This pathetic “mole” did exactly what I thought it’d do and used the same technique Jake Crosby used 13 years ago,
Specifically, he tried to ascribe undisclosed conflicts of interest to me based on funding my university got from certain corporations, even though the foolish mole can’t show a direct link (mainly because there isn’t one).
Then he just repeated the common conspiracy narrative that if you ever received NIH funding you’re hopelessly compromised because NIH promoted #CovidVaccination. I wrote extensively about this disinformation technique last year. respectfulinsolence.com/2022/05/03/nih…

🇺🇸 30,311 babies followed from birth to 6 months, of whom 10,893 were born following #CovidVaccination in #pregnancy.

👉🏻 Protection against COVID infection in the delta period was 56%

👉🏻 In the omicron period, 13%

This study quite nicely shows how protection declines over time as maternal antibodies wane. For delta, protection against infection is:

84% in the first two months

62% in the first four months

56% in the first six months

1) "Australian Bureau of Statistics" has released their recent numbers for Provisional mortality till June 2022.

Key statistics:
In 2022, there were 92,699 deaths that occurred by 30 June and were registered by 31 August, which is 13,524 (17.1%) more than the historical average.
2) In June there were 16,749 deaths, 2,410 (16.8%) above the historical average.

Deaths due to COVID-19 increased in July when compared with May and June.

WHAT IS GOING??!!

A study published (6th June, 2021) last year in JAMA Pediatrics mentioned that Vaccine-associated mRNA was not detected in 13 milk samples collected 4 to 48 hours after vaccination from 7 breastfeeding individuals.

Recent study published (26th Sept, 2022) in JAMA Pediatrics mentions that of 11 lactating individuals enrolled, trace amounts of BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273 COVID-19 mRNA vaccines were detected in 7 samples from 5 different participants at various times up to 45 hours postvaccination.
WHAT CHANGED?

I’d like to highlight that in the study from 2021 in the conflict-of-interest section, among others, we can see National Institutes of Health (NIH), Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, CDC Foundation mentioned.

This study looked at #breastmilk after #CovidVaccination in 11 people.

👉🏻 mRNA detectable in whole milk of 3 of them

👉🏻 Maximum concentration 0.1 parts per billion

👉🏻 This is roughly equivalent to a single tear in an Olympic pool

The findings are roughly in line with two previous studies which concentrated breast milk in order to detect very low quantities of vaccine mRNA (in fact, this one finds a little less). Low et al... 2/

If you are #pregnant in the UK, the @NHSuk strongly recommends that you get the #CovidVaccine if you are not already protected.

The advice has not changed!

So why are some people saying that it has? 🤔

Periodically, Pfizer sends the MHRA some more data. On 16 August, they sent some additional data on boosting with different brands of vaccine. The documents were updated accordingly. 3/

Study looking at the impact of vaccine misinformation found:

-66% of U.S. adults say they would be likely to recommend vaccinating a hypothetical 5-11 yr olds in their household who is eligible for the #Covid19 #vaccine.
-39% of the vaccinated-but-not-boosted hold high levels of misinformation about the effects and safety of #vaccines
-the more that unvaccinated adults worry about getting #long #Covid, the more likely they are to say they will get vaccinated
-40% of the #unvaccinated – or 9% of the total survey sample – are potentially persuadable to be #vaccinated

Study from #England looking at the impact of #SARSCoV2 on #brain #pathology in 785 UK Biobank participants (aged 51–81) imaged twice found:

-brain changes in the following regions:
--greater reduction in grey matter thickness and tissue-contrast in the orbitofrontal cortex & parahippocampal gyrus
--greater changes in markers of tissue damage in regions functionally-connected to the primary olfactory cortex
--greater reduction in global brain size.
- infected participants also showed on average larger #cognitive decline between the 2 timepoints
-these imaging and cognitive longitudinal effects were still seen after excluding the 15 cases who had been hospitalized.

Study from @Yale looking at the association between the #Pfizer #COVID19 #vaccine and #SARSCoV2 positivity among 542 adolescents when the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 was predominant and within 4 months of the vaccine rollout for adolescents showed:
-estimated effectiveness of the #pfizer vaccine was 91%, with 93% protection against symptomatic infections & 85% effectiveness against asymptomatic infection
Conclusion: These findings suggest that the #Pfizer #vaccine was effective in adolescents within 4 months of #immunization, including against infections caused by the #Delta #variant.

Study evaluating 29 patients with symptoms that persisted for at least 4 weeks after #COVID19 showed:

-had reported fatigue, muscle pain, dyspnea, inappropriate tachycardia, and low-grade fever
-previous #COVID19 was mild in 55% of the cases
-13 patients (45%) had positive plasma RT-PCR results and 51% were positive in at least one RT-PCR sample (plasma, urine, or stool)
-18 patients (62%) received antiviral treatment.
Conclusion: #COVID19 patients with persistent symptoms, 45% of them have detectable plasma #SARSCoV2 #RNA

A study applied Mendelian randomization including >3,000 blood proteins as exposures to identify potential biomarkers that may indicate risk for hospitalization or need for respiratory support or death due to #COVID19 found:
-Higher blood levels of 5 proteins associated with an increased risk of #hospitalization, need. of respiratory support or death due to #COVID19: GCNT4, CD207, RAB14, C1GALT1C1, & ABO.
-These findings implicate blood group markers & binding proteins in both #hospitalization, need for respiratory support & death.
-Higher levels of #endocannabinoid enzymes may increase the risk of #hospitalization.

1/3 Who decided that when considering #CovidVaccination for 5-12yr olds, the “impact on education” wasn’t a significant consideration?

Or that transmission to family (& teachers) shouldn’t be factored in to any decision?

Why was the remit of the #JCVI so limited?
@CMO_England Image
2- If 🇬🇧school kids had been offered vaccination like their international peers, the health, wellbeing & education of 1000s would’ve been better protected & countless lives could’ve been saved!
British exceptionalism has caused so much avoidable harm & suffering!

@RCPCHPresident
3- At what point will @10DowningStreet @educationgovuk & members of the #JCVI reflect on whether they’ve abused their power & failed an entire generation?

An unconscionable national safeguarding failure!

2,126 couples #TryingToConceive between Dec 2020 and Sep 2021…

👩‍❤️‍👨💉 #CovidVaccination made no difference to per cycle chance of #pregnancy

👩🏻🦠 Infection of female partners made no difference…

👦🏽🦠… but in males ⬇️ chance of pregnancy for ~60d.

academic.oup.com/aje/advance-ar…
The finding that #CovidVaccination does not affect #fertility mirrors what we have already seen in IVF settings, but it is good (if unsurprising!) to see it confirmed among those #TryingToConceive the old fashioned way! 2/

drive.google.com/file/d/1_wHIYX…
This is the first study to look at the effects of #Covid infection on #fertility.

It’s reassuring to see that it doesn’t affect chance of conception in female partners. 3/

New findings on #CovidVaccination and #Fertility!

Using the @BUPRESTOStudy, we show no association between #CovidVaccination in either partner and fertility among couples #TryingToConceive

A 🧵 on our new study in @AmJEpi #EpiTwitter (1/12)
doi.org/10.1093/aje/kw…
We enrolled couples who were #TryingToConceive without fertility treatment. Female and male partners completed questionnaires on lifestyle, health, and #covid19 infection and vaccination. We followed couples for up to 12 months to determine whether and when they conceived (2/12)
Then, we measured whether #TimeToPregnancy differed by vaccination status or infection history. We accounted for many factors (like occupation, income, etc.) that may be related to fertility and vaccination or infection (3/12)

Every day that passes denying vaccination to 🇬🇧5-12yr olds will result in harm to a child somewhere @RCPCHPresident @Rachel_deSouza .

The #JCVI’s REFUSAL TO OFFER these children an @MHRAgovuk approved vaccine is IMO a national safeguarding concern.

#DeliberateMassInfection

We have plenty of vaccines, in fact they are being wasted!

I would personally jump at the chance to give 5-12yr olds their first #CovidVaccination , I know many other HCPs who feel the same.

Parents like @Mangalang1 are desperate, some are seeking vaccination abroad.

@chris_salt is campaigning for 5-12yr olds to be vaccinated & offering advice to parents able to travel.

Why is this happening in🇬🇧 whilst children of this age in many other parts of the world are being safely vaccinated & @MHRAgovuk have approved it?

*New data* from 79,148 ppl giving birth in Scotland Mar 20 - Oct 21.

🦠 #COVID ⬆️ risk of stillbirth or neonatal death by ~4x, and preterm birth by ~2x

💉 #CovidVaccination protects against COVID and is not associated with poor #pregnancy outcomes. 1/

This gives us some homegrown data on vaccine effectiveness in pregnancy, including in the delta wave. Roughly speaking, vaccination reduces the risk of...

Any infection by 30%

Hospitalisation by 72%

ICU by 94%

2/
The findings are roughly in line with what we already know about the outcomes of COVID in pregnancy.

We usually say that stillbirth is 3x more likely following infection. The slightly higher number here may be because they also counted babies dying shortly after birth... 3/

Does #CovidVaccination cause changes to #periods?

I know ppl have been wondering about this! But up to now the data we had was pretty preliminary. However, with a large, prospectively collected dataset out yesterday, I think it’s time to start putting it all together.... 🧵
Here’s some more on that new study. In short, people who received both doses of the vaccine in a single menstrual cycle found their period came a couple of days late. But it was back to normal a couple of cycles later, so the change was temporary. 2/

This might explain why our UK-based study couldn’t find clear patterns to suggest that Covid vaccination is associated with changes to periods. In the UK, our interdose interval is 8 weeks, so it’s not possible to have both doses in the same cycle. 3/

Does #CovidVaccination cause changes to #periods? Biggest and best study so far...

In summary: on average, periods are delayed by ~half day by dose 2 of the vaccine, and delayed by ~2 days if you get both doses in the same cycle. But it's temporary! 🧵

journals.lww.com/greenjournal/F…
3959 spontaneously cycling ppl logged at least 6 consecutive cycles with tracking app @NaturalCycles.

2403 were vaccinated. Taking them all together, the average period came 0.64d late after dose 1 and 0.79d late after dose 2. No difference in length of period. 2/
Most of us wouldn’t even notice this! But could the average be hiding some small fraction of people who experience a large change? We define any variation in cycle length of less than 8 days as “normal”. 3/

1/12 It is wrong to suggest those vaccine-injured are functional, anxious hypochondriacs 🧵 “Functional neurological disorder after vaccination: a balanced approach informed by history” - dangerous claptrap.
2/12. Neurological manifestations in the central and peripheral nervous system post SARS CoV-2 infection are well documented in the medical literature.
3/12. Some patients who chose to have the vaccine are unfortunately vaccine injured. For the majority, benefits of vaccination will outweigh the risks. Unfortunately, sometimes, good drugs do bad things & this needs to be acknowledged.

It’s very concerning that #UsforThemUK are being given platforms to spread #COVIDDisinformation on @GMB & on @bbc5live .

They’re NOT a grass roots parents group & have links to many @Conservatives & to #Antivax groups.

😷s are just 1 part of an array of mitigations needed in schools (+other indoor spaces) to ⬇️#COVID19 transmission.

#LivingWithCOVID is a complete misnomer, it’s a lazy, irresponsible, selfish & unscientific approach that’ll result in many AVOIDABLE deaths.
Is that ok with U?

Whilst child deaths from #COVID19 are thankfully uncommon, did you know that 1 child per week has been dying in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿for many weeks now?
Many 1000s of children have #LongCovid & 100s have lost parents or v close relatives.
