YOOOOO I BRING HOT NEWS! China just published an article on The Lancet claiming to have the
FIRST SAFE AND EFFECTIVE vaccine for covid having passed phase 1 human trials. The fact that an american company was the first one to pass phase 1 seems not to matter to all the dumb journos parroting the "FIRST" part... ejem. Here's the text:
(And here's an article on the american version
https://abcnews.go.com/Health/coron...promise-early-human-testing/story?id=70741590 )
But what makes this so fucking hilarious ain't the "first" part, oh no. It's the "safe and effective" part. Oh yeah this is a dumpster fire! Btw. The american version WAS safe and effective (at least by phase 1 standards. We've yet to see phase 2), which makes it all the funnier. So. Introduction:
-A buncha chinks from Wuhan got selected for a
non-randomized open lable trial with no control group. This means everyone knew exactly what each trial member was taking at all times.
Funded and designed by a chinese guvernmental organization which also oversaw the research yet the researchers ensure us absolutely would not ever possibly manipulate the data in a million years, pinky finger promise! *ejem*
-To ensure the participants weren't infected with regular covid they used
the same chinese fast tests we keep proving can't actually detect the virus. Instead of, you know, a fucking CPR.
-The vaccine is an AD5 hybrid. And over half the fucking test group had high AD5 antibodies before vaccination. They specifically marked that indeed the vaccine caused a spike in AD5 antibodies, yet still measure the growth in T-Cells (which we know from the antibody spike are responding to AD5) as a positive outcome. To be fair after 28 days a rise in sars-cov-2 antibodies was also measured. But I find the T cell part absolutely hilarious. Specially since only around 50% saw the antibody for covid increase yet nearly 100% saw a spike in AD5 antivirus. Like that should tell these idiots they're triggering 2 immune responses. For a virus already infamous for triggering excessive immune responses.
-And talking about excessive immune responses,: 81% of the participants
suffered from side effects such as muscle pain, nausea and fever. And 1 suffered a severe immune response.Also these adverse effects were not measured according to ISO regulations but according to the much laxer protocols issued by the China State FDA. *ejem.* Furthermore these incidents were reported less on patients with AD5 immunity. Which should tell you this is because their AD5 vector is causing them. Meaning it is possibly dangerous to non-immunized patients. Fucking massive brain chinese 100IQ advantage not to note that!
I will keep reading later but for now. As soon as I read the part about using those cheapo plastics for covid detection I just launched my sides into orbit so I wanted to bring the initial hot take here.
For the record. I wouldn't necessarily hate that the test has no control group. RCTs (Randomized Control Trials) aren't always used when it comes to emergencies, for reasons explained later. Thing is. RCTs in vaccination tend to use pre-existing vaccines (what is refered to "best available treatment" trials) instead of placebo. Mostly because denying vaccination to large numbers of people you know will be exposed to a pathogen is... Not the most ethical prospect, to put it mildly. Which brings the question of what to do when no vaccine is available. This is a very hard to answer question with serious ramifications that we won't answer today.
Because while usually I'd be lenient with non-RCTs, having read that the trial
uses those cheapo tests that can't detect the broad side of a barn for control and
is directly overseen by chinese officials which designed the test and had access to all information gathered, and taking into account that the day 14 results were actually appalingly disastrous yet by day 28 SARS COV 2 antibodies miraculously spike, and well, I think we all see where I'm going with this.
Needless to say this is as horrifying as it is hilarious and I hope you're all having a day as funny as mine. God I needed to have a laugh.
Oh and also: the right wing is now trying to claim they have "retaken the streets" bragging how their protests have "tens of participants." Which has made the left repost the "There are dozens of us. DOZENS!" meme en masse because just this january the white tide managed to get over 5000 people to protest the healthcare cuts here in cadiz and that was seen as not as many as expected while yesterday's protest in seville had exactly 16 fucking participants. And now they're bragging about thay... Fucking clownworld. Kek extraordinaire.
And on national news. Next round of reopenings. We're going to phase 2 and so is half of spain, no one gets left on phase 1. And with even more concessions on all phases, phase 2 is practically just total reopen. I mean... we won't be able to make concerts or festivals but that's literally it.
And on more good news with the economy re-spiking and the industrial tissue on recovery mode Spain's dependence on petrol is being reduced, which is really good because that's where most of our import money wound up being wasted. So overall it seems the rebounce has started.
Oh yeah also, Ayuso plans on fomenting tourism for Madrid. And everyone laughed their assess off at that. Every fucking summer madrid goes deserted as even its own inhabitants can't take the horrid air quality and abhorrent lifestyle. Tourism? Yer gonna need a lot more than some fucking parks to fix that shit buddy.
