Best thing China did with WuFlu was make it so good at smiting fats. It's why Africa and India have fared so well. Sure there's obese middle classes in both continents (as there are in middle classes everywhere) but they're not the rule like in the USA/Canada and Europe.

Correct

The VAST majority of deaths in the USA were either the elderly or obese fatasses.

Same in the EU.

Covid-19 raises risk of depression and dementia, study suggests
People diagnosed with Covid-19 in the previous six months were more likely to develop depression, dementia, psychosis and stroke, researchers have found.
A third of those with a previous Covid infection went on to develop or have a relapse of a psychological or neurological condition.
But those admitted to hospital or in intensive care had an even higher risk.
This is likely to be down to both the effects of stress, and the virus having a direct impact on the brain.
UK scientists looked at the electronic medical records of more than half a million patients in the US, and their chances of developing one of 14 common psychological or neurological conditions, including:
  • brain haemorrhage
  • stroke
  • Parkinson's
  • Guillain-Barré syndrome
  • dementia
  • psychosis
  • mood disorders
  • anxiety disorders
Anxiety and mood disorders were the most common diagnosis among those with Covid, and these were more likely to be down to the stress of the experience of being very ill or taken to hospital, the researchers explained.
Conditions like stroke and dementia were more likely to be down to the biological impacts of the virus itself, or of the body's reaction to infection in general.
Covid-19 was not associated with an increased risk of Parkinson's or Guillain-Barré syndrome (a risk from flu).

Cause and effect​

The study was observational, so the researchers couldn't say whether Covid had caused any of the diagnoses - and some people would have had a stroke or depression in the next six months regardless.
But by comparing a group of people who had had Covid-19 with two groups - with flu and with other respiratory infections respectively - the researchers at the University of Oxford concluded Covid was associated with more subsequent brain conditions than other respiratory illnesses.
The participants were matched by age, sex, ethnicity and health conditions, to make them as comparable as possible.
Sufferers were 16% more likely to develop a psychological or neurological disorder after Covid than after other respiratory infections, and 44% more likely than people recovering from flu.
On top of this, the more severely ill with Covid the patient had been, the more likely they were to receive a subsequent mental health or brain disorder diagnosis
Mood, anxiety or psychotic disorders affected 24% of all patients but this rose to 25% in those admitted to hospital, 28% in people who were in intensive care and 36% in people who experienced delirium while ill.
Strokes affected 2% of all Covid patients, rising to 7% of those admitted to ICU and 9% of those who had delirium.
And dementia was diagnosed in 0.7% of all Covid patients, but 5% of those who'd experienced delirium as a symptom.
Dr Sara Imarisio, head of research at Alzheimer's Research UK, said: "Previous studies have highlighted that people with dementia are at higher risk of developing severe Covid-19. This new study investigates whether this relationship may also hold in the other direction.
"The study doesn't focus on the cause of this relationship and it is important that researchers get to the bottom of what underlies these findings."
There is evidence the virus does enter the brain and cause direct damage, neurology professor Masud Husain at the University of Oxford, explained.
It can have other indirect effects, for example by affecting blood clotting which can lead to strokes. And the general inflammation which happens in the body as it responds to infection can affect the brain.
For just over a third of people developing one or more of these conditions, it was their first diagnosis.
But even where it was a recurrence of a pre-existing problem, researchers said this did not rule out the possibility that Covid had caused the episode of illness.
Prof Dame Til Wykes, at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, King's College London, said: "The study confirms our suspicions that a Covid-19 diagnosis is not just related to respiratory symptoms, it is also related to psychiatric and neurological problems.
"Looking over six months after diagnosis has demonstrated that the "after-effects" can appear much later than expected - something that is no surprise to those suffering from Long Covid.
"Although as expected, the outcomes are more serious in those admitted to hospital, the study does point out that serious effects are also evident in those who had not been admitted to hospital."

Just an observational study, but if found to be true just another reason to add to the 100s of reasons to get the vax, and to act smart while out aka everyone wearing masks and keeping 2 meters while shopping.

Be smart and stay safe everyone, don't be this idiot woman.

COVID-19: First dose of Moderna vaccine given in UK as 24-year-old carer Elle Taylor gets jab​

A 24-year-old carer has become the first person in the UK to receive the Moderna vaccine as it becomes the latest jab used in the country's vaccination programme.

Elle Taylor, from Ammanford in Wales, who is an unpaid carer for her 82-year-old grandmother, received the vaccine this morning.


"I'm very excited and very happy," she said. "I'm an unpaid carer for my grandmother so it is very important to me that I get it, so I can care for her properly and safely.

"My grandmother has had her first dose and she is going for her second dose on Saturday."




Moderna vaccine has arrived in the UK - here's everything you need to know about it

​


Miss Taylor, who works at a further education college in Llanelli, received the Moderna jab from staff nurse Laura French at West Wales General Hospital in Carmarthen.

She said she only found out on Tuesday evening that she was to be the first Briton to receive the Moderna jab in the UK.

First doses of the Moderna jab are being administered at West Wales General Hospital on Wednesday, with a total of 5,000 doses having been distributed to vaccination centres across Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire.

Supplies of the Moderna vaccine arrived in Wales on Tuesday.

Moderna's vaccine is the third to be approved for use in the UK, and is being rolled out alongside jabs from Pfizer-BioNTech and Oxford University-AstraZeneca.

The UK has purchased 17 million doses of the Moderna jab, enough for 8.5 million people, and phase three results suggest the vaccine has 100% efficacy against severe cases of coronavirus.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson urged people to "please get your jab as soon as you are contacted".

Health Secretary Matt Hancock said: "I'm delighted we can start the UK rollout of the Moderna vaccine in west Wales today.

"The UK government has secured vaccines on behalf of the entire nation and the vaccination programme has shown our country working together at its best.

"Three out of every five people across the whole United Kingdom have received at least one dose, and today we start with the third approved vaccine. Wherever you live, when you get the call, get the jab."

Wales health minister Vaughan Gething added that the introduction of a third vaccine "significantly adds to our defences in the face of coronavirus and will help protect our most vulnerable".

UK government minister Paul Scully told Sky News the Moderna jab would be "coming to England and the other devolved nations across the next few days".

"You've heard the vaccines minister Nadhim Zahawi talk about the third week of April, we're already just about to start the second week of April so that's not too long to wait to get that third vaccine up and running," he added.

Scotland received its first batch of Moderna vaccines on Monday.

According to Moderna, no serious safety concerns have been identified among those who have taken its vaccine. Severe events after the first dose have included pain around the injection site, while some have reported fatigue, muscle pain, joint pain and headaches after receiving their second dose.

It comes after a trial of the Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine on children in the UK was paused while the medicines regulator investigates a possible link between the jab and rare blood clots in adults.

A University of Oxford spokesperson stressed that there were "no safety concerns" with this specific study, but that further information was being awaited from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).

A spokesperson for the Department of Health and Social Care said: "No decisions have been made on whether children should be offered vaccinations.

"We will be guided by the advice of our experts on these issues including the independent MHRA and Joint Committee on Vaccines and Immunisation."

Over the weekend, it was reported that there had been 30 blood clotting cases recorded by the MHRA out of more than 18 million doses of the AstraZeneca shot administered.

The MHRA confirmed that of those 30 people, seven had died as of 24 March.

The World Health Organisation maintains that the benefits of this vaccine outweigh any risks.

First doses falls in UK to lowest level since January

Adam Finn, professor of paediatrics at the University of Bristol, said: "There are some things that are very clear. The first is that these cases are very rare indeed. The second is that the vaccines that are available and in use in the UK prevent COVID very effectively."

He added: "In short, if you are currently being offered a dose of Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine, your chances of remaining alive and well will go up if you take the vaccine and will go down if you don't."

Rollout will be 'considerably slower' until July

Analysis: Could safety concerns derail UK's vaccine rollout?
By Ashish Joshi, health correspondent

The ongoing safety concerns about the AstraZeneca-Oxford vaccine do not seem to have crossed the Channel. At least not yet.

The possible link between it and a rare type of blood clot has been around for a few weeks now.

Some governments in Europe have decided that they will not administer the jab to younger people.

That is against the advice of European Medicines Agency and the World Health Organisation.

But could these safety concerns actually derail the UK's phenomenal vaccine rollout? Potentially yes, but realistically it is unlikely. There are a number of reasons.

Vaccine hesitancy in much more culturally entrenched on the continent, especially in France and Germany. It is not as serious here among the wider population.

But clearly there are parts of the population where it is a concern, like our black and ethnic minority communities.

Also the rollout has been so successful that we are working through our target groups very quickly.

These are the ones who are most at risk: the clinically vulnerable and the elderly.

We know that our senior citizens are most compliant where vaccines are concerned.

Hesitancy becomes more prevalent in younger people. By the time we get round to vaccinating the under-40s, more vaccines will be on stream.

So if there is still uncertainty over the Oxford vaccine then it is possible an alternative can be administered.

This was simply not possible at the start of the rollout - the urgency demanded speed and scale.

For now the most significant bump in the road is the dramatic slowdown in the number of people being vaccinated. The Easter bank holidays could be a factor, and so is vaccine supply.

We were warned that this would happen. The government's own scientists have forecast a significant drop in vaccine doses being administered until the end of July.

But that has not dented the government's confidence. It says we are still on track to meet its target of vaccinating all adults by the end of July.

Another vax for those in the UK, good sign for other counties as well, should help with supply and if you are unable to get one of the other vaxes, always have another one you can get.

Didn't think anyone here was fascist, but with that weird out of nowhere post I guess you are a fascist and want me to know for some reason. But I will keep on posting here giving people the latest news and tips on staying save and getting the vax, remember everyone do your part in getting the world back to normal, don't be part of the new normal cult, this covid shit doesn't have to be forever, you have the power to stop it just don't let the fear of a needle stop you.

Ah mood disorder, sorry you got covid and lasting effect it has had on you, sad thing to see but hoping no bigger issues for you. This why it's important to be careful, while covid is unlikely to kill you if you are healthy and young, it can still have nasty side effects. Remember being careful such as wearing a seat belt takes no time, but if you don't the effects could last a life time.

The anti-vaxxers should hire you. You're great at making the vaccines look worse and even more orwellian than they already look lol

Now I don't trust any of these vaccine manufacturers as delivering anything better than a placebo for the fucking cold virus, however it doesn't get your almonds activated that all this nonstop kvetching is coming out of the EU? EMA is a European group. This vaccine rollout is being taken to show how inept and slow the EU system is while a national system can move quickly (for better or worse). For all of the state's stated goals on this, the EU has absolutely dropped the ball in the "get everyone vaxxed" game and are scrambling to make the UK look bad so that this failure (again for better or worse) isn't used against them by the likes of Hungary or the Netherlands.

The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, last I checked months ago, had tens of thousands of reported reactions from your typical bad flu symptoms to full on paralysis and permanent neurological damage. I have seen nothing yet that says the AZ vaccine is any worse in terms of side effect than the others. Just like the lockdowns have been primarily about flexing the state's power over the citizenry and political maneuvering, the vaccines are just another method of power politics and the biggest tool in each side's arsenal is still the media.

Also for all the talk of how the AstraZeneca vaccine is an Anglo vaccine, AZ is also Swedish and the manufacturing is done on the continent. The EU had wanted to purchase it too but had been dawdling and dithering in meetings, committees, and forums about it while the UK just went and preordered more than they'd need. Same with the US. Basically the collective Angloness of the US and UK caused the EU to not have any vaccines left to buy. If food supplies ever became like these stupid vaccines I'm sure the EU would starve before they figure out what percentage of husk is allowable in a bag of white rice.
