It seems quite possible that the FDA, a third of whose funding comes from drug companies, is under intense pressure from those companies to be extremely conservative in its handling of hydroxychloroquine. If hydroxychloroquine is used widely and comes to be recognized as highly effective, the markets for expensive and patented COVID-19 medications, including intravenous drugs that…

Business Insider reports “We now have the best evidence yet that everyone develops long-term coronavirus immunity after infection — and it’s not just about antibodies”
Some early studies have suggested that coronavirus antibodies fade relatively quickly, but that doesn’t mean immunity vanishes. A new study found that all participants infected with COVID-19 — even those with asymptomatic or mild cases and patients who didn’t have detectable antibodies — developed virus-specific T cells. T cells identify and kill infected cells, and B cells create new antibodies. Those…
Everist Health reports “COVIDAge Risk Calculator”
The COVIDAge Risk Calculator™ estimates risk for complications of COVID-19, including risk for hospitalization, ICU admission, and risk of mortality. It is a key tool in providing awareness around COVID-19 and knowledge of an individual’s risk that could lead them to making more informed decisions about their health and lifestyle routines. https://calculator.covid-age.com/
CDC reports “Vaccine Excipient Summary” (What’s in your vaccines?)
In addition to weakened or killed disease antigens (viruses or bacteria), vaccines contain very small amounts of other ingredients – excipients. The following table lists substances, other than active ingredients (i.e., antigens), shown in the manufacturers’ package insert (PI)as being contained in the final formulation of each vaccine. https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/pinkbook/downloads/appendices/b/excipient-table-2.pdf
Open letter to Dr. Anthony Fauci regarding the use of Hydroxychloroquine for treating COVID-19
Dear Dr. Fauci: You are largely unchallenged in terms of your medical opinions. You are the de facto “COVID-19 Czar.” This is unusual in the medical profession in which doctors’ opinions are challenged by other physicians in the form of exchanges between doctors at hospitals, medical conferences, as well as debate in medical journals. You…
The Times reports “‘Dangerous’ to think masks will stop virus”
The epidemiologist in charge of Sweden’s coronavirus response has dismissed the scientific evidence for mask-wearing as “astonishingly weak” and suggested that making face coverings mandatory could backfire. Anders Tegnell, the face of his country’s distinctive light-touch approach to Covid-19, said it was “very dangerous” to believe that facemasks on their own could control the spread…
Dr. Tetyana Obukhanych reports “Is mRNA Vaccination Approach Sane in Post-Covid-19 Era?”
In summary, with serious gaps in published vaccine assessment, Moderna’s mRNA-1273 vaccine will likely fall short of delivering the long-awaited safe and effective reprieve from the COVID-19 fear narrative. https://www.tetyanaobukhanych.com/blog/is-mrna-vaccination-approach-sane-in-post-covid-19-era
Dr. Tetyana Obukhanych reports “Do scientists tell us what science tells us about Covid-19 vaccines?”
In 2012, Tseng et al. published a seminal paper in PLoS One describing the effects of several SARS-CoV vaccine candidates on subsequent challenge of research animals with SARS virus. Vaccinated mice developed anti-SARS antibodies and were protected from viral infection upon challenge. However, their lung showed a serious type of immunopathology in response to post-vaccinal virus exposure – pulmonary eosinophilic…
Children’s Health Defense reports “Nearly 400 Adverse Reactions Listed in Vaccine Package Inserts”
Package inserts are available online for all vaccines licensed in the U.S. In addition to containing bits of practical information for the clinicians who administer the vaccines, the inserts provide members of the public with one of their only opportunities to learn about a vaccine’s contraindications, warnings, precautions and—perhaps most importantly—potential adverse reactions. The inserts communicate the…
Children’s Health Defense reports “CDC and WHO Corrupt Financial Entanglements with the Vaccine Industry”
Our guiding mission is to stop the chronic health epidemics affecting children today. We believe vaccines that over-stimulate the immune system are one of the leading causes of these epidemics. As the 2013 IOM Report concluded in their Summary, (bottom of page 5), that the entire Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Childhood Vaccine Schedule has never been studied for safety,…
