Operation Warp Speed brought to market in the United States two mRNA vaccines, produced by Pfizer and Moderna. Interim data suggested high efficacy for both of these vaccines, which helped legitimize Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) by the FDA. However, the exceptionally rapid movement of these vaccines through controlled trials and into mass deployment raises multiple…

ASTMH reports “COVID-19 Infection in the Human Reproductive Tract of Men and Nonpregnant Women”
SARS-CoV-2 is an enveloped non-segmented positive-sense RNA virus, classified as a beta coronavirus, responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic. Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), reported as a SARS-CoV-2 receptor, is expressed in different human tissues (lung, intestine, and kidney) and in the testis, ovaries, uterus, and vagina. This suggests a potential risk to the human reproductive tract…

PLOS One reports “How Many Scientists Fabricate and Falsify Research? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Survey Data”
The frequency with which scientists fabricate and falsify data, or commit other forms of scientific misconduct is a matter of controversy. Many surveys have asked scientists directly whether they have committed or know of a colleague who committed research misconduct, but their results appeared difficult to compare and synthesize. This is the first meta-analysis of…
Children’s Health Defense reports “Medical Racism: The New Apartheid”
Where there is a risk, there should be a choice This powerful documentary will show you: That medical racism has happened before, and why we’re raising awareness to make sure it doesn’t happen again. How racism in the drug industry impacts the perception of others. Why, when our bodies and risk are involved, it shouldn’t…
JCI Insight reports “Anti–spike IgG causes severe acute lung injury by skewing macrophage responses during acute SARS-CoV infection”
Newly emerging viruses, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV), Middle Eastern respiratory syndrome CoVs (MERS-CoV), and H7N9, cause fatal acute lung injury (ALI) by driving hypercytokinemia and aggressive inflammation through mechanisms that remain elusive. In SARS-CoV/macaque models, we determined that anti–spike IgG (S-IgG), in productively infected lungs, causes severe ALI by skewing inflammation-resolving…
Millions Against Medical Mandates reports “Treatments for Covid”
DID YOU KNOW… There are safe and effective treatments and prophylactics that can help obliterate COVID-19 without risky vaccines or disastrous lockdowns? Did You Know that the NIH (National Institutes of Health) COVID-19 treatment guidelines as of 12/29/20, shockingly continue to ignore the pleas of frontline physicians using safe and effective treatments based on high quality research?…
Newsweek reports “COVID Lockdowns May Have No Clear Benefit vs Other Voluntary Measures, International Study Shows”
Astudy evaluating COVID-19 responses around the world found that mandatory lockdown orders early in the pandemic may not provide significantly more benefits to slowing the spread of the disease than other voluntary measures, such as social distancing or travel reduction. The peer reviewed study was published in the European Journal of Clinical Investigation on January 5, and…
NY Times reports “Immunity to the Coronavirus May Last Years, New Data Hint”
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…
Reuters reports “T-cell study adds to debate over duration of COVID-19 immunity”
LONDON (Reuters) – A small but key UK study has found that “cellular immunity” to the pandemic SARS-CoV-2 virus is present after six months in people who had mild or asymptomatic COVID-19 – suggesting they might have some level of protection for at least that time. Scientists presenting the findings, from 100 non-hospitalised COVID-19 patients…
