As lockdowns have saved individuals at residence and out of medical services, toddler vaccination charges have dropped. As you may count on, that is dangerous information for the drug business, which is probably going why they’ve began selling baseless claims that childhood vaccinations may stop COVID-19 deaths.
Baseless Claims Seek to Bolster Vaccine Uptake
There’s completely no proof for this, but, in March 2020, they began pushing the TB vaccine, claiming it’d “steel the immune system” in opposition to SARS-CoV-2. As reported by Science:1
“Researchers in four countries will soon start a clinical trial of an unorthodox approach to the new coronavirus. They will test whether a century-old vaccine against tuberculosis (TB), a bacterial disease, can rev up the human immune system in a broad way, allowing it to better fight the virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 and, perhaps, prevent infection with it altogether.”
In April 2020, the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine was touted as a “major breakthrough” in opposition to COVID-19. The British Express reported:2
“Researchers on the University of Cambridge stated the injection may stop extreme signs in individuals who have had it as a result of the rubella virus has an identical construction to the coronavirus …
When they in contrast the rubella virus and the coronavirus the researchers discovered that they had been 29 % an identical … The researchers don’t have any proof that the MMR vaccine works on COVID-19 sufferers however they assured ‘a study is warranted.’”
In June 2020, it was the polio vaccine’s flip within the highlight. According to The Hill,3 tuberculosis and polio vaccines are being examined “for possible protection against COVID-19.”
Jeffrey D. Cirillo, a professor of microbial pathogenesis and immunology at Texas A&M Health Science Center, went as far as to state, “This is the only vaccine in the world that can be given to combat COVID-19 right now.”
Based on what? Based on vaccination charges in international locations reminiscent of Pakistan, “where most of the population is vaccinated for tuberculosis and death rates for COVID-19 have been extremely low.” That’s it.
Meanwhile, discussions and proof displaying the advantages of vitamin C and vitamin D — in addition to many different therapies — are banned and censored. This, regardless of important scientific proof truly backing their use and displaying the biology by which these vitamins and therapies can stop and/or deal with this explicit an infection. Talk about travesty.
The oral polio vaccine, by the best way, is now the first reason for polio paralysis on this planet, not wild polio.4,5 This is an inconvenient truth that’s fully ignored by most mainstream media.
Common Cold May Provide Long-Term Immunity Against COVID-19
In associated information, June 12, 2020, the Daily Mail,6 Science Times7 and others8 reported findings from a Singaporean research9 led by professor Antonio Bertoletti, an immunologist with the Duke-NUS Medical School, displaying widespread colds attributable to the betacoronaviruses OC43 and HKU1 may make you extra immune to SARS-CoV-2 an infection, and that the ensuing immunity may final so long as 17 years.
Exposure to coronaviruses accountable for the widespread chilly seem to permit your immune system to acknowledge and combat off SARS-CoV-2 as effectively.
In addition to the widespread chilly, OC43 and HKU1 — two of probably the most generally encountered betacoronaviruses10 — are additionally identified to trigger bronchitis, acute exacerbation of persistent obstructive pulmonary illness and pneumonia in all age teams.11 As reported by the Daily Mail:12
“They share many genetic options with the coronaviruses Covid-19, MERS and SARS, all of which handed from animals to people. Coronaviruses are thought to account for as much as 30 % of all colds however it isn’t identified particularly what number of are attributable to the betacoronavirus sorts.
Now scientists have discovered proof that some immunity could also be current for a few years as a result of physique’s ‘reminiscence’ T-cells from assaults by earlier viruses with an identical genetic make-up — even amongst individuals who have had no identified publicity to Covid-19 or SARS …
Blood was taken from 24 sufferers who had recovered from Covid-19, 23 who had turn into unwell from SARS and 18 who had by no means been uncovered to both SARS or Covid-19 …
Half of sufferers within the group with no publicity to both Covid-19 or SARS possessed T-cells which confirmed immune response to the animal betacoronaviruses, Covid-19 and SARS. This instructed sufferers’ immunity developed after publicity to widespread colds attributable to betacoronavirus or presumably from different as but unknown pathogens.”
In different phrases, should you’ve beat a typical chilly attributable to a OC43 or HKU1 betacoronavirus up to now, you might have a 50/50 probability of getting defensive T-cells that may acknowledge and assist defend in opposition to SARS-CoV-2, the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19. According to the researchers:13
“These findings demonstrate that virus-specific memory T-cells induced by betacoronavirus infection are long-lasting, which supports the notion that Covid-19 patients would develop long-term T-cell immunity. Our findings also raise the intriguing possibility that infection with related viruses can also protect from or modify the pathology caused by SARS-Cov-2.”
Other Studies Show Similar Results
Other research have additionally found that many seem to have prior resistance to SARS-CoV-2. For instance, a research14 printed May 14, 2020, within the journal Cell, discovered 70% of samples obtained by the La Jolla Institute for Immunology from sufferers who had recovered from delicate instances of COVID-19, in addition to 40% to 60% of people that had not been uncovered to the virus, had resistance to SARS-CoV-2 on the T-cell degree.
According to the authors, this implies there’s “cross-reactive T cell recognition between circulating ‘common cold’ coronaviruses and SARS-CoV-2.” Like Bertoletti’s research above, the Cell research discovered that publicity to coronaviruses accountable for the widespread chilly seem to permit your immune system to acknowledge and combat off SARS-CoV-2 as effectively.
May 14, 2020, Science journal reported15 these Cell findings, drawing parallels to a different earlier paper16 by German investigators that had come to an identical conclusion.
That German paper,17 the preprint of which was posted April 22, 2020, on Medrxiv, discovered helper T cells that focused the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in 15 of 18 sufferers hospitalized with COVID-19. As reported by Science:18
“The groups additionally requested whether or not individuals who haven’t been contaminated with SARS-CoV-2 additionally produce cells that fight it. Thiel and colleagues19 analyzed blood from 68 uninfected individuals and located that 34% hosted helper T cells that acknowledged SARS-CoV-2.
The La Jolla staff20 detected this crossreactivity in about half of saved blood samples collected between 2015 and 2018, effectively earlier than the present pandemic started …
The outcomes recommend ‘one reason that a large chunk of the population may be able to deal with the virus is that we may have some small residual immunity from our exposure to common cold viruses,’ says viral immunologist Steven Varga of the University of Iowa. However, neither of the research tried to ascertain that folks with crossreactivity don’t turn into as unwell from COVID-19.
Before these research, researchers didn’t know whether or not T cells performed a job in eliminating SARS-CoV-2, and even whether or not they may provoke a harmful immune system overreaction. ‘These papers are really helpful because they start to define the T cell component of the immune response,’ [Columbia University virologist Angela] Rasmussen says.”
Statistician Believes Majority Are Resistant to COVID-19
These research add help to the newest COVID-19 mortality fashions suggesting widespread resistance and prior immunity. Freddie Sayers, govt editor of UnHerd, just lately interviewed professor Karl Friston, a statistician whose experience is mathematical modeling, who believes prior immunity throughout the worldwide inhabitants is likely to be as excessive as 80%. Sayers stories:21
“[Friston] invented the now customary ‘statistical parametric mapping’ method for understanding mind imaging — and for the previous months he has been making use of his explicit methodology of Bayesian evaluation, which he calls ‘dynamic causal modelling,’ to the accessible Covid-19 knowledge …
His fashions recommend that the stark distinction between outcomes within the UK and Germany, for instance, isn’t primarily an impact of various authorities actions (reminiscent of … earlier lockdowns), however is healthier defined by intrinsic variations between the populations that make the ‘susceptible population’ in Germany … a lot smaller than within the UK …
Even throughout the UK, the numbers level to the identical factor: that the ‘effective susceptible population’ was by no means 100%, and was at most 50% and possibly extra like solely 20% of the inhabitants.”
These statistics actually throw the thought of social distancing being an unavoidable a part of the post-COVID-19 “new normal” into query. What’s extra, as soon as smart behaviors reminiscent of staying residence when sick are entered into Friston’s mannequin, the impact of lockdown efforts vanish altogether, so world lockdowns had been possible fully pointless within the first place.
Nobel-Prize Winning Scientist Debunks Growth Projections
Michael Levitt,22 a professor of structural biology on the Stanford School of Medicine who obtained the Nobel Prize in 2013 for his growth of multiscale fashions for advanced chemical methods, has additionally offered robust proof that helps Friston’s mannequin.
According to Levitt, statistical knowledge reveals a mathematical sample that has stayed constant whatever the authorities interventions carried out. While early fashions predicted an exponential explosion of COVID-19 deaths, these predictions by no means materialized. As reported by Sayers within the video above:
“After round a two-week exponential development of instances (and, subsequently, deaths) some type of break kicks in, and development begins slowing down. The curve rapidly turns into ‘sub-exponential.’ This could look like a technical distinction, however its implications are profound.
The ‘unmitigated’ situations modelled by (amongst others) Imperial College, and which tilted governments internationally into drastic motion, relied on a presumption of continued exponential development …
But Professor Levitt’s level is that that hasn’t truly occurred anyplace, even in international locations which have been comparatively lax of their responses.”
Levitt believes prior immunity performs a major function in why we merely don’t see an exponential development sample of COVID-19 deaths, and that definitely appears to make sense. A majority of individuals merely aren’t (and weren’t) inclined to the illness within the first place.
He tells Sayers the indiscriminate lockdowns carried out all over the world had been “a huge mistake.” A extra rational method would have been to guard and isolate the aged, who’re by far probably the most susceptible and make up the majority of COVID-19 deaths all over the world.
Hopefully, these knowledge is not going to be swept underneath the rug if or when a second wave of COVID-19 emerges this fall. Making that mistake as soon as is dangerous sufficient. Let us not repeat it.
Last however not least, to bolster your immune system and decrease your threat of COVID-19 an infection sooner or later, make sure you observe the directions given in “Your Vitamin D Level Must Reach 60 ng/mL Before the Second Wave.”
