Australian archbishop '''deeply troubled''' by Oxford vaccine deal
A senior Catholic archbishop has warned he is "deeply troubled" by Australia's vaccine deal with AstraZeneca, saying the potential vaccine uses a fetal cell line that creates an "ethical quandary" for Christians.
Sydney Archbishop Anthony Fisher penned a letter -- also signed by Anglican and Greek Orthodox religious leaders -- to Prime Minister Scott Morrison outlining concerns of some Christians over the vaccine's apparent use of a cell line derived from an elective abortion performed decades ago.
Fisher, writing in the forthcoming edition of Catholic Weekly, says he believes it would not be unethical to receive the vaccine "if there is no alternative available" but adds he is "deeply troubled by it".
"I'm a strong advocate of vaccinations -– and not just for COVID-19 –- as long as they are safe and ethically obtained," he adds.
In 2017, the Vatican's Pontifical Academy for Life decreed that vaccinations "can be used with a clear conscience" and doing so "does not signify some sort of cooperation with voluntary abortion".
So alam na, mas priority nila ang mga 4Ps kaysa health workers.
Pag naubos health workers 4Ps pa tauhin nyo sa hospital. [emoji23]

I hope they can do more study on this case. Although I doubt if it will be published. This is interesting. She tested negative, I'm assuming negative where her symptoms are already gone. Then positive again 2 days after, then died from the 2nd one. I wonder what happened. Did she got re-infected by someone with a stronger variant? Or was it the same virus but wasn't fully killed by the immune system so it evolved and killed her the 2nd time?
Baka like anti-biotic, you need to finish the treatment kahit nag negative ka na sa swab test.

Either too afraid, too poor or too ignorant to go to the hospitals... mas inuuna sa albularyo...

Why 50 % of deaths never reached the hospitals ?
This chart breaks down COVID-19 cases into two categories -- admitted to hospitals and never admitted. Those who were never admitted are shown by the lighter shaded portion of each bar.
Highlighted are the severe and critical. While a great number of the severe cases have received proper hospital healthcare, 74 percent of critical cases were never admitted to a hospital. The black bar shows more than half of all recorded COVID-19 fatalities were never admitted to a hospital.

Healthy 33-yr-old man first to have confirmed reinfection with SARS-CoV-2 | Ars Technica
The man’s first infection was in late March. He reported having a cough with sputum, fever, sore throat, and a headache for three days before testing positive for the virus on March 26. Though his symptoms subsided days later, he was hospitalized on March 29 and remained in the hospital until April 14, when he tested negative for SARS-CoV-2 in two tests taken 24-hours apart.
About 4.5 months later, the man tested positive for the virus again. This time, his infection was caught during entry screening at a Hong Kong airport, as he returned from a trip to Spain, via the United Kingdom, on August 15. Though he had no symptoms, he was again hospitalized. Clinical data showed he had signs of an acute infection, but he remained asymptomatic throughout his time in the hospital.
Researchers decoded the entire genetic sequences of the SARS-CoV-2 viruses isolated from the man in both infections and found that his two infections were caused by clearly different strains of the coronavirus. The first strain looked much like SARS-CoV-2 strains collected in April and March in the United States and England. The second was closely related to strains collected in England and Switzerland in July and August. Overall, there were 24 genetic differences between the two infecting viral strains, including significant differences in the code for the infamous spike protein.
My beef is WHO recommendations is they always tend to be cavalier, instead of erring on the side of caution.
As the agency tasked with controlling the spread of disease, IMO they should be recommending that everyone start off with a high level of caution, and then slowly relax the restrictions as new data comes in. Instead baliktad yung approach nila. Remember early in the pandemic WHO advised against travel advisories keeping out people from China. They also said masks not necessary, they also said no evidence the virus is airborne. Our own admin followed WHO recommendations, and look where we are now. Of course political critics ni pres take him to task for this and perhaps rightly so, but he is not an expert in immunology and only followed the prevailing guidance from what should be the foremost international body on infectious disease.
Now that a bunch of countries are in deep **** for following WHO advise sila pa malakas loob mag labas ng releases saying they "are very disappointed" in so-and-so country's coronavirus response.
Seriously sarap sapakin that Tedros asshole.
Coronavirus will be with us forever, Sage scientist warns - BBC News
quotes:
Sir Mark Walport said people would need to be vaccinated at regular intervals."This is a virus that is going to be with us forever in some form or another, and almost certainly will require repeated vaccinations," he said."So, a bit like flu, people will need re-vaccination at regular intervals."
