the unexpected hazards of being a statistic

 2022.6.22: pol/healthcare/
the unexpected hazards of being a statistic:

. there was a problem with exploding air bags that killed people

but they didn't have them disarmed until replacement

because statistically, if they did disarm the air bag

there would be more people dying from accidents

than there would be deaths from air bag explosions

because seat belts alone are far deadlier than

seat belts with air bags.

. but those statistics just show the cost to society;

what about the cost to my family

when they know I may never have died from an accident

but I did die from an air bag explosion?

T cells can reveal a covid infection even if antibodies waned

2021.8.4, 9.15: health/immunity/covid-19/

T cells can reveal a covid infection even if antibodies waned

9.15: summary:

. if you had a mild case of covid,

or it has been a while since you've been infected,

your antibody levels may be too low to measure,

but your T cells can still be measured

to determine if you've been exposed to covid virus.

. the CDC says you should get the vaccine

even if you have been infected,

so what's the use in knowing your status?

. you may be less likely to get sick again

if the vaccine doesn't cover some variants,

but the infection does cover the variants.

. you may want reassurance after vaccination

that even if the vaccine doesn't work on your variant,

you might still be protected by your infection.

. if you believe that, the CDC reminds you,

there are significant risks to getting infected;

not just death but also strange chronic illness;

so it's safer to get vaccinated than infected.

. even for children who are prone to having

bad reactions to the vaccine,

there are even more reactions to the virus.

. without any early treatment options available

(whether by politics or science)

there will be many more deaths from virus

than there will be deaths from vaccine.

natural immunity after infection persists even with low antibodies #covid19

2021.7.26, 8.31: news.health/immunity/covid-19/

natural immunity after infection persists even with low antibodies:

summary:

. it is shown that after a covid-19 infection

there is long-lasting immunity

even when the antibody count is low

because covid-19 is slowly developing

thereby giving the memory cells time to react

by growing more antibodies when needed.

. the CDC recommends even those who have been infected

should get the vaccine; apparently because,

the recently vaccinated with their higher antibodies,

will be quicker at stopping the spread of the virus

than people who have survived an infection and then

slowly make more antibodies when reinfected.

. the politics of this question are based on

a dispute over the likelihood of vaccine injury.

my covid-19 antibody test is negative in November after feeling hit in March

 20.11.30: web,aq.med/redcross/

health/immunity/covid-19/my covid-19 antibody test is negative:

summary:

. I got a covid-19 antibody test 

from giving blood to the redcross;

and it came back negative,

but while that could mean I never got exposed,

it could also mean I had a mild case of covid-19

where my immune response made very few antibodies,

and within 8 months, I make undetectable levels.

trust flu vaccine? we need humane organic farming

19.6.17: tv.pol/healthcare/industrial farming
/Rob Wallace`african swine fever:
6.19: summary:
trust flu vaccine? we need humane organic farming:
. part of the reason for encouraging flu vaccine
is that globalized factory farming
is increasing the rate of flu virus evolution;
but flu vaccine is often not protective;
what we really need is to discontinue
globalized factory farming of animals
by mandating humane organic farming.
. I summarize the work of
biology Ph.D. Rob Wallace
and others concerned with the way
factory farming promotes disease.

Jewish people know best (avoid or delay some #vaccines)

2017.11.27 web.pol/healthcare/vaccine/
Jewish people know best (avoid or delay some #vaccines):
2018.6.18: summary:
. the herd-immunity theory is fatally flawed:
it assumes that to protect a minority
you have to ensure the majority are vaccinated;
but, what are the long-term large-scale side-affects
of all these new hardly-tested vaccines?
you need a sizeable control group
who do not take vaccines
to compare them to the group who does.
. Jewish communities are known to be
highly intelligent or well-researched,
and many of some Jewish communities
are refusing or delaying vaccines.

#vaccine higher rate of allergies and neurodevelopmental disorders

5.23: news.pol/healthcare/vaccine/
higher rate of allergies and neurodevelopmental disorders:
Pilot comparative study on the health of
vaccinated and unvaccinated
6- to 12- year old U.S. children.
[J Translational Science 2017]
. neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD);
vaccinated homeschool children were found to have
a higher rate of allergies and NDD
than unvaccinated homeschool children.
While vaccination remained significantly associated with
NDD after controlling for other factors,
preterm birth coupled with vaccination
was associated with an apparent synergistic increase
in the odds of NDD.

some flu #vaccines don't contain mercury

7.12: news.med/flu vaccine/beware thimerosal:
. some flu vaccines still contain thimerosal
delivering about 25 micrograms of ethylmercury.
It is known that as little a 0.5 micromole
[114.825 micrograms]* of ethylmercury
[ 5 years of thimerosal-flu vaccines ]
can produce a 50% inhibition of the
brain's most important protective system
against excitotoxicity.

#obese more likely to die from #flu

10.21: web.health/hormonics/obese more likely to die from flu:
summary:
. the obese were more likely to get the H1N1 flu
and to subsequently die from it;
so, would that apply to any flu?
. usa's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices
added morbid obesity to the list of conditions that
increase the risk of influenza-related complications,
including hospitalization and death .
. some say the obese should be urged to get flu vaccine,
while others claim vaccines may not work in the obese
because they are less like to mount an immune response .
. also, vaccines work surely only by herd immunity,
because, vaccines are not 100% effective,
so if you are obese surrounded by
thin people who don't get vaccinated,
getting a flu vaccine is not surely going to protect you from flu .
. vaccines aren't without risk,
so, it would be wise to minimize them .
. instead of flu vaccines,
we could vaccinate only the care providers
of those who stay home with the vulnerable
(infants and elderly)
and reduce the size of our obese population
by putting a huge tax on high-glycemic foods
and also on the high-fructose low-fiber foods .

all things in moderation #vaccinate

23: co.fb/health/vaccines/the word from theverge:
this interactive map is very interesting
cfr.org/interactives/GH_Vaccine_Map/#map
specifying measles, rubella, polio,
mumps, whooping cough (Pertussis), and other .
. apparently the usa is not getting vaccinated for
mumps and Pertussis .
. theverge wants to point that
at least 10 babies died from Pertussis;
but, this should considered in the context of
vaccine-caused injuries and deaths
(over $2 billion has been awarded for these).
. therefore, some people are asking,
do we really want to cause dozens of grief
to avoid one death?
