Finally here: Update #2 GB  https://www.jw.org/en/library/videos/#en/home

Brother Cook said that the pandemic will come to an end, so let´s keep on the watch, have faith and keep safe!

What a wonderful update. 
 

Other than how the Bethelites are dealing with the pandemic, Br. Cook didn’t update on the numbers of friends we’ve lost due to the virus. 
 

But maybe that’s a good thing, I don’t know. I just hope not many more.

Pfizer Covid vaccine cuts transmission of coronavirus, new real-world study shows

The analysis also shows real-world evidence of the vaccine's effectiveness against a highly infectious variant of Covid-19 first discovered in Britain.

They're getting close to having one that is not a shot but a nasal spray, said to be more efficient in boosting the immune system...

Exactly 

because it supposed to stop spreading/ transmission and enhance first line protection stimulation of IgA locally among other features

A firm in BC Canada is testing a nasal spray in the UK that Kills the virus Fast. They should have tested it in Toronto too.

 

It sticks in my mind that it contained H2O2  hydrogen peroxide.

I wonder how strong the peroxide is. from medical research years ago, the equivalent of 1 ml of 37% in 1 liter water was the most you should use in very deep cuts and sensitive membranes or it burns/kills the body's cells.

[pnutts]

Oops. won't let me edit.

Should add that the Cdn -BC nasal spray is Not a vaccine. Kills virus in nasal system which is how it invades the lungs and rest of body.

Denmark, Iceland and Norway have suspended the use of the Oxford-AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine while the European Union's medicines regulator investigates whether the shot could be linked to a number of reports of blood clots.

Interestingly no cases of blood clotting have been detected either during the tests nor among the hundreds of thousands who have already received the AstraZeneca vaccine until now. All the current cases seem related to one particular batch, so it seems likely that it's a defective batch.

 

In Spain vaccinations from that particular batch have been suspended, but they are still giving people the AstraZeneca vaccine from other batches.

He did not mention, but it has been noted. Just cannot remember where I seen the number.

KPRC 2:  17 Brenham nursing home residents contract COVID-19 after being vaccinated

Those that have already gotten their shots please continue to  stay on alert (as the governing body has told us) and keep wearing your mask and following social distancing protocol.  The world wants to rush and get back to normal but it seems it's going to take a long time for this to end.  Gathering in close quarters may not be a wise thing.

The vaccine is not to stop you getting covid but rather to drastically reduce the chance of dying from it.

Just like the flu shot. It doesn't stop you from catching flu but can reduce the severity of it.

Pfizer's Covid vaccine is linked to MORE blood clots than AstraZeneca's - so why isn't the EU banning it? Hypocrisy of European nations revealed as Italy admits decision was 'POLITICAL'

[Qapla]

Is it possible that being vaccinated gives a positive test ? Even  if you don't actually have the virus?

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/facts.html

After getting a COVID-19 vaccine, will I test positive for COVID-19 on a viral test?

 

No. Neither the recently authorized and recommended vaccines nor the other COVID-19 vaccines currently in clinical trials in the United States can cause you to test positive on viral tests, which are used to see if you have a current infection.

That's the dailymail, maybe we will need a more serious and reliable paper

I have allergy to aspirin but I was allowed to get the vaccine one week ago due to the revised guidelines. I had stiffness on the injection site for one night after vaccination.

 

"The  Singapore Ministry of Health (MOH) has relaxed its Covid-19 vaccination guidelines for some people with allergies, so long as they do not have a history of anaphylaxis, which is a type of life-threatening allergic reaction.

 

This includes people with a history of allergic reactions to certain anti-inflammatory drugs, so long as they have not suffered from anaphylaxis.

 

Anaphylaxis is when someone experiences two or more of the following criteria: Hives or swelling in the face, eyelids, lips or throat, difficulty breathing, and dizziness."

Is the "Political" reason because the AstraZeneca vaccine is manufactured in the UK?

"Where are the vaccines coming from?

The UK is currently receiving doses of two vaccines approved by the medicine regulator.

The Pfizer-BioNTech jab - the first to be given the green light in December - is being imported from Puurs, Belgium.

 

A second vaccine, from Oxford University and AstraZeneca, is being made in Britain by two biotech companies: Oxford BioMedica, based in Oxford; and Cobra Biologics, based at Keele Science Park, Staffs.

 

Another company, Wockhardt, based in Wrexham, fills the vials and packages them for use."

IMO the Daily Mail tabloid is just trying to rock the boat. AstraZeneca's vaccine hasn't been banned in the EU. There have been a few cases of people who had uncommon blood clots after getting the vaccine, so the vaccination program has been paused until their relation with the vaccine can be discarded or confirmed. It seems a reasonable response.

 

A few days ago Italy blocked a cargo of 250,000 AstraZeneca vaccines that were being shipped to Australia. They said they won't allow AstraZeneca to export vaccines to other countries until they deliver first all the doses agreed upon. I am not justifying the Italian government nor agreeing or disagreeing with it. But that proves it's not true that Europe is rejecting AstraZeneca vaccines, rather they are looking for them desperately.

Portugal banned it days ago and it’s back to it today

EMA finds it safe to use 🤷‍♀️

Just noticed the Guardian article about the blocking of the 250,000 doses.

 

Australia received their first vaccine supply on Feb 15, 142,000 doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine.

Denmark said on Saturday that one person had died and another fell seriously ill with blood clots and cerebral haemorrhage after receiving the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccination. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-denmark-idUSKBN2BC0A4

 

Even though they are rare and isolated cases...Somewhat, I am concerned and cannot shake off that feeling.

Your concerns, as well as concerns of many others I know regarding this experimental vaccine, are indeed valid.  Please, be informed.
