How to keep yourself safer and protected from the new COVID-19 Variant XBB.1.5 of 2023?

New COVID-19 Variant XBB.1.5 What is XBB.1.5? The New COVID-19 variant XBB.1.5 was discovered for the first time in the US in New York in October 2022. It is a recombinant or hybrid virus subvariant, which means it consists of two strains, in this case, two descendants of the Omicron BA.2 sub lineage. The XBB.1.5 variation features a mutation that virologists think makes the virus more capable…

Just watched a clip from American Dad the episode that Stan got stuck in the TV and my hazbin Hotel brain rot activated and I thought it could be a good premise to a fiction idea. Vox uses his old TV set to steal souls from the mortal world and if they want to escape from his show they have to make a deal.

When I watched the clip I found out the host character was named Alistair Covax. And when people interrupt his show he turns into this and kills them

Using 2019 as the last “typical year,” Super Sally compares the Vital Statistics data for births and deaths during 2023 for the Philippines.

“New readers may be shocked at the excess mortality in 2021, which started only in March of that year,” she writes.  However, “I believe that the 2021 mortality and birth data was throttled in early 2022, and the devastation of 2021 will likely be hidden forever.”

Adding the number of fewer births and the number of excess deaths for the years 4 years 2020 to 2023, Super Sally calculates that there is an “unrealized population” of 1.285 million; people who likely should have been living and contributing to the population, but are not.

The Philippines Civil Registration System is responsible for collecting and maintaining vital statistics, including births, marriages, and deaths. The data is obtained from vital events registered at the appropriate Office of the City/Municipal Civil Registrar throughout the country and subsequently submitted for encoding to the Office of the Civil Registrar General through the Provincial Statistical Offices of the Philippine Statistics Authority (“PSA”).

On a yearly basis, the PSA publishes a report on these vital statistics called the Vital Statistics Report (“VSR”).  The VSR relating to the year 2023 was published on 7 November 2024.

The Philippines’ mass COVID-19 vaccination program was initiated in March 2021. While there were a few COVID “vaccine” brands used in the Philippines, it is the Jannsen injection supplied by COVAX that seems to have been the most deadly.

“This is not to say other injectables were not deadly and causative of excess deaths, just that Janssen drove those excess deaths to a new devastating high!” Super Sally writes.

Brazilian-developed vaccine against Covid-19 registered by Anvisa

The new vaccine against Covid-19 developed by the Brazilian company Zalika Farmacêutica has been entered into the National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) this week, Agencia Brasil reported. The drug can be used in people aged 12 and over and is to be administered in two doses, 21 days apart, with boosters after 6 months for those over 18 years of age.

The technology used in the Zalika vaccine is called “recombinant” because its molecules are formed by combining two different sources. In this case, the protein S antigen (spike) -capable of promoting a response from the immune system- and the saponin-based adjuvant allow the mixture to enhance the production of antibodies. This form of production brings greater safety to the pharmaceutical industry, Anvisa explained in a statement.

The new immunizer is the sixth to receive definitive individual registration from Anvisa, in addition to Comirnaty Ipfizer/Wyeth, Comirnaty bivalent (Pfizer), Janssen Vaccine (Janssen-Cila), Oxford/Covishield (Fiocruz and Astra-Zeneca) and Spikevax bivalent vaccines have received this type of authorization. Pfizer/Biontech, Astra-Zeneca, Janssen, Moderna, Sinopharm, and Sinovac also have definitive registration in the form of the Covax Facility consortium.

an underworld (under-temple) ADVENTURE moment aka me rubbing my hands together in utter glee at getting to write the sith shrine below the temple. no, not the shrine in the depths that everyone thinks was the sith temple that's been purified. the one below that. the one that's seeping darkness upward through coruscant.

The first thing to draw the eye is the fire. It flickers and glows in a circle atop what looks like a pedestal formed out of the bedrock. It looks like the beginning of a stalagmite, only the base remaining while the higher rock, and more, has been removed to create an imitation of a natural formation. Its top is too regular to be one, below that circle of red flame that does not touch its surface. Red is a normal fire colour. It’s the coldest part of a flame. But that red leans toward orange, which it turns into as the fire gets hotter. These flames are red in an unnatural way that only underlies the screaming from the object they circle: a cluster of kyber similar in form to the healing crystals kept under lock and key by the Circle of Jedi Healers but on a scale that far outpaces theirs. Its facets reflect the flames in such a way that it looks like something inside the crystal is dancing. The kyber is just as red and just as terrible as the soundless flames surrounding—containing? Trapping?—it. If it remains in the kyberite druse it was formed in, that lies below the surface of whatever the shorn rock holds in its basin. It shimmers as well, reflecting its companions liquidly. It’s all red. All blood. Not the kind most people are familiar with, venous blood that’s dark from losing oxygen, the kind that gets drawn out at you at the doctor’s. This is the red of the artery, bright and almost unreal, plastic-y, in its colour. A Sith’s kyber crystal is described as bloodshine for a reason. I stare at this one and swear that I can see it throbbing like a heart laid bare after being carved free. It kicks at something at the back of my mind, a rabbit’s foot thumping the ground in warning of something older and darker than anything that even Lene has seen in her explorations.

picking up the clone wars sketches for the unmade sith shrine arc, adding in lady covax's fortress on mustafar (which looks like it was inspired from those concept sketches), the wellspring of the force planet, & momin's cave (which i actually didn't look at until after deciding the 'wellspring' coming out of the ground like a scooped-out stalagmite).

“The development of covid-19 vaccines was a scientific triumph. Converting it into medical benefits has required getting shots into the arms of as many people as possible, a process fraught with political and logistical hurdles. Nonetheless, a new study finds that jabs cut the disease’s death toll by 63% during their first year.

To calculate the number of lives saved by vaccines, researchers at Imperial College London needed to estimate how many people would have died without the jabs. They simulated this scenario using an epidemiological model, which calculates the shares of the population that are susceptible to a disease; get exposed; get infected; die or recover; and are vulnerable to reinfection. Each of these rates depends on factors like the transmissibility and severity of the pathogen, how much people interact with each other, demography, health-care quality and, crucially, vaccination...

The study also found that vaccines helped rich and poor alike. Rich countries gobbled up 2.5 times as many doses per person as did the poor ones covered by Covax, a jab-distribution scheme, but the paper found that nearly as many deaths were prevented in the Covax countries (around 7m) as in rich ones (roughly 8m). This is proportional to the number of people in these groups of countries aged at least 65, who are most at risk from covid.” -via The Economist, via Future Crunch

There’s no denying Gates was subject to conspiracies, including that he was putting microchips in Covid vaccines and might be a lizard person. But there was also righteous anger aimed at him for opposing an effort to waive intellectual property (IP) rights on the vaccines so more companies could manufacture them and sell them at much lower cost to increase access in the Global South. Gates pushed the COVAX initiative, claiming it would get vaccines to low-income countries despite the IP rules, that largely failed and actively spread misinformation in the media about the ability of other facilities around the world to manufacture Covid vaccines. He was accused of enabling vaccine apartheid. That was no conspiracy theory, but you won’t hear anything about that in the series. According to its narrative, all the anger he faced was based on misinformation.

Vaccine Market To Reach USD 110.54 Billion By 2030

Vaccine Market Growth & Trends

The global vaccine market size is expected to reach USD 110.54 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 5.74% from 2024 to 2030. The growth is attributed to the rising immunization programmes, and the development of vaccines for diseases, such as RSV and Chlamydia amongst others. There has been significant progress in improving access to vaccines for diseases of public health concern. Many new vaccines have been developed and distributed globally, resulting in the saving of countless lives and the prevention of various illnesses.

Furthermore, there are several initiatives in the vaccine market aimed at improving access to vaccines, developing new vaccines, and ensuring vaccine safety. These initiatives involve international organizations, governments, private sector entities, and philanthropic organizations. Through collaboration and innovation, these initiatives are helping to address global health challenges and improve public health outcomes. For instance, COVAX is a global initiative aimed at ensuring equitable access to COVID vaccines. The initiative is co-led by Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, the World Health Organization (WHO), and the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI).

Although there are over 90 vaccine manufacturers supplying vaccines to World Health Organization Member States in 2021, supply remains highly dependent on fewer than 10 manufacturers with diverse deployable technology and global reach. This concentration leads to regional supply insecurity and market health issues, particularly in the African and Eastern Mediterranean regions. It is anticipated that the COVID vaccine market could go private in the second half of 2023 in the U.S. This privatization may lead to an increase in prices of COVID vaccines and open up the market for other players as well. For instance, both Moderna and Pfizer BioNTech have announced that the prices of their respective mRNA COVID vaccines could increase to around USD 110 to USD 130 per shot.

A Comissão Parlamentar de Inquérito (CPI) da Pandemia do Senado ouve, nesta terça-feira (18), o ex-ministro das Relações Exteriores Ernesto Araújo, sétimo a falar ao colegiado. Desde as 9h30 da manhã, Araújo tem respondido a perguntas sobre a condução da diplomacia brasileira durante a pandemia, com foco na relação do Brasil com a China e nas negociações para compras de vacina. O ex-ministro negou que tenha causado qualquer atrito com a China “antes ou durante a pandemia” e que isso tenha dificultado a aquisição de vacinas para o Brasil. “Não entendo nenhuma declaração que eu tenha feito em nenhum momento como antichinesa. Houve determinados momentos em que, como se sabe, por notas oficiais, o Itamaraty, eu tomei a decisão, nós nos queixamos de comportamentos da Embaixada da China ou do embaixador da China em Brasília, mas não houve nenhuma declaração que se possa qualificar como antichinesa. Não há nenhum impacto de algo que não existiu”, declarou. Segundo Ernesto Araújo, o Itamaraty acompanhou os trâmites burocráticos dos insumos para as vacinas, mas não foi identificada nenhuma correlação entre atraso dos insumos e declarações do governo brasileiro. Saída do governo Ao falar de sua saída do posto de chanceler brasileiro, ocorrida em março deste ano, o diplomata disse que o fato não teve qualquer relação com a questão das vacinas. “Certamente não foi a questão de vacinas, como foi falado. O presidente manifestou que havia surgido, a partir de determinados fatos, dificuldades que poderiam dificultar o relacionamento, especificamente com o Senado e diante disso me pediu que colocasse a disposição o cargo, o que eu fiz”, afirmou. Araújo afirmou que ainda em 2020 o Ministério das Relações Exteriores (MRE) já havia instruído postos diplomáticos brasileiros a prospectar estudos no exterior, sempre em parceria com a pasta da Saúde, com a qual tinha bom relacionamento, seja a gestão de Luiz Henrique Mandetta, sejam as de Nelson Teich e Eduardo Pazuello. Estados Unidos Perguntado se declarações do governo brasileiro mal recebidas pela China tinham a ver com um alinhamento à política internacional norte-americana de Donald Trump, Ernesto Araújo disse que não. Ainda sobre o governo Trump, disse que o que houve foi uma "aproximação", mas que a relação não trouxe benefícios à imunização de brasileiros visto que os Estados Unidos proibiram a exportação de vacinas. De acordo com Araújo, com Joe Biden na Presidência dos Estados Unidos, houve mudança de ênfase por parte do governo americano, mas havia contato estreito e frutífero com o novo governo, para rearmar a relação a partir das novas prioridades do governo americano. Cloroquina O relator Renan Calheiros (MDB-AL) pediu explicações ao diplomata sobre a aquisição de hidroxicloroquina pelo governo brasileiro. O ex-ministro disse que em março de 2020 havia uma expectativa de que houvesse eficácia com o uso da cloroquina, não só no Brasil, mas no mundo. “Os estoques de cloroquina baixaram e ajudamos a viabilizar. É um remédio necessário, usado para outras doenças crônicas, e o estoque havia baixado”, explicou. Covax Facility Sobre a decisão do Brasil de obter o equivalente a 10% da população brasileira de doses de vacinas pelo consórcio internacional Covax Facility – iniciativa da Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) para o fornecimento de imunizantes para o mundo –, o diplomata relatou que houve uma reunião na Casa Civil para analisar a entrada do Brasil no grupo. Segundo Araújo, partiu do Ministério da Saúde a decisão sobre a porcentagem de doses, que poderia ter sido de até 50%. “Jamais fui contra [o consórcio internacional], o Itamaraty esteve atento desde abril de 2020, assim que o Covax tomou forma, em julho, assinei carta para o gestor do consórcio dizendo que o Brasil tinha interesse em entrar. O contrato ficou pronto em setembro e assinamos naquele momento”, disse Araújo. O contrato resultou na aquisição de 2,9 milhões de doses de vacinas para os brasileiros.
