People like me gave them the benefit of d9ubt. We believed tjhat there was an emergency and nthat time was of the essence for sure, and that the trial and data would be delivered later on. This is scinece and what science is about: its all about data, and testing hypothesis and theories.

They lied. They cheated, they delayed, they hid, the neded courts to comamnd them to give data, and thend id so nto without deletign key variab le sint hat data, and then did the whoel stunt again on basis of an absoltuely ridiculous testing setup: 8 mice, and the majority of "trials" on these 8 mice failed. And that was their "data".

And national and international authorities approved it once again. Governments approved it once again and thrwew tax moeny after it. Ministers.

This is not a failure of the system, this is the system itself at work. It runs as intended and designed. And it is absolutely rotten, and criminal.

I knew before that it is, the poharma indiustry is one of the most corrupted and criminal there is. But the scale to which this storey now escalates ever further, surprises me nevertheless. And that they can even pull of this stunt a second time is absolutely discouraging.

Its a criminal rotten system. And I will never repeat the mistake of once again paying out a trust advance in advance with the excuse that time was pressing due to an emergency. Fool my once - shame on you. Fool me twice - shame on me.

The wife and I both had our fourth covid jab an hour or so ago.

So which have you had? I've had three moderna so far, but I'd rather the winter booster, if I get it, not be moderna I think? Did you get a flu shot too?

Yes, I have had the flu shot last week. Required for work although they can't threaten being forced to wear a mask anymore.:arrgh!:

The first three were Pfizer and last nights was the Moderna which covers both strains.

The flu jab I will go for next week as my free time permits, my surgery has a walk-in system 3/4 days per week.

No plans of mine for a fourth one.

Neither my parents, my dad is still done over the breakdown he suffered from the first shot.

In Germany the official recommendation is "for all over 60", but I would not care anyway anymore, even if I were at that age (55 I am). The commission giving that recommendation has opened fire at Pfizer for still withholding data, btw.

Flu vaccines have an efficiency that varies from year to year, between some 20% and 40%. By German and I think European laws these vaccines should not even be allowed to be on market. To sell a vaccine, it must have proven an efficiency of 50% or more, says the law, I read some time ago.

I put my money on my strategy implemented over the last two years already: boost the immune system, support the intestinal flora, avoid obesity and diabetes, reduce carbohydrate intake. :up:

And what do I know - maybe I have already met the virus, and maybe even repeatedly. I cannot say.

My trust is gone. Will not reinvest it prematurely.

First we had to worried about Covid-19 Delta variant now it looks like they want us to be worried about this:

Monkeypox has spread across the globe this year, with 26 confirmed deaths and more than 71,000 cases as a result. However, according to reports by the World Health Organization (WHO), the variant that has rapidly spread is significantly milder than that which is responsible for a large number of deaths in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and the more serious variant could soon spread in a similar fashion.

The latest estimates from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) suggest one in 37 people in the UK has coronavirus, a rise from one in 50 the week before.

Experts warn of a "notable rise" in older people in England and Wales.

They say vaccines are the best defence against the virus and urge people aged 50 and over and others eligible for booster jabs to get them.

There are fears of a flu and Covid "twindemic" this winter.

Covid: Life expectancy still down in many countries

Life expectancy has been slow to rise again after the shock of the pandemic, according to new research.

Data on registered deaths from 31 countries shows few recovering in 2021, and many seeing further declines.

Countries that rolled out vaccines quickly, to all age groups, have generally bounced back faster.

Life expectancy in England and Wales rose slightly in 2021, while in Scotland and Northern Ireland it fell further, the researchers say.

The paper - from the University of Oxford and the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research - is an update to research from last year, which found the pandemic caused the biggest global drop in life expectancy since World War Two.

Researchers compiled data on registered deaths from 31 countries - 29 in Europe, plus Chile and the US. They found that in only four - Belgium, France, Sweden and Switzerland - has life expectancy returned to the level it was in 2019.

The situation was worse in the US and in Eastern and Central Europe, which saw further declines in 2021.

"The scale of the worsening losses, particularly in Eastern Europe, are really quite sad," says Ridhi Kashyap, professor of demography at the University of Oxford's Leverhulme Centre for Demographic Science, and one of the authors of the report.

The drop in life expectancy in many of these European countries has mirrored the health and mortality crisis that followed the break-up of the Soviet Union, the researchers say.

These life expectancy figures - known as "period life expectancy" - aren't a prediction of how long a child born today will live for. They show the average age a new-born would live to if today's death rates persisted for that child's entire life.

Before the pandemic, life expectancy was on a consistent upward trajectory almost everywhere. Lives were getting longer, on average, year on year.

But that changed dramatically in 2020. In England and Wales, period life expectancy dropped from 81.7 years in 2019 to 80.7 in 2020. A year later it was up only a little - to 80.9.

Period life expectancy figures for Northern Ireland and Scotland in 2021 were 80.3 and 78.5 respectively.

The UK's Office for National Statistics will publish its data on life expectancy for 2021 at the end of this year.

"Pre-pandemic life expectancy in the UK didn't compare very well with much of Western Europe," says Dr Veena Raleigh, senior fellow at UK health charity, The Kings Fund. "We were already lagging behind - we were seeing the slowest improvements in life expectancy,

"We went into this virus with a health and social care system that was overstretched - long waiting lists, and fewer beds, nurses and doctors than most Western European or high-income countries."

She cautions against reading too much into comparisons between England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, as the latter nations have much smaller population sizes.

In the US the drop was even higher - falling two years in 2020 and a further two months in 2021.

What struck the researchers was the age of people dying last year. As vaccines rolled out to older age groups, excess deaths dropped among the over-80s in most countries. But under-80s started contributing more to life expectancy losses.

Where vaccines were rolled out earlier and to all age groups at the same time, life expectancy was more likely to bounce back.

Bulgaria is a striking example. It lost a year and a half on its life expectancy in 2020 and a further two years in 2021. By the end of 2021 only one in four Bulgarians were vaccinated, and only 37% of over-60s, the lowest rate in the EU.

Dr Raleigh says the regional differences between Eastern and Western Europe are particularly noteworthy. Before Covid, gaps in life expectancies between East and West were narrowing, but this study shows that the pandemic has reversed that trend.

Similarly, before the pandemic, the gap between the life expectancies of men and women was narrowing: "The pandemic has opened up that gap again."

The study, published in Nature Human Behaviour, was limited to 31 countries by the quality of data available.

"There have probably been countries that had much worse pandemics in terms of life expectancy losses but because of data inequalities in the world, we're not in a position to measure that at the moment," says Prof Kashyap.

While many hope that life expectancy will recover in 2022, Prof Kashyap says the effects of Covid are still being felt in health systems all over the world: "There are worrying signs in England and Wales of excess mortality, particularly over the summer. It hasn't been a smooth recovery."

A former Auschwitz inmate doctor said of Mengele:

He was capable of being so kind to the children, to have them become fond of him, to bring them sugar, to think of small details in their daily lives, and to do things we would genuinely admire ... And then, next to that, ... the crematoria smoke, and these children, tomorrow or in a half-hour, he is going to send them there. Well, that is where the anomaly lay.

Indian vaccine maker Serum Institute of India (SII) has said it had to dump 100 million doses of their Covid-19 vaccine after they expired.

The firm stopped producing Covishield in December last year due to low demand, CEO Adar Poonawalla said on Thursday.

SII, the world's largest vaccine maker, has been making the local version of AstraZeneca's Vaxzevria jab.

Covishield accounts for over 90% of the doses given in India.

India has administered over two billion doses of Covid-19 vaccines. More than 70% of the Indian population has taken at least two doses, according to the federal health ministry.

In January 2022, India began giving boosters to healthcare and frontline workers, and those above 60 years with comorbidities. It was later expanded to all adults.

In July, free booster doses - or precaution doses as the government calls it - were provided to all adults for 75 days to mark 75 years of India's independence.

But so far, India has administered just 298 million booster doses, according to the health ministry.

"The booster vaccines have no demand as people now seem fed up with Covid," Mr Poonawala told reporters on Thursday. "Honestly, I'm also fed up. We all are."

According to Mr Poonawala, the SII had around 100 million doses of Covishield in stock. The vaccines - which have a shelf life of nine months - expired in September this year.

But to equate science with Nazis is as stupid as it is malicious. And Mengele was simply a particularly vicious, psychopathic criminal, such as the Nazi regime both attracted and produced.

How well a vaccination works and how well it protects against infection or a severe course of disease depends on many factors. These include the age of the vaccinated person and their state of health. Drugs administered at the same time can also play a role. In a new study, researchers at Oxford University have now found a further explanation for the varying strength of antibody responses - and it lies in our genes.

The Achse des Guten writes, admittedly very smugly:
-----------------------

Officially, every tenth "Corona death" worldwide is now reported from Germany. That's what happens when you don't want to let go of the dubious body count.

At present, 7.98 billion people live in the world, 84 million of them in Germany, i.e. about one in a hundred. The other 99 do not make any more fuss about the "pandemic", which turned out more and more to be a completely overestimated or rather, without evidence, dramatized danger. While the governments of the world proclaimed the end of the madness, abolished the measures one by one and were happy not to be prosecuted for their authoritarian and enormously damaging actions, our health minister Karl Lauterbach, who is obsessed with the virus, made sure that we continue to be led to believe that there is a danger situation that is obvious to everyone - but that does not exist. "After the autumn vacations, a marathon against the virus begins," announced Seuchen-Karl a few days ago, and already incidences are being counted again, a mask requirement indoors is being demanded, the FDP2 mask must be worn on long-distance trains, with the threat of being kicked off the train if not. Another half year won the Endemieleugner Lauterbach so once again.

"We must not get used to the fact that, as now, 100 people die every day," cries the minister, who, of course, continues to sell us every person who died in a car accident, from cancer or a heart attack with a positive snuff test as a "Corona dead person." He never wanted to know exactly who died from the virus and who died with it, because that would have brought his whole strategy crashing down. And so Berlin diligently reports 100, 200 or more of these mysterious "corona deaths" every day.

But now, according to Our World in Data (source: the Johns Hopkins University), it looks like about the day before yesterday, October 25, 2022, there were officially 2,017 new confirmed Covid 19 deaths reported worldwide - and a whopping 242 of them from Germany alone. In other words, the country, home to about one percent of the global population, now accounts for a good one in ten pandemic victims worldwide. The global average is 0.26 covid deaths per million inhabitants, and 2.90 in Germany.

Since the virus is not ten times more deadly between Flensburg and Passau than in the rest of the world, and no matter how often the health minister warns against "killer variants," the solution to this riddle must lie elsewhere. We will find out when Karl Lauterbach stops testing as if he were senseless, spreading panic with useless incidence figures, and tying a piece of paper with the inscription "Covid-19 dead" around the big toe of every deceased person who tests positive for a cold virus. He'll have to do that someday, otherwise they'll be saying in New York, Rio, Tokyo: "Germans die ten times as often from corona as other people. What kind of health minister do they have?"

Dozens of cities across China, including Wuhan where the coronavirus was first recorded, have gone into lockdown - as the country pursues leader Xi Jinping's zero-Covid policy.

More than 800,000 people in one district in Wuhan were told to stay at home until 30 October.

"We feel numb to it all. We feel more and more numb," one local told Reuters.

The city of Zhengzhou, home to the world's largest iPhone manufacturing plant, was also affected.

It comes as China reported a third straight day of more than 1,000 cases.

Earlier this month Mr Xi signalled that there would be no easing up of the zero-Covid policy, calling it a "people's war to stop the spread of the virus".

As of Oct 24, some 28 cities across the country were implementing some degree of lockdown measures, analysts Nomura told news agency Reuters - with around 207 million people affected in regions responsible for almost a quarter of China's GDP, it added.

Across the country, around 200 lockdowns have been implemented in recent days - the majority of this affecting communities that have been marked as high or medium risk. Residents in different areas are subject to different rules, depending on whether they are in a low, medium or high-risk zone.

Wuhan reported up to 25 new infections a day this week, with more than 200 cases over the past two weeks.

In Zhengzhou, a "small number of employees" from Foxconn - a major manufacturer for Apple - have been "affected by the pandemic", the manufacturer told the BBC, adding that quarantined employees were being provided with "material supplies, psychological comfort and responsive feedback". It comes at a critical period for Apple - which is now making the new iPhone 14.

Earlier this week, in-person schooling and dining in at restaurants were suspended in the southern Chinese hub of Guangzhou - which on Thursday reported 19 new virus cases, Some neighbourhoods in the city also remain subject to various control measures.

Even further-flung regions such as Tibet have been affected, after footage emerged earlier this week showing rare large-scale protests against strict zero-Covid measures in the regional capital Lhasa.

The city has been under lockdown for nearly three months as it battles the virus - local officials on Thursday had said eight new Covid cases were reported in Lhasa.

Multiple videos on social media showed hundreds demonstrating and clashing with police. They were said to be mostly ethnic Han Chinese migrant workers. A Lhasa resident confirmed to the BBC that the demonstration had taken place in the city on Wednesday.

Though seen as relatively small outbreaks in other parts of the world, China adheres to a strict zero-Covid policy, where authorities try to wipe out outbreaks.

The adherence to the policy comes despite increasing public fatigue and anger over lockdowns and travel restrictions. The country's economy has also taken a hit as a result - with GDP falling by 2.6% in the three months to the end of June from the previous quarter.

Got my 4th Moderna jab today. Moderna was my only choice, I'd have preferred to mix it up this time. Had to delay until now because they didn't have anything available a month ago because of the hurricane supposedly. Got the flu shot too.

Wondering if I should get the Shingles series of two shots also. Two people in close proximity to me have had shingles in the past few years. Shingles isn't contagious, but the virus that makes you susceptible to shingles is. If you've got a shingles blister that's busted you can transfer the virus. Seems like it's kind of splitting hairs to not call that contagious.

I thought that shingles was a result of having had the chickenpox at some point in the past. So anyone who once had it could someday develop shingles unless they got the vaccine to prevent it.

On the other hand I also heard that taking the vaccine without having had CP could actually cause a case of the shingles.

Covid lockdown: No police action over Shaun Bailey Tory event

Scotland Yard is taking no action against former London mayoral candidate Shaun Bailey nor other people who attended a gathering at Conservative Party HQ during a Covid lockdown.

Mr Bailey and Tory aides were seen posing for a photo, raising glasses besides buffet food while London was under restrictions in December 2020.

Socialising indoors was banned.

But the Met said it found "insufficient evidence to disprove the version of events provided by attendees".

Fresh questions about the event at Conservative Campaign Headquarters in Westminster were raised after it was reported that former prime minister Boris Johnson had put Mr Bailey forward for a peerage in his resignation honours list.

After the Daily Mirror published a picture of the gathering in December 2021, the Metropolitan Police launched an investigation.

Then-Transport Secretary, Grant Shapps, who is now business secretary, said "that scene is absolutely unacceptable".

Before the photo was published, the Times had reported that a "raucous" party took place in the basement while Covid restrictions were in place.

The Met concluded the "photo by itself is not sufficient evidence on which to assess that an offence had been committed".

Officers issued attendees with questionnaires to decide whether breaches of the rules were committed and fines should be issued.

"The investigation reviewed all the material thoroughly and after careful consideration, it was determined that there was insufficient evidence to disprove the version of events provided by attendees to a standard that would meet the threshold required," the Met said.

"As a result, a decision was made that no further action should be taken."

Mr Bailey, who remains a London Assembly Member, resigned as chairman of the governing body's Police and Crime Committee after the picture emerged.

Scotland Yard issued a total of 126 fines over rule breaches in Whitehall and Downing Street while Mr Johnson was prime minister, in a scandal that helped end his tenure in No 10.

Mr Johnson and his then-chancellor Rishi Sunak paid fixed-penalty notices over a gathering held for Mr Johnson's 56th birthday.

China has slightly relaxed some of its Covid restrictions even as case numbers rise to their highest levels in months.

Quarantine for close contacts will be cut from seven days in a state facility to five days and three days at home.

Officials will also stop recording secondary contacts - meaning many people will avoid having to quarantine.

The slight easing comes weeks after Xi Jinping was re-instated as party leader for a historic third term.

Mr Xi held his first Covid meeting with his newly elected Standing Committee on Thursday.

China's zero-Covid policy has saved lives in the country of 1.4 billion people but also dealt a punishing blow to the economy and ordinary people's lives.

There is increasing public fatigue over lockdowns and travel restrictions.

Stories of suffering and desperation have also circulated on social media, fuelling many outbursts of civic anger.

China's National Health Commission (NHC) insisted the changes did not amount to "relaxing prevention and control, let alone opening up", but were instead designed to adapt to a changing Covid situation.

The NHC also said it would develop a plan to speed up vaccinations.

Matt Hancock became emotional as he told his I'm A Celebrity campmates that what he is "really looking for is a bit of forgiveness".

The former health secretary was once again being grilled by campmates about the actions that led to his resignation during the Covid lockdown measures.

But while Hancock expressed regret over breaking Covid guidelines, he defended his overall record as health secretary.

The MP has been criticised for entering the jungle while parliament is sitting.

Hancock, who had the Tory whip suspended after joining the ITV series, was forced to resign as health secretary in June 2021 after CCTV footage emerged of him kissing aide Gina Colangelo while social distancing guidelines were in place.

Asked on Friday's episode about the affair, Hancock explained he was not fined because he "didn't break any laws, guidance is different".

"But," he added, "the problem was it was my guidance."

Asked by TV presenter Scarlette Douglas why he broke the guidelines he helped put in place as a cabinet minister, Hancock responded: "Because it was a mistake, because I fell in love with somebody."

Speaking later in the Bush Telegraph room, Hancock said: "Lots of the campmates asked questions that the public have got as well and it's only respectful to just give completely straight and truthful answers."

The episode saw the campmates share their own experiences of lockdown with the former health secretary.

ITV News presenter Charlene White told him: "My aunt died from Covid in the first wave. So, we couldn't go to the hospital to go and visit her. I had to sit by myself in the church at her funeral.

"We couldn't hug each other because we were following guidance. And I get that you fell in love, I understand all of those things, but sorry for a lot of families like mine doesn't really cut it."

Hancock responded: "Yeah. Well, there you go. That's one of the reasons that I regret it as much as I do."

He later told White: "Do you know what it is actually, what I'm really looking for is a bit of forgiveness, that's what I'm really looking for... We all make mistakes. I made a pretty big one."

However, the 44-year-old said he was "much, much more robust in [his] defence" of his behaviour more widely during the pandemic.

White asked Hancock about PPE shortages and Covid outbreaks in care homes, which were caused by elderly people with Covid being moved to homes from hospitals.

"So PPE for instance, I know, of course I saw what happened to it, but that's because we suddenly needed masses more PPE and so did everybody else in the world," Hancock said.

"And care homes… There were reasons for the decisions that were taken and ultimately those problems were caused by the virus, not the people who were trying to solve the problem."

After a frank discussion, some of the campmates appeared to show some understanding towards Hancock.

Actress Sue Cleaver said: "I think we've covered everything, we should stop. And life isn't black and white and we are all fallible and we all [mess] up."

Discussing Hancock's comments later, White said: "Well, you could have blown me down with a feather, that was not what I was expecting at all. It is a very human reaction when you can see that someone is getting upset to give them a hug."

Hancock in the Bush Telegraph said: "I wasn't really expecting it, but it did get very emotional."

But radio presenter Chris Moyles was not fully convinced. "Honestly, the way I feel now is he's pulled the mask slightly off his chin a little bit but I still think he's not telling us the full truth," he said.

The latest episode of I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here! also saw the MP take part in the latest Bushtucker trial alongside singer Boy George.

La Cucaracha Café marked Hancock's third trial of the series so far - but the first in which he had to eat something disgusting - a hallmark of the show.

A firm has become among the first in the UK to be given the green light to sell a new Covid and flu combined test.

Derby-based SureScreen Diagnostics said it had passed the UK Health Security Agency's Coronavirus Test Device Approvals (CTDA) process.

It can now supply the products to settings such as hospitals and care homes.

David Campbell, a company director, said: "Our new tests are already being used successfully overseas."

The new rapid lateral flow test, which detects both flu and Covid, analyses a shallow nasal sample which is collected by rotating a swab inside the nostril and then inserting it into a liquid.

Droplets of the liquid are then placed at the top of two formulated strips, placed side by side in a special dual test cassette.

This gives users a positive or negative result for both Covid and influenza A and B, the two main types of flu that affect humans, in 10 minutes.

SureScreen said it had already been supplying the tests to overseas markets and had trialled them with Guy's and St Thomas's NHS Foundation Trust in London.

Experts are warning flu and Covid could make it a hard winter in the UK.

Mr Campbell said: "Our new tests are already being used successfully overseas and by key hospital partners.

"The Covid pandemic demonstrated that rapid testing is a key tool to control the spread of viruses."

The heap of foul rot since long has started to stink to heaven.

The AdG writes:
------------------------

Report on Corona situation: BioNTech in the Swamp

What is the Paul Ehrlich Institute actually doing? When it comes to vaccine damage, private initiatives by experts and committed citizens have long since taken over its role. Without them, the devastating numbers of victims would still be under wraps. Even the flagship company BioNTech is visibly getting involved in the quagmire. Calls for criminal justice are growing louder.

Julia Neigel is one of Germany's most famous rock singers. She is also one of the clearest and most profound critics of Corona politics. I had the great pleasure of participating in a BILD-TV program at the end of October, in which she was also a guest. There she mentioned a fact of which I was not fully aware at the time.

In January 2022, a Texas judge upheld a lawsuit filed by an American civil rights movement and required Pfizer to publish all communications with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) within eight months. It was originally supposed to remain under seal for 75 years. [Skybird: thats the same report I mentioned repeatedly where they have blackened values of many critical variables that oen needs ot know to competently estimate the real dimension of side effects of the vaccination, and from which over 100 pages were compeltely "ripped out", as we learned later on: all this without perimission by the court].

It involves 1,000 documents, which are now complete and which Julia Neigel has worked through. In the broadcast, she addressed one report from these documents. Namely, the February 2021 claims report on reported adverse events in people treated with the mRNA (actually modRNA) Covid "vaccines." In it, Pfizer lists 42,086 reported adverse events in the period from the first released vaccine in December 2020 to February 2021.

In doing so, Pfizer itself describes the well-known problem of underreporting in the context of reporting systems. The literature for such reporting systems indicates up to a factor of 40 as the number of unreported cases. These reported cases include a very large variety of diseases of which we have learned little to date.

Particularly striking on page 17 is the following reported adverse event: COVID-19 (1,927 cases) and COVID-19 pneumonia (51 cases). This confirms that Covid-19 is a side effect of the Covid "vaccines". Analyses of the data masses are underway. If you would like to participate, here is the link to the full documents, here is a preliminary description, and here is a movie. Already, there is a growing certainty that humanity has been subjected to a huge, untested and dangerous experiment that is a clear violation of international law. Thus, the government has presumably been guilty of a crime against its own population with all the consequences that can be derived from it.

Julia Neigel has subsequently written a letter to the Mainz-based biotechnology company BioNTech. BioNTech will rather not answer this letter in terms of content, because otherwise they would have to admit serious omissions. With the consent of Ms. Neigel, I may pass on the contents of the letter here:

Julia Neigel's letter to BioNTech

Dear ladies and gentlemen of the company Biontech,

In February 2021, Mr. Sahin announced to the Bild newspaper:

"Vaccinated people are no longer contagious".

Between this statement - which Mr. Sahin did not deny - and today, there are billions of profits of your company, which were pushed, financed and subsidized with tax money, including mine. Therefore, as a taxpayer, I also have a right to information from their company about how my tax money was used: Likewise, their product was forced on the taxpayer, in which a 2G regime had been introduced as an indirect vaccination obligation according to §§ 20,22 and 28 a IfSG, and all this, with a conditional approval according to Regulation EC No. 705/2006 of 29.03.2006 and with ongoing studies with their module SIII until December 2023 (see Risk Management Plan of 09.11.21). I refer to § 7 (1) No. 10 VStGB and Art. 7 sentence 2 ICCPR. According to § 15 HWG and § 16 UWG, it is also prohibited to conceal serious side effects and to make false promises of a cure.

Now your business partner Pfizer, which markets the same product in the USA, has lost a lawsuit filed by a civil rights organization in the USA and unfortunately had to present all communications with the US authorities to the public, which were supposed to remain under seal for 75 years. In the process, Pfizer's 1st damage report from the same month of the Bild newspaper article with the interview with Mr. Sahin, namely that of February 2021, was also presented. In addition to an incredible myriad of serious illnesses that their product triggers, which one finds from page 30, one also finds on page 17 under Table 7 the side effects Covid-19, namely in 7.3% of the PM dataset. There are considerable severe courses and also deaths. But you don't find that in the Red Hand Letter, nor all the other serious side effects. Why not?

Can you explain to me why Biontech has not published this side effect so far, or why the PEI has apparently not informed about it and thus concealed it from the German population? This is about the concerns of consumer and patient protection and freedom of information in connection with physical integrity in pharmaceutical advertising, which are protected under the CFR in Art. 3 and Art. 38 and other rights - especially in the case of children and the elderly, particularly strict rules are applied here. Please respond to my request for information by 11/15/22.

Yours sincerely

Julia Neigel

So much for the letter from Julia Neigel. A postscript to this: Australia now also advises against the mRNA Covid "vaccination" for men under 40. In the text, the government writes: "In men aged 16 to 40 years, it is uncertain whether the risk after Covid-19 remains higher than the risk after vaccination." In truth, that may be quite an understatement. In this context, Germany's adherence to facility-based mandatory vaccination - not only among young men - no longer seems merely irresponsible, but in my view criminal.

-----------------------------

Fool me once - shame on you. Fool me twice - shame on me. The scale of this scandal surpasses everything that I would have believed possible. And usually I got descriped as a notorious pessimist.

What also catches my attention is that since a few months, with the release of a new mRNA based vaccine against shingles, this vaccine now gets surprisingly aggressively promoted in the print, radio and TV media. A traditional vaccine against shingles is availabe already since just a couple of years, and almost nobody ever heard of it.

China has recorded its highest number of daily Covid cases since the pandemic began, despite stringent measures designed to eliminate the virus.

Several major cities including the capital Beijing and southern trade hub Guangzhou are experiencing outbreaks.

Wednesday saw 31,527 cases recorded compared with an April peak of 28,000.

The numbers are still tiny for a country of 1.4 billion people and officially just over 5,200 have died since the pandemic began.

That equates to three Covid deaths in every million in China, compared with 3,000 per million in the US and 2,400 per million in the UK, although direct comparisons between countries are difficult.

While China's zero-Covid policy has clearly saved lives, it has also dealt a punishing blow to the economy and ordinary people's lives.

The country slightly relaxed some of those restrictions a few weeks ago.

I know very well how he must feel, i feel the same way (which is not to say I am a sky-high expert on things, but I trust in the methodology of the scientific process itself: that it is corrupted in most academical branches I know and have often complained about, but that the corruption already went to such far-reaching degrees like in the example of the Covid conspiracy I would not have believed possible). Its discouraging and shows how very much screwed up everything seems to be. Campbell's last words in the last minute has nothing left that needs to be added. You live and learn. He is obviously a man of great integrity. It hurts to see him so contrite - through no fault of his own for that. We all got abused. We went with the evidence in good faith - and now learn that much of that evidence was forged, faked, staged.

I will never forgive this frontal assault on the most essential core principles of science - and never forget the lesson from it. It turned me a bit more into a cynic. Maybe I should have become suspicous earlier on, due to my coinciding study of ecotrophologic topics and nutrition supplements - betrayal and incompetent methodoloy handling is the norm there, many doctors get misled intentionally by tweaking the curriculae and corrupting health practitioners and policy-makers by means of massive lobbyism and data manipulation, or making data unavailable to suppress the needed freedom of information necessary for scientific debate. And its like this in every scientific branch it seems - at least in every branch where there is political power, ideological sovereignty of interpretation, or money at stake.

Its Orwellian language- and reality-reinterpretation principles brought to maximum use nowadays. And Orwell described where this will lead us. Why are people not more afraid, is beyond me.

China Covid: BBC journalist detained by police during protests

Chinese police beat a BBC journalist in Shanghai and briefly arrested him while he was covering anti-government lockdown protests gripping the nation.

Ed Lawrence was detained at the main protest in the city on Sunday, and held for several hours before being freed.

"It is very worrying that one of our journalists was attacked in this way whilst carrying out his duties," the BBC said.

China's government said Mr Lawrence hadn't presented his press credentials.

He had been filming the crowds at the nation's largest protest in Shanghai at Wulumuqi Middle Road on Sunday.

Footage shared widely on social media showed several police officers grabbing Mr Lawrence and pinning him to the ground. The BBC said he was beaten and kicked by police officers, and then taken away in handcuffs.

The broadcaster said the treatment of its journalist was "extremely concerning".

In a statement, it said it had not received an official explanation or apology from China, "beyond a claim by the officials who later released him that they had arrested him for his own good in case he caught Covid from the crowd".

"We do not consider this a credible explanation."

Journalists, medical professionals are OK so long as they toe the party line. Like Xi Jinping the left wing Democrats in California approved a bill that would allow regulators to punish doctors for spreading false information about Covid-19 vaccinations and treatments. Just like Xi and his totalitarian Chinese Communist Party those left wing Democrat nut cases in California could have arrested that journalist for having an opinion contrary to the party line.

God of the left wing believers Albert Bouria approves.

Former Health Secretary Matt Hancock says he was warned 820,000 people in the UK could die from Covid two months before the country went into lockdown.

In his new diaries on the pandemic, the MP says in January 2020 he was told by England's chief medical officer the toll was "a reasonable case scenario" if restrictions were not introduced.

Figures show more than 200,000 people with Covid have died in the UK to date.

The government has set up an inquiry into its handling of the pandemic.

In his new book, Mr Hancock says that when he mentioned the projected death toll to other cabinet ministers, their reaction was "somewhat 'shrug shrug' - essentially because they didn't really believe it".

He wrote: "I am constantly feeling that others, who aren't focused on this every day, are weeks behind what's going on."

He said that 11 days later, England's chief medical officer Sir Chris Whitty also warned transmission would be so high that "almost everyone would catch it".

Mr Hancock wrote: "In his characteristically understated way, sitting at the back peeling a tangerine, Chris Whitty quietly informed everyone that in the reasonable worst-case scenario as many as 820,000 people in the UK may die.... The whole room froze. We are looking at a human catastrophe on a scale not seen here for a century."

Mr Hancock's Pandemic Diaries: The Inside Story Of Britain's Battle Against Covid, is being serialised in the Daily Mail, with the West Suffolk MP set to donate all proceeds to NHS charities and causes supporting dyslexia.

Xi Jinping set to unleash ‘brutal military repression' to stop lockdown protests in China

Australian MP Michael Danby has blasted the hard internal policing being used across China to tackle dissent over coronavirus measures. Xi Jinping's regime is under pressure after massive protest erupts over Beijing's "zero-Covid" rules.

Mr Danby told Sky News Australia the protests in China will end in "brutal military repression."

He said: "The Chinese communists spend more on internal policing, even than they do on their very aggressive international military expenditure.

"Ten people at least were burned to death in their houses ... because of this Covid repression.

"It's in every city in China, that's the amazing thing."

Defence Intelligence Analyst Paul Monk has suggested current anti-lockdown backlash in China could be a "serious turning point" for Xi Jinping's regime.

The protests are believed to have been triggered after a number of people lost their lives in an apartment building fire in Urumqi after emergency services were reportedly delayed by lockdown rules.

Mr Monk told Sky News Australia: "It seems to me various authoritarian regimes crack at different, often unpredictable points due to things that they didn't foresee.

"This could be a very serious turning point for China."

Footage from the frontline of protests in the city of Guangzhou showed riot police in hazmat suits dragging people out of the demonstration.

Missiles and bottles were hurled at the police by the angry protestors.

Hundreds of SUVs, vans and armoured vehicles with flashing lights were parked along city streets Wednesday while police and paramilitary forces conducted random ID checks and searched people's mobile phones for photos, banned apps or other potential evidence that they had taken part in the demonstrations.

The number of people who have been detained at the demonstrations and in follow-up police actions is not known.

Political commentator Quentin Letts believes that Xi Jinping has backed himself into a corner of China's "zero Covid" policy.

Mr Letts told Good Morning Britain: "There's a very good piece in The Telegraph today, by Sherelle Jacobs saying that this zero-tolerance Covid approach by China has become China's version of the Ukraine war.

They're not going to win this thing and President Xi has got himself into a terrible corner and it's very difficult to see how his authority is improved.

He added: "But the ultimate sort of political reality of this political physics is that freedom will out and the Chinese authorities are fighting a losing battle."

Tory peer Michelle Mone is taking a leave of absence from the Lords "to clear her name of the allegations that have been unjustly levelled against her", her spokesman has said.

It means she will not attend sittings of the House, vote on any proceedings or be able to claim any allowance.

Baroness Mone has been linked to PPE Medpro, which won government contracts during the Covid pandemic.

Her lawyers previously said she "had no role or function in PPE Medpro".

Her spokesman said the leave of absence was "with immediate effect" and was Baroness Mone's decision.

It also means she does not have to register her financial interests, although her request for a leave of absence could be refused.

Baroness Mone has not voted in the Lords since April and has not spoken in a debate since March 2020.

Between May and June 2020, PPE Medpro was awarded two government contracts worth £203m to supply masks and medical gowns.

Unusually, the company was only a few weeks old when it signed the first of these agreements.

In December 2020, BBC News reported that millions of medical gowns the firm supplied, worth £122m, had never been used.

PPE Medpro said at the time that it had delivered 100% of the contract to the terms specified and that it had supplied equipment "fully in accordance with the agreed contract, which included clear terms as to technical specification and performance criteria of the products".

Glasgow-born businesswoman Baroness Mone, who joined the House of Lords in 2015, is being investigated by the Lords commissioner for standards over her "alleged involvement" in procuring contracts for the company.

However, the commissioner says he is unable to finalise or publish his report because "the matter is under investigation by the police or another agency as part of a criminal investigation".

Properties linked to the company were searched by the National Crime Agency earlier this year.

Emails released under Freedom of Information laws show Baroness Mone referring the company to a government minister during the pandemic.

Last month, Labour's deputy leader Angela Rayner accused the government of a "total failure of due diligence" and a "conflict of interest" in awarding the contracts to PPE Medpro.

She was responding to an investigation in the Guardian based on leaked documents that alleged Baroness Mone had financially benefited from the company.

She told MPs it appeared "tens of millions of pounds" from the money awarded to the company "ended up in offshore accounts connected to the individuals involved".

Baroness Mone has not responded to requests for comment on the latest allegations.

However, asked in December 2020 about reports she was linked to the company, her lawyers told BBC News she "had no role or function in PPE Medpro, nor in the process by which contracts were awarded to PPE Medpro".

It comes as Labour is trying to force ministers to release correspondence, documents and advice relating to government contracts awarded to PPE Medpro.

The party will present a motion calling for the documents to be published in a Commons debate later.

If the motion passes, the government would have to publish the documents, although they may argue they can be redacted for legal reasons or because of commercial sensitivity.

Conservative MPs are expected to abstain from the vote, which would allow the motion to pass.

The Department of Health said: "Due diligence was carried out on all companies that were referred to the department and every company was subjected to the same checks.

"We acted swiftly to procure PPE [personal protective equipment] at the height of the pandemic, competing in an overheated global market where demand massively outstripped supply."

The department is currently in mediation with PPE Medpro over what it has described as an "underperforming contract" and said it was unable to comment on specifics.

China to deactivate national Covid tracking app

China has announced it will deactivate a phone app that has tracked people's movements during the pandemic.

The national app, which has been operational for three years, will go offline at the end of Monday.

It is the latest policy change that signals Beijing is abandoning its controversial zero-Covid strategy.

The move is highly symbolic but will not have a huge impact on people's daily lives because of the local apps still in use in cities across China.

The state-run Communications Itinerary Card app, which uses phone signals to track whether someone has travelled to an area considered to be high-risk, was seen as a central part of China's zero-Covid policy.

People were required to enter phone numbers in the app in order to produce a green arrow indicating they were able to travel between provinces and enter events.

Now travel between provinces has been eased with the removal of Covid-prevention restrictions, the national app has been deemed to be obsolete by officials.

Many social media users in China have welcomed the app's retirement.

But it is only one of several tracking apps that have governed everyday life in China, with many people still using scanning systems run by their city or province to access local amenities and public buildings.

The policy change is symbolic for a nation which is turning away from its controversial zero-Covid strategy following widespread protests in several cities.

Recent unrest was triggered by a fire in a high-rise block in the western Xinjiang region that killed 10 people in November, with long-running restrictions blamed for hampering the rescue effort.

Following policy changes, people with Covid can now isolate at home rather than in state facilities, and there has been a broad relaxation of mass testing.

China is now experiencing a surge in Covid cases, with authorities in Beijing saying more than 22,000 patients had visited hospitals across the city on Sunday - 16 times the number a week earlier.

China reported 8,626 domestic cases on Sunday, but with testing no longer widespread the numbers are believed to be much higher.

Despite its loosening of measures, China is still regarded as having some of the most hard-line Covid restrictions in the world.

China Covid: Hospitals under strain in wave of infections

By Stephen McDonell
BBC News, Beijing

China's hospitals are already under so much pressure, following the country's rapid 180-degree shift in Covid policy, that doctors and nurses could be infecting patients.

It seems frontline medical workers are being told to come in even if they have the virus themselves because of staff shortages.

A Chinese professor specialising in health policy has been monitoring the crisis in his home country from Yale University in the United States.

Chen Xi told the BBC that he has been speaking to hospital directors and other medical staff in China about the massive strains on the system right now.

"People who've been infected have been required to work in the hospitals which creates a transmission environment there," he said.

China's hospitals have hastily increased their fever ward capacity to meet a huge influx of patients, but these have been filling up quickly, in part because the message is still not getting through that it is all right to stay at home if you catch the virus.

Prof Chen says much more needs to be done to explain this to people.

"There is no culture of staying at home for minor symptoms," he said. "When people feel sick they all go to hospitals, which may easily crash the healthcare system."

A rush on pharmacies has led to significant nationwide shortages of medicine used to treat a cold or the flu. Home testing kits for Covid are also hard to come by.

In Beijing, though restaurants are allowed to open again, they have very few customers and the streets are quiet.

Companies are telling employees they should return to the office, but many don't want to.

This all makes sense when you consider that, just weeks ago, the government was saying that there will be no swerving from zero-Covid, that those infected must go to centralised quarantine facilities and that lockdowns were necessary.

Several leading German high-profile virologists declare the pandemic over (in Germany at least), and say that this winter marks the beginning of the endemic phase. Immunity is now so widely spread in the popuation pool that it is unlikely that Corona will ever raise to immense waves again as in the past, or that a new dangerous break-through mutation could appear.

And, oddly enough, last year one of my friends had Covid while this year three currently have it.
It never was about not getting it, but about not getting knocked out by it. Endemic does not mean a desease is not around anymore, but that the population is no logner exposed and has formed immunity levels that pull the snake its poison teeth.

Also the situation the virologists refered to is that in Germany. Which is very different from lets say China, obviously.

I have no clue whether I ever got it or not. If I got it, I did not feel anything.

No. They all said it's the worst they've experienced.
Which is not surprising, because they are two different diseases that attack different parts of the organ system. The Sars-Cov-2 virus attacks not only the lower respiratory tract like the influenza virus, but also organs, brain, the functionality of various metabolic systems, the energy (ATP) production at the mitochondrial level (possibly the reason for so-called long covid), and the integrity of cell membranes. Influenza viruses for the most part do not, cannot, do any of these things. One should not conclude a biological sameness of the disease patterns just because the pandemic event in both pathogens is - necessarily - similar when it encounters an immunologically not yet prepared population. The sameness of the wave patterns is explained by the absence of immune protection, not by the sameness of the pathogens.

UK Covid modelling data to stop being published

Coronavirus modelling data will stop being published in early January, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) says.

Statistics covering the growth rate of the virus are currently released fortnightly, but the agency says this is no longer necessary.

Chief data scientist Dr Nick Watkins said this is due to the UK living with Covid-19 because of vaccines and therapeutics.

Covid will continue to be monitored in other ways, the agency added.

The reproductive rate - known as the R rate - refers to the number of people an infected person will pass the virus onto.

At the height of the pandemic both the R rate and growth rate for England were published weekly.

Since April this year it has been published fortnightly.

Dr Watkins said it served as a useful and simple indicator to inform public health action and government decisions.

"Vaccines and therapeutics have allowed us to move to a phase where we are living with Covid-19," Dr Watkins said.

"We continue to monitor Covid-19 activity in a similar way to how we monitor a number of other common illnesses and diseases.

"All data publications are kept under constant review and this modelling data can be reintroduced promptly if needed, for example, if a new variant of concern was to be identified."

All remaining Covid restrictions, including the legal requirement to self-isolate at home with symptoms, were removed earlier this year.

However, health officials have urged those with signs of respiratory illness should avoid mixing during the festive season, particularly with vulnerable people.

Hong Kong to scrap almost all its Covid rules

By Kathryn Armstrong
BBC News

Hong Kong is dropping almost all its Covid restrictions this week, following a similar move by mainland China.

From Thursday, people arriving in the city - a special administrative region of China - will no longer have to do mandatory PCR tests.

The vaccine pass system will also be scrapped - but compulsory masks in public places will continue.

It is a dramatic move by the city, which once had some of the toughest restrictions in the world.

Also being scrapped from Thursday is the rule that limits the number of people allowed to gather outside to 12.

This was increased from four people in October as part of measures to begin reopening the city.

Hong Kong's leader, John Lee, cited high vaccine rates as one of the reasons for lifting restrictions.

According to government figures, 93% of the population have had two vaccine does, while more than 83% have received three.

Unlike mainland China, which has developed its own vaccines, Hong Kong has also used mRNA vaccines - including the BioNTech jab made in Germany - that have been shown to be more effective.

"Hong Kong has a sufficient amount of medicine to fight Covid, and healthcare workers have gained rich experience in facing the pandemic," Mr Lee said on Wednesday.

"The society has established a relatively extensive and overall anti-epidemic barrier."

Mr Lee added that instead of the vaccine pass, which has limited access to public places for unvaccinated since it was introduced in February, the city would take "more targeted measures" - including promoting vaccination for the elderly and children.

More than 11,000 people have died with Covid in Hong Kong, according to official numbers, from more than 2.5m cases.

Since the pandemic began, the city has largely followed mainland China's lead in efforts to tackle the virus, including attempts to eliminate it with a "zero-Covid" strategy.

This has been criticised by some residents and business owners - who said the policy damaged Hong Kong's economy and international standing.

The scrapping of the Hong Kong's Covid restrictions comes weeks after mainland China made a similar move following landmark protests against the strict controls.

On Monday and Tuesday, Beijing announced further plans to ease travel restrictions. Hong Kong has said that it will fully reopen its borders with the rest of China before mid-January.

The mainland is currently experiencing a surge in cases, with reports suggesting hospitals are overwhelmed and elderly people are dying.

Hong Kong is part of China and is governed by the "one country, two systems" principle, but Beijing has tightened control in recent years.

China Covid: US considers restrictions on Chinese arrivals

By Sam Hancock
BBC News

The US is considering imposing new Covid restrictions on Chinese arrivals, after Beijing announced it would reopen its borders next month.

American officials say this is due to a lack of transparency surrounding the virus in China, as cases surge.

Japan, Malaysia and Taiwan - worried at importing Covid cases - have already outlined tighter measures for Chinese travellers, including negative tests.

Beijing has said Covid rules should be brought in on a "scientific" basis.

India is also stepping up measures for Chinese arrivals, but this was announced before Beijing said it would relax its strict border policy.

Passport applications for Chinese citizens wishing to travel internationally will resume from 8 January, the country's immigration authorities have said.

Travel sites have reported a spike in traffic, leaving some countries fearful over the potential spread of Covid.

"There are mounting concerns in the international community on the ongoing Covid-19 surges in China and the lack of transparent data, including viral genomic sequence data," US officials said in a statement quoted by news agencies.

Wang Wenbin, China's foreign minister spokesperson, subsequently accused Western countries and media of "hyping up" and "distorting China's Covid policy adjustments".

He said China believed all countries' Covid responses should be "science-based and proportionate", and should "not affect normal people-to-people exchange".

Mr Wang called for "joint efforts to ensure safe cross-border travel, maintain stability of global industrial supply chains and promote economic recovery and growth".

The UK and Germany each said they are monitoring the situation closely, but are not currently considering new restrictions for Chinese travellers.

A Downing Street spokesperson said the number of cases in Britain was still "relatively low".

Meanwhile, a German health ministry official said there was "no indication that a more dangerous mutation [of Covid] had developed".

The true toll of daily cases and deaths in China is unknown because officials have stopped releasing the necessary data. Reports say hospitals are overwhelmed and elderly people are dying.

Last week, Beijing reported about 4,000 new Covid infections each day and few deaths.

Before the relaxation of travel rules, people were strongly discouraged from travelling abroad. The sale of outbound group and package travel was banned, according to marketing solutions company Dragon Trail International.

Within half an hour of Monday's notice that China's borders would reopen, data from travel site Trip.com - cited in Chinese media - showed searches for popular destinations had increased ten-fold on last year.

Macau, Hong Kong, Japan, Thailand and South Korea were the most popular destinations.

Separately on Wednesday, Hong Kong's leader John Lee announced that his city was scrapping the last of its Covid rules almost immediately - apart from the wearing of face masks, which will remain compulsory.

"The city has reached a relatively high vaccination rate which builds an anti-epidemic barrier," Mr Lee told a media briefing.

The US still requires international travellers to show proof of being fully vaccinated against Covid on entering the country.

The website for the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also recommends that anyone travelling to the US gets a Covid test beforehand and has their result to hand - but this is not a legal obligation.

In their statement, the unnamed US officials added they were "following the science and advice of public health experts" and "consulting with partners".

China's loosening of travel measures - the last part of the country's controversial zero-Covid policy - follows weeks of unrest which saw people take to the streets in rare protests against President Xi Jinping and his government.

Covid in China: Countries tighten rules as tourism set to resume

Italy has become the latest country to impose mandatory Covid tests on Chinese tourists, after China announced it would reopen its borders next week.

Tighter measures have also been brought in by Japan, Malaysia, Taiwan and India - while the US said it is considering imposing more rules.

After almost three years of restrictions, China will let people travel more easily from 8 January.

At the same time, the country is facing a surge in Covid cases.

That has led to wariness among some countries - but Beijing said coronavirus rules should be brought in on a "scientific" basis, and accused some countries and media of "hyping up" the situation.

On Monday and Tuesday, China announced it would ease its restrictions on travel to and from the country.

From 8 January, quarantine for travellers entering China will end, and passport applications for Chinese citizens will resume, authorities said.

Travel sites reported a spike in traffic following the announcements - and some countries revised their travel rules.

Italy - once the global epicentre of the virus after it spread from China in late 2019 and 2020 - said it was bringing in mandatory Covid testing for all passengers coming from China.

Health Minister Orazio Schillaci said this was "essential to ensure the surveillance and identification" of any new variants of the virus, and to "protect the Italian population".

Before his announcement, flights arriving in Milan were already testing passengers flying from China.

On one flight, which landed at the city's Malpensa Airport on 26 December, 52% of passengers were found to be positive for Covid, la Repubblica reports.

Other countries had already imposed some restrictions on travellers coming from China:

In Japan, from Friday all travellers from China and those who visited it within seven days will be tested for Covid upon arrival, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said. Those who test positive will be required to quarantine for seven days if they have symptoms, or five days if asymptomatic. The number of flights to and from China will also be restricted

In India, people travelling from China and four other Asian countries must produce a negative Covid test before arriving. Passengers will be put in quarantine if they have symptoms or test positive

Taiwan says people arriving on flights from China, as well as by boat at two islands, will have to take Covid tests on arrival from 1 January to 31 January. Those who test positive will be able to isolate at home, Taiwan's Central Epidemic Command Centre said

Malaysia has also put additional tracking and surveillance measures in place.

Elsewhere, the US said it was considering taking "similar steps" to countries such as Japan.

"There are mounting concerns in the international community on the ongoing Covid-19 surges in China and the lack of transparent data, including viral genomic sequence data," US officials said.

Wang Wenbin, China's foreign minister spokesperson, subsequently accused Western countries and media of "hyping up" and "distorting China's Covid policy adjustments".

He said China believed all countries' Covid responses should be "science-based and proportionate", and should "not affect normal people-to-people exchange".

Mr Wang called for "joint efforts to ensure safe cross-border travel, maintain stability of global industrial supply chains and promote economic recovery and growth".

The UK and Germany each said they were monitoring the situation closely, but were not considering new restrictions for Chinese travellers.

In Belgium, the mayor of tourist hub Bruges called for Chinese visitors to face Covid tests or mandatory vaccine requirements.

The true toll of daily cases and deaths in China is unknown because officials have stopped releasing the data. Reports say hospitals are overwhelmed and elderly people are dying.

Last week, Beijing reported about 4,000 new Covid infections each day and few deaths.

Despite the rise in infections, China has continued its programme of loosening its strict Covid measures.

Disruption, chaos, and economic collapse in favor of Sino political/economic expansion only serves Xi's long-range vision of China's uncontested political hegemony made easier by feeble western resistance. All diseased tourists arriving are expendible by China's standards in the pursuit of political/economic goals. 1.4 billion Chinese with relatively few natural assets desperately need other nation's global assets to attain their perceived "place in the sun".

UK should test all China arrivals for Covid, ministers urged amid 'no plans' for restrictions

Ministers were coming under pressure on Thursday to introduce Covid checks on travellers from China after saying the UK had “no plans” to impose restrictions.

Lord Bethell, a former health minister who was in post during the Covid pandemic, said the Government should follow Italy in introducing post-arrival screening tests on travellers from China to check for potential new variants and identify who had the virus.

“What the Italians are doing is post-flight surveillance on arrivals in Italy in order to understand whether there are any emerging variants and to understand the impact of the virus on the Italian health system. That’s a sensible thing to do and something the UK Government should be seriously looking at,” he told BBC Radio Four.

It follows statements from UK Government officials on Wednesday that there were “no plans to re-introduce COVID-19 testing or additional requirements for arrivals into the UK" following China’s announcement on Monday that it was lifting its travel restrictions despite a surge in Covid cases across the country.

The United States announced on Wednesday that all travellers from China must test negative for Covid before entering the country. The move will come into effect from January 5 for all air passengers over two years old who will, from then on, require a negative result from a test no more than two days before departure from China, Hong Kong or Macao.

India has adopted the same stance as the US by insisting on pre-arrival tests for travellers from China, while Japan, Taiwan and Italy are requiring testing of inbound passengers from China on arrival.

The European Commission said its health security committee would convene on Thursday to discuss "possible measures for a coordinated EU approach" to China's Covid surge.

Officials from the Department for Transport, Home Office and Department for Health and Social Care are expected to assess on Thursday whether the UK should review its current stance with six non-stop flights from China with 1,795 seats, due to arrive in the next seven days. There are 26 direct flights due in January.

Lord Bethell said mandatory post-arrival tests would allow the UK to conduct the necessary genomic checks to “understand whether there are any new variants and whether this virus is going to break to become more dangerous, particularly to the vaccinated population.”

“A lot of these people who get on these flights are people who are poorly themselves and are coming to the West for medical help. That’s quite a daunting prospect for our health system. It is important we know which of them have the virus and what virus they have got,” he said.

Paul Charles, chief executive of the travel consultancy The PC Agency, said it was “inevitable” the UK Government would take action after facing criticism for its slow response to the spread of Covid from China on flights at the start of the pandemic.

“Governments have learned lessons from the initial wave of Covid. One of those lessons is that they work more closely on such restrictions. You cannot have Italy and the US doing one thing and others not doing the same,” said Mr Charles.

Yvette Cooper, the shadow home secretary, was particularly critical of the UK’s failure to act over the initial Covid outbreaks when international travel was allowed to continue into the UK and was on Thursday night consulting advisers on whether to demand restrictions.

Virologists are watching nervously how China’s decision to drop quarantine for overseas visitors from 8 January and from the same date resume issuing visas to foreigners and passports to its own people may affect the global spread of the disease.

The end of China’s zero-Covid approach comes amid surging case numbers, with low vaccination rates especially among elderly people.

"The recent rapid increase in Covid transmission in China increases the potential for new variants emerging," a senior US health official told reporters in a phone briefing.

"We have just limited information in terms of what's being shared related to the number of cases that are increasing, hospitalisations and especially deaths. Also, there's been a decrease in testing across China so it also makes it difficult to know what the true infection rate is," the health official said.

Beijing only announced on Monday its decision to end quarantine for arrivals - effectively reopening travel in and out of the country for the first time since March 2020. Until this week, anyone entering China had to undergo quarantine in state facilities.

Before the pandemic, China had been the world's largest outbound tourism market. But it is unclear how many Chinese people will travel abroad after 8 January given that the number of flights are limited, and many citizens need to renew their passports.

Italy’s decision to impose testing for all China arrivals comes almost three years after it became the first western country to be hit by the pandemic, which to date has claimed more than 180,000 lives in the country.

“The measure is essential to guarantee the surveillance and identification of any variants of the virus in order to protect the Italian population,” said Orazio Schillaci, the Italian health minister.

Italy has already been monitoring swab tests at Rome’s Fiumicino airport and Milan’s Malpensa airport, where on Monday one in two passengers arriving on flights from China who undertook non-mandatory tests were found to be positive for coronavirus.

Covid: England to require negative test for arrivals from China

Passengers arriving in England from China will have to provide a negative Covid test before they board a flight, ministers have confirmed.

It comes as several nations announced they would be screening travellers from China after cases surged following Beijing's decision to relax its zero-Covid policy.

China has said it will fully reopen its borders on 8 January.

Several countries, including the US, France and India, have imposed testing.

The Department of Health and Social Care said people travelling from China on direct flights from 5 January will be asked to take a pre-departure Covid test.

From 8 January, the UK Health Security Agency will also launch surveillance, which will see a sample of passengers arriving from China tested for the virus as they arrive.

Health Secretary Steve Barclay said the government was taking a "balanced and precautionary approach", adding the measures were "temporary" as officials assess the latest Covid data.

The testing requirement only applies to people flying to English airports, with the government saying that while there are no direct flights from China to Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, it is working with the devolved administrations to ensure the policy is applied UK-wide.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has called on Beijing to share "real-time" information on Covid - including on deaths, hospitalisations and vaccinations.

The UN body said it was willing to offer support on data-sharing, adding that it was "understandable" that some countries were now imposing fresh restrictions.

China's foreign ministry said earlier this week that its "epidemic situation" overall was "predictable and under control".

The Chinese government is reporting about 5,000 cases a day, but analysts say such numbers are vastly undercounted - and the daily caseload may be closer to one million.

The true toll of daily cases and deaths in China is unknown as officials have stopped requiring cases to be reported, and changed classifications for Covid deaths.

The UK government said its decision was due to a "lack of comprehensive health information shared by China".

Spain, Israel and South Korea also announced on Friday that they will introduce testing requirements in response to the increasing number of infections in China.

Some scientists have questioned the approach of the UK and US - saying it is better to screen people once they have arrived. Italy and Spain have introduced post-arrival testing.

But not all countries have announced additional controls. Germany has joined Australia and Portugal in saying there will be no new rules yet.

Prof Andrew Pollard, chairman of the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI), said the restrictions are unlikely to prevent new Covid variants reaching the UK and it was difficult to know what impact such a move would have here.

He told BBC News: "Trying to ban a virus by adjusting what we do with travel has already been shown not to work very well.

"We've seen that with the bans on travel from various countries during the pandemic, that hasn't stopped those viruses travelling around the world eventually."

But there is concern that more infections can provide more opportunities for the virus to mutate.

Countries that plan to test travellers say the policy will help spot worrying new variants early and prevent an influx of cases.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said testing visitors from China, Hong Kong and Macau was needed "to help slow the spread of the virus as we work to identify... any potential new variants that may emerge".

The government had also come under pressure from Conservative MPs who want a more robust response.

The new requirement for travellers from China to provide negative tests was welcomed by Tory MP Steve Brine, chairman of the Commons health and social care committee.

He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that the move would reduce the number of passengers with infections, and help to identify new variants of the disease.

But he said the policy was not about trying to "ban a virus" - adding that ministers were not trying to repeat the "Beijing folly of an unattainable zero-Covid policy".

Covid in China: Officials must share data on its impact, says WHO

Chinese officials must share more real-time information on Covid in the country as infections surge, the World Health Organization (WHO) has said.

Many of the country's strict restrictions have been lifted over the last few weeks, but cases have soared and several countries are now screening travellers from China.

WHO officials say they want to see more data on hospitalisations, intensive care unit admissions and deaths.

It also wants figures on vaccinations.

The United States, Spain, France, South Korea, India, Italy, Japan and Taiwan have all imposed Covid tests for travellers from China, as they fear a renewed spread of the virus.

And passengers arriving in England from China will have to provide a negative test before they board a flight.

In a statement issued after talks with Chinese officials the UN health agency said: "WHO again asked for regular sharing of specific and real-time data on the epidemiological situation... and data on vaccinations delivered and vaccination status, especially in vulnerable people and those over 60."

The agency said it was willing to provide support on these areas, as well as help with addressing the issue of vaccine hesitancy.

It also stressed "the importance of monitoring, and the timely publication of data, to help China and the global community to formulate accurate risk assessments and to inform effective responses".

WHO's technical advisory group on the evolution of Covid-19 is set to hold a meeting on Tuesday. The agency says it has invited Chinese scientists to present detailed data on viral sequencing.

It says it is "understandable" that some countries are imposing fresh restrictions on people travelling from China.

The sudden lifting of many of China's restrictions follows November's protests against the government's management of the disease.

Until then, China had one of the toughest anti-Covid regimes in the world - known as a zero-Covid policy.

It included strict lockdowns even if only a handful of cases had been found, mass testing in places where cases were reported, and people with Covid having to isolate at home or under quarantine at government facilities.

Lockdowns have now been scrapped, and quarantine rules have been abolished. People are now free to travel abroad again.

Cases have since been on the rise, with the Chinese government reporting about 5,000 a day. But analysts say such numbers are vastly undercounted - and the daily caseload may be closer to one million.

Officially there have only been 13 Covid deaths throughout December, but UK-based health data firm Airfinity said on Thursday that around 9,000 people in China are probably dying each day from the disease.

Clearly China is utilizing deceit, subterfuge and denial(of accurate mortality statistics) to mask reinfecting the planet, again, of 'lesser beings' subservient to Sino-global hegemony. The WSJ has termed it "revenge tourism"; as prior to the 2019 pandemic, Chinese tourists were the largest revenue source for the global tourism industry. At this time in history, the tourism industry needs to be on Covid hiatus until the threat is eradicated.The domestic political unrest of Chinese peasants protesting strict zero-Covid restrictions against Xi's regime should not be foisted on the West by a lessening of travel restrictions to appease the 1.4 billion Sino-multitudes. If China will not enforce it's own zero tolerance policy, the rest of the still devastated recovering planet needs to enact it's own zero-tolerance policy; if only to prevent being stupid twice....:hmmm:

Xi calls for unity as China enters 'new phase' of COVID policy

BEIJING (Reuters) - Chinese President Xi Jinping called on Saturday for more effort and unity as the country enters a "new phase" in its approach to combating the pandemic, in his first comments addressed to the public on COVID-19 since his government changed course three weeks ago and relaxed its rigorous policy of lockdowns and mass testing.

In a televised speech to mark the New Year, Xi said China had overcome unprecedented difficulties and challenges in the battle against COVID-19, and that its policies were "optimised" when the situation and time so required.

"Since the outbreak of the epidemic ... the majority of cadres and masses, especially medical personnel, grassroots workers braved hardships and courageously persevered," Xi said.

"At present, the epidemic prevention and control is entering a new phase, it is still a time of struggle, everyone is persevering and working hard, and the dawn is ahead. Let's work harder, persistence means victory, and unity means victory."

Beijing earlier this month scrapped its signature zero-COVID approach based on mass testing, centralised quarantine and lockdowns - which it had maintained for almost three years.

The policy switch has led to a wave of infections across the country, a further drop in economic activity and international concern, with Britain and France becoming the latest countries to impose curbs on travellers from China.

China's decision to abandon the zero-COVID policy aligned it with a world that has largely reopened to live with the virus.

The step followed unprecedented public protests over the policy championed by Xi, marking the strongest show of public defiance in his decade-old presidency and coinciding with grim growth figures for China's $17 trillion economy.

What is XBB Covid? The new Omicron variant that has led to surge in cases

New Covid variants are sparking fresh health concerns as Omicron relatives XBB and XBB.1.5 have seen a surge in cases in countries worldwide.

It comes as UK-based health experts have suggested that up to 9,000 people are dying from Covid a day in China, where infections have dramatically risen following the country’s end to strict isolation rules.

The surge has prompted the UK government to require all passengers arriving in England from China from 5 January to return a negative Covid result before travelling.

So what are the XBB subvariants and where have they been seen? Here is all you need to know:

XBB is a subvariant of the Omicron BA.2 variant, and XBB.1.5 is a subvariant of XBB.

It emerged as a “recombinant lineage between the second generation Omicron variants”, Professor Kei Sato wrote in a study by University of Tokyo, Hokkaido University and Kyoto University, posted to preprint server bioRxiv.

The Japanese researchers studied XBB’s characteristics in hamsters including transmissibility and immune resistance.

Their results suggested that the subvariant is highly transmissible and has developed resistance to immunity.

In October 2022, the World Health Organisation (WHO) also said there was early evidence to suggest that XBB has a higher reinfection risk, compared to other circulating Omicron subvariants.

However, in a fact-checking article conducted by Reuters in November, its team concluded that there was no evidence that XBB “is more deadly or causes more severe COVID-19 than the Delta variant”.

Where have cases of XBB been reported?

The Omicron subvariants have taken the US by storm as together they accounted for 44.1per cent of the total cases in the country for the week ending December 31.

Though the subvariants are currently dominant in the Northeast, they account for fewer than 10 per cent of infections in many other parts of the country, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday (CDC).

XBB.1.5 has been detected in at least 74 countries and 43 US states, according to outbreak.info which uses data from the Global Initiative on Sharing Avian Influenza Data (GISAID).

These countries include the UK, China, India, Pakistan, Indonesia and Australia.

Wearing a mask if ill is sensible advice - minister

Asking adults to wear a mask if they have a respiratory infection and need to go out is sensible, ministers say.

Transport Secretary Mark Harper said he fully supported the guidance, issued by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA).

The advice, in place for months in England, was reiterated by the UKHSA as schools and workplaces return after the Christmas break.

It comes amid mounting pressure on the NHS, partly driven by high rates of Covid and flu.

Mr Harper said he recognised staff were under "tremendous pressure" and the government had offered more resources to the NHS and social care to help services cope.

This includes a £500m winter fund targeted at helping hospitals discharge patients who are medically fit to leave but cannot because of a lack of support available in the community.

"I hope these resources are going to help in the coming months to relieve some of the pressure on our hard-worked health and care staff," Mr Harper said.

It was "sensible" to ask ill adults to wear masks if needed to go out, he said, but best to stay home if possible.

The UKHSA has also asked parents to keep children off school if they have a fever.

There have been sharp rises in the numbers of people in hospital with Covid and flu in recent weeks - about one in eight beds in England is now occupied by patients with these infections.

Senior doctors have described the NHS as on a knife edge, with some accident and emergency units in a "complete state of crisis".

In recent days, a number of hospitals have declared critical incidents, suggesting they cannot function as usual because of extraordinary pressure.

'I had to sleep in my car while waiting for an emergency op'

Having gone to A&E with stomach pain, Michael Woodcock, from Harrogate, was told he needed an emergency operation because his appendix was at risk of bursting.

It was late at night and he was booked in for surgery the following day - but with no beds available, asked nurses whether he could sleep in his car rather than a waiting-room chair.

"I ended up getting some blankets from the nurses and sleeping in the car for a few hours and then heading back into the hospital in the morning for the operation," Mr Woodcock said.

Labour criticised the government's management of the health service, while the Liberal Democrats called for Parliament to be recalled early.

MPs are due back at Westminster next Monday, following their Christmas break.

Prof Phil Banfield, who chairs the British Medical Association, which represents doctors, called on the government to "step up and take immediate action".

The situation was "intolerable and unsustainable", he said, with the NHS's survival on a knife edge and patients needlessly dying because of a political choice.

Richard Webber, of the College of Paramedics, said the current situation was the worst in his 30-year career.

Delays were causing patients "significant harm", he said, with ambulance services now struggling to find available crews for cardiac arrests - the highest category of emergency call.

"I've never known anything like it," Mr Webber said.

China Covid: WHO warns about under-representing Covid deaths

By Kathryn Armstrong
BBC News

The World Health Organization has warned that China is under-representing the true impact of Covid in the country - in particular deaths.

The removal of most restrictions last month has led to a surge in cases.

But China has stopped publishing daily cases data, and has announced only 22 Covid deaths since December, using its oown strict criteria.

"We believe that definition [of a Covid death] is too narrow," WHO emergencies director Dr Michael Ryan said.

Dr Ryan said China's figures "under-represent the true impact of the disease in terms of hospital admissions, in terms of ICU admissions, and particularly in terms of deaths".

He added that China had increased its engagement with the WHO in recent weeks, and said he looked forward to receiving "more comprehensive data."

But he also suggested individual health workers could report their own data and experiences.

"We do not discourage doctors and nurses reporting these deaths and these cases," Dr Ryan said. "We have an open approach to be able to record the actual impact of disease in society."

The UK science data company Airfinity estimates more than two million Covid cases a day in China, and 14,700 deaths.

Since China abandoned key parts of its "zero-Covid" strategy almost a month ago, there have been reports of hospitals and crematoriums being overwhelmed.

More than a dozen nations have introduced travel restrictions on travellers from China. Beijing has criticised these as politically motivated and threatened to retaliate.

No new Covid variants have been detected in China, despite the surge in cases. However, the WHO has warned this could be due to a decrease in testing.

The Chinese authorities have announced they are sending medical supplies to rural hospitals before an expected wave of coronavirus infections in the countryside - where vaccination rates are patchy.

Oh man don't compare it to the flu! The forums fake doctors and medical experts get all in a tizzy when you say that.

Oh my gawd I am soo very sorry. Please sir, I don’t want to be purged I want to be a person. I will spend my day writing on the chalk board “I will not think for myself” two thousand times. That’s it from now on all medical appointments will be made through party officials. Gotta make sure I get only the party approved medical advice. It’s what’s best isn’t it? :03:

You know growing up when it came to doctors and medical advice I was always taught there’s no harm in getting a second opinion. I guess those days are long gone now, seems even medical professionals must toe the party line. That’s scary.

Another way for these guys to ensure you toe the party line and rob us of more money is to make sure you swallow their pill.

Influenza and flu do not do this.
---------------------------------
One in three patients affected: Study shows impaired heart function after corona infection

New research results show a connection between Corona disease and heart muscle inflammation. The virus attacks the vessels in the long term.

Severe courses of Covid 19 disease can have life-threatening consequences for the heart, according to a study by the Hannover Medical School.

These range from acute myocarditis to chronic restriction of the heart's pumping function, the university announced on Thursday.

An interdisciplinary research team from the Institute of Pathology used novel molecular methods and a high-resolution microscopy technique to show how the persistent inflammation in Covid-19 attacks the heart tissue.

According to the data, about one in three patients complains of complaints and functional limitations of the heart after a severe Covid-19 disease. In order to clarify the mechanisms of this long-lasting heart muscle damage, the researchers led by Professor Danny Jonigk, Christopher Werlein and Mark Kühnel would have examined heart tissue from patients with severe Covid-19.

They compared these with tissue samples after severe flu infections and after severe heart muscle inflammations caused by other viruses. The researchers observed a remodelling of the smallest coronary vessels, because precursor cells of the immune system were guided from the blood into the heart and triggered processes in which tiny blockages developed in the heart vessels, which are only a few millimetres thick.

What may have been intended as a short-term rescue response by the body to compensate for the reduced blood flow and undersupply of oxygen could lead to chronic damage to the heart and long covid, the researchers suspect.

"In any case, the latest research confirms our earlier assumption that Sars-CoV-2 systemically attacks all vessels in the body and remodels them in the long term," Jonigk emphasised.

The study was conducted in cooperation with the German Centre for Lung Research, the University Hospital Aachen, the University Medicine Mainz and the Georg-August University Göttingen.

Wrong, AGAIN.

Sinus and ear infections are examples of moderate complications from flu, while pneumonia is a serious flu complication that can result from either flu virus infection alone or from co-infection of flu virus and bacteria. Other possible serious complications triggered by flu can include inflammation of the heart (myocarditis), brain (encephalitis) or muscle tissues (myositis, rhabdomyolysis), and multi-organ failure (for example, respiratory and kidney failure). Flu virus infection of the respiratory tract can trigger an extreme inflammatory response in the body and can lead to sepsis (https://www.cdc.gov/sepsis/index.html), the body’s life-threatening response to infection. Flu also can make chronic medical problems worse. For example, people with asthma (https://www.cdc.gov/flu/highrisk/asthma.htm) may experience asthma attacks while they have flu, and people with chronic heart disease (https://www.cdc.gov/flu/highrisk/heartdisease.htm) may experience a worsening of this condition triggered by flu.

Random COVID tests begin for travellers from China to UK

Random passengers on direct flights from mainland China into the UK are to be tested for COVID-19 in a new UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) surveillance programme which starts today.

Concern is growing that COVID is overwhelming the health system in China as the virus continues to spread through a large population which possesses little immunity thanks to the government's now scrapped Zero-COVID policy, which relied on isolation rather than inoculation.

There are also fears about how accurate the country's data is over the outbreak.

It is anticipated the currently low numbers of travellers from China will increase from today, as quarantine requirements on return to China are removed, so the new surveillance will begin.

Since 5 January, people travelling from mainland China have been asked to take a pre-departure COVID-19 test.

But the UKHSA said its new programme would also see "a sample of passengers arriving in England from mainland China tested for COVID-19 at the point of their arrival".

The agency said passengers at Heathrow would be invited to take part in the study and all positive samples sent for sequencing.

"This will further enhance the UK's ability to identify any new variants which may be circulating in China that could evade the immune response of those already vaccinated, or which have the potential to successfully outcompete other variants and spread internationally," an agency statement explained.

Secretary of State for Health and Social Care Steve Barclay said as China reopened its borders, it was "right for us to take a balanced and precautionary approach by announcing these temporary measures while we assess the data".

He added: "This allows our world leading scientists at the UK Health Security Agency to gain rapid insight into potential new variants circulating in China."

The end to Zero-COVID rules at the beginning of December has unleashed the virus on China, which is home to 1.4 billion people.

The population has little immunity after being shielded since the coronavirus emerged in the Chinese city of Wuhan in late 2019.

Many funeral homes and hospitals say they are overwhelmed, while international health experts have warned of at least one million deaths in China this year.

From the Twitter Files: Pfizer board member Scott Gottlieb secretly pressed Twitter to hide posts challenging his company's massively profitable Covid jabs
To funnel his demands, Gottlieb used the same Twitter lobbyist the White House did - fresh evidence of overlap between the company selling mRNA shots and the government forcing them on the public.

On August 27, 2021, Dr. Scott Gottlieb - a Pfizer director with over 550,000 Twitter followers - saw a tweet he didn’t like, a tweet that might hurt sales of Pfizer’s mRNA vaccines.

The tweet explained correctly that natural immunity after Covid infection was superior to vaccine protection. It called on the White House to “follow the science” and exempt people with natural immunity from upcoming vaccine mandates.

It came not from an “anti-vaxxer” like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., but from Dr. Brett Giroir, a physician who had briefly followed Gottlieb as the head of the Food & Drug Administration. Further, the tweet actually encouraged people who did not have natural immunity to “Get vaccinated!”

No matter.

By suggesting some people might not need Covid vaccinations, the tweet could raise questions about the shots. Besides being former FDA commissioner, a CNBC contributor, and a prominent voice on Covid public policy, Gottlieb was a senior board member at Pfizer, which depended on mRNA jabs for almost half its $81 billion in sales in 2021. Pfizer paid Gottlieb $365,000 for his work that year.

Gottlieb stepped in, emailing Todd O’Boyle, a top lobbyist in Twitter’s Washington office who was also Twitter’s point of contact with the White House.

The post was “corrosive,” Gottlieb wrote. He worried it would “end up going viral and driving news coverage.”

https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0e86edd 3-0e4f-42e9-b70c-80eb64f632bc_1170x798.jpeg

(SOURCE: Twitter)

I found the email in a search of records I ran at Twitter last week - part of Elon Musk’s “Twitter Files” effort to raise the veil on censorship decisions Twitter made before Musk bought the company in October.

I went into detail about my involvement at the Twitter Files in a Substack article yesterday. I plan more reporting on the files in the weeks to come.

Through Jira, an internal system Twitter used for managing complaints, O’Boyle forwarded Gottlieb’s email to the Twitter “Strategic Response” team. That group was responsible for handling concerns from the company’s most important employees and users.

“Please see this report from the former FDA commissioner,” O’Boyle wrote - failing to mention that Gottlieb was a Pfizer board member with a financial interest in pushing mRNA shots.

A Strategic Response analyst quickly found the tweet did not violate any of the company’s misinformation rules.

Yet Twitter wound up flagging Giroir’s tweet anyway, putting a misleading tag on it and preventing almost anyone from seeing it. It remains tagged even though several large studies have confirmed the truth of Giroir’s words.

https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd334144 2-a1c8-4888-a55c-34286d1d5a43_1170x1531.jpeg

A week later, on Sept. 3, 2021, Gottlieb tried to strike again, complaining to O’Boyle about a tweet from Justin Hart. Hart is a lockdown and Covid vaccine skeptic with more than 100,000 Twitter followers.

“Sticks and stones may break my bones but a viral pathogen with a child mortality rate of <>0% has cost our children nearly three years of schooling,” Hart had written.

Why Gottlieb objected to Hart’s words is not clear, but the Pfizer shot would soon be approved for children 5 to 11, representing another massive market for Pfizer, if parents could be convinced Covid was a real threat to their kids.

O’Boyle referred to “former FDA Commissioner Gottlieb” when he forwarded the report, again ignoring Gottlieb’s current work for Pfizer.

This time, though, Gottlieb’s complaint was so far afield that Twitter refused to act.

—

At the same time, Gottlieb was also pressing Twitter to act against me, as I disclosed on Substack on Oct. 13, 2022, drawing on documents that Twitter’s pre-Musk regime provided to me as part of my lawsuit against it. (Gottlieb’s action was part of a larger conspiracy that included the Biden White House and Andrew Slavitt, working publicly and privately to pressure Twitter until it had no choice but to ban me. I will have more to say about my own case and will be suing the White House, Slavitt, Gottlieb, and Pfizer shortly.)

The morning after I wrote that article, Gottlieb appeared on CNBC, the financial news channel where he is a contributor, and offered what at best was a seriously misleading explanation of his actions and his motives.

Gottlieb did not deny pressing Twitter on me - he could not, given the documents I had released the night before.

But in an interview with Joe Kernan of CNBC, Gottlieb said he had asked Twitter to act only because he was concerned if tweets raised the threat of violence against vaccine advocates.

“The inability of these platforms to police direct threats, physical threats about people, that’s my concern about what’s going on in that ecosystem,” Gottlieb said.

https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2dff164 8-a824-413a-8dee-09ed659f81d3_1170x1733.jpeg

SOURCE

"I'm unconcerned about debate being made,” Gottlieb told Kernan. “I'm concerned about physical threats being made for people's safety."

In a tweet that morning, Gottlieb doubled down, writing:

Respectful debate and dialogue is one thing, and should be encouraged and protected. But there's no place for targeted harassment, and misleading dialogue which can instigate a small but persuadable group of people to make targeted and dangerous threats.

But Brett Giroir’s tweet about natural immunity was the definition of “respectful debate and dialogue.” And in his own email to Todd O’Boyle, Gottlieb did not raise any security concerns about it. He simply complained that it might wind up “driving news coverage.

—

Gottlieb is not just a Pfizer board member.

He is one of seven members of the board’s executive committee and the head of its regulatory and compliance committee, which oversees “compliance with laws, regulations, and internal procedures applicable to pharmaceutical sales and marketing activities.”

Pfizer has a long history of violating drug industry laws and ethics rules. In 2009, it agreed to pay $2.3 billion, the largest health care fraud settlement in American history, for fraudulently marketing several drugs. In 1996, it conducted a clinical trial of an antibiotic in Nigeria in which 11 children died and which became the inspiration for John le Carre’s novel The Constant Gardner.

But the one thing we know for certain is that it's definitely not what we're all thinking that's behind this — if you know what I mean. We can go ahead and rule that thing out right now because Science just called us on the phone and told us not to discuss it. We always follow Science."…

China blocks S Korea and Japan visas over Covid

By Nick Marsh in Seoul
BBC News

China has stopped issuing short-term visas to individuals from South Korea and Japan in retaliation for Covid restrictions on Chinese travellers.

Visas for South Koreans entering China as tourists have been suspended, Beijing's embassy in Seoul said.

And Japanese media reported China was imposing similar measures there.

It's a tit-for-tat move which Beijing says will remain in place until "discriminatory" entry restrictions against China are lifted.

Last week, South Korea stopped issuing tourist visas for those coming from China, which the Chinese foreign ministry called "unacceptable" and "unscientific".

Reacting to China's latest move, South Korea's foreign ministry told the BBC that its policy towards arrivals from China was "in accordance with scientific and objective evidence".

Japan meanwhile is currently allowing Chinese visitors into the country - provided they test negative for Covid.

According to South Korea's Disease Control and Prevention Agency, around a third of all arrivals from China tested positive for Covid prior to the visa restrictions being put in place.

At Seoul's Incheon International airport - the only South Korean airport still allowing flights from China - arrivals are met by military personnel in personal protective equipment.

The BBC managed to speak to some of them as they were escorted to the airport testing centre.

"Personally, I think it's OK. I have been through much worse during this pandemic," said William, a businessman from Shanghai. "As a traveller I just try to comply with the policies are much as possible."

But another passenger disagreed.

"In my mind it's not scientific at all," said Emily, who arrived from Hong Kong. She, like those coming from mainland China, was required to test.

"I feel like it's a little bit unfair on this side. They must feel really unsafe, I suppose."

Many South Koreans support the idea of protecting their country from China's coronavirus surge - but not all are convinced that the decision is a purely medical one.

"There is a political element to it and the relationship between the two countries isn't a good one. A lot of Korean people hold a lot of animosity blaming China for the coronavirus," said Jinsun, who was heading to Abu Dhabi.

Another woman going on her honeymoon to Paris said South Korea might not have implemented such rules if the country concerned wasn't China.

"But then again, whatever we did, China would have a problem with it," she said.

The South Korean curbs are supposed to last at least until the end of the month, which would give scientists time to analyse for any potential new variants coming from China.

"There's no transparency at the moment in China about any monitoring for new variants. If a new variant comes from China, it would be a very difficult situation for the whole world," Professor Kim Woo Joo, an infectious diseases expert at Korea University and a government adviser, told the BBC.

"It would also be a disaster for the Korean healthcare system. We currently have a lot of hospitalisations and deaths already and our elderly people are also under-vaccinated. This is what we are worried about."

At the moment, only a small number of business or diplomatic travellers from China are being allowed into South Korea. They must test negative before departure and also on arrival.

One Chinese man who tested positive escaped from a bus taking him to a quarantine hotel near the airport. Two days later he was caught by police in a hotel in Seoul.

I've been watching Dr. Campbell's videos since the start of the pandemic. He strikes me as a true man of science, and in the early days, a true believer in the institutions supporting our Healthcare system. Watching him come full circle to where many of us have been standing the entire time has been simulaneously a tribute to his professional integrity and a sad, slow-motion black-pilling process that epitomizes the state of our society today. How can we have allowed ourselves to get to a place where we need to speak in code in order to avoid the ire of the "authorities"? To be clear, John Campbell is not the problem. We are.

Andrew Bridgen suspended as Tory MP over Covid vaccine comments

Andrew Bridgen has been suspended as a Conservative MP for spreading misinformation about Covid vaccination.

It comes after the North West Leicestershire MP posted a tweet that compared vaccines to the Holocaust.

Tory chief whip Simon Hart said the comments had "crossed a line" and caused great offence.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak also condemned the remarks, calling the comparison "utterly unacceptable".

Mr Hart said Mr Bridgen would lose the party whip - meaning he will sit as an independent - while a formal investigation takes place.

"As a nation we should be very proud of what has been achieved through the vaccine programme," the chief whip added.

"The vaccine is the best defence against Covid that we have. Misinformation about the vaccine causes harm and costs lives."

The BBC has contacted Mr Bridgen for a comment.

Covid cases in China touch 900 million - study

Some 900 million people in China have been infected with the coronavirus as of 11 January, according to a study by Peking University.

The report estimates that 64% of the country's population has the virus.

It ranks Gansu province, where 91% of the people are reported to be infected, at the top, followed by Yunnan, (84%) and and Qinghai (80%).

A top Chinese epidemiologist has also warned that cases will surge in rural China over the lunar new year.

The peak of China's Covid wave is expected to last two to three months, added Zeng Guang, ex-head of the Chinese Center for Disease Control.

Hundreds of millions of Chinese are travelling to their hometowns - many for the first time since the pandemic began - ahead of the lunar new year on 23 January.

China has stopped providing daily Covid statistics since abandoning zero-Covid.

But hospitals in big cities - where healthcare facilities are better and more easily accessible - have become crowded with Covid patients as the virus has spread through the country.

Speaking at an event earlier this month, Mr Zeng said it was "time to focus on the rural areas", in remarks reported in the Caixin news outlet.

Many elderly, sick and disabled in the countryside were already being left behind in terms of Covid treatment, he added.

China's central Henan province is the only province to have given details of infection rates - earlier this month a health official there said nearly 90% of the population had had Covid, with similar rates seen in urban and rural areas.

However government officials say many provinces and cities have passed the peak of infections.

The Lunar New Year holidays in China, which officially start from 21 January, involves the world's largest annual migration of people.

Some two billion trips are expected to be made in total and tens of millions of people have already travelled.

Last month, China abruptly abandoned its zero Covid policies. It also reopened its borders on Sunday.

Official data shows five or fewer deaths a day over the past month, numbers which are inconsistent with the long queues seen at funeral homes and reports of deaths on social media.

In December Chinese officials said they planned to issue monthly rather than daily updates on the Covid situation in the country.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) said China, which stopped reporting Covid fatalities from Tuesday, was heavily under-reporting Covid deaths.

In response, Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin stressed again at a regular press briefing on Thursday that Beijing has been sharing Covid data in "a timely, open and transparent manner in accordance with the law", having held technical exchanges with the WHO over the past month.

International health experts have predicted at least a million Covid-related deaths in China this year. Beijing has officially reported just over 5,000 deaths since the pandemic began, one of the lowest death rates in the world.

China reports almost 60,000 COVID-related deaths in just over a month

The announcement follows complaints that the Chinese government was failing to release data about the status of the pandemic.

China dropped its strict zero COVID policy on 7 December, unleashing the virus on the nation's 1.4 billion people.

It led to a surge in infections among the population, which has little immunity after the Chinese government focused on shielding its population rather than inoculation.

Beijing said the "emergency peak" of its latest coronavirus surge appeared to have passed.

The 59,938 people that died in hospitals between 8 December and 12 January had an average age of 80.3.

Of those, 5,503 were caused by respiratory function failure due to COVID infection while 54,435 resulted from a combination of diseases and COVID infections, officials said.

They said COVID fever and emergency hospitalisations had peaked, with the number of hospitalised coronavirus patients continuing to decline.

However, it said those "deaths related to COVID" occurred in hospitals, leaving open the possibility more people may have died at home.

The report would more than double China's official COVID-19 death toll to 10,775 since the virus was first detected in the city of Wuhan in late 2019.

Nationwide, "the number of fever clinic visitors is generally in a declining trend after peaking, both in cities and

rural areas," Jiao Yahui, an official from the National Health Commission, told a news conference.

Ms Jiao said the number of emergency treatment patients was also declining and the ratio of patients who had tested positive for COVID-19 was steadily dropping as well.

Wen Daxiang, a Shanghai Health Commission official, said China would strengthen health monitoring and management of its high-risk population and bolster the supply of drugs and medical equipment in rural areas.

Authorities had been reporting five deaths or fewer each day over the past month - despite long queues at funeral homes and body bags seen leaving crowded hospitals.

Last month officials said they planned monthly rather than daily updates.

It comes after the UK announced it would test random passengers on direct flights from mainland China to the UK for COVID-19.

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) said its new programme would see "a sample of passengers arriving in England from mainland China tested for COVID-19 at the point of their arrival".

The agency said passengers at Heathrow would be invited to take part in the study and all positive samples sent for sequencing.

While China reported nearly 60,000 COVID-related deaths in just over a month, the UK has seen nearly 178,000 deaths within 28 days of a positive test since the UK began recording COVID-related deaths.

Covid-19 support worth £4.5bn lost to error and fraud

An estimated £4.5bn in Covid-19 support has been lost to error and fraud since 2020, the tax authority has revealed.

The money was handed out through schemes to help households and businesses cope with the economic fallout of the pandemic.

The scale of the money lost was detailed in a letter to a committee of MPs overseeing government spending.

The letter says the estimate of £4.5bn did not count money recovered by the UK's tax authority, HMRC.

During the pandemic the government spent billions on a package of support to keep the economy afloat when lockdown restrictions were in place.

Last year a forecast by the UK's official economic analyst, the Office for Budget Responsibility, estimated the total cost of pandemic-related rescue measures to be £310bn.

The chair of the Treasury Select Committee, Harriett Baldwin, asked the government to provide a breakdown of how much of that money was lost to error and fraud.

In response, the chief executive of HMRC, Jim Harra, said the figure was estimated to be £4.5bn in total across two financial years, 2020-21 and 2021-22.

Of this sum, £3.5bn was lost through the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, £1bn through the Self Employed Income Support Scheme and £71m through the Eat Out To Help Out.

In the letter, Mr Harra wrote that Covid support schemes "helped millions of people and businesses through the pandemic".

He said, from the beginning of the pandemic, HMRC was "clear that the schemes would be targets for fraud and also that customers operating at pace and under pressure would make mistakes".

The schemes, Mr Harra said, were designed "in such a way as to minimise fraud and error while not unnecessarily delaying payments".

While Ms Baldwin accepted Covid funds were dispersed in a rush, she told the BBC "we do expect the full force of the law to fall on fraudsters when they are found".

HMRC is in the process of attempting to recover Covid support lost to error and fraud.

By the end of March 2022, HMRC said it had recovered more than £762m through compliance activity.

Lord Agnew resigned as a Treasury minister last year, attacking the government's handling of fraudulent Covid business loans.

Meanwhile, the Liberal Democrats say billions of pounds in tax has been left uncollected because thousands of HMRC staff have been transferred to work on Covid and Brexit schemes.

In response to parliamentary questions, Treasury minister Victoria Atkins said about 1,250 HMRC staff were redeployed to work on Covid-19 schemes in 2021-22.

She said revenue recouped by HMRC through compliance activity fell by £6bn in 2021-22, compared to the previous year.

"Civil servants are being moved from one crisis to another in a constant game of whack-a-mole," said Liberal Democrat Treasury spokeswoman, Sarah Olney.

"This is allowing criminals to get away with dodging paying millions of pounds in tax, while hard-working families see their taxes hiked and public services are on their knees."

HMRC said it moves resources "where and when they are most needed" and its compliance work "provides good value to the taxpayer".

Nobody knows better what the patient needs and what pills he must take than the PARTY knows!

Doubt this and you get declared insane, irresponsible, anti-social. You get stigmatized, socially "executed", burnt in the media, censored, defamed, character-assassinated. You may, as is the case with COVID, even get criminalised if you doubt the official party dogma. Ypour facts do not matter, they are fake. Your arguments must not be considered, they are irrational.

Its all the plan for centralised control and one-"elite" leadership that no longer stands liable to the people and runs a planned economy - planned down to the smallest detail of your most private of your private life.

Total control. Total tyranny.

You will soon get sanctioned if you do not eat what they want you to eat and if you overstep your monthly or yearly CO2 budget, take my word for it. That is possible once there is no more cash money, because every transaction then tells the dictorship what you have bought to eat. And if you have consummed your year's budget for meat, further transactions to pay for meat will automatically be banned by big brother thanks to no more cash money available as a payment option and all-embracing network-AI. You caused to much CO2 already for one year? Sorry, your holiday flight is not able to be processed. So far they try nudging as a tactic for the most, and clever media manipulation. Sooner or later it will turn into brute and ice-cold force, and choice will be replaced openly with designed lack of alternatives. It already has started.

You wrote this and that in your forum account? Sorry, tickets for bus and train may not be available to you anymore.

You wonder why you have not gotten that job? Well, think twice. You certainly will realise your sinful behaviour or opinion that made you unbearable.

China shows the way on how it is done. Brussels and the Green-leftist gang in all Western countries are all to eager to follow.

You eat more than 2mg of salt that the party wants you to stick with? You reject the precious plant oils that must be sold to make monocultures profitable even when you get sick and die early? Your buying list does not show as much vegetable as they demand you to eat so that the dogma does not get threatened by social disobedience, no compliance, non-unformity? - Fear the wrath of the central committee that knows all this and evertyhing else so much better! Consume! Produce protection money! Vote, no matter who you vote for, just legitimate the system and VOTE! Obey!

You laugh? That is becasue most people still refuse to pout the pieces of the puzzle together. Take me by my word when you are old and near death. It will turn out to be like I said.

On all this, I am beyond the illusions of hope, because here is not just malice intention as well as hilarious stupidity at work, but also the inherent dynamics of a development that has already gained overwhelming momentum.

China Covid: Coffins sell out as rural losses mount

The BBC has found evidence of a considerable number of Covid-related deaths in China's rural regions, as the virus spread from big cities to more remote areas with older populations.

In Xinzhou region of northern Shanxi province the coffin makers have been busy. We watched the skilled craftsmen as they carved elaborate decorations into the freshly-cut wood. Over recent months, they say, they haven't had time to stop.

One villager, a customer, told us that at times the coffins have sold out. Laughing with a dose of the black humour you find in the area, he added that those in the funeral industry had been "earning a small fortune".

There has been much debate about the real number of Covid deaths in China, after the virus ripped through its megacities.

Some 80% of the population - more than a billion people - have been infected since China scrapped restrictions in December, according to leading epidemiologist Wu Zunyou. Last weekend China reported 13,000 Covid-related deaths in less than a week, adding to the 60,000 deaths it has counted since December.

But these deaths have been in hospitals. In rural areas there are only sparse medical facilities and those who die at home are mostly not being counted.

There is not even an official estimate for the number of village deaths. But the BBC found evidence the death toll is mounting.

We visited a crematorium and they too have been busy, mourners dressed in white walking forward carrying the ceremonial box which would eventually contain the remains of a loved one.

In another village, we saw one man and woman loading huge tissue paper birds onto the back of a flatbed truck. "They're cranes. You ride the crane into the afterlife," the woman said.

As they packed up other elaborate, Buddhist images newly made from tissue paper they said they'd had an explosion in demand for their funeral decorations, two or three times what's normal.

Everyone we met in this part of Shanxi who is connected to the funeral industry told us a similar story about an increase in deaths and they all attributed it to the coronavirus.

"Some sick people are already very weak," one man said as he continued to load the truck. "Then they catch Covid, and their elderly bodies can't handle it."

We followed the truck to where the artworks were being delivered and met Wang Peiwei, whose sister-in-law had just died.

The mother-of-two in her 50s had suffered from severe diabetes for years and then she caught the coronavirus.

"After she got Covid she had a high fever, and her organs began to fail. Her immune system wasn't strong enough to make it," said Mr Wang.

The courtyard at the family house was filling up with decorations for the ceremony. Mr Wang told us there were still more images, flowers and the like to come.

Standing in front of a tent in the courtyard where her body was covered up he explained that, on the day of the funeral, 16 people would carry her coffin and bury her in accordance with tradition.

He said that, though the cost of funeral arrangements had skyrocketed because of the number of Covid deaths, they would pay the extra money in her honour.

"She was a great person. We must hold a grand event to send her off, the best we can afford," he said.

Every year, hundreds of millions of younger people go back to their hometowns at this time to celebrate the Lunar New Year. It's China's most important festival.

The villages they are returning to are now places where mostly older people live - people who are more vulnerable to Covid.

There has been great concern that this year's Spring Festival mass migration could quickly spread the coronavirus into more remote areas, to deadly effect.

The government warned those in the cities not to go home this year if their elderly relatives had not yet been infected.

Doctor Dong Yongming, who operates a very small village clinic, thinks at least 80% of residents there had already caught Covid.

"All the villagers come to us when they're sick," he said. "We're the only clinic here."

Most who had died there had underlying diseases, he said.

In terms of managing the medicine they had as Covid hit the village, Dr Dong said they would not sell medicine to people beyond their needs.

"For example, I would only give out four Ibuprofen tablets per person," he said. "They don't need two boxes. It'll just be wasted."

However he said he believed the worst of this Covid wave was already behind them: "We haven't had any patients in recent days."

Those who die in this region are buried in the fields. Farmers then continue to plant crops and raise livestock around the mounds of their ancestors.

Driving along the road we noticed fresh mounds of earth with red flags placed on the top. A lot of them. A farmer herding goats confirmed that they were new graves.

"Families have been burying elderly people here after they die. There are just too many," he said.

In his village of a few thousand, he said that more than 40 residents had died during the most recent Covid wave.

"One day someone would die, then the next day someone else. It's been non-stop over the past month," he said.

But in the countryside here, they are quite philosophical about life and death. This farmer said people would still celebrate the new year like they always have.

"My son and daughter-in-law will come back soon," he said.

I asked if locals were worried that family members returning could mean more infections.

"People shouldn't worry. No fear!" he said. "You will still become infected even if you hide. Most of us have already got it and we are fine."

He, and many others are hoping that Covid's most deadly work has already been done and that, for the time being at least, their energy can be spent on being with the living rather than burying the dead.

President Biden to end COVID-19 emergencies on May 11

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden informed Congress on Monday that he will end the twin national emergencies for addressing COVID-19 on May 11, as most of the world has returned closer to normalcy nearly three years after they were first declared.

The move to end the national emergency and public health emergency declarations would formally restructure the federal coronavirus response to treat the virus as an endemic threat to public health that can be managed through agencies' normal authorities.

It comes as lawmakers have already ended elements of the emergencies that kept millions of Americans insured during the pandemic. Combined with the drawdown of most federal COVID-19 relief money, it would also shift the development of vaccines and treatments away from the direct management of the federal government.

Biden’s announcement comes in a statement opposing resolutions being brought to the floor this week by House Republicans to bring the emergency to an immediate end. House Republicans are also gearing up to launch investigations on the federal government’s response to COVID-19.

Then-President Donald Trump's Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar first declared a public health emergency on Jan. 31, 2020, and Trump later declared the COVID-19 pandemic a national emergenc y that March. The emergencies have been repeatedly extended by Biden since he took office in January 2021, and are set to expire in the coming months. The White House said Biden plans to extend them both briefly to end on May 11.

“An abrupt end to the emergency declarations would create wide-ranging chaos and uncertainty throughout the health care system — for states, for hospitals and doctors’ offices, and, most importantly, for tens of millions of Americans,” the Office of Management and Budget wrote in a Statement of Administration Policy.

More than 1.1 million people in the U.S. have died from COVID-19 since 2020, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, including about 3,700 last week.

Congress has already blunted the reach of the public health emergency that had the most direct impact on Americans, as political calls to end the declaration intensified. Lawmakers have refused for months to fulfill the Biden administration’s request for billions more dollars to extend free COVID vaccines and testing. And the $1.7 trillion spending package passed last year and signed into law by Biden put an end to a rule that barred states from kicking people off Medicaid, a move that is expected to see millions of people lose their coverage after April 1.

"In some respects, the Biden administration is catching up to what a lot of people in the country have been experiencing," said Larry Levitt, the executive vice president for health policy at Kaiser Family Foundation. “That said, hundreds of people a day are still dying from COVID.”

The costs of COVID-19 vaccines are also expected to skyrocket once the government stops buying them, with Pfizer saying it will charge as much as $130 per dose. Only 15% of Americans have received the recommended, updated booster that has been offered since last fall.

People with private insurance could have some out-of-pocket costs for vaccines, especially if they go to an out-of-network provider, Levitt said. Free at-home COVID tests will also come to an end. And hospitals will not get extra payments for treating COVID patients.

Legislators did extend for another two years telehealth flexibilities that were introduced as COVID-19 hit, leading health care systems around the country to regularly deliver care by smartphone or computer.

The Biden administration had previously considered ending the emergency last year, but held off amid concerns about a potential “winter surge” in cases and to provide adequate time for providers, insurers and patients to prepare for its end.

Officials said the administration would use the next three months to transition the response to conventional methods, warning that an immediate end to the emergency authorities “would sow confusion and chaos into this critical wind-down.”

“To be clear, continuation of these emergency declarations until May 11 does not impose any restriction at all on individual conduct with regard to COVID-19," the administration said. “They do not impose mask mandates or vaccine mandates. They do not restrict school or business operations. They do not require the use of any medicines or tests in response to cases of COVID-19.”

Case counts have trended downward after a slight bump over the winter holidays, and are significantly below levels seen over the last two winters — though the number of tests performed for the virus and reported to public health officials has sharply decreased.

On Monday, the World Health Organization said the coronavirus remains a global health emergency, even as a key advisory panel for the group found the pandemic may be nearing an “inflexion point” where higher levels of immunity can lower virus-related deaths. China, for example, reported an unprecedented surge in December after lifting most of its COVID-19 restrictions.

Moments before the White House’s announcement, Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla., accused the president of unnecessarily extending the public health emergency to take action on issues like forgiving some federal student loan debts.

“The country has largely returned to normal,” Cole said Monday, introducing a Republican-backed bill calling for an end to the health emergency. “Everyday Americans have returned to work and to school with no restrictions on their activities. It is time that the government acknowledges this reality: the pandemic is over.”

The House was scheduled to vote Tuesday on legislation that would terminate the public health emergency.

The bill’s author, Rep. Brett Guthrie, R-Ky., said he still hopes the House will proceed with a vote. He said he was surprised by the White House move, but thinks the legislation may have played a role in prompting the administration to act.

“I think we should go forward,” he said late Monday as lawmakers returned to the Capitol. “If for some reason they don’t do it on May the 11th, the vehicle is still there for Congress to take back its authority.”

Covid cases have shot up nearly 50 per cent in 10 days as the new, highly contagious, Kraken subvariant sweeps the country.

This Omicron subvariant doubled its share of Covid cases in the UK in the first two weeks of January, accounting for 11 per cent of new infections on January 16, according to data from GISAID.

And, if it follows the same trajectory as the US, its country of origin, its share will jump to around 40 per cent by Sunday, the data suggests.

In the US, Kraken – officially known as XBB.1.5 – grew from 12 to 42 per cent of cases in just three weeks.

The faster a new variant increases its share of infections the more contagious it is – and the more likely it is to fuel a new wave of the virus.

The rapid increase in infections in the past week or so in the UK comes just as cases had fallen by well over half in the first three weeks of January.

Hopes had been raised that the UK could be in for a spell of lower infection levels and that XBB.1.5 may not be spreading as fast as had initially been feared.

At that point, nine days ago, daily symptomatic cases had fallen below 100,000 for the first time in more than a year to stand at just over 85,000.

However, since then they have risen by 45 per cent to 123,265 on Saturday, according to the latest figures from the ZOE Health Study.

Professor Danny Altmann, of Imperial College London, is concerned that XBB.1.5, which is thought to have originated in New York, is behind the recent surge.

It is not just more contagious than previous variants, it is better at evading immunity built up from vaccines and previous infections because of differences in its makeup.

“I’m concerned that with XBB.1.5 we have another increment in transmissibility and immune evasiveness and our complacent reliance on established immunity may be misplaced,” he said. “We continue to be in uncharted territory.”

He is worried the public may not appreciate the threat Covid still poses and would like to see greater actions taken to prevent the spread of the virus.

“We have a country where uptake of the latest booster round in the over 50s has been poor, so we have a nation of rapidly waning defences. The situation in China reminds us that infection by Omicron subvariants is far from intrinsically mild in a poorly immunised population,” he said.

Professor Lawrence Young, a virologist at Warwick University, adds: “We can expect fluctuations in covid infections from the circulation of more infectious variants such as XBB.1.5.

“There is also the impact of waning immunity, particularly as only 64.5 per cent of those aged 50 and over have received the autumn booster.”

However, although cases are going up quickly they are not expected to go anything like as high as they did in the two peaks of last year, when daily infections reach 350,000, leaving about 5.5 per cent of the population at one point.

Professor Karl Friston, a virus modeller at University College London, meanwhile, believes “we have just reached the nadir of the current wave and cases will start going up again”.

He said: “These fluctuations, with a peak every few months, are what we can expect for the next year or so.”

Professor Friston’s modelling forecasts the next peak will be in late March. At that point, about 3.5 per cent of the UK population would have Covid.

Steve Griffin, a virologist at Leeds University, believes the return to school and work after Christmas may also be playing a role – an effect which can sometimes take a few weeks to filter through the system.

“I would be surprised if there hasn’t been an increase in prevalence caused by a return to schools and workplaces, especially given the current lack of mitigations,” he said.

Cases are also being kept high by a lack of general lack of awareness that Covid rates remain so high.

A study last week from Swansea and Cardiff Metropolitan Universities found that most people with Covid symptoms are behaving much as they normally do, taking few precautions to prevent passing the virus on to others.

Only one in six adults with respiratory symptoms took a test to determine whether it was Covid, a cold or the flu – all of which have similar symptoms – according to the survey taken in December and January.

This found that just one in 10 wore a mask and the same proportion isolated – while only one in 20 sought help from a doctor.

Confusion about symptoms, together with high levels of colds and flu over the winter, meant many people with respiratory illness assumed it wasn’t Covid – while the end of free testing, in a cost of living crisis, meant few people took tests to find out, researchers said.

According to the latest figures from the Office for National Statistics, Covid infections continued to decrease in England, Wales and Scotland in the week ending 17 January 2023, and in Northern Ireland in the week ending 14 January 2023.

These tally with ZOE numbers which also recorded decreases for that period – but which are more up to date than the ONS numbers and show cases are now rising again.

Covid in China: Officials say current wave is 'coming to an end'

Chinese health officials say the country's current wave of Covid-19 infections is "coming to an end".

The number of severe Covid cases and deaths is trending downward, the country's Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said in a report.

It also said there had been "no obvious rebound" during Lunar New Year holidays last week, where millions reunited for family gatherings.

There have long been questions raised about China's Covid reporting.

But experts say the decline reported now corresponds with the expected timing of an end to this major wave.

The virus tore through Chinese cities and towns after authorities lifted zero-Covid restrictions in December. However fever clinic visit rates have dropped over 90% through January and hospitalisation rates are down over 85%.

Separately, the World Health Organization (WHO) said the pandemic remained a global emergency, saying it was too early to lift the highest level of alert which it declared three years ago.

It said the weekly Covid death rate had been rising in recent weeks and that more than 170,000 Covid-19-related deaths had been reported globally within the last eight weeks, adding that a lack of surveillance now made it more difficult to track down variants.

But the WHO acknowledged that the world was in a better position than during the peak of the Omicron wave a year ago.

Fears that the virus could surge again during the festive period have also not yet been realised.

The CDC said: "There has not been an obvious rebound in Covid cases during the Lunar New Year holidays.

"In this time, no new variant has been discovered, and the country's current wave is coming to an end."

It also reported a sharp decline in the daily Covid death toll reported by hospitals - from a peak of 4,300 deaths on 4 January to 896 deaths on 23 January.

Infectious diseases expert Hsu Li Yang told BBC News: "This drop in deaths follows the decline in the first huge wave of cases after China relaxed its restrictions, which is understandable and has been seen in virtually every country experiencing a large Covid wave.

"We will know soon if the Lunar New Year celebrations will trigger another surge in China cases, but it is unlikely to match what was experienced in December and the earlier part of January 2023."

One of China's leading epidemiologists - and former head of the CDC - Zeng Guang had earlier this month warned that cases would surge in rural areas during the new year.

BBC News has also found evidence of a considerable number of Covid-related deaths in China's rural regions, as the virus spread from big cities to more remote areas with older populations.

However, the CDC said there had been no immediate spike following the festive period.

It's estimated that 226 million passenger trips were taken during the Lunar New Year festive season from 22-27 January - a 70% increase from last year when pandemic restrictions were still in place across many parts of China.

According to CDC data, Covid deaths halved in consecutive weeks in January. A total of 12,658 deaths were recorded between 13-19 January, while 6,364 deaths were recorded the following week.

In December, Beijing abruptly ended draconian Covid curbs that had seen millions of its citizens locked down over the past three years.

That led to a severe spike in Covid infections and deaths, with some experts estimating a majority of the population contracted Covid in the weeks following.

A Peking University study said that as of 11 January, some 900 million people in China had been infected with the coronavirus, amid multiple reports of overcrowded hospitals and crematoria.

However, Chinese authorities initially maintained that there had only been seven deaths since the end of zero-Covid on 7 December, after narrowing its definition of what counts as a Covid death.

The National Health Commission later reported almost 60,000 Covid-related deaths between 8 December and 12 January, after it began including deaths from underlying conditions as well as respiratory failure caused by Covid.

China's official Covid data is believed to be vastly underreported, and authorities stopped releasing daily caseload reports last month.

Beijing has said it has been sharing Covid data in "a timely, open and transparent manner in accordance with the law."

...the scientific community from the CDC to the WHO to the FDA and their representatives, repeatedly overstated the evidence and misled the public about its own views and policies, including on natural vs. artificial immunity, school closures and disease transmission, aerosol spread, mask mandates, and vaccine effectiveness and safety, especially among the young. All of these were scientific mistakes at the time, not in hindsight. Amazingly, some of these obfuscations continue to the present day.

The message of General Christian Blanchon paying tribute to the non-vaccinated

They are there, by your side, they seem normal, but they are superheroes.
Even if I were fully vaccinated, I would admire the unvaccinated for standing up to the greatest pressure I have ever seen, including from spouses, parents, children, friends, colleagues and doctors.
People who have been capable of such personality, such courage and such critical ability undoubtedly embody the best of humanity. *

They are found everywhere, in all ages, levels of education, countries and opinions.

They are of a particular kind; these are the soldiers that any army of light wishes to have in its ranks.

They are the parents that every child wishes to have and the children that every parent dreams of having.

They are beings above the average of their societies, they are the essence of the peoples who have built all cultures and conquered horizons.

They are there, by your side, they seem normal, but they are superheroes.

Quatsch to the above Bill Gates quote. The link between education, healthcare, social status and dropping birthrates, is well established. The demographic explosion takes place in the poor countries of the world. In the rich countries, societies overage - because birth-rates drop. Same to say about ethnic groups within one nation'S society. The rich and well-situated have less children than the poor.

Fertility declines near the end of the COVID-19 pandemic: Evidence of the 2022 birth declines in Germany and Sweden

https://www.bib.bund.de/Publikation/2022/Fertility-declines-near-the-end-of-the-COVID-19-pandemic-Evidence-of-the-2022-birth-declines-in-Germany-and-Sweden.html?nn=1219558

Following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, several countries faced short-term fertility declines in 2020 and 2021, a development which did not materialize in Scandinavian and German-speaking countries. However, more recent birth statistics show a steep fertility decline in the aftermath of the pandemic in 2022. We aim to provide data on the unexpected birth decline in 2022 in Germany and Sweden and relate these data to pandemic-related contextual developments which could have influenced the post-pandemic fertility development. We rely on monthly birth statistics and present seasonally adjusted monthly Total Fertility Rates (TFR) for Germany and Sweden. We relate the nine-months lagged fertility rates to contextual developments regarding COVID-19 mortality and morbidity, unemployment rates, and COVID-19 vaccinations.

The seasonally adjusted monthly TFR of Germany dropped from 1.5-1.6 in 2021 to 1.3-1.4 in 2022, a decline of about 14 %. In Sweden, the corresponding TFR dropped from about 1.7 in 2021 to 1.5-1.6 in 2022, a decline of almost 10 %. There is no association of the fertility trends with changes in unemployment, infection rates, or COVID-19 deaths. However, there is a strong association between the onset of vaccination programmes and the fertility decline nine months after of this onset. The fertility decline in the first months of 2022 in Germany and Sweden is remarkable. Common explanations of fertility change during the pandemic do not apply in its aftermath. The association between the onset of mass vaccinations and subsequent fertility decline indicates that people adjusted their behaviour to get vaccinated before becoming pregnant, as societies were opening up with post-pandemic life conditions. Our study provides novel information on fertility declines in countries previously not affected by any COVID-19 baby bust. We provide a first appraisal of the COVID-19-fertility nexus in the immediate aftermath of the pandemic.
