    I think the better strategy (given our limited 3rd world resources) is to focus on getting as many vaccinated as possible.

    Note: Vaxing is not the sole solution, but it will help. Gawin muna yung magagawa...
    Yup vaccine is not the sole answer but at least it gives you a fighting chance, mas gusto ko naman vaccinated na ako bago ma infect instead of the other way around.

    Si Kags baka gusto mag organize ng ganitong party?

    Pfizer booster shot could offer protection for 9-1 months — initial data | The Times of Israel

    Pfizer’s booster COVID-19 shot is effective for 9 – 10 months and maybe even longer, according to preliminary data from Israeli research leaked to Channel 12 news on Sunday.

    The network said initial results from a study on antibody levels being conducted by the Tel Hashomer Hospital are set to be made public in 2 – 4 weeks, and will show that the third shot offers different, apparently improved, protection from the first two doses.

    refusing vaccination is one thing.
    not having the availability of the vaccine, thru no fault of his, is another thing.

    Philippines receives 700K AstraZeneca jabs from Australia | Philstar.com

    The Philippines received Wednesday 700,000 doses of AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine donated by the Australian government.

    The jabs landed past 9 a.m. onboard a Cathay Pacific plane at Terminal 3 of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport.

    The vaccine shipment makes up the first batch of a total of 3.6 million shots that the Australian government is donating to the Philippines.

    In the old days...

    A Cow Head Will Not Erupt From Your Body If You Get A Smallpox Vaccine : Goats and Soda : NPR

    people were also terrified of this new idea... And religious leaders said it was immoral to stop a disease that God has created.
    It's quite amusing reading actually. If one compares the attitudes then with now, it's obvious a lot of people haven't changed

    Ano akala nila, chicken pox lang?

    Incidentally, there have been studies showing the possibility of developing shingles later in life is much less by getting the varicella shot compared to those who recovered from a natural infection.

    Honestly, my outlook on this is hindi naman tayo maging OA sa pag-iingat, or to vax ourselves silly... yung tama lang, based on sound medical advice.

    Pero hindi naman pwede yung “MATIRA MATIBAY” approach advocated by some.

    • Ganyan ginawa ni Bolsonaro and what happened? 600,000 Brazilians died. All smothering to their deaths faster than they could be buried.
    • Ganyan din sa India (not voluntarily, but dahil palpak sistema) – 400,000+ died, crematoriums couldn’t keep up, and may bonus pa na Delta variant (tapos na sana problema eh!)
    • Ganun din si Trump at the start sa US (nagpabakuna naman din pala later ) 700,000 deaths, 9 million active cases...


    If one can hold one’s head up, and squarely face the grieving survivors of those who lost loved ones if something like that were to happen here... aber, sige nga...

    Sa True Kyusi, only AZN is available for those authorized to receive booster shot. Sa UK and Canada, di na binibigay ang AZN as a booster...

    Vitamin K, D and A bind to the SARS‐CoV‐2 spike protein

    Molecular Simulations suggest Vitamins, Retinoids and Steroids as Ligands of the Free Fatty Acid Pocket of the SARS‐CoV‐2 Spike Protein
    - PMC


    When you are bwenas you are really bwenas. The only supplement na iniinom ko this covid pandemic. Vitamin K2.pa talaga nagtop sa fat-solubles effective against sars-cov2.

    By the way hindi ko araw-araw iniinom yan. Nilalaro ko pa year 2018 or 2019 ako nagstart.

    whether we admit it or not,
    we are now probably enjoying some level of herd immunity the myriads of vaccinated people around us, have made possible.

    Jabbed, recovered, or dead. That's how we got herd immunity.

    Hara Kiri...Delta Variant mutated itself to self extinction.

    What's behind the rapid disappearance of the delta variant in Japan? It could be self-extinction. | The Japan Times


    Three months after the delta variant spurred record daily nationwide caseloads of nearly 26,000, new COVID-19 infections in Japan have plummeted, dropping below 200 in recent weeks. Highlighting that drop was the fact that no deaths were reported on Nov. 7 — the first time that had happened in about 15 months.

    Many scholars point to a variety of possibilities, which include one of the highest vaccination rates among advanced countries with 75.7% of residents fully vaccinated as of Wednesday. Other potential factors are the social distancing and mask-wearing measures that are now deeply embedded in Japanese society.

    But the chief reason may be related to the genetic changes that the coronavirus undergoes during reproduction, at a pace of around two mutations per month. According to a potentially revolutionary theory proposed by Ituro Inoue, a professor at the National Institute of Genetics, the delta variant in Japan accumulated too many mutations to the virus’s error-correcting, non-structural protein called nsp14. As a result, the virus struggled to repair the errors in time, ultimately leading to “self-destruction.”

    When the researchers went on to examine the virus’s error-correcting enzyme nsp14, they discovered that the vast majority of nsp14 specimens in Japan seemed to have undergone many genetic changes in mutation sites called A394V.

    “We were literally shocked to see the findings,” Inoue told The Japan Times. “The delta variant in Japan was highly transmissible and keeping other variants out. But as the mutations piled up, we believe it eventually became a faulty virus and it was unable to make copies of itself. Considering that the cases haven’t been increasing, we think that at some point during such mutations it headed straight toward its natural extinction.”

    Inoue’s theory, while innovative, would lend support to the mysterious disappearance of the delta variant’s spread in Japan. While much of the rest of the world with similarly high vaccination rates, including South Korea and some Western countries, are suffering from record waves of new infections, Japan appears to be a peculiar case in that COVID-19 cases have remained subdued despite trains and restaurants filling up following the end of the most recent state of emergency.

    “If the virus were alive and well, cases for sure would increase as masking and vaccination do not prevent breakthrough infections in some cases,” Inoue said.

    “Nsp14 works with other virus proteins and has a critical function to protect the virus RNA from breaking apart,” he said when asked about Inoue’s findings. “Studies have shown that a virus with a crippled nsp14 has a significantly reduced ability to replicate, so this can be one factor behind the rapid decline in new cases. The nsp14 is virus-derived, and the chemical agent to curb this protein could become a promising medicine, with development already underway.”

    Japan seems to be an anomaly in that the delta variant was virtually shutting out alpha and other variants by late August. On the other hand, other countries — including India and Indonesia, both of which were hit particularly hard by the delta variant — have reported a mix of alpha and delta strains among cases.

    A similar natural extinction of the coronavirus could possibly be observed overseas, Inoue says, adding that detecting that would be difficult as no other country seems to have accumulated as many mutations in the virus’s nsp14 as in Japan, though similar mutations at the A394V site have been discovered in at least 24 countries.

    But Inoue’s theory may also help explain why the outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) ended abruptly in 2003. An in vitro experiment in which the researchers caused mutations in nsp14 in the virus that causes SARS led to findings that the virus eventually could not replicate itself as mutations piled up.
