China Coronavirus

Olavo de Carvalho, the coronavirus-denying mentor of Jair Bolsonaro and Brazil’s radical right, has died in the United States from Covid. He did a lot of harm as many Brazilians refused the vaccine on his advice, so he was responsible for many deaths. As I’ve said before though these Covid deniers, anti vax nut jobs are a dying breed.

I see Sarah Palin got it, a good dose for a Dose.

The lead scientist on the Zoe Covid study has said coronavirus infections in the UK have risen, as children return to schools and a subtype of the Omicron variant of coronavirus emerges.

Most people who live to 74 have some health problems. They also can expect to live on through to 87 in the UK if they’ve made it to 74. Unfortunately many, many people in their 60s/70s with relatively minor health problems have had decades taken from their lives because of covid.

Sorry but it's 72 for men in working class Derry city where I am from. But then again we aren't like anywhere in North in terms of deprivation bar some parts of Belfast.

Sorry but it's 72 for men in working class Derry city where I am from. But then again we aren't like anywhere in North in terms of deprivation bar some parts of Belfast.

You're not understanding how it works.

Life expectancy at birth for men in Derry may well be 72, but life expectancy changes as you age.

For example, childhood mortality is a major depressing force on life expectancy. Think things like congenital anomalies that have life limiting impacts on children. But if you've made it to 74, then you're well passed these childhood dangers and can therefore expect a lifespan that is a bit longer than the average.

That makes hard reading. Whole host of factors nearly all linked to deprivation at play.

One risk is that Covid is not brought under control. The most urgent task is to make vaccination effective, which is a challenge to scientists, businesses and health systems. It is also crucial to gain and keep public trust.

Oh I understand, all my grandparents were dead by the time they were 72

Transparent decision making is essential.

At least three of the many companies making covid-19 vaccines have past criminal and civil settlements costing them billions of dollars
The BMJ supports vaccination policies based on sound evidence.
The same applies to treatments for covid-19
Data must be available when trial results are announced, published, or used to justify regulatory decisions.
There is no place for wholesale exemptions from good practice during a pandemic.

Covid-19 vaccines and treatments: we must have raw data, now
https://www.bmj.com/content/376/bmj.o102

Data should be fully and immediately available for public scrutiny

Pfizer has indicated that it will not begin entertaining requests for trial data until May 2025, (NCT04368728).

Moderna data may be available … with publication of the final study results in 2022
Datasets will be available upon request and subject to review once the trial is complete
Estimated primary completion date 27 October 2022 (NCT04470427).

Should the drug be approved, sharing will be considered

 Another quote from that BMJ article. I'm sure it will get shot down as an anti-vaccination article but it really isn't. Release the data.

   ' Pharmaceutical companies are reaping vast profits without adequate independent scrutiny of their scientific claims.33
           The purpose of regulators is not to dance to the tune of rich global corporations and enrich them further; it is to protect the health of their populations.
       We need complete data transparency for all studies, we need it in the public interest, and we need it now '.

Looks like the Mandatory covid 19 vaccinations for frontline nhs workers in England is being removed.

Glad to see that.
