The inconsistency ….. – https://www.timesofisrael.com/israel-said-probing-link-between-pfizer-shot-and-heart-problem-in-men-under-30/
“Leaked Health Ministry probe raises concerns as 62 cases of myocarditis found out of 5 million vaccinated — most after second dose; 2 deaths, but no direct link established”
“Details from an unpublished Israeli Health Ministry report into the side effects of the Pfizer-BioNtech vaccine have raised concerns that there could be a link between the second shot and several dozen cases of myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle, particularly in men under 30, Channel 12 reported Friday.”
“The report said that 60 of the patients were treated and released from hospital in good condition. Two of the patients, who were reportedly healthy until receiving the vaccination, including a 22-year-old woman and a 35-year-old man, died.”
“According to the Health Ministry, 5,005,418 second doses have now been given, accounting for nearly 54% of the total population and more than 80% of the eligible population over the age of 16. Just under 58% — 5,374,276 — of all Israelis have had at least one shot.”
This is 10+X worse than the J&J issues – nonetheless I wouldn’t pause this vaccination for that level either – but let’s be consistent? Once again the risk is increased for the people not getting the reward given hospitalization and deaths are extremely low for under 30.
For vaccination per CDC and President Biden speech yesterday you get 2 additional freedoms out 14 from the mask vs. unvaccinated. Enjoy the maskless outdoor with small groups and friends….no indoor and also no discussion on making indoors like outdoors. There is a way to do that and monitor it. Remove/adjust economizers in HVAC add CO2 sensors and monitor for CO2 <1000 ppm. Then you can have an indoor that is essentially outdoor!
Noted several times that our over clean environment e.g. hand sanitizers and bleach will likely lead to unintended consequences – well here is one – more norovirus outbreak – the reason/hypotheis is interesting people stop washing hands with soap and water because of access to hand sanitizers – the hand sanitizers do not work as well on norovirus! Wash your hands the old fashion way! https://newatlas.com/health-wellbeing/hand-sanitizer-use-gastroenteritis-outbreaks/
“New data released by health authorities in the Australian state of Victoria is reporting a four-fold increase in gastroenteritis outbreaks across childcare facilities over the first few months of 2021, compared to the five-year average. Other countries such as New Zealand and Taiwan have also reported spikes in norovirus outbreaks over recent months.”
““I suspect many of us have become a bit complacent with handwashing and instead are slapping on alcohol-based hand sanitizer when we can, although this is anecdotal,” hypothesizes gastroenterologist Vincent Ho, in a recent article for The Conversation. “However, even though hand sanitizer is convenient, it doesn’t work as well against norovirus as thorough handwashing does.”
Researchers have long suspected alcohol-based hand sanitizers may not be as effective as soap and water handwashing in removing norovirus. A compelling 2011 survey of 161 long-term care facilities in the United States found those facilities using soap and water more often than hand sanitizers experienced less frequent norovirus outbreaks.”
“Peter Collignon, an infectious disease specialist from Australian National University, suggests hand sanitizers do not remove contaminants from soiled hands. He recommends people should not replace thorough hand washing with hand sanitizers, but instead says we should think about cleaning our hands before sterilizing them with alcohol-based solutions.”
India leads confirmation and deaths
Daily death in India likely will surpass US daily max.
WVA revised covid death downward -159
Miami leads confirmation – Wayne MI leads death for the counties in the US
Administered dosage is going down. The 2 doses are holding steady – showing people are going to get the 2nd shot.
