Covid-19 Vaccination Efficacy and Mortality: A Monitor

vaccination

 

Because of the unverified safety of all Covid-19 vaccines available today, there is a need to balance the great optimism in most reports with the stark facts of reported adverse effects and current levels of acceptance among citizens in different countries. By definition, vaccination protects the person from targeted viruses by initiating immune response using non-virulent materials from the target virus. Consequently, if infection occurs, the person should have already developed antibodies and immune elements that destroy the invading viruses. 

That is the expectation on any vaccine. A vaccine that does not protect against the target virus is not an effective vaccine. A vaccine that does not reliably protect is not a reliable vaccine.

ENGLAND

Christian Yates (University of Bath) reported in Scitech Daily that within 28 days (1 February to 21 June) 257 Englishmen died from Covid-19 infection. Of these, 163 English men had been vaccinated at least once, or a rate of 63.4%). Thus, the death rate of the unvaccinated Englishmen was only 36.6%. [News report]

Marianne Guenot of Business Insider reported a total death of 117 Englishmen from the Delta variant during a similar period, based Public Health England data. Of these, 109 Englishmen aged older than 50 years, or 93.2%. Of these, 70 Englishmen had been vaccinated (50 Englishmen received 2 doses; 20 received 1 dose), or a rate of 59.8%. Delta variant death rate among unvaccinated Englishmen is lower at 44 persons, or a rate of 37.6%. [News report]

PHILIPPINES

As of August 2021, the Philippines has inoculated around 20 million of Filipinos. Of these, 735 Filipinos who received Covid-19 vaccination got infected with SARS-CoV-2. Of these, in turn, 546 got infected by the coronavirus after receiving their first dose, or a vulnerability rate of 74.3%. In effect, 189 Filipinos got infected after the second vaccination dose, or 25.7%.

Sheila Crisostomo of Philippine Star Global also reported that 61 Filipinos died among those who got infected post-vaccination. All these deaths received AstraZeneca (UK), Sinovac (China), and Sputnik V (Russia) vaccines. [News report]

SINGAPORE

As of July 2021, Singapore has vaccinated 75% of its 5.7 million citizens, making it the second highest vaccination rate by country in the world, second only to the United Arab Emirates. Of those vaccinated, around 75% became infected with SARS-CoV-2 virus in the last four weeks. This demonstrates that, within a period of 20 days, vaccination cannot protect people from getting infected by the virus. [News report]

POST-PRESS: Narcissistic Disorder, Ground for Annulment

On 20 May 2011 (Friday), the First Division of the Philippine Court of Appeals dismissed the plea that Julie Balarbar, wife of 15 years of House Deputy Speaker Lorenzo Tañada III, filed questioning the November 25, 2010 decision of the Makati Regional Court declaring the marriage null and void on the ground that Balarbar had been diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD). Pyschiatric evaluation show a diagnosis of NPD with anti-social features, from her involvement in a shoplifting incident, her closeness to and trips abroad with her male students, and a kissing incident with a co-professor. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder Fourth Edition (DSM IV-TR) enumerated nine indicators of NPD, with only five of them needed for the diagnosis. It is not clear however which indicators have been found in the case of the Tañada annulment case. The Archdiocese of Manila also declared their canonical marriage void ab initio (void from the start) due to "gra

Sex Industry Weathers Financial Crises

Varmus Christopher Forbes.com 12/29/08 14:00:05 GMT The sex industry traces back to 500 B.C., when traders from the Greek port of Miletus sold olisbos, an early version of the dildo. Today, the business of sex (including pornography) now runs into the tens of billions of dollars. (No official estimates are available; Wall Street analysts don't tend to track this stuff.) And while print and video sales are ebbing, as more free adult content has become available online, sales of un-reproducible sexual aids are still healthy. "Of course, there's concern about the economy, but right now our sales are growing," says Michael Trygstad, founder of Wet, a lubricant manufacturer in Van Nuys, Calif. "We've grown 30% this year alone. We've had to completely automate our factories to meet the tremendous demand. People are deciding to stay at home and engage in inexpensive entertainment.'' Slick marketing--and the ability to shop anonymously online--helps, too

POST-PRESS: Filipinos Get Vitamin C from Vegetables

The DOST Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI) recently issed a survey showing that 34 to 53 percent of Vitamin C consumed among Filipinos came from vegetables. Fruits merely contribute around 19 to 29 percent as a source. More than 50 percent of Vitamin C intake among adults, the elderly, and lactating women came from vegetables. Adolescent and pregnant women comprised 42.2 and 41.7 percent, respectively. Children have the lowest use of vegetables as Vitamin C source, contributing only 34.6 percent to diets among 6-12 agers and 17,2 percent among those ageing 6 months to 5-year olds. Vitamin C-rich vegetables include leafy greens like malunggay, ampalaya, petsay, saluyot, peppers (red and green), sitsaro and raw cabbage. Despite this figures, only 3 in every 10 households met the estimated average requirement (EAR) for Vitamin C, which is 80 percent of the recommended intake of the vitamin. And worse vegetable consumpion is on the downtrend over the years. It has decreased
