Blood samples from recovered patients suggest a powerful, long-lasting immune response, researchers reported. How long might immunity to the coronavirus last? Years, maybe even decades, according to a new study — the most hopeful answer yet to a question that has shadowed plans for widespread vaccination. Eight months after infection, most people who have recovered still…

Cell Research reports “Increased IL-1β activation, the culprit not only for defective insulin secretion but also for insulin resistance?”
Regardless of the precise underlying mechanism, an impressive number of genetic animal models now demonstrate a role for the inflammasome in mediating IL-1β-induced insulin resistance. This is further supported by earlier intervention studies showing that IL-1 blockade in animal models of diabetes improved both insulin secretion and sensitivity. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3193499/
PeerJ reports “Positive association between COVID-19 deaths and influenza vaccination rates in elderly people worldwide”
The results showed a positive association between COVID-19 deaths and IVR of people ≥65 years-old. There is a significant increase in COVID-19 deaths from eastern to western regions in the world. Further exploration is needed to explain these findings, and additional work on this line of research may lead to prevention of deaths associated with…
Shiraz University of Medical Sciences reports “significant relationship between mercury concentration and autism”
There is a likelihood of a possible relationship between the concentrations of copper, lead, and mercury and autism. The present review was carried out to determine the relationship between the concentrations of these elements and autism by meta-analysis. Conclusion: There is, nevertheless, a significant relationship between mercury concentration and autism. Thus, the concentration of mercury can…
Journal of Translational Autoimmunity reports “Pathogenic priming likely contributes to serious and critical illness and mortality in COVID-19 via autoimmunity”
Homology between human and viral proteins is an established factor in viral- or vaccine-induced autoimmunity. Failure of SARS and MERS vaccines in animal trials involved pathogenesis consistent with an immunological priming that could involve autoimmunity in lung tissues due to previous exposure to the SARS and MERS spike protein. Exposure pathogenesis to SARS-CoV-2 in COVID-19…
GreenMedinfo reports “Studies Question Transmission of 1918 Spanish Flu”
The 1918 Spanish flu is said to have been one of the most highly virulent, contagious diseases of all time, but when researchers attempted to spread it from person to person — by directly spraying “infectious” secretions into people’s noses, eyes and throats — no one got sick. https://www.greenmedinfo.com/blog/studies-question-transmission-1918-spanish-flu
Washington University reports “Boosting immune system a potential treatment strategy for COVID-19”
New findings from a team of researchers led by scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis point to another theory and suggest that patients become ill because their immune systems can’t do enough to protect them from the virus, landing them in intensive care units. They suggest that boosting immunity could be…
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
Physicians for Informed Consent reports “Aluminum in Vaccines: What Parents Need To Know”
“The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us that the public is very interested in weighing the risks of infectious diseases versus the risks of vaccines,” said Dr. Shira Miller, PIC founder and president. “Parents and the public must become knowledgeable about aluminum in vaccines because even though it is used as an adjuvant in many vaccines,…
Georgia Institute of Technology reports “The Largest Unethical Medical Experiment in Human History”
This monograph describes the largest unethical medical experiment in human history: the implementation and operation of non-ionizing non-visible EMF radiation (hereafter called wireless radiation) infrastructure for communications, surveillance, weaponry, and other applications. It is unethical because it violates the key ethical medical experiment requirement for “informed consent” by the overwhelming majority of the participants. The…
