Is the Small Kingdom of Qatar About to Change Global Pandemic Policy?
Guy Hatchard Remarkably some scientists in Qatar working with counterparts in New York have undertaken a study asking vital questions. They decided to study only the unvaccinated. They found: “Effectiveness of primary infection against severe, critical, or fatal COVID-19 reinfection was 97.3% (95% CI: 94.9- 98.6%), irrespective of the variant of primary infection or reinfection, […]
Natural Immunity Is Not – And Never Was – Just a Right-Wing Conspiracy Theory
Jonathan Engler There was never any reason to expect that “natural immunity” – the protection acquired through infection by SARS-COV-2 – should not be similar to that acquired for other respiratory viruses humankind has come into contact with – robust, flexible and durable. Were it not, our species would have been wiped out many millennia […]
Duration of Immune Protection of SARS-CoV-2 Natural Infection Against Infection in Qatar
Hiam Chemaitelly et al. The future of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic hinges on virus evolution and duration of immune protection of natural infection against reinfection. We investigated duration of protection afforded by natural infection, the effect of viral immune evasion on duration of protection, and protection against severe reinfection, in Qatar, between February 28, 2020 and […]
No Jab, Lower Hospitalizations – Finds International Survey
Alliance for Natural Health An international survey of a health-aware, ‘Control Group’ that includes over 300,000 people who have chosen to avoid COVID-19 vaccination, shows participants place minimal burden on health systems through their strong reliance on natural immunity, self-care and the use of natural health supplements to help prevent or even treat COVID-19. Yet […]
Naturally-acquired Immunity Dynamics Against SARS-CoV-2 in Children and Adolescents
Tal Patalon et al. There are paucity of studies examining naturally acquired immunity against SARS- CoV-2 in children and adolescents, though they are generally the last group to be afforded the vaccine, and a significant portion of them are still unvaccinated. This study examined the duration of protection conferred by a previous SARS-CoV-2 infection amongst […]
Effects of Previous Infection and Vaccination on Symptomatic Omicron Infections
Heba N. Altarawneh et al. No notable differences were observed in the effectiveness against BA.1 and BA.2 of previousinfection, vaccination, and hybrid immunity. Protection from previous infection with variants other than omicron against reinfection was moderate and durable, but protection of primary-series vaccination against infection was negligible by 6 months after the second dose. Recent […]
Mask Mandates Linked to Increased COVID Death Rates
Joseph Mercola Data from Kansas show counties with mask mandates had a higher death rate than counties without a mask mandate; two other large studies found similar results, one that gathered data in Europe only and the other from 69 countries. According to a study in early 2021, face masks increase your daily inhalation of […]
Long COVID Could Be a ‘Mass Deterioration Event’
Benjamin Mazer … So much about long COVID remains mysterious: The condition is hard to study, difficult to predict, and variously defined to include a disorienting range and severity of symptoms. But the numbers above imply ubiquity—a new plait in the fabric of society … As experts and advocates have observed, the emergence of long […]
