Etobicoke gym bans vaccinated people



"For the safety of our members, the Fearless Boxing Club will no longer be accepting those who received the experimental Covid vaccine," gym co-founder Mohammed Abedeen said in an Instagram story.

It's a stunt.

Wow. I had no idea any area would be that low. Most people there must have something in common, it's not simply by chance



Seoul, what do you think? What is the common thread  .. other than idiocy?

Alberta's two largest cities are about eighty per cent or more now with at least one dose..



Young people in ruaral areas are the least likely to be vaccinated.

Oravax Medical, a company focused on developing ways to deliver drugs by mouth, is preparing to begin clinical trials of its oral Covid-19 vaccine in Israel after getting the green light from the review board at Ichilov Hospital, Tel Aviv's main hospital.



The trials—pending recruitment and final approval from the country's health ministry in coming weeks—will initially serve as a "proof of concept" for the capsule vaccine, said Nadav Kidron, CEO of Oravax's parent company Oramed Pharmaceuticals, in an interview with The Jerusalem Post.  



The first trial will involve 24 unvaccinated volunteers, each taking one or two pills, and will investigate the vaccine's safety and indicators of immunity, moving on to larger Phase 3 trials to demonstrate efficacy if successful.



The vaccine should be "much more resistant to Covid-19 variants," Kidron said, as it trains the immune system against three viral proteins instead of the single protein targeted by Pfizer and Moderna shots.



Oravax is also developing the capsule as a booster for people who have been vaccinated against Covid-19 before, though its plans to test this are unclear

If people don't want a needle, maybe they'll take a vaccine orally.

What are you asking the Seoul brother? Are you asking him so such a small percentage of people in the far Northern part of Alberta are not getting vaccinated?

A sudden jump in the post-COVID-19 vaccination death reports is not correct and was the result of an "error," according to a U.S. health agency.



The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Friday said a passive reporting system it runs with the Food and Drug Administration had received 12,313 reports of death among those who received a COVID-19 vaccine.



That was a sharp increase from the previous number of reports, 6,079.



The jump would have effectively doubled the percentage of post-vaccination death reports, from 0.0018 percent to 0.0036 percent.



But a CDC spokeswoman told The Epoch Times the number the agency has displayed on its website is not correct.



"It is double what it was yesterday and so it definitely is incorrect," the spokeswoman said. "We checked our stats internally and it's only 6,000. So someone doing an update misrepresented that or made a mistake, in other words."



"We caught it this morning ourselves and noticed that it had doubled suddenly," she added.

Alberta reached another vaccine milestone on Thursday as 75 per cent of eligible Albertans have received one dose. More than 61 per cent are fully immunized.

Many Canadians had long delays btween Pfizer doses.



Delaying a COVID vaccine's second dose boosts immune response

Older people who waited 11–12 weeks for their second jab had higher peak antibody levels than did those who waited only 3 weeks.



Facing a limited vaccine supply, the United Kingdom embarked on a bold public-health experiment at the end of 2020: delaying second doses of COVID-19 vaccines in a bid to maximize the number of people who would be at least partially protected from hospitalization and death.



Now, a study suggests that delaying the second dose of the Pfizer–BioNTech mRNA vaccine could boost antibody responses after the second inoculation more than threefold in those older than 801.



It is the first direct study of how such a delay affects coronavirus antibody levels, and could inform vaccine scheduling decisions in other countries, the authors say. "This study further supports a growing body of evidence that the approach taken in the UK for delaying that second dose has really paid off," Gayatri Amirthalingam, an epidemiologist at Public Health England in London and a co-author of the preprint, said during a press briefing.



Many COVID-19 vaccines are given in two doses: the first initiates an immune response, and the second, 'booster' shot strengthens it. Clinical trials of the three vaccines used in the United Kingdom generally featured a three- to four-week gap between doses.



But for some existing vaccines, a longer wait between first and second doses yields a stronger immune response. Delaying the COVID-19 booster shots could also expand partial immunity among a greater swathe of the population than could the shorter dosing schedule. On 30 December, the United Kingdom announced that it would delay the second dose by up to 12 weeks after the first.



To determine whether the delay paid off, Amirthalingam and her colleagues studied 175 vaccine recipients older than 80 who received their second dose of the Pfizer vaccine either 3 weeks or 11–12 weeks after the first dose. The team measured recipients' levels of antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and assessed how immune cells called T cells, which can help to maintain antibody levels over time, responded to vaccination.



Peak antibody levels were 3.5 times higher in those who waited 12 weeks for their booster shot than were those in people who waited only 3 weeks. Peak T-cell response was lower in those with the extended interval. But this did not cause antibody levels to decline more quickly over the nine weeks after the booster shot.

Doctors Raise Awareness on Ivermectin Treatment for COVID-19



In an effort to help end the pandemic, an international coalition of medical experts is holding worldwide events Saturday to raise awareness about the effectiveness of ivermectin as a treatment for COVID-19.



Organizers of the World Ivermectin Day say doctors and supporters of the inexpensive FDA-approved drug will host free online and public events in over a dozen countries.





Two nonprofits—Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care (FLCCC) Alliance and the British Ivermectin Recommendation Development (BIRD) group—who have been campaigning for the off-label use of ivermectin to prevent and treat COVID-19 say the event's focus is to let more people know that the antiparasitic drug can treat COVID-19, possibly end the pandemic, and help eliminate fear of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus.



"We have an incredibly positive and uplifting message to share: ivermectin treats and prevents COVID and it is the key to unlocking the never-ending cycle of pandemic peaks and personal restrictions and will help restart economies," Dr. Tess Lawrie, cofounder of the BIRD group said in a press release.



Lawrie is also a co-author of a peer-reviewed meta-analysis study published in the American Journal of Therapeutics that found ivermectin to be effective against COVID-19, the disease caused by the CCP virus. Lawrie and her team concluded with a moderate level of confidence that ivermectin reduced the risk of death by an average of 62 percent, at a 95 percent confidence interval of 0.19-0.73, especially when prescribed early.
