Food for thought.



Europe's rejection of AstraZeneca vaccine caused its COVID-19 surge, CEO says



'In the UK, this vaccine was used to vaccinate older people, whereas in Europe initially people thought the vaccine doesn't work in older people,' claims the CEO



AstraZeneca CEO Pascal Soriot says he might have an explanation for the surge in infections engulfing Europe — not enough people took his vaccine.



In an interview on BBC Radio 4's Today program, Soriot said that differences in T-cell immunity between vaccines could potentially mean that those who received the Oxford/AstraZeneca jab had longer-lasting protection against COVID-19.

The data shows that there have been 17,596 breakthrough cases among the more than 11 million Ontarians who are fully vaccinated, accounting for 3.8 per cent of all lab-confirmed cases.



But it also suggests that the share of fully vaccinated people who end up in hospital is even lower, particularly among those under the age of 60.



Vaxxed Under 60 for past year

In fact, over the last year there have been just 83 people under the age of 60 who have ended up in hospital with a breakthrough case of COVID-19. Of those individuals, just nine of them have required treatment in an intensive care unit.



UnVaxxed Under 60 for past year

As a point of comparison a total of 8,355 unvaccinated individuals under the age of 60 have ended up in hospital with COVID-19 over the same time-period and 1,722 of them have required treatment in the ICU.

COVID vaccines save lives. The evidence is overwhelming.

Could this UBC infectious disease expert be right?



First Reading newsletter:

"Unlike measles or polio, COVID-19 is far too infectious and resilient to ever be tamed by vaccines alone.  Which is why, writing in the Toronto Sun, UBC infectious diseases expert Jennifer Grant says we need to shift to an "endemic" approach where we stop our "obsession" with case counts and instead focus on protecting the vulnerable and keeping hospitalizations low. She's also not too hot on masking and increasingly strict vaccine mandates. "Politicians need to abandon the quixotic quest for COVID zero, making many of the interventions intended to stop virus circulation irrelevant," she wrote."

Another treatment is coming.



Calgary company aims to disrupt medical research with new coronavirus treatment





Imagine this: you wake up one morning feeling something coming on. You go to your medicine chest to take a rapid antigen test to see if it's COVID. You get a positive result. So you take a couple of pills to stop inflammation and viral replication. You tell your boss you need to work from home. A few days later you're good to go.



This is the vision painted for me by Calgary-based company Skymount Medical . If you want to see the future for how to deal with viral outbreaks without masks, lockdownstheir vision as soon as January. They've identified a generic cancer drug and a generic anti-parasitic drug that performed at more than 90 per cent effectiveness in lab and animal trials, and they have begun human testing in Ukraine. They are now recruiting patients in California. If the generic drug combination proves as effective as they think, it will be cheap enough to be in everyone's medicine chest.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) revealed in an analysis that about 30 percent of health care workers in the United States remain unvaccinated against COVID-19. In some Canadian provinces more than ninety five percent are vaccinated.

Dunno what to make of that .. nor do I get why if true they wouldn't have known it long before



Color me skeptical, but it makes no sense to me from several directions .. I know, I know, they did an analysis

The Canadian numbers seem about right.

Yes. We are way ahead of the US.



Trump did the impossible in getting vaccines.  .. Biden & Doctor Death  make a great "don't get vaxxed" team

Compared to old Fauci, Theresa Tam is magnificent in her job.
