    Great, the next hydroxychloroquine scam. Because, you know what else worked in vitro and did not do anything in live trial subjects? Yes....that.

    Meanwhile: real world study from S Africa showed that the Johnson and Johnson booster was 85% effective at preventing severe disease and hospitalization, in particular against the omicron variant. Separate data also showed that using the J&J shot as a booster after the Pfizer series provoked higher neutralizing anti-bodies and a greater T-Cell response than the third Pfizer shot did.

    2 doses of Johnson & Johnson's COVID-19 vaccine 85% effective against hospitalizations, South Africa study shows

    T cells fight off severe Omicron, says a new Dutch and South African study – Fortune

    Studies showing that while antibodies wane vaccine induced T Cells response remains strong, including agsinst Omicron, against severe disease.

    Unlike antibodies, T cells can target the whole of the virus’s spike protein, which remains largely similar even in the highly mutated Omicron.

    The study from the University of Cape Town’s Institute of Infectious Disease and Molecular Medicine looked at patients who had recovered from COVID or been vaccinated with shots from Pfizer Inc. and partner BioNTech SE or Johnson & Johnson. They found that 70% to 80% of the T cell responses they assessed held up against Omicron.

    Just a reminder, if you want to be taken seriously on scientific and medical issues, link to articles from journals or publications like JAMA, the Lancet, Nature or Scientific American to name just a few, not World News Daily.

    Use it prophylactically, since the birth rate's dropping, seems like a win-win.

    Glaxo-Smith-Kline and Vir Pharmaceuticals requesting an extention of the EUA granted for Sotrovimab (monoclonoal antibody treatment). This is the one MAB confirmed to remain effective against the Omicron variant. GSK/VIR is requesting to extend the EUA to a intramuscular injection vs an IV administration.

    GSK, Vir seek U.S. approval for COVID-19 antibody therapy as shot in arm

    Posting this for anyone looking for a decent presentation of information. From Dr. John Campbell's channel. I found his presentation much more informative and easier to understand than most of what I've seen in the MSM.....and also without the political stuff.....

    Pfizer announced in studies that it is effective against Omicron. Also in Israel they announced it is 92% effective.


    Pfizer’s New Covid-19 Pill Works Against Omicron in Lab


    Three separate, unpublished lab studies indicate Paxlovid is effective against the variant despite its mutations

    COVID-19: 92% of patients treated with Pfizer antiviral improved

    Of the individuals who received the treatment, 60% started to feel better within the first day, and 92% within three days, reporting a decrease in fever and general symptoms.

    Contracts are limited to CVS and Wal-mart, but most areas have at least one commited pharmacy.

    Also, health care providers are supposed to work directly with pharmacists to ensure no drug interactions, and if necessary, move to the more available, yet more limited use Molnupiravir.

    Israeli study confirming vaccination dramatically reduces instances of long COVID. Pretty sure that this is the first study of this type correlating the protective value of vaccination against long COVID.

    Association between vaccination status and reported incidence of post-acute COVID-19 symptoms in Israel: a cross-sectional study of patients tested between March 2020 and November 2021

    The fauc knows this but the fauciites would rather force people to take a new drug designed for the alpha variant. fauci takes Vitamin D and C. He knows a healthy lifestyle is the key.

    Disgusting that we allow propaganda to override the message of cheap simple ways to protect oneself.

    Booster up!

    So where is vaccination inconsistent with adequate levels of vitamin D, what does this have to do with Fauci? IAlso, you don’t need supplements to avoid a vitamin D deficiency. 15 minutes of sunshine will do it for almost everyone. But, not for immune compromised people, such as type 1 diabetics. You really have no idea what you are taking about. And your non-stop politicization of all things concerning the virus, vaccines and treatments just shows how truly lacking in knowledge you are. I truly hope nobody listens to you, for their sake.
