Please specify which vaccines those bodies are advocating and which aren't?
Maybe that's why Indian guidelines "are still blurred"?
Just an example

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists only mention the 3 vaccines they use

acog.org/covid-19/covid…
Australia meanwhile is recommending against taking the vaccine if pregnant

health.gov.au/resources/publ…
So there isn't really a consensus on this at this point.

IMHO maybe we should focus on vaccinating everyone around the pregnant woman to protect her and her unborn child rather than vaccinating her without knowing the risk vs benefit fully?

As long as the propaganda plays up the "there is no oxygen shortage no bed shortage all lies to defame Modi" lies scenes like this will be the norm

To my fellow HCWs
My humble suggestion
If family members get agressive De-escalate & walk away
In a pandemic your life is priority
Learn & keep ready exit strategies
Do not engage with agressive behaviour
Call the police & escape

I repeat again
In a pandemic your life is more important

We are on our own
This government won't help
Their cheerleaders may abuse you online
But not worth your life
Good luck 😞

A certain doctor with a moderately decent twitter following is outraged over the "media coverage of the funeral pyres all over the nation" & is demanding to know "why aren't the media focusing on mild/moderate cases & the recovery rate instead"
I honestly have no reply for this🤷‍♂️

Good Morning
Short answer is NO - utter nonsense
Long answer
This forward has two parts to it
1 true & 1 not
While the role of varying levels of progesterone & oestrogen affecting the immune system has been seen in some studies (true)
Vaccines DON'T DECREASE immunity (false)
Vaccine trigger the immune system to produce antibodies by mimicking an infection. That's why many have fever after a vaccine. You are literally being infected by a milder form of the disease to allow your body to have a practice sparring session with it.
one point i will add is, if you are a woman who has really difficult periods (Dysmenorrhea) then maybe you could consider delaying till you cross that time
this is only a matter of personal preference & situation nothing else

Excellent Doubt
As we learned in school, Earth's Atmospheric air is made up of
Nitrogen 78%
Oxygen 21%
and the remaining 1% made up of other gases
See Pie chart below

So we are breathing this air
We need ONLY 21% right?
Why 99.9% oxygen cylinders then?
This answer is a little long so bear with me. I will try and keep this as simple & brief as possible.

To start with 4 questions...
What is ventilation?
What is oxygenation?
What is respiration?
What is the difference?
Ventilation is a term that refers to the molecular exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body. Carbon dioxide is transported through the veins to the lungs where it can be exhaled. This natural phenomenon keeps the blood acidity (the pH) down within the normal range.

Let's talk about Oxygen

What Are The Differences Between Medical Oxygen And Industrial Oxygen?

Medical oxygen is high purity oxygen that is used for medical treatments and is developed for use in the human body. Medical oxygen cylinders contain a high purity of oxygen gas
no other types of gases are allowed in the cylinder to prevent contamination. There are additional requirements and rules for medical oxygen, including requiring a person to have a prescription to order medical oxygen.
Industrial oxygen is focused on uses in industrial plants including combustion oxidation cutting & chemical reactions The industrial oxygen purity levels arent appropriate for human use & there could be impurities from dirty equipment or industrial storage that could harm people.
