocytes. A common sign is enlarged lymph nodes all over the body. Case Report The patient is a 61-year-old patient receiving hemodialysis for end-stage renal failure. Before getting sick with…
This article is about the ability of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, to change the inner workings of the cells to promote cancer formation. It is known that some viruses can cause cancer. Some viruses can control an infected person’s genes, resulting in unrestricted cell proliferation leading to cancer. Tumor Viruses and cancers Human…
This article shows that combining two over-the-counter drugs, colloidal bismuth, and NAC, effectively prevents SARS-CoV-2 replication.[1] Even though the study used colloidal bismuth, the authors mentioned that other forms of bismuth, like bismuth subsalicylate, will work the same. Bismuth subsalicylate is the active ingredient in Pepto-Bismol®, while Colloidal Bismuth Salicylate (CBS) is present in De-Nol®…
This article features a study that shows how linoleic acid from intermittent fasting can reduce the chances of getting COVID-19. Background The SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 attaches to human cells using its spike proteins. After attachment, the viruses enter the cells and start replicating. The SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins can be in the open…
Professor Jeffrey Sachs chaired the Lancet COVID-19 Commission, which was created to help speed up global, equitable, and lasting solutions to the COVID-19 pandemic. Recently Prof. Sachs said something that created shockwaves. I’ll add one provocative statement. We could take it up later. It may shock you, it may not. Or you may say I…
This article discusses how ivermectin can prevent the binding of the spike protein to the blood vessel wall and potentially stop abnormal blood clots. The article, Four ways the spike protein rapidly forms blood clots resistant to break down talked about how the spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus can rapidly produce thick blood clots…
The FLCCC Weekly Webinar on April 13, 2022, featured Dr. Jackie Stone, who talked about her use of silver for COVID-19. She spoke of her experience with silver nanoparticles for COVID-19 at 24:58 here. What is the science behind colloidal silver against infections? A study published in the journal Antibiotics showed that colloidal silver is…
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. They are aged 63.9 ± 13.11 and were admitted to the ICU due to severe pulmonary symptoms. …
The Journal of the American Medical Association recently published a study from the Department of Surgery, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, on February 3, 2022. The research answered the question. How long do naturally acquired antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 virus last? Specifically, they focused on antibodies against the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the SARs-CoV-2,…
The clinical impact of maternal COVID-19 on mothers, their infants, and placentas with an analysis of vertical transfer of maternal SARS-CoV-2-specific IgG antibodies is a study from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. It is a preprint at medRxiv that came out yesterday. The research included 115 pregnant mothers with COVID-19 from December…
The COVID-19 virus attacks protective airway cells and how mouthwashes can stop it This article talks about a preprint study that came out yesterday at medRxiv. The first is from Yale University shows how the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19 infects the ciliated cells of the respiratory tract. Greaney and colleagues from Yale found that…
Moderna’s study shows the ineffectiveness of their shots against the Omicron and why they recommend a booster Moderna scientists published a study Serum Neutralizing Activity of mRNA-1273 Against the SARS-CoV-2 B.1.1.529 (Omicron) Variant: A Preliminary Report that came out yesterday as a preprint in medRxiv. They took blood samples from participants in their phase 2…
This article highlights a peer-reviewed study from the Imperial College of London. [1] The research answers the question, Why is it that not all people exposed to SARS-CoV-2 develop the disease? Is it possible that a previous illness from another coronavirus can protect against the SARS-CoV-2 virus? Is there a better alternative to spike-based vaccines?…
I received this question from GB, a reader. Dr. Santiano – thank you for your very helpful piece on the Bristol UK study about the impact of spike proteins on the heart. While you’ve explained clearly how that can happen from vaccination, why is this impact not so apparent from the coronavirus itself? If the…
“Out of life’s school of war—what doesn’t kill me, makes me stronger.” – Friedrich Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols, The mutations in the omicron variant allow it to escape the immune response, but its entry into the lung cells becomes impaired. This explains the higher transmission but lower mortality rates in South Africa. The higher…
Luc Montagnier is a Nobel Prize-winning French virologist for his discovery of HIV. Back in May 2021, Montagnier had an interview that went viral. He warned about the spread of SARS-CoV-2 variants if mass vaccination was done a pandemic. The RAIR Foundation reported the interview. Below are excerpts from the interview. How do you view…
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…
A previous article, Antibodies to COVID-19 can Exist in the Uninfected, talked about research from the Francis Crick Institute about how the antibodies formed against seasonal coronavirus infections can protect against the new coronavirus infection COVID-19. Aside from antibody production, the body’s adaptive immune system has other components in its armory. One of which is the…
