Many countries experienced an excess mortality in 2022. This is likely the result of many factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic’s aftermath or the strain on healthcare systems. Moreover, since the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines in January 2021, countries with a higher vaccine coverage have so far experienced less excess mortality on the whole than countries with lower vaccine coverage.
Hydrogen peroxide’s antimicrobial activity can be used to disinfect inanimate surfaces and sanitize tools, but it should not be nebulized. Nebulizing transforms a liquid medicine into a mist that can be inhaled. Inhaling hydrogen peroxide can cause respiratory irritation and even severe lung complications.
COVID-19 bivalent vaccines are designed to provide protection against both the original SARS-CoV-2 and the Omicron variant. Safety signals from pharmacosurveillance systems aren’t enough to determine whether an actual risk exists. This requires additional investigation and comparison with other monitoring tools. The higher risk of stroke following vaccination detected in the VSD surveillance system hasn’t been confirmed in other systems nor in clinical studies.
The Omicron variant XBB.1.5 contains several mutations that make it more infectious and more capable of evading the immune system. COVID-19 vaccination is highly effective at protecting people against severe COVID-19 and death, and to a lesser extent, against infection as well. The data so far indicates that unvaccinated people are more likely to develop COVID-19 and die compared to vaccinated people.
Tabletop exercises are a normal tool of pandemic preparedness training to improve international coordination and response. They are akin to fire drills, for example. Similar simulations in the past occurred without a corresponding pandemic breaking out in the real world.
Jacques Attali is a French economist, writer and political adviser. While his considerations span many topics, from economy to politics to society, there is no evidence he ever advocated for depopulation nor the use of pandemic or treatments to control population size.
Multiple scientific studies show that COVID-19 vaccines effectively reduce the risk of severe disease and death. Observations from a Swiss team using a more sensitive detection protocols revealed that there are cases of mild myocarditis that previously went undetected owing to the absence of severe symptoms. The risk of myocarditis requiring medical attention is higher during COVID-19 than after vaccination with mRNA vaccines.
In the U.S., the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) is a no-fault program that compensates people who are found to have been injured by certain vaccinations. It doesn’t prohibit people from suing vaccine manufacturers, but people can only pursue legal action against manufacturers after exhausting their options through the VICP. Both authorized and approved COVID-19 vaccines are pandemic countermeasures under the PREP Act declaration. Therefore, they aren’t covered by the VICP, but by another program known as the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program.
Face masks act as a physical barrier that blocks infectious respiratory droplets. However, mask pores are still big enough to allow tiny gas molecules, including carbon dioxide, to pass through. Therefore, wearing a face mask can’t cause carbon dioxide to accumulate in amounts significant enough to cause blood acidity. Furthermore, cancer is caused by mutations, not body acidity.
Since the beginning of the AIDS epidemic, an estimated 40.1 million people have died from AIDS-related illnesses. AIDS was first reported in 1981, and HIV-1, the virus that causes AIDS, was first isolated from patients in 1983. HIV/AIDS denialism isn’t just false, it’s also deadly when it forms the basis for public health policies. An estimated 330,000 people died in South Africa, as a result of the government’s rejection of HIV drugs.
