The two vaccines, both based on messenger RNA (mRNA) technology, protected against deaths from COVID-19 but that effect was offset by vaccinated trial participants being more likely to die from cardiovascular problems, Christine Stabell Benn, a health professor at the University of Southern Denmark, and other researchers reported in April in the journal, Cell. On the other hand, vaccines that utilized adenoviruses, such as the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, had a favorable impact on both COVID-19 mortality and overall mortality, according to the reanalysis. The research analyzed data from randomized clinical trials (RCTs) reported by the companies that manufacture the vaccines. “In the RCTs with the longest possible blinded follow-up, mRNA vaccines had no effect on overall mortality despite protecting against some COVID-19 deaths. On the other hand, the adenovirus-vector vaccines were associated with lower overall mortality,” researchers said. Is this re-analysis accurate and trustworthy? What is the conclusion we should draw from this work?ClosedNicola asked 10 months ago • Coronavirus COVID-19235 views0 answers0 votesStudies are showing more and more evidence of increased anxiety, depression, and suicide of children due to the Covid-19 lockdowns and having only remote learning, with social deprivation. Is there more to the story? Were they being mind-controlled to undermine them psychologically?ClosedNicola asked 1 year ago • Coronavirus COVID-19151 views0 answers0 votesIt was just on the news that critics are calling out the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for withholding much data from the public about the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes data showing that natural immunity is protective, there is a low benefit for young adults 18-49 from the booster shot, the true low risk of COVID in children, occurrence of breakthrough infection in vaccinated people, and hospitalization data broken down by vaccination status that would show the percentage of vaccinated people not protected from infection. All are findings that question the need and wisdom of a vaccine mandate for everyone. The CDC offered the excuse that the public is simply unable to understand the data. Is that the whole story?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Coronavirus COVID-19232 views0 answers0 votesA new report from Johns Hopkins University researchers reviewing hundreds of publications, concluded that lockdowns in the U.S. and Europe, including school closings, workplace closings, and shelter-in-place strategies, had little or no impact in reducing deaths from COVID-19. The lockdowns during the early phase of the pandemic in 2020 reduced COVID-19 mortality by only about 0.2%. They concluded, “We find no evidence that lockdowns, school closures, border closures, and limiting gatherings have had a noticeable effect on COVID-19 mortality.” On the other hand, there were global negative impacts: “While this meta-analysis concludes that lockdowns have had little to no public health effects, they have imposed enormous economic and social costs where they have been adopted. In consequence, lockdown policies are ill-founded and should be rejected as a pandemic policy instrument.” This seems to be a human vindication of Creator’s perspectives about the intent of the pandemic and its course. Can Creator comment?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Coronavirus COVID-19194 views0 answers0 votesLianhua Qingwen Capsules (LQC), which are also used against seasonal influenza, have been part of China’s standard of care against COVID-19 since February 2020, and countries like Thailand and Laos have also embraced the product. LQC, composed of 13 herbs, is said to have “a curative effect in patients with mild symptoms and helps to relieve fever, cough and fatigue,” and may also “help prevent the disease from worsening.” Research shows patients who received LQC along with “usual treatment” had improved recovery rates compared to controls (91.5% versus 82.4%). They also recovered faster (seven versus 10 days). Are these data accurate and of practical significance for COVID-19 disease management?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Coronavirus COVID-19307 views0 answers0 votesJinhua Qinggan—this remedy for mild and moderate COVID-19 symptoms consisting of 12 herbs, including licorice, mint, and honeysuckle, helps remove heat and detoxify the lungs. According to the State Council:4“A comparative experiment showed patients who took Jinhua Qinggan granule tested negative for coronavirus 2.5 days earlier than a group that did not take it. The group treated with the granule also took eight days to show improvement, while the other group took 10.3 days.” Are these data accurate and of practical significance for COVID-19 disease management?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Coronavirus COVID-19266 views0 answers0 votesAre there more promising Traditional Chinese medicine approaches under study that will be forthcoming to help better control the pandemic?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Coronavirus COVID-19293 views0 answers0 votesStudies by South African scientists of the AstraZeneca-Oxford vaccine against COVID-19 showed minimal efficacy in preventing mild and moderate cases of the new variant, which added to the mounting evidence that the B.1.351 variant makes current vaccines less effective. Is that truly the case, or are the milder cases actually patients who would have had very severe illness without having taken the vaccine, because the new mutant is being artificially introduced at much higher concentrations and is not really more infectious or lethal?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Coronavirus COVID-19352 views0 answers0 votes
