The symptoms of COVID-19 may very well be eldritch horrors. In most cases, it can appear as cough, fever, chills and headache. But in severe cases, it can cause acute kidney failure and multiple organ damage – strange symptoms for what’s known as mainly a respiratory infection. How COVID-19 causes the latter, in particular, was the focus … Continue reading The coronavirus may actually be a vascular – and not a respiratory – disease
UK study shows COVID-19 antibodies fade quickly, rendering vaccines pointless
COVID-19 has proven time and time again that it’s unlike any other illness society has faced, and a new study shows that preventing the disease is going to be incredibly challenging, as infections do not give people long-term immunity to the disease as many had hoped. This is according to a study that was recently carried out … Continue reading UK study shows COVID-19 antibodies fade quickly, rendering vaccines pointless
Another study shows how quickly COVID-19 antibodies disappear
When the coronavirus crisis first began, there was a lot of hope that at least those who survive the disease will develop immunity to it and won’t have to worry about catching it again. However, it has become painfully apparent that it doesn’t work that way at all. In fact, a trio of studies that … Continue reading Another study shows how quickly COVID-19 antibodies disappear
Moderna coronavirus vaccine causes side effects in over 50% of patients; antibodies disappear in 2-3 months, rendering the vaccine pointless
The widely-hyped Moderna coronavirus vaccine caused adverse events (side effects) in over 50% of clinical trial participants, including, “fatigue, chills, headache, myalgia, and pain at the injection site.” While it generates antibodies in the short term, new studies indicate those antibodies fade very quickly, rendering the vaccine pointless in the face of the coronavirus pandemic. … Continue reading Moderna coronavirus vaccine causes side effects in over 50% of patients; antibodies disappear in 2-3 months, rendering the vaccine pointless
Doubts raised on effectiveness of coronavirus antibody testing in the UK
Rapid antibody tests have been hailed as an effective way to check for Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) infection for anyone who needs immediate results. Experts in the U.K., however, have warned that antibody tests are not reliable enough while questioning the use of wide-scale testing to influence public behavior. According to a review of studies conducted by Cochrane, … Continue reading Doubts raised on effectiveness of coronavirus antibody testing in the UK
People with mild symptoms can develop immunity against coronavirus, says research
French researchers have found that even mild cases of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) can produce antibodies in almost all patients. In addition, they reveal that the patient’s defenses against the virus increase as he starts recovery. The report, which is posted on the medRxiv server, adds evidence that people who have recovered from COVID-19 could acquire some degree … Continue reading People with mild symptoms can develop immunity against coronavirus, says research
WHO inadvertently admits that vaccinations won’t work against coronavirus
In trying to keep the pandemic going for as long as possible, it would seem, the World Health Organization (WHO) is insistent that developing natural immunity to the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) may not be possible, and that society’s only hope is a vaccine. But if natural immunity is out of the question, then why would vaccine-induced immunity … Continue reading WHO inadvertently admits that vaccinations won’t work against coronavirus
Is there really any such thing as “immunity” to the coronavirus?
There has been a lot of talk lately about what it means to develop immunity to the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19). But is there really any such thing? According to researchers from Columbia University in Manhattan, some people are developing multiple instances of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) which, if true, means that immunity to the virus is only … Continue reading Is there really any such thing as “immunity” to the coronavirus?
Scientists uncertain whether recovered coronavirus patients gain immunity
Even as scientists uncover more about COVID-19, they remain uncertain about whether patients who’ve recovered from the disease gain immunity from it. A number of conflicting reports and studies on the subject have come out, prompting experts to call for more study into the matter.For RNA-based viruses such as the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus that causes COVID-19, it usually takes … Continue reading Scientists uncertain whether recovered coronavirus patients gain immunity
