Stupid fight and not a problem in EU where infection that is confirmed by PCR test is also a valid option for EU COVID-19 certificate. Unfortunately it only lasts for 6 months but some member states are considering to extend this period.

Maybe at the moment but not during spring 2020. Other Scandinavian and Baltic states did not do the mistakes Sweden did and their death rates were 10 times lower. Also see Greece vs Spain and Italy. Well, Italy and Spain did not have change

It is not a problem to recognize natural immunity by European Union. The infection has to be confirmed by previous PCR test and it is valid for 6 months (being disputed in some union member countries) but it is still recognized.

How it is even slightly related? This former doctor forged documents and he is from Israel.

Bureaucratic thinking perhaps. Natural immunity (when confirmed by previous PCR test only unfortunately) is recognized in European Union but at the moment only up to 6 months.

It is not a problem to do this in European Union. So far people who have been ill do not fall again very often. Btw. infection after vaccination gives also about the same level antibodies as vaccination after infection.

Yes, this is the main concern with ivermectin - lack of knowledge. There are many studies with really questionable quality. I am almost daily checking if UK Principle study is done. They have hired already 6700 patients into the 3 arm study

If it was not US, homicide would be somewhere below diabetes so I would say that it is not a stretch to ignore these causes. Beside, these are more or less environment and genetics determined. If you are black man in 20s in US, I feel reall

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr70/nvsr70-09-508.pdf gives you leading causes of death for 2019 by age groups. But the groups do not match perfectly so you have to recalculate some https:/&#

You can hone your vaccines as long as you want when the disease prevalence is low. For example when you have archived a large enough immunity by unfortunate natural infection or by previous vaccines. During pandemic, vaccines are quickly de

Moderna vaccine is not authorized for 12-17 olds in US. Has never been, so no need to restrict it.

Well, it is actually not higher. Definitely not when you take the speed of Delta into account. For example Scotland (as the rest of the UK) did not vaccinate 12-15 year old children. When the school year started, about 10% of this populatio

Except your scientist(s) were wrong this time and killed 10 times more people by not implementing quick and mild restrictions and letting the disease spread. Sure, what US and France did was also different kind of wrong but it does not make

Time does not give you anything beneficial. Administering more doses with better tracking does. If we just waited for some years and started to use the vaccine, we would be still in similar situation.

It really depends on disease prevalence, technological capability and urgency. For example during ebola epidemic RVSV-ZEBOV vaccine was administered to infected people prior any previous human testing. H1N1 vaccine was developed in number

This is true and if it was flu kind of virus with very low reproduction number, it would be right but Delta variant has very high reproduction number and it is guaranteed to infect eventually almost everyone who is without immune response a

Good luck with avoiding it. Scotland had no restrictions and when they opened schools, about 8% of 12-15 children got infected within first 5 weeks. Delta variant is so infectious that it will not disappear until about 90% of all the people

It has been clearly spotted in 2 mRNA vaccines (Pfizer, Moderna). There is limited information about vector based vaccines. It is fairly clear that adverse effect is dose dependent and it may be the reason why we do not see that many with v

I recommend you to read the comments section under the study. Many other cardiologist disagree with this selection criteria and there exists clear bias that can affect the authors.

Yes, they were. Each of the vaccines used around 40000 people in their trials. It is an equal to series of crash tests. But there are effects that are so rare that do not come out unless the medicine is administered to larger group of peopl

In Scotland about 8% of 12-15 year olds got it in 5 weeks after the beginning of the school year. UK did not vaccinate <16 year olds till 20th September. Now they got forced natural immunity.
