This article is behind a paywall so undoubtedly the Washington Post (WAPO)is a for profit corporation. I'm compelled to think that there could be a bias towards unethical journalistic practice to get eyeballs. Perhaps sensationalism. Just a thought.

I subscribe to the Washington Post and cut and pasted the article for everyone to see.

Of course the WAPO in a for profit corporation and it is now owned by Jeff Bezos.

There are some great Newspapers in the world, The WAPO is one of them. The newspaper has won 69 Pulitzer Prizes, the second-most of any publication (after The New York Times).

To suggest that the Post could be "biased towards unethical journalistic practice to get eyeballs." is a ridiculous assertion as is any assertion that the Post is doing this to get more readers or that they are looking for sensationalism to sell papers is ridiculous.

Jeff Bezos has no editorial control over the Post. The WaPo and the NYT are the kind of papers that the world needs, because they represent what Great Newspapers should be,


I tried to post the article but is is too large to be posted as it is well over 10,000 words and is graphics heavy

Here is a tinyurl I created that might provide a link for those interested.

 
Not the best summer ever

36% Of Those Who Had Covid-19 Didn’t Develop Antibodies, Study Says​

Think you are protected against the Covid-19 coronavirus and don’t need the Covid-19 vaccine just because you’ve already had Covid-19? Well, contrary to what some motivational talks may tell you, don’t be so sure of yourself. A study just published in the journal Emerging Infectious Disease found that 36% of those who had had Covid-19 didn’t have antibodies against the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in their blood.

36% Of Those Who Had Covid-19 Didnât Develop Antibodies, Study Says

This is further evidence that you should get vaccinated regardless of whether you've had a Covid-19 coronavirus infection previously.

It Seems Not All COVID-19 Patients Develop Antibodies

But several recent reports have found that not everyone who gets infected has detectable antibodies. When someone gets infected but does not develop antibodies, it's said that they don't seroconvert.

Several research studies from different countries have come to this conclusion.

A report from Israel determined that five percent of COVID-19 patients that had gotten a positive test result from a nasal swab did not seroconvert. In Germany, scientists found that 85 percent of people that had contact with SARS-CoV-2-positive individuals did not develop antibodies to the virus.

 
The unvaccinated are the ones that are tying up hospital beds, and burning out doctors and nurses. 80% of Covid patients in BC hospitals are unvaccinated. So far, 87% of ICU patients in BC are unvaccinated. The unvaccinated are tying up medical resources, not just in BC.

B.C. ICUs most filled since May; 87% are unvaccinated

87%!

And the economy is getting tied up as well with insane amount of handouts, and people not wanting any work. But hey keep protesting. Look at this debt it's just sickening.

I like to keep track of what Moderna is doing and what they say about covid-19, bonus is that we have excellent public health researchers here in BC that can use that knowledge to help guide us through this pandemic.

Exclusive look inside Moderna: Tracking variants and the call for COVID-19 boosters​

October 1, 2021

Walk inside Moderna and the feeling of urgency is palpable.

It makes sense. The world has been struggling under a pandemic for almost two years, and the biotech firm is fighting to stay ahead of COVID-19, which has killed more than 4.5 million people worldwide.

Moderna’s manufacturing site is located 40 minutes outside of Boston, a former Polaroid plant, where vaccine production lines operate around the clock, executives function on minimal sleep, and employees are fuelled by a cocktail of adrenaline and purpose.

For two days in September, Global News became the only Canadian news outlet ever to be invited inside Moderna’s operations — for a first-hand look at its manufacturing hub and its headquarters.

Pfizer submits preliminary data to Health Canada for kids' COVID-19 vaccine​

Oct 02, 2021

Pfizer and its partner BioNTech have submitted preliminary data from their trial for a COVID-19 shot for kids to Health Canada earlier than expected, the department confirmed Saturday.

A formal filing of the submission for authorization of a vaccine for children is expected in mid-October, according to an email from Health Canada.

Authorization of a vaccine for children between the ages of five and 11 years old would be a major step. There are currently no COVID-19 vaccines authorized for children under 12 years old in Canada.

Earlier in the week, Pfizer submitted data on its study for a vaccine for children to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, with a formal request for emergency use authorization there also expected in the coming weeks.

Myth: Ivermectin worked in India so we should use it in Canada.
Truth: Ivermectin and HCQ were dropped from the clinical guidance after studies found that these drugs have little to no effect on Covid-related mortality or clinical recovery of the patient. The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and the National Task Force on Covid-19 have dropped the use of Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) drugs from their revised guidelines for the treatment of the infection.

Myth: Ivermectin worked in Brazil so we should use it here.
Truth: Brazil's tragic ivermectin frenzy is a warning to the US, experts say.
But Brazilians quickly discovered — through heart-wrenching personal experience — the limits of treating COVID-19 with ivermectin. Brazil suffered some of its worst death rates yet in late 2020 and early 2021, even in heavily ivermectin-dosed areas, as the more transmissible P1, or Gamma, variant spread quickly across the country.

"Look at what happened in Brazil," Natália Taschner, a Brazilian microbiologist and research scholar at Columbia University in New York, said. "Then wonder: If this drug worked, would Brazil be in such bad shape?"
