"Have whole virus vaccines been used before?
Yes, this technology is well-established and has been used in seasonal influenza, hepatitis A, polio and rabies vaccines.
The COVID-19 vaccines developed by Chinese companies Sinovac and Sinopharm, and India’s Bharat Biotech, which have all been approved for emergency use in their countries, are also inactivated vaccines."

COVID-19: Everything you need to know about the Valneva vaccine
The UK could receive up to 60 million doses of the vaccine candidate by the end of the year, if approved.
"At least six people have died and several fallen seriously ill after receiving a vaccination by China's Sinovac. The government said no direct link was established between the the vaccine and the first two deaths, while the other deaths were still being analysed."

Hong Kong widens vaccine scheme to people over 30, domestic helpers
Hong Kong authorities said on Monday that the city's vaccine scheme would be widened to include those aged between 30-60 years old and domestic helpers, as they aim to increase take up amongst residents in the Asian financial hub.

I don’t feel comfortable recommending any of these vaccines under the current circumstances, but if you feel you must be vaccinated for medical reasons, I would be inclined to Valneva product because it’s old school.
I’m fervently against even offering medical treatments for those not at obviously elevated risk from this virus.
This because everything about how the executive is doing this spells RECKLESS.
Valneva is preferred over the genetic coding interventions because it avoids several steps each without their own variability & is wholly classically done.

Here’s a really nicely written paper with one of the best laid-out pictorial descriptions of the elements of our immune responses either to infection or vaccination (the same basic steps are involved)

Influence of immune aging on vaccine responses
Impaired vaccine responses in older individuals are associated with alterations in both the quantity and quality of the T-cell compartment with age. As reviewed herein, the T-cell response to vaccination requires a fine balance between the generation ...

This is the #MonottiProtocol. The main difference from a vaccine based strategy is that it relies on cell mediated immunity boosted by vitamin D rather than humoral immunity or antibodies which is what these vaccines are based on
I am sharing vaccine info but I stand by my Monotti Protocol, based on regular vitamin D and easily available off the shelf early treatment. To gage how much vitamin D you need, if you like apps you can try a phone app called "dminder". Try it out.
"Opposition politicians said last week that he had contracted Covid-19, but this has not been confirmed.
Magufuli was one of Africa's most prominent coronavirus sceptics, and called for prayers and herbal-infused steam therapy to counter the virus.
Magufuli declared Tanzania "Covid-19 free" last June. He mocked the efficacy of masks, expressed doubts about testing, and teased neighbouring countries which imposed health measures to curb the virus.
Tanzania has not published details of its coronavirus cases since May, and the government has refused to purchase vaccines.
Magufuli's death has been attributed to a long-standing heart condition, but many will still suspect that he succumbed to Covid-19.
⚠️It is an irony that the pandemic he so strenuously denied has outlasted him, turning his once heralded presidency into a cautionary tale for the region and the continent.⚠️ But it is his approach to Covid-19 that many analysts say will define his legacy. There has been little testing in the country and no plans made for a vaccination programme, leaving the country as an outlier."

Hello everyone! Alive & kicking. I don’t have my own channel but o am still doing what I can to keep science honest.
Here’s my take on vaccination. I don’t think there’s a more important time to think, be still, anticipate where your near term decisions will lead us.
Here’s my take on vaccination:
1. Healthy people under 60 are at a very low risk from the virus. If you didn’t seek a flu vaccine then you definitely don’t need this vaccine because flu risk is greater than covid risk for the under-70s.
2. I do not believe for one minute that vaccination will result in our freedoms being returned. The whole coercive act around forcing people who won’t benefit to get vaccinated is to get digital ID on everyone. The way to oppose evil is to exert your rights & say “No, thanks”. Not to go along with it. That way lies permanent purgatory because what’s next? A top up against variants? You’ll be made to take every vaccine the authorities dictate.
3. Some tourist dependent countries want tourists so badly they will admit them without vaccination. Help them by going there. This pressure succeeds or it fails. It won’t take years. We have to win or it’ll be forced into our children.
4. Consider younger people. They’re not at a measurable risk. Taking a vaccine helps them not at all, but it adds risk for adverse effects in the mid to long term. No one can tell us what that risk is because the technology is new & the data simply doesn’t exist. Because they’re different from anything we’ve done before, it’s irresponsible to be rolling out vaccines except to those at clearly elevated risk if infected.
5. Why are medical professionals silent? Why are all institutions supine? I don’t know, but it’s frightening.

Please do not give up your freedom to decide whether or not to consent to an experimental medical intervention in exchange for SOME of your freedoms back.
It’s unethical to pressure you to accept vaccination for NON MEDICAL reasons.
Accept restrictions that they threaten you with. If enough of us cross our arms, look then in the eye & say “No, thanks”, they lose.
Vaccine passports are a blind tunnel from which nether we nor our children will ever emerge. It’s a one way trap.
They need to impose them en masse or it won’t work. Don’t do their work for them. Don’t be bribed , frightened or lied into accepting what your gut advises you not to.
The Council of Europe, of which we remain a member, is explicit: member states are reminded that it is illegal to mandate or coerce populations into accepting medical interventions & they must not discriminate against those choosing to decline.

In U.K. our all causes mortality has sunk back to normal. Now, I don’t believe for a moment that lockdowns have been the cause. It’s massed population immunity. I know I called it prematurely last autumn but I’m not ready to completely concede that we were not near herd immunity. And I think we’re there now. My estimate of % of population who’ve been infected is now mainstream with CDC in the US stating around 25%. Evidence continues to emerge that 20-50% of us had some prior immunity. The youngest are effectively resistant to infection & transmission. Simple arithmetic doesn’t leave enough susceptible people to again have an epidemic at scale in already heavily hit regions.
We also know masks are just lies.
So the event is over.
We’ve been deliberately whipped into a MASS PANIC & relentlessly administered fear for a year.
Well, I’m not frightened & I’m not going away.

But here’s the kicker: older people, unfortunately the very age group we know have very much greater risk of severe outcomes including death if infected by SARS-CoV-2, do not respond anything like as well to vaccination (this is the Pfizer one) as those in whom vaccination isn’t really needed.
The process of diminishing immune responses with age, especially in those >80y, has long been recognised. It is thought to be one of if not the most important reason why we see such profound age-related risks. Immunosenescence is a fact of life. Everything-senescence is associated with ageing & while we should do what we can to extend heathy lifespan, I personally don’t want to live longer than my health. Aging can be cruel. But it is also an entirely natural process & it seems as a society, we refuse to recognise what our ancestors accepted as an inevitable part of ‘the circle of life’.
The bottom line is that there are limits, really severe ones too, in terms of what vaccination can do to protect the very old from the consequences of viral infection.
Ask yourself this: if the most vulnerable are often far less likely to gain effective protection from vaccination, and those who do benefit are usually able to resist infection without vaccination, what the hell are we doing, vaccinating the world?
It’s almost - not quite - pointless. I’m sure there’s a sizeable cohort between 60 & 80 who are greatly helped by vaccination. But the median age of death with covid19 is over 80. And very few people younger than 60 & without prior serious illnesses, succumb to this virus.
