We had a public health expert give a seminar at work today ( i work in big pharma). He estimated that conventional flu vaccines are about 40% effective every year. He thinks the covid ones will be about twice as effective given the right dose.

But the startling fact to me was when he said that they are preparing for over 35% of the population not wanting to take any vaccines, and that they are already funding programs to educate and inform these idiot anti-vaxxers. He said the idea of herd immunity is impossible given the low efficacy prediction and the number of morons who won't take it.

Coronavirus: Pangolins may have spread the disease to humans

There are many questions about the novel Coronavirus that remain unanswered, such as “how does the virus spread?” and “where did it originate?” Now, Chinese-based researchers say they think the pangolin — a scaly, otherwise harmless mammal that eats ants — may have spread the virus to humans.

Researchers point to the pangolin as a potential carrier of the novel coronavirus.
When coronaviruses spread to humans, it is usually via contact with an animal that carries the virus.

Medical News Today has recently published an extensive feature on the new virus, explaining that some of the most common carriers for coronaviruses are bats.

However, bats are unlikely to transmit the virus directly to humans, so, as with most similar viruses — such as SARS and MERS — an intermediary animal is usually the one responsible. For SARS, this was the civet cat, while dromedaries helped spread MERS.

When contacted by MNT a few days ago, The World Health Organization (WHO) said they did not yet know the specific source of the novel coronavirus.

“Researchers in China are studying this but have not yet identified a source,” they said at the time.

Only a few days later, researchers Shen Yongyi and Xiao Lihua of South China Agricultural University in Guangzhou announced in a press conference that they might have identified the pangolin as the source of the virus.

The announcement, “Pangolin is found as a potential intermediate host of new coronavirus in South China,” can be found on the university’s website.

“This latest discovery will be of great significance for the prevention and control of the origin of the new coronavirus,” the Chinese university website states.

Liu Yahong, president of the South China Agricultural University, announced at the conference that they would publish the findings soon to help control the virus.

Pangolins — a relative of the armadillo and anteaters — are scaly mammals that feed on burrowing insects, such as termites and ants.

Pangolins are also an endangered species, and previous research has shown that the coronavirus is likely responsible for killing a large number of Malayan Pangolins.

In China, the country’s law protects the animals, and selling Pangolins can lead to 10 years in prison. However, the animal is a victim of illegal trafficking — in fact, researchers describe it as “the most poached and trafficked mammal in the world.”

The Chinese use the animal’s scales to treat conditions such as arthritis, menstrual pain, and skin conditions. People also sell the animal’s meat and consider it a delicacy.

In their efforts to track down the source of the new coronavirus, researchers have suggested that the infection originated at a seafood and wild animal market in Wuhan, China.

Although officially, this market did not sell pangolins, people may have sold the animals there illegally.

increased dose plans where people get multiple shots, initial clinical study results (that, granted have not been reproduced), and the unprecedented collaborative effort by every pharma company and large research institution in the world all working on the same issue at once.

it was a bit of conjecture, i admit, though.

Damn, that's some tasty meat. I like pangolin tartare, ground and then spread on toast.
 
2nd wave hitting Europe now...3k infections per day after restrictions relaxed....cool weather is bring it back and it's mutated now ...stay home...stay safe
 
Was on a zoom call with a friend who is a cardiologist on Saturday. He stated none of his colleagues, including infectious disease, will take the vaccine immediately themselves (although they may recommend it to patients). They don't really know what the effects of it will be and the mechanism that this vaccine will be is pretty different from other ones in the past or something to those lines. Later down the road, there will probably be lawsuits coming from the side effects of this vaccine. Its an mRNA vaccine, which affect your cells replicating I believe.

I told him, the only people I'd trust making the vaccine was the Chinese, since they made this shit.

That syringe won’t be coming anywhere near me or my family. Not a chance.

After you go get you’re ‘rona vaccine, go ahead and congratulate yourself with a pat on the back.

That really needed deciphering?

Why would I do that though? Is it bad that I would want my family to get one? We get FLU shots every October, have for years. Oh......you must be one of those people that thinks medicine is from the devil? Or that the government is planting microchips in you? But this is YOUR government and leader in charge......this is all SO confusing! You know that ADVIL can be used as a tracking device, dead serious.
