Moderna vaccine production continues in EU amid contamination probe

Production of Moderna COVID-19 vaccines at a plant in Spain can continue, the European Union drugs regulator said on Friday, while it carries out its investigation of a suspected metallic contamination incident.

Bingo. We now know why metal objects stick to people after receiving the full vaccine. Also explains why I am constantly attracted to my audio gear.

I was stuck to my van for three hours, yesterday.

That is unfortunate. You should have.

But wait, when was the last time you did stay? Perhaps that has staying power and count?

One could use a thin fiber with UV attached down the throat. Cleaner.

I'm not sure what to think about this preprint. It seems to be contrary to most of the other information I've seen about natural immunity vs immunity from vaccines. The only thing that is consistent is the conclusion that previous infection followed by vaccination provides additional protection.

Either way, if I was to be infected I'd much rather get infected after being vaccinated than with no vaccine.

>>>Conclusions: This study demonstrated that natural immunity confers longer lasting and stronger protection against infection, symptomatic disease and hospitalization caused by the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2, compared to the BNT162b2 two-dose vaccine-induced immunity. Individuals who were both previously infected with SARS-CoV-2 and given a single dose of the vaccine gained additional protection against the Delta variant.<<<

Comparing SARS-CoV-2 natural immunity to vaccine-induced immunity: reinfections versus breakthrough infections

Background Reports of waning vaccine-induced immunity against COVID-19 have begun to surface. With that, the comparable long-term protection conferred by previous infection with SARS-CoV-2 remains unclear. Methods We conducted a retrospective observational study comparing three groups...

www.medrxiv.org

This sciencemag.org article points out limitations to the study, including the relatively low number of people infected and possible differences in the groups of people (e.g. vaccinated people may be more likely to get tested if they have symptoms).

>>>As for the Israel medical records study, Topol and others point out several limitations, such as the inherent weakness of a retrospective analysis compared with a prospective study that regularly tests all participants as it tracks new infections, symptomatic infections, hospitalizations, and deaths going forward in time. “It will be important to see these findings replicated or refuted,” says Natalie Dean, a biostatistician at Emory University. She adds: “The biggest limitation in the study is that testing [for SARS-CoV-2 infection] is still a voluntary thing—it’s not part of the study design.” That means, she says, that comparisons could be confounded if, for example, previously infected people who developed mild symptoms were less likely to get tested than vaccinated people, perhaps because they think they are immune.<<<

It seems to me that another factor is that the previously infected/recovered group does not include the people who died from COVID when infected the first time. Those with weak immune systems might not make it into the natural immunity group. This doesn't disprove the results of the study, but comparing natural immunity to vaccine based immunity is not an apples to apples comparison.

TMI, dude! TMI!!!!!

What does 'Three Mile Island' have to do with it ?

 

[Mikado463]

While I tend to agree, especially with the moronic factions on the far right and left of center, then perhaps the recent FDA approval will get the more level headed ones(closer to center) to get 'off their butts' !

While I do support the FDA approval here I still remember the certain words by a certain Harvard Professor......

"The FDA is protecting the big drug companies and is subsequently rewarded, using the government's police powers, they attack those that threaten the big drug companies. People think the FDA is protecting them, it isn't. What the FDA is doing and what the public thinks it is doing are as different as night and day".................

I had to go look who Herbert Ley was. He was FDA Commissioner for a year and a half in 1968-69. With regard to science & medicine, it was quite a different time. But politically, all too familiar.

Here's the latest risk level map from globalepidemics.org. It appears to me that many counties in Nebraska are not reporting new covid case data (It seems highly improbable that most counties in Nebraska could actually have zero new cases).

The vast majority of the country is obviously no where near herd immunity.

Risk Levels - Global Epidemics

RISK LEVELS First published in July 2020, our COVID-19 risk levels dashboard served as a tool for the public to track the pandemic in real time. As the pandemic has evolved and testing and reporting data have changed significantly, we have retired the dashboard as of December 2022. To explore...

Herd immunity is a myth, at least in this country. A third of our population wants Covid to spread and doesn’t care who it sickens or kills, even themselves.

There's actually a website for it now.

I won't post the link because no matter how delicious I find the schadenfreude, it would be a distraction from this extremely informative thread.

The manager of Lone Star Tack & Feed Inc. acts responsible, kodus to him.

>>>
Lance Olson, manager of Lone Star Tack & Feed Inc., located just outside of Calgary, said false claims circulating about the animal medication have brought the wrong kind of attention to his business.

"It's obviously not intended for human use in any way shape or form. It's meant to get rid of worms in horses' guts … so, these people see that ivermectin liquid, they search it, our website comes up and they give us a call thinking that we can just sell it to them," Olson said.

"If you don't know what it is, you probably don't have animals that you're going to use this on … given the circumstances surrounding this stuff it makes it very uncomfortable when people phone … so we've taken it off our shelves."

I am surprised he didn't elect to move to a more tribal governed society where he could have become his own government.
