BioNTech co-founder and chief medical officer Dr. Ozlem Tureci echoed comments made by Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla who said that people will likely need a third shot of the two-dose Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine as immunity against the virus wanes. She also expects that people will need to get vaccinated against the coronavirus annually. On Wednesday, April 21, Tureci … Continue reading BioNTech co-founder echoes Pfizer CEO, expects people to get vaccinated against coronavirus annually
5,800 test positive, 74 die of coronavirus at least 14 days after getting fully vaccinated
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Thursday, April 15, confirmed some 5,800 breakthrough coronavirus (COVID-19) cases in the U.S. A breakthrough COVID-19 case is defined as someone who has detectable levels of SARS-CoV-2 – the virus that causes COVID-19 – at least 14 days after getting fully vaccinated against the disease. Nearly 400 breakthrough cases required … Continue reading 5,800 test positive, 74 die of coronavirus at least 14 days after getting fully vaccinated
Mutated coronavirus strain in India could kill all efforts at creating a vaccine
An unusual strain of coronavirus that was isolated in India has been found to contain a strange mutation that experts warn could completely derail all efforts to develop a vaccine for the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) at large. Researchers from both Australia and Taiwan are warning that this mutated strain of coronavirus follows a much different pathway when … Continue reading Mutated coronavirus strain in India could kill all efforts at creating a vaccine
Post-vaccine variants: India discovers new “double mutant” Wuhan coronavirus strain
Indian scientists have discovered a “double mutant strain” of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) in their country. An Indian virologist stated that the variant has raised alarm bells because it could bypass the immune system and become more infectious. The variant features two mutations coming together in the same virus. Speaking to the BBC, Ashoka University virologist Dr. Shahid Jameel explains that this double mutation … Continue reading Post-vaccine variants: India discovers new “double mutant” Wuhan coronavirus strain
Big Pharma companies begin push for coronavirus booster shots, with no end in sight
Two shots may not be enough for those who received the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccines. Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said people who’ve gotten both doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech jab would likely need a third shot within 12 months and might need an annual shot thereafter. “There are vaccines … like polio that one dose is enough, … Continue reading Big Pharma companies begin push for coronavirus booster shots, with no end in sight
International scientists and researchers call for more rigorous investigation into the origins of coronavirus
On April 7, a group of international scientists and researchers called for a more rigorous investigation into the origins of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19). This came after China and the World Health Organization (WHO) released a report last week concluding that the virus most likely came from wildlife instead of a laboratory. The joint study by China and the WHO said … Continue reading International scientists and researchers call for more rigorous investigation into the origins of coronavirus
Immunity to the coronavirus lasts at least 8 months after infection, study says
A study published in February in the journal Science shows that immunity to the Wuhan coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) lasts at least eight months after a person has contracted COVID-19. This finding is an optimistic sign that immunity can probably last for many years. “There was a lot of concern originally that this virus might not induce much memory,” Shane Crotty, an infectious disease … Continue reading Immunity to the coronavirus lasts at least 8 months after infection, study says
Former CDC head believes coronavirus “escaped” from Wuhan lab
Robert Redfield, former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), said in an interview with CNN on Friday, March 26, that he believes the coronavirus escaped from a laboratory in Wuhan, China. Redfield said that as a virologist, he wasn’t convinced that SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, was already so contagious when it jumped directly from a bat to … Continue reading Former CDC head believes coronavirus “escaped” from Wuhan lab
Houston physician warns Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines don’t provide immunity against coronavirus
A physician in Houston, Texas aired his concerns over the mRNA technology used to make the Pfizer and Moderna Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccines. In a video posted to Rumbleon March 15, Dr. Steve Hotze asserted that the first two jabs made available to the Americans don’t really provide immunity against COVID-19. Hotze’s assertions may help explain why the Food and … Continue reading Houston physician warns Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines don’t provide immunity against coronavirus
WHO investigators say it’s extremely unlikely the coronavirus entered Wuhan through frozen foods
World Health Organization (WHO) investigators said it was extremely unlikely that the first cases of coronavirus identified in Wuhan in 2019 had entered the city through frozen or refrigerated goods. Frozen foods from the Huanan seafood market in Wuhan had tested positive for coronavirus, leading to a Chinese theory that the coronavirus was brought to the city through frozen … Continue reading WHO investigators say it’s extremely unlikely the coronavirus entered Wuhan through frozen foods
