China is vaccinating a staggering 20 million people a day
Scientists are impressed by China’s juggernaut of a
vaccination drive, through which it is currently administering nearly
60% of all COVID-19 vaccine doses globally.
For more than a week, an average of about 20 million people have been
vaccinated against COVID-19 every day in China. At this rate, the
nation would have fully vaccinated the entire UK population in little
more than six days. China now accounts for more than half of the 35
million or so people around the world receiving a COVID-19 shot each
day.
Zoltán Kis, a chemical engineer in the Future Vaccine
Manufacturing Research Hub at Imperial College London, doesn’t know of
“anything even close to those production scales” for a vaccine. “The
manufacturing efforts required in China to reach this high production
throughput are tremendous,” he says.
The majority of doses are of
one of two vaccines, both of which have been approved for emergency use
worldwide by the World Health Organization (WHO). CoronaVac
— produced by Beijing-based company Sinovac — showed an efficacy of 51%
against symptoms of COVID-19 in clinical trials, and much higher
protection against severe disease and death. The second jab
was developed in Beijing by state-owned firm Sinopharm and has
demonstrated an efficacy of 79% against symptomatic disease and
hospitalization.

‘red heifer’ born in Israel for 2,000 years triggers armageddon fears
after Christian and Jewish holy books say it will ‘bring the end of the
world’
The Temple Institute in Jerusalem said the calf underwent "extensive examination by experts"
The red heifer (Hebrew: פָּרָה אֲדֻמָּה; para adumma), a female bovine which has never been pregnant or milked or yoked, also known as the red cow, was a cow brought to the priests as a sacrifice according to the Torah, and its ashes were used for the ritual purification of Tum'at HaMet ("the impurity of the dead"), that is, an Israelite who had come into contact with a corpse.[1]
2012/03/30 — And
yet there was one area that both Jenner's supporters and critics agreed
on: the linguistic shift from “vaccinae” as an adjective referring to a
cow, to “vaccinate” as a verb, meaning the inoculation with the
disease entity known ...
The
word "vaccination", coined by Jenner in 1796, is derived from the Latin
adjective vaccinus, meaning "of or from the cow". ... Once vaccinated, a
patient develops antibodies that make them immune to cowpox, but they
also develop immunity to ...
2015/11/02 — This
world-changing tool of the vaccine got its name from a cow virus. ...
The word vaccine, and vaccination, actually comes from the name for a
pox virus—the cowpox virus, vaccinia, to be exact. But why did this
wonderful tool ...
In 1796, English physician Edward Jenner infected a young boy
with cowpox. Later, when he injected the child with the deadly smallpox
virus, he did not get sick. And thus, the first vaccine was born, saving
millions of lives and immortalizing cows in public health. (The word
vaccine is derived from the Latin word vacca for “cow.”) Or so the legend goes. But the story is probably wrong, according to a report published today in The New England Journal of Medicine.
That’s because the vaccine used to prevent smallpox was likely
horsepox, not cowpox, researchers say. The latest bit of evidence comes
from the historic containers above, which held a smallpox vaccine
manufactured by the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, company H. K. Mulford in
1902. Although the vaccine was manufactured more than a century after
Jenner’s breakthrough, it’s the oldest vaccine strain analyzed so far.
When scientists sequenced its DNA, they found it most closely resembled
the genome of horsepox. Jenner himself wrote that he used material from
both cows and horses in his experiments, and the new finding suggests
that it may be horses, not cows, we have to thank for the world’s first
vaccine. Or perhaps we should say equusine?
World's first 'mix and match' Covid vaccine study finds combination
of AstraZeneca and Pfizer jabs gives enhanced protection – but
scientists say UK should stick to current schedule to keep rollout
simple
Study trialled mixing AstraZeneca and Pfizer Covid jabs with four week wait
Researchers found AstraZeneca jab followed by Pfizer increased protection
But lead scientist warned jabs should only be mixed if there are supply problems
The Belgian facility has seen a wave of infected residents despite a
full vaccination conducted with double doses in January of this year.
According to director Anne-Catherine Roobaert, whom we contacted, “the
critical phase is behind us. Half of the vaccinated residents have been infected and 12 deaths
To date, the balance sheet is as follows: nearly half of the 117
residents fully vaccinated in January (Pfizer vaccine) were infected
between May and June,” explains the director. Fifty-five residents were
affected, including 52 of the 117 vaccinated (44%). Unfortunately, we
have 12 people who were vaccinated and who have died, and 2 diabetics in
an unstable situation who are currently hospitalized. The results are
therefore very serious and raise questions. It is well known that
vaccination is never 100% protective, but in the case of this
establishment, we are far from what is announced. The experience of
Nivelles is the proof. It is the Indian variant that has been identified
in the majority of these elderly people.
'It's a love match': Friends reveal Matt Hancock and his
aide Gina Coladangelo are serious about each other after just 'SIX
WEEKS' as shamed Health Secretary walks out on BOTH his marriage and job
Matt Hancock said Government 'owe it to people who have sacrificed so much in this pandemic to be honest'
Images and video showed the Health Secretary in an embrace with his aide Gina Coladangelo last month
Friends said tonight that the pair had been seeing each other for around six weeks, but were a 'love match'
Now, it has come to light that Mr Hancock told his wife, Martha, he would be leaving her on Thursday night
Boris Johnson said he was 'sorry' to receive Mr Hancock's resignation and he should 'leave office very proud'
Coladangelo was a director and major stakeholder for the PR and lobbying firm Luther Pendragon, and now the marketing and communications director for Oliver Bonas.[2][3] She is also a non-executive director at the Department of Health and Social Care, an aide and mistress to the then Secretary for Health and Social Care, Matt Hancock.[2] In June 2021, following his resignation from the government, it was reported that Hancock had left his wife, Martha, for Coladangelo.[4][5][6] Coladangelo is currently married to Oliver Tress.
Coladangelo and Tress have three children.[7] In 2015, they moved from Clapham Junction to a five-bedroom house in Wandsworth, London with a live-in nanny.[7][1]
Out of 33,000 cases analysed by PHE
and confirmed to be the Delta variant since February, 223 have been
admitted to hospital - most were unvaccinated or had only had only dose,
and 20 people were fully vaccinated.
And
of 42 deaths in people with Delta variant infections, 23 were
unvaccinated and seven had received only one dose. The other 12 had
received two doses more than two weeks before.
Interim Estimates of Vaccine Effectiveness of BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273
COVID-19 Vaccines in Preventing SARS-CoV-2 Infection Among Health Care
Personnel, First Responders, and Other Essential and Frontline Workers —
Eight U.S. Locations, December 2020–March 2021
Weekly / April 2, 2021 / 70(13);495–500
Summary
What is already known about this topic?
Messenger RNA (mRNA) COVID-19 vaccines have been shown to be
effective in preventing symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection in randomized
placebo-controlled Phase III trials.
What is added by this report?
Prospective cohorts of 3,950 health care personnel, first responders,
and other essential and frontline workers completed weekly SARS-CoV-2
testing for 13 consecutive weeks. Under real-world conditions, mRNA
vaccine effectiveness of full immunization (≥14 days after second dose)
was 90% against SARS-CoV-2 infections regardless of symptom status;
vaccine effectiveness of partial immunization (≥14 days after first dose
but before second dose) was 80%.
What are the implications for public health practice?
Authorized mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are effective for preventing
SARS-CoV-2 infection in real-world conditions. COVID-19 vaccination is
recommended for all eligible persons.
Among unvaccinated participants, 1.38 SARS-CoV-2 infections were
confirmed by reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)
per 1,000 person-days.§ In contrast, among fully immunized
(≥14 days after second dose) persons, 0.04 infections per 1,000
person-days were reported, and among partially immunized (≥14 days after
first dose and before second dose) persons, 0.19 infections per 1,000
person-days were reported. Estimated mRNA vaccine effectiveness for
prevention of infection, adjusted for study site, was 90% for full
immunization and 80% for partial immunization. These findings indicate
that authorized mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are effective for preventing
SARS-CoV-2 infection, regardless of symptom status, among working-age
adults in real-world conditions. COVID-19 vaccination is recommended for
all eligible persons.https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7013e3.htm
