INDIA WANTS MORE PFIZER TESTING, SO PFIZER LEAVES INDIA​


Pfizer drops India vaccine application after regulator seeks local trial​


NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Pfizer Inc said on Friday it had withdrawn an application for emergency-use authorisation of its COVID-19 vaccine in India, after failing to meet the drug regulator's demand for a local safety and immunogenicity study.

The decision means the vaccine will not be available for sale in the world's two most populous countries, India and China, in the near future. Both countries are running their immunisation campaigns using other products.

Well, I guess they have to dump the stuff somewhere to get their money out of it....

India faffing about like the EU is and is therefore struggling like the EU.

Meanwhile, Brexit Britain has already vaccinated nearly a quarter of its people. No messing about.

WARSAW — A strain of the coronavirus discovered in mink on a farm in northern Poland can be transmitted to humans and vice versa, the agriculture ministry said on Saturday.

COVID-19 was found in mink in Kartuzy county late last month, in what agriculture officials said was the first such case in Poland, raising fears of costly culls in an industry that counts over 350 farms in the country.




“Data obtained from the chief sanitary inspectorate and last year’s experiences in Denmark and the Netherlands clearly indicate that also in Poland, this virus can spread from mink to humans and vice versa,” the ministry said in a statement.




Denmark’s entire herd of some 17 million mink, one of the world’s biggest, was ordered to be culled in early November after hundreds of farms suffered outbreaks of coronavirus and authorities found mutated strains of the virus among people.

In August, the Netherlands decided to order the closure of more than 100 mink farms after several employees contracted COVID-19.

Following the discovery of COVID-19 at the farm in Kartuzy county, Polish authorities said all mink there would be culled.

An elderly Italian woman has suffered horrendous side effects from contracting COVID-19.

The 86-year-old got COVID-19 and her fingers turned black with gangrene because the virus clotted her blood and cut off the blood supply to her extremities, according to a report published in the European Journal of Vascular & Endovascular Surgery.

The report said doctors had to amputate three of her fingers after she was diagnosed in April 2020.

New side effects of the virus continue to be found, many of them related to a “cytokine storm,” which prompts the body to attack both sickened cells and healthy tissues, according to the New York Post.




Last week, King’s College London researcher Tim Spector, a professor of genetic epidemiology, revealed one in five COVID-19 patients are reporting less common ills such as skin rashes, mouth sores and an enlarged tongue, which aren’t included in the CDC’s list of symptoms.

It's still not enough but it helps quite a bit. Same with ibuprofen.
Worfarin is dangerous if misused. I think the risks of prescribing likely over the phone and having someone die from a small cut instead of covid factor in. When my mom was on it, she had to do weekly blood tests and balance her vitamin K intake to keep her levels in the correct range. Also if I recall the first 48 hours on warfarin have the opposite effect and increase clotting chances. Most doctors usually add another thinner for that period. If you are dealing with this remotely as you likely would be with covid, I can see why they would not just prescribe it out of the blue.

I have thrombophilia. If I were in the 1 in 5 group with "a hole in the heart" I'd have died or had a stroke in my 20s. I did warfarin for 15 years before xarelto came along. Yup, weekly INR testing and no leafy greens. Youd need an INR of 10 (3 is ideal) to bleed to death from a small cut. As soon as a clot is found you go on warfarin and heparin without delay.

B.C. business owner posts sign banning masks from store​

Amandalina Letterio / Castanet 1 day ago
no-face-masks
A 'no mask' sign hangs at Kelowna's Sun City Silver and Gold.
'No face masks allowed' reads the sign at Kelowna's Sun City Silver and Gold on Bernard Avenue.
"It's a notice to people that don't know me that we don't want them wearing a mask in a store where there's silver and gold inventory on the shelves," says owner Steve Merrill.
"The first concern is that somebody walks in with a mask on and puts a gun to my head. My cameras in my store don't see through these idiot masks," he added.
Merrill says it's dangerous for any retail business with product on the shelves to have shoppers wearing masks.
"Sunglasses, make-up, whatever — this COVID operation is a shoplifter's wet dream," he explains.
Merrill says he doesn't wear a mask when he goes out, "I feel that my right to breathe fresh air trumps somebody else's right to be afraid of the cold that is the COVID flu."
Despite how he personally feels about masks, and the sign on his door, Merrill says if you come into his shop with one on, he won't stop you.
"If someone was truly sincere about it, it wouldn't be that big of a deal. If I recognized them and they were afraid of COVID-19, of course I'll allow them to come in, don't get me wrong," says Merrill.
Merrill tells Castanet that if government officials come by his shop to enforce mask wearing, he will point to the BC Human Rights Commission, which says merchants should take those who claim they cannot wear a mask due to a medical exemption at their word.
"What a great deal for a thief," he says. "Well, you're not getting into my store with a mask on."
Some jewelry stores in the Okanagan have been simply asking customers to briefly show their faces to security cameras upon entering, and return to shopping with their masks on.

Steve Hilton investigates origins of COVID-19, links to US commissioned research​


A bombshell investigative report from Fox News host Steve Hilton has shed all-new light on the origins of Covid-19, and according to the report, it has nothing to do with bat soup and everything to do with Dr. Fauci and ferrets.

Yes, ferrets.

Ferrets are those adorable-looking fury little weasels that many Americans keep as pets…and Dr. Fauci is that annoying little weasel Americans can’t get rid of.

And when these two weasels finally came together inside a research lab in Wuhan, China, something unthinkable occurred – a deadly and destructive pandemic was created and unleashed upon the world.

Whaddya know...FAUCI again.

Oh well, so much for the 4 mask death vaccine fear porn freaks ( Oh hi! Serryah! ) eh?
:)


BTW... gangrene has Many other real causes...I would suspect those long before covid... considering the KNOWN fakenews 97% inaccurate PCR tests ESPECIALLY in CUOMO type DEATH places like NEW YORK and ITALY.

Fauci Himself Admits Covid PCR Test at Over 35 Cycles Is Deceitful, Worse Than Useless​

"It's just dead nucleoids, period.”​


“…If you get a cycle threshold of 35 or more…the chances of it being replication-competent are miniscule…you almost never can culture virus from a 37 threshold cycle…even 36…it’s just dead nucleoids, period.”

July 16, 2020, podcast, “This Week in Virology”: Tony Fauci makes a point of saying the PCR COVID test is useless and misleading when the test is run at “35 cycles or higher.” A positive result, indicating infection, cannot be accepted or believed.


AS has been posted earlier, the directive is now that testing also has to include observation of COVID SYMPTOMS to be considered a true positive.

SERIOUSLY, You people have to stop with the fear porn.

The guidance warned against diagnosing someone as having the virus just because he tests positive if he does not present with symptoms of COVID-19.


Subscribe now.
January 22, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — In what some have suggested is politicized timing, the World Health Organization on Wednesday changed the protocol for COVID-19 tests, which will result in large reductions in the numbers of positive cases. The body took this action just one hour after Joe Biden was sworn in as president of the United States.

On Wednesday, the World Health Organization (WHO) issued guidance regarding the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test, which is being widely used across the globe in order to detect cases of COVID-19. In a short information notice, the WHO referred back to an instruction booklet for COVID testing, released in September 2020, noting that “careful interpretation of weak positive results is needed.”

The guidance warned against diagnosing someone as having the virus just because he tests positive if he does not present with symptoms of COVID-19. It also warned about the high risk of false positives: “The cycle threshold (Ct) needed to detect virus is inversely proportional to the patient’s viral load. Where test results do not correspond with the clinical presentation, a new specimen should be taken and retested using the same or different NAT technology.”
“As disease prevalence decreases, the risk of false positive increases.

The probability that a person who has a positive result (SARS-CoV-2 detected) is truly infected with SARS-CoV-2 decreases as prevalence decreases, irrespective of the claimed specificity,” the WHO continued.

An even more surprising admission followed: the document described PCR tests merely as an “aid for diagnosis” and did not place any greater weight upon the results of PCR tests. “Most PCR assays are indicated as an aid for diagnosis, therefore, health care providers must consider any result in combination with timing of sampling, specimen type, assay specifics, clinical observations, patient history, confirmed status of any contacts, and epidemiological information.”

The new guidance for assessing the results of PCR COVID tests effectively means that there are additional steps to be taken before reporting that someone has tested positive for the virus.

My mum has just phoned me and said she had the jab yesterday at Bolton Wanderers' University of Bolton Stadium. She and my dad were going to come round to visit me today - even though it's probably illegal - but they're not doing now because this jab is making her feel a bit ill She's shaking a bit. She said she's fine, though, other than that and that they'll probably come round tomorrow instead.

How COVID-19 'Vaccines' May Destroy the Lives of Millions​

STORY AT-A-GLANCE​

  • The COVID-19 vaccine really isn’t a vaccine in the medical definition of a vaccine. It’s more accurately an experimental gene therapy that could prematurely kill large amounts of the population and disable exponentially more
  • Since mRNA normally rapidly degrades, it must be complexed with lipids or polymers. COVID-19 vaccines use PEGylated lipid nanoparticles, and PEG is known to cause anaphylaxis
  • Free mRNA can signal danger to your immune system and drive inflammatory diseases. As such, injecting synthetic thermostable mRNA (mRNA that is resistant to breaking down) is highly problematic as it can fuel chronic, long-term inflammation
  • Many commonly reported side effects from the COVID-19 gene therapy “vaccines” appear to be caused by brain inflammation
  • Anyone with an inflammatory disease such as rheumatoid arthritis, Parkinson's disease or chronic Lyme and those with acquired immune deficiency/dysfunction from any microbial pathogen, brain trauma or environmental toxin are at high risk of dying from COVID-19 mRNA vaccines

Diabetic Amputations Soared Amid Italian Pandemic Lockdown​


Italian patients with diabetic foot ulceration (DFUs) suffered mightily during the height of the coronavirus pandemic in that country, according to a newly published study.

Amid a mandatory national lockdown, the rates of amputations skyrocketed at a hospital far from the hardest-hit region as many patients developed gangrene.

The findings offer critical lessons for the United States, said wound care specialist William H. Tettelbach, MD, of Western Peaks Specialty Hospital near Salt Lake City. "It's become more obvious that outpatient wound care is a critical care need for the community because of the risk of ignoring these chronic wounds and letting them remain open. We cannot let these services be closed down like some were when the pandemic started."

The study, led by Paola Caruso, MD, of the University of Campania Luigi Vanvitelli in Naples, appeared in Diabetes Care.


The researchers launched the study to understand how patients with diabetes and DFU fared during the height of the pandemic in Italy, where tens of thousands of people died, mainly in the northern region of the country. They focused on patients in the southern region who were admitted to the division of endocrinology and metabolic diseases at the Teaching Hospital at the University of Campania Luigi Vanvitelli.

The study compared 25 patients who were admitted from March 9 to May 18, 2020, with 38 patients who were admitted from a longer period between January and May 2019. The demographics of the groups are similar, with average ages in the early 60s and more men than women (21:4, respectively, in 2020 and 23:15, respectively, in 2019.)

The results reveal high numbers of emergent and serious cases in 2020. Compared with 2019, fewer were outpatients (16% vs. 45%, P = .028) and more were emergency patients (76% vs. 26%, P < .001).

Clinically, gangrene was much more common in the 2020 group, compared with the 2019 group (64% vs. 29%, P = .009), as was amputation (60% vs. 18%, P = .001).

The researchers determined that amputation was more than three times more likely in the 2020 versus the 2019 group (relative risk, 3.26; 95% confidence interval, 1.55-6.84) even though the 2019 period was longer. After adjustment for gender, the heightened risk in 2020 was 2.50 (95% CI, 1.18-5.29).

There was no statistically significant increase in the risk of revascularization.

"The COVID-19 lockdown may have had a detrimental impact on amputation risk because of the sudden interruption of DFU care and lower-limb preservation pathways, resulting in delayed diagnosis and treatment," the researchers wrote. "DFU is often characterized by progressive clinical course, which can rapidly lead patients to critical worsening of their ulcers."

They added that "the higher risk of amputation observed during COVID-19 lockdown confirms the need for proper and timely management of DFU patients to prevent dramatic outcomes responsible for a reduction of quality of life and increased morbidity and mortality."


The study authors didn't discuss why more patients seemed to have stayed home and not gotten proper care. It's not clear if they were scared to get treatment or couldn't obtain it because of the national shutdown.

FFS, the sun...just a prayin for UN truedoh!'s greta reset now trump isn't a presidentially significant source of readership. I can see why that chain is shutting down local papers left and right.

Contagious variant of COVID-19 now identified in all 10 provinces

A contagious variant of COVID-19 has now made its way to all 10 provinces in Canada, officials announced Saturday as the nation’s top doctor warned yet again of the dangers of lifting public health restrictions at this stage of the pandemic.

Prince Edward Island confirmed its first case of the variant that originated in the United Kingdom on Saturday in a patient who was first diagnosed on Feb. 4 and has a history of international travel.


“We’ve been bracing for this reality. This news is not unexpected. And in fact we are the last province to record a case of the U.K. variant,” Premier Dennis King said.

He noted that this case is one of only two that are active in the province.

“This is a great reminder for us not to take our fortunate and unique P.E.I. situation for granted. As we have seen in other provinces, things can change quickly. To keep doing the things we have been doing is of utmost importance,” King said, echoing advice long offered by Canada’s chief public health officer, Dr. Theresa Tam.

She’s been urging the provinces for weeks to keep strong public health restrictions in place, even as the spread of COVID-19 has slowed across the country.

She repeated that message in a written statement Saturday, citing the presence of variants of concern — the one that was first detected in the U.K., as well as others first found in Brazil and South Africa.


“We need to maintain the strictest vigilance in our public health measures and individual practices,” Tam said. “This will help to prevent these variants from reaccelerating the epidemic and making it much more difficult to control.”

Even so, Manitoba headed into its first weekend of relaxed public health orders after lifting a number of restrictions on Friday.

Officials there announced Saturday that there was a trend of “concerning case numbers” in the northern community of Cross Lake First Nation, prompting a new public health order for residents to stay in their homes or immediately adjacent areas.

A statement posted Friday on the community’s website said there were 45 active cases there, including 15 involving children.

Manitoba logged 99 new cases of COVID-19 on Saturday, as well as one added death.


Ontario was also gearing up to reopen parts of its economy following a stay-at-home order that was put in place in January.

Twenty-seven public health units will re-enter the province’s tiered, colour-coded system of restrictions on Tuesday, with just Niagara Region entering the grey “lockdown” classification which allows businesses to open at 25 per cent capacity.

The rest of the regions fall elsewhere along the scale that moves from red — the second strictest level behind the grey — through green, with lighter restrictions on businesses and gatherings at each stage.

Only Toronto, Peel and York regions will remain under the stay-at-home order in the coming week.

The province counted 1,300 new cases of COVID-19 on Saturday, as well as 19 more deaths linked to the virus. It identified 22 more cases of the variant first found in the U.K., for a total of 297.

Quebec, meanwhile, reported 1,049 new cases of the virus, and its death toll rose by 33.

Farther east, New Brunswick officials counted 16 new cases of COVID-19, while those in Nova Scotia added two.

Newfoundland and Labrador reported 26 more cases of the virus following a recent surge of infections in the St. John’s region. That sudden spike prompted the cancellation of in-person voting in the province’s general election hours before voters wer slated to go to the polls.

Public health officials also announced tighter testing and self-isolation protocols for rotational workers coming in and out of the province in a bid to bring case numbers back under control.

To the west, Saskatchewan reported 244 new cases of COVID-19 and four added deaths.

Alberta logged 305 new infections and 15 associated deaths in the past 24 hours. And Nunavut reported five new cases in the territory’s only active COVID-19 outbreak, in the remote community of Arviat.

There have been 264 cases of the novel coronavirus in the region since it counted its first case in November, and nine were active on Saturday.

I mean, all vaccines have effects that can weaken the user for a time but it's not supposed to be this lethal. The hospital made a poor judgement on who are not strong enough to take it.
