The latest LinkedIn post from eminent virologist and vaccinologist Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche, who is warning we will soon see a new Covid variant that will be deadly for many people. If you haven't seen or heard one of his interviews you don't know how credible sounding he is. As I commented below his post, the average person cannot judge complex scientific arguments so I think we basically have to rely on the wisdom of our eyes, ears and "heart" to judge which "experts" are the most trustworthy, both in terms of how much knowledge they have and how honest they are, uninfluenced in what they are saying by financial and/or reputational conflicts of interest. That is why I think what we need more than anything right now is live public discussion between disagreeing experts, especially those who are influencing many people to take one position or another on the critical questions of our time. I think we need to demand that the health authorities of our governments - which are supposed to be democratic and run by us - engage in such discussion with Dr. Vanden Bossche and other leading “dissident” scientists, and that we only trust experts who are willing to engage in such with other highly-credentialed people who fundamentally disagree with them. I think we need a website (or video channel) which is solely focused on such discussions, reporting who accepts invitations to engage and who does not. If anyone wants to contribute to the creation of such a site let me know and I'll put everyone in touch with each other.
Poor science…This is yet another example of naïve scinetists not understanding that their ‘exciting’ data merely result from immune refocusing. How long will it take for them to grasp that the functionality and longevity of these broadly NAbs is suboptimal and, therefore, promoting large-scale immune escape of SC-2? https://lnkd.in/eBgG5BnB

The future of equitable therapeutics lies in pharmacogenomics and immunomics. Diversity in the populations affected by disease must be reflected in the research. Hoping this is the beginning of better methods and better medicines for all! #JusticeInResearch
Current research has failed to capture immune variation and diversity, leading to a biased understanding of the immune system. At HIP, we're addressing this bias head-on and generating data from every human population to improve health for all. Learn how in Science Magazine.

“Do not share content that directly contradicts the recommendations of the main global health organizations or public health authorities, including false information about the safety or effectiveness of vaccines…” Given this statement from this platform, the question that arises is: Why? that? Why can't we question? Astrophysicist Carl Sagan openly said that "questioning is the only way to do science." Obviously this platform does not have the same opinion. Probably LinkedIn, in 1616, would have "virulently" censored Galileo and today we would still be "the center of the planetary system." The reality is that this platform belongs to the same interests that in 2020 unleashed the largest non-consensual experiment on humans, inoculating substances that today are only beginning to show the devastating effects on their victims: illnesses and deaths. In this context, some academics with integrity carry out a quixotic fight against these interests: people like Dr. GEERT VANDEN BOSSCHE, a German virologist with an exceptional career in the public and private spheres, who publishes columns like this one on his blog where warns of the impact that SARS2 variants will have in the near future on those inoculated people. But what's the point of insisting on this that probably few want to know or assume? Is it sadism on the part of these academics and some simple popularizers like me? Certainly not. The point is that 2020 was part of a process that originated the financial system and that will be repeated in the near future, to migrate to a criminally centralized and coercive economic control system; and this is the central point why we insist that citizens become aware of the events of 2020, to be able to face the crises that these sectors plan to unleash shortly. The question is simple: What type of professional, cultural and scientific activity can we develop in this dystopian and authoritarian future that we will soon be forced to enter? I think spreading this can make a difference. https://lnkd.in/dhWT99yJ

"There are so many errors in this short paper that it’s hard to know where to start. The first mistake is fairly simple — this isn’t new work in any meaningful sense. It’s also not taken from Our World In Data, which is itself a data aggregator and visualization website which doesn’t produce new information. The actual data in the paper was taken with some attribution from a previously published piece of work called the World Mortality Dataset from researchers Ariel Karlinsky and Dmitry Kobak. The new paper in the BMJ simply lifted the methods and part of this dataset, added their own opinions on top, and published it as “original research”. At best, this new paper is a minimal and poorly-researched commentary on Karlinsky and Kobak’s work. Then there’s the idea of “Western” countries. This is a bizarre distinction to see this side of the Cold War. I haven’t seen the term used in a paper published this century. The authors say they define “Western” as: “various countries in Europe and to countries in Australasia (Australia, New Zealand) and North America (the USA, Canada) that are based on European cultural heritage. The latter countries were once British colonies that acquired Christianity and the Latin alphabet and whose populations comprised numerous descendants from European colonists or migrants” This is then cited to worldpopulationreview dot com, which seems to be an anonymous data aggregator website that mostly exists to sell ads and affiliate links. About as far from a scientific source as you can imagine, and certainly not what you’d expect to see in a paper from a leading public health journal. You have to wonder at the scientists who saw this website and said “Ah yes, an excellent reference on which to build our entire study” The story gets much worse. The authors of this paper argued that COVID-19 probably didn’t cause excess mortality, and then implied that vaccines and mitigation measures were likely responsible. However, had they actually bothered to read the World Mortality Dataset and associated analyses, they would’ve been confronted with direct evidence that this was wrong. Indeed, as you can see from the data, there is a remarkably strong (almost perfect) correlation between excess deaths and COVID-19 deaths across most of the world:"

Once the virus achieves maximum infectiousness, while still under pressure of viral infection and transmission, the virus will shift to enhanced virulence. Never mass vaccinate in the middle of a pandemic unless you want to apply evolutionary pressure, and the desire is a spectacular mutation as the virus ensures its propagation. While you have a cytolytic virus that can infect and destroy cells, and you no longer have sufficient immunity in place because innate immunity didn't get trained and adaptive immunity got derailed. Every single virus that can infect and destroy cells in the absence of immunity are as per definition highly virulent. So expect a huge wave of severe disease, when the virus shifts into highly virulent mutation, antivirulence drugs are the next move as more vaccinations now is just doubling down on the original stupidity. #science #scienceandtechnology #scientists #viral #evolutionarybiology #immunity #infectious #virulent

A very interesting article by Matthew Herper. Recent data released ahead of the American Society of Clinical Oncology's annual meeting reveals that the HPV vaccine significantly reduces the risk of HPV-related cancers by 56% in men and 36% in women. Despite its proven effectiveness, HPV vaccination rates remain low. The study, led by Jefferson DeKloe of Thomas Jefferson University, analyzed a vast database of 90 million patients and compared outcomes between vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals. The findings underscore the vaccine's potential to prevent tens of thousands of cancer cases annually, including cervical and throat cancers. However, vaccine skepticism and hesitancy continue to hinder wider adoption. From 2011 to 2020, HPV vaccination rates in the U.S. increased but still fall short, with only 36.4% of males and 49.4% of females vaccinated. #HPV #CancerPrevention #Vaccination #PublicHealth The HPV vaccine prevents cancer in men, too. Why do so few people get it? (statnews.com)
