Quarantining people based solely on a “positive” PCR test is no longer lawful in Portugal, thanks to a court decision ruling the test to be inherently unreliable, and thus fraudulent for policy-making purposes. Citing Jaafar et al. 2020, the court determined that the PCR test produces varying results depending on an individual’s viral load, as well as … Continue reading SCIENCE FAIL: Portuguese court rules PCR tests are unreliable, unlawful “evidence” of alleged Covid-19 infections
Immunity developed from previous infection with endemic coronaviruses reduces COVID-19 severity – study
Previous infection with other coronaviruses may lessen the severity of COVID-19, reports a new study. Researchers at Boston University found that owing to genetic similarities with the SARS-CoV-2, prior exposure to other coronaviruses primes the immune system to mount a better response to the virus responsible for COVID-19. Although this doesn’t prevent people from contracting COVID-19, it does lessen the severity … Continue reading Immunity developed from previous infection with endemic coronaviruses reduces COVID-19 severity – study
Data audit shows devastating effects of UK lockdown
A recent data audit revealed an increase in deaths, rates of depression and anxiety, hotline calls for domestic abuse and the number of postponed treatments in the U.K. after it went on lockdown early this year. Local media outlet the Daily Mail collated data from over 130 studies conducted by academic and government institutions and charities to arrive at these … Continue reading Data audit shows devastating effects of UK lockdown
Mutation has caused the coronavirus to become more contagious but less deadly, says new study
Recent studies have shown that mutation of SARS-CoV-2, the virus behind COVID-19, is not only becoming more prevalent but is also more contagious than its original strain. This potentially makes the virus more virulent than when it first spread out in Wuhan, China — where the first cases of COVID-19 were reported. In fact, American scientists … Continue reading Mutation has caused the coronavirus to become more contagious but less deadly, says new study
Scientists find that the coronavirus has another doorway to infect human cells
The deadly pathogen behind the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic may have yet another doorway to get into human cells, suggest two new papers published in the journal Science. The teams behind the papers independently discovered a protein called the neuropilin-1 receptor, which they say is an alternative doorway for SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus – the proper name for the coronavirus behind COVID-19 – to … Continue reading Scientists find that the coronavirus has another doorway to infect human cells
CDC: Coronavirus 5 times deadlier than the flu for hospitalized patients
A new study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that patients hospitalized with the Wuhan coronavirus disease (COVID-19) are five times more likely to die than those with influenza. In addition to a higher mortality rate, the study also found that COVID-19 patients are at higher risk for 17 additional health complications than flu patients. … Continue reading CDC: Coronavirus 5 times deadlier than the flu for hospitalized patients
Polish gym rebrands itself as a “church” to skirt coronavirus restrictions
A gym in Krakow, Poland, is rebranding itself as a “church” to stay open amid the country’s lockdown orders. In an Oct. 17 Facebook post by its manager Marta Jamróz, Atlantic Sports Fitness announced that “a religious congregation of members [is] starting today at … the ‘Church of the Healthy Body.’” Jamroz also dubbed the gym’s trainers … Continue reading Polish gym rebrands itself as a “church” to skirt coronavirus restrictions
Study: People living in highly polluted areas have a higher chance of dying from coronavirus
A new study reveals that people who live in highly polluted areas are more likely to die from COVID-19, the disease caused by the Wuhan coronavirus. Researchers from Harvard University looked at the impact of particles less than 2.5 micrometers in size (PM2.5) from various sources, such as vehicle exhausts, on COVID-19 health outcomes. According to their findings, which appeared in the journal Science Advances, even … Continue reading Study: People living in highly polluted areas have a higher chance of dying from coronavirus
New video shows PROOF that AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine is made with aborted human fetal tissue
A new video overview of the COVID-19 vaccine label for AtraZeneca’s vaccine reveals that it’s made with MRC-5, a strain of aborted human fetal tissue. The video was originally posted to Instagram. It walks the viewer through a closer look at the packaging labeling of the AtraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, beginning with the ChAdOx1-S(recombinant) designation on … Continue reading New video shows PROOF that AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine is made with aborted human fetal tissue
Study: Coronavirus social distancing measures will trigger a flu surge next winter
Social distancing and other measures meant to slow the spread of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) this year could result in a surge of flu cases next year. This is according to a new study by researchers from Princeton University. According to the researchers, social distancing and other so-called non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) have helped slow down COVID-19, as … Continue reading Study: Coronavirus social distancing measures will trigger a flu surge next winter
