El-Deiry showed that SARS-CoV-2 spike protein inhibits tumor suppressor gene p53. The media is promoting the speculation this may explain a rise in cancer starting a year after the beginning of the pandemic, when vaccines based on mRNA spike protein production in the body became available. Is this a significant downside of the vaccines?ClosedNicola asked 3 months ago • Coronavirus COVID-1985 views0 answers0 votesThe Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines did not impact overall mortality, a reanalysis of clinical trial data found. The two vaccines, both based on messenger RNA (mRNA) technology, protected against deaths from COVID-19 but that effect was offset by vaccinated trial participants being more likely to die from cardiovascular problems, Christine Stabell Benn, a health professor at the University of Southern Denmark, and other researchers reported in April in the journal, Cell. On the other hand, vaccines that utilized adenoviruses, such as the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, had a favorable impact on both COVID-19 mortality and overall mortality, according to the reanalysis. The research analyzed data from randomized clinical trials (RCTs) reported by the companies that manufacture the vaccines. “In the RCTs with the longest possible blinded follow-up, mRNA vaccines had no effect on overall mortality despite protecting against some COVID-19 deaths. On the other hand, the adenovirus-vector vaccines were associated with lower overall mortality,” researchers said. Is this re-analysis accurate and trustworthy? What is the conclusion we should draw from this work?ClosedNicola asked 1 year ago • Coronavirus COVID-19311 views0 answers0 votesA viewer’s relative got “double-vaxxed,” and has since developed lower leg pains and wishes now that he never got vaxxed. Is this issue from the vaccine?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Healing Modalities174 views0 answers0 votesThere is a headline on news stories saying: “The Omicron XBB.1.5 variant of COVID-19 is more likely to infect individuals who have been vaccinated, according to New York City health officials.” The NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene wrote on Twitter on Jan. 13: “Omicron subvariant XBB.1.5 now accounts for 73 percent of all sequenced COVID-19 cases in NYC. XBB.1.5 is the most transmissible form of COVID-19 that we know of to date and may be more likely to infect people who have been vaccinated or already had COVID-19.” Despite this, the department urged New Yorkers to get vaccinated and receive the updated COVID-19 booster shot, stating that doing so “is still the best way to protect yourself from hospitalization and death from COVID-19, including from these new variants.” It is written in a way that suggests there is increased susceptibility to infection caused by prior vaccination. Is that correct?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Coronavirus COVID-19191 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “Creator, is there any truth about a new variant of the Omicron virus, named XBB, claimed to be the most deadly virus so far in the 21st century?”ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Coronavirus COVID-19388 views0 answers0 votesRecent studies by Stephanie Seneff, et al., in Food and Chemical Toxicology, reported that people receiving the Covid-19 vaccine showed impaired Type I interferon signaling which lowers their immunity to infection. They list a series of other possible adverse health consequences as well, including cancer. Is this the case, and a significant liability, or are the data wrong or manipulated to discourage wide vaccine use?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Coronavirus COVID-19221 views0 answers0 votesThere are reports that infections with the new Omicron strains of Covid-19 are more severe in previously vaccinated individuals. Is that true, and due to impaired Type I interferon?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Coronavirus COVID-19194 views0 answers0 votesThe Covid-19 vaccines and boosters clearly do not prevent infection or transmission of the newer Omicron strains, B.4 and B.5. Now, with the possibility of vaccination causing more severe symptoms with the new strains, is it time to retire the vaccines?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Coronavirus COVID-19224 views0 answers0 votes
