The Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines did not impact overall mortality, a reanalysis of clinical trial data found. 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?

There is a headline on news stories saying: “The Omicron XBB.1.5 variant of COVID-19 is more likely to infect individuals who have been vaccinated, according to New York City health officials.” The NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene wrote on Twitter on Jan. 13: “Omicron subvariant XBB.1.5 now accounts for 73 percent of all sequenced COVID-19 cases in NYC. XBB.1.5 is the most transmissible form of COVID-19 that we know of to date and may be more likely to infect people who have been vaccinated or already had COVID-19.” Despite this, the department urged New Yorkers to get vaccinated and receive the updated COVID-19 booster shot, stating that doing so “is still the best way to protect yourself from hospitalization and death from COVID-19, including from these new variants.” It is written in a way that suggests there is increased susceptibility to infection caused by prior vaccination. Is that correct?

A viewer asks: “Creator, is there any truth about a new variant of the Omicron virus, named XBB, claimed to be the most deadly virus so far in the 21st century?”

You have told us that re-infection with SARS-CoV-2 can cause a 10% incidence of cardiac problems, and things will worsen with each re-infection because of cumulative organ damage. Will the tissue injury be less during each bout of illness if people are vaccinated?

A practitioner writes: “Went on holidays with my wife and son to spend time with my lifelong friend who I have known since we were 2 years of age. We stayed at his house as it was his 50th Birthday. We were there for a week and on the second to last day, I developed a cough. I didn’t think it was COVID as my friend had a cough for a few weeks and he had tested himself several times and was negative. I performed two sessions while I was away and would pray for protection when out in public but not every time. We flew back home and I tested myself with a home kit and I was positive. I performed a couple of sessions for my friend’s family and those who I came in contact with, so far none of them have tested positive. I sneezed twice in the car when driving my son and wife home from the airport. Two days after the home test, I had a test at a clinic and tested positive again, and I was wondering why it would be positive after performing several sessions. Does the COVID test detect the virus or a side effect of the virus? I am in isolation and only have mild flu symptoms.” What can we tell him?

Have the careful scientific studies, which essentially show no effectiveness of facemask use to prevent transmission of respiratory virus infections like influenza and COVID-19, been interfered with to discourage rigorous use and add to fears, or are there methodological problems, like many of the masks in use, such as cloth masks and surgical masks, being poorly effective compared to KN95 grade face masks?

A long-term COVID-19 clinical trial of ivermectin as a therapeutic was just suspended. The reason given was there were supply chain issues, and because it wasn’t really expected to show promise, they were dropping the study. Some physicians have suspected an ulterior motive, as ivermectin is readily available worldwide as a generic drug and being used all around the world to treat COVID 19. They also pointed out that the study itself seemed designed to fail. It was only using a 3-day treatment with a low dose of ivermectin. In addition, it was including people anytime up to 14 days post-diagnosis, which they argue put the drug at a disadvantage because there would be patients with advanced illness, and ivermectin is in use, successfully, as an early-stage therapy. Is there something suspect here?

A viewer asks: “Source Creator, if I have got this right, you are in general recommending the vaccines against the SARS-CoV-2 virus. But you also warn against the nanochip in the vaccines. Could you please explain the logic in this?”

A viewer asks: “Are the vaccines causing clots? The spike protein in particular which, contrary to expectations, appears NOT to stay localized to the injection site, seems to be entering the bloodstream of many people. This protein can reportedly connect with cell receptors of cells lining blood veins and arteries. The spike protein is said to “activate” blood platelets and trigger the clotting response. Is there an increased risk of blood clots for those who have been vaccinated, and if so, for how long will they be at risk?”

A viewer asks: “Should vaccinated people avoid flying, and for how long should they wait before resuming? Such an issue would suggest getting a booster shot will only enhance the risk, and lengthen the time people should avoid flying?”
