COVID-19 / asymptomatic infection/ testing
« on: 06/03/2021 08:46:06 »
Is asymptomatic infection possible or is it myth? I've seen that many high end scientists say it doesn't happen, and Doctors would have learnt as much in their first year studies, but it now seems to be accepted by much of the medical community. It seems to me that the current phase of multiple testing of asymptomatic people, particularly children doesn't make any sense. Why, if you feel well, should you be tested for C19, or colds or flu or anything. Why not take it a step further.eg My leg feels fine but let's Xray it anyway to see if it's broken?

COVID-19 / Coid Vaccine safety
« on: 02/12/2020 15:35:30 »
I heard Chris on ITV today talking in favour of the Pfizer vaccine.
I've just read this and wonder what your thoughts are?
On December 1, 2020, the ex-Pfizer head of respiratory research Dr. Michael Yeadon and the lung specialist and former head of the public health department Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg filed an application with the EMA, the European Medicine Agency responsible for EU-wide drug approval, for the immediate suspension of all SARS CoV 2 vaccine studies, in particular the BioNtech/Pfizer study on BNT162b (EudraCT number 2020-002641-42).
Dr. Wodarg and Dr. Yeadon demand that the studies – for the protection of the life and health of the volunteers – should not be continued until a study design is available that is suitable to address the significant safety concerns expressed by an increasing number of renowned scientists against the vaccine and the study design.
On the one hand, the petitioners demand that, due to the known lack of accuracy of the PCR test in a serious study, a so-called Sanger sequencing must be used. This is the only way to make reliable statements on the effectiveness of a vaccine against Covid-19. On the basis of the many different PCR tests of highly varying quality, neither the risk of disease nor a possible vaccine benefit can be determined with the necessary certainty, which is why testing the vaccine on humans is unethical per se.
Furthermore, they demand that it must be excluded, e.g. by means of animal experiments, that risks already known from previous studies, which partly originate from the nature of the corona viruses, can be realized. The concerns are directed in particular to the following points:
The formation of so-called “non-neutralizing antibodies” can lead to an exaggerated immune reaction, especially when the test person is confronted with the real, “wild” virus after vaccination. This so-called antibody-dependent amplification, ADE, has long been known from experiments with corona vaccines in cats, for example. In the course of these studies all cats that initially tolerated the vaccination well died after catching the wild virus.
The vaccinations are expected to produce antibodies against spike proteins of SARS-CoV-2. However, spike proteins also contain syncytin-homologous proteins, which are essential for the formation of the placenta in mammals such as humans. It must be absolutely ruled out that a vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 could trigger an immune reaction against syncytin-1, as otherwise infertility of indefinite duration could result in vaccinated women.
The mRNA vaccines from BioNTech/Pfizer contain polyethylene glycol (PEG). 70% of people develop antibodies against this substance – this means that many people can develop allergic, potentially fatal reactions to the vaccination.
The much too short duration of the study does not allow a realistic estimation of the late effects. As in the narcolepsy cases after the swine flu vaccination, millions of healthy people would be exposed to an unacceptable risk if an emergency approval were to be granted and the possibility of observing the late effects of the vaccination were to follow. Nevertheless, BioNTech/Pfizer apparently submitted an application for emergency approval on December 1, 2020.
CALL FOR HELP: Dr. Wodarg and Dr. Yeadon ask as many EU citizens as possible to co-sign their petition by sending the e-mail prepared here to the EMA.

COVID-19 / Re: Has Covid-19 wiped out the flu?

It's not my hypothesis. It's fact. Did you look at the chart I attached?

COVID-19 / Has Covid-19 wiped out the flu?
« on: 26/10/2020 16:11:37 »
I was shown a chart the other day that flu stopped happening the day Covid started:
https://twitter.com/kilkelly/status/1320439987951849478/photo/1
My cynical view of this was that flu was getting lumped in with Covid 19 to keep the panic going.
But there are those suggesting that Covid19 has all but wiped out flu. Is that really possible?
I'm no scientist but that sounds like sci-fi to me.
Any thoughts anyone?

COVID-19 / Why do some people get C19 worse than others
« on: 28/07/2020 11:20:16 »
When you hear a healthy young man like Dr Xander Van Tulleken has a bad case of C19, you realise it's not just the old, the fat and unhealthy get it. As a layman I don't have the stats, but it seems that, if say 25% of tests are positive, and only 10 to 20% of those get it bad, it seems to me that there must be a special marker in those cases that the majority don't have. It can't just be random. Maybe it's low LDL as reported from China a while ago, or something else. Are the clever research scientists working on this?

COVID-19 / Anti-bacterial wipes
« on: 13/07/2020 11:45:55 »
Just discussing Covid19 with my wife's nurse. She said wipe surfaces with anti-bacterial wipes. I didn't want to disagree with her, but as far as I know they're fine for killing bacteria, but not for virus such as C19. What's the answer peeps?
Thanks very much
Thanks very much

COVID-19 / What's the current opinion on masks to reduce Covid-19 spread?
« on: 06/06/2020 16:12:43 »
What's the current opinion on masks? I seem to remember Chris on TV saying that most were of fairly useless.
It seems to me that the sudden surge of advice from the Gov't and WHO are kneejerk reactions to media pressure.
What bothers me about masks is that people with them seem to think they're not vulnerable and are very careless about distancing.

Physiology & Medicine / Re: Is there a behavioural switch that can be thrown to stop humans eating badly?
« on: 29/05/2020 11:47:50 »
What I primarily meant about eating things that are bad for us, was overeating carbs, particularly raw sugars, processed fats, and alcohol.

Physiology & Medicine / Is there a behavioural switch that can be thrown to stop humans eating badly?
« on: 29/05/2020 10:14:38 »
There's been a lot said lately about poor metabolic health (particularly insulin resistance) brought about by poor diet, and it being responsible for worse outcomes in Covid19, as well as diabetes, CVD etc.
Are we the only animal on earth, who seem obsessed with eating and drinking things that are bad for us?
Is there a kind of 'switch' in human genes that could be activated to stop us being so stupid?
Naive question I know but trust me I'm not a scientist!

COVID-19 / How to breathe?
« on: 28/04/2020 15:51:09 »
Maybe a bit of a naive question. Whilst trying to learn to sing, I was told to inhale though the nose, and exhale through the mouth. Does inhaling through the nose help to stop the virus from getting into the lungs?

Physiology & Medicine / Would infection with a different virus prevent infection with Covid19?
« on: 14/04/2020 10:48:26 »
If one has a viral infection of some other sort, are you less likely to get Covid19? In other words, If your blood and antiobodies (what ever they are called) are on heat dealing with another virus, does it make your system a less attractive proposition for Covid19?

Physiology & Medicine / Why does the body make 'bad' cholesterol
« on: 09/04/2020 10:00:17 »
Why does the human body make LDL 'bad' cholesterol? I'm sure it must have a purpose other than to enrich the makers of statins.
