So are you totally rejecting what this doctor, who went to Harvard University by the way, us saying? If she has concerns about the mRNA vaccines, then surely the ordinary folk would have legitimate concerns? I personally do not feel like acquiring an autoimmune disorder by jumping all into an mRNA vaccine. That is why I am waiting for the protein vaccine. She has MD after her name . She is not qualified to give an expert opinion . She isn’t a scientist . I had a doctor ask me the other day what route clexane is given , and another write in a patients adm notes ‘ seek medical attention’ if any concerns . I am shocked at how dumbed down our doctors are becoming . |

Once more people get vaccinated and the safety issues are known I'll book in. It is true that there will be a number of people who die from blood clots as a result of taking the AstraZeneca vaccine. Worldwide, of those who develop blood clots from that vaccine, about half die from the clots. The numbers seem to be about 1 in 100,000 will get blood clots. Pretty small numbers. If everyone in Australia took AstraZeneca vaccine, then about 250 would get blood clots so about 125 would die from it. Not everyone is going to have the AstraZeneca vaccine so the numbers are much smaller than that. Are we willing to accept those odds? On balance, I think so. I admitted 3 patients with PE/DVT last week , none had the vaccine .......whose to say those who developed blood clots wouldn’t have developed them anyway ? |

I totally agree with Alan Jones, his analysis is spot on, brilliant:
31 MAY 2021
SKY NEWS AUSTRALIA
Sky News host Alan Jones says Victorian politicians have made their bed and will now “have to lie on it”.
“Lockdowns achieve nothing, so if Victoria want to lock down the whole of the state, sad as it is for innocent Victorians, Josh Frydenberg is right,” Mr Jones said.
“Don’t ask Canberra for more money – Victorian politicians have made their bed and they will now have to lie on it.
“James Merlino, you put Victoria into lockdown, the whole of the state, you pay the price; and Josh Frydenberg, stand your ground.”

I've stuck at home for 5 months. I've no idea about time and we are already halfway through 2021.

I admitted 3 patients with PE/DVT last week , none had the vaccine .......whose to say those who developed blood clots wouldn’t have developed them anyway ? The clotting from the vaccine is different to the normal DVT type. The AstraZeneca vaccine uses a harmless disabled cold virus to deliver the spike protein. This is what's known as a viral vector vaccine. The same system is used by the Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) vaccine, and there have also been some cases of blood clots combined with low platelets following immunisation with their vaccine. Use of the vaccine was briefly halted last month in the United States following six cases, one of them fatal, after nearly seven million vaccinations. Within a week of the clots issue emerging, the MHRA and Prof Chris Whitty, the Chief Medical Officer for England, were informed, and haematologists across the NHS had been alerted. The experts spoke daily, which allowed them to find answers fast.
"I'm so proud of clinicians because everyone raced to get to the bottom of this and establish guidelines," says Dr Sue Pavord, consultant haematologist at Oxford University Hospitals.
"Very quickly we have brought the death rate down from 50% to 19%."
The condition is known as vaccine-induced thrombosis and thrombocytopenia - VITT for short.
News of how to identify and treat the condition was quickly spread to emergency departments and haematologists. Prof Scully says that's important because it is quite different to how one would normally treat a low platelet count or a blood clot.
So how many cases of VITT have there been in the UK?
A review by the MHRA has so far identified 332 cases of these rare, serious blood clots combined with low platelet levels, after 34.9 million doses of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine - up to 19 May 2021
Almost all are after the first shot
The incidence is one in 77,000 after the first dose
The incidence is one in 629,000 after the second dose
There have been 58 deaths - around two per 1.2 million doses
By contrast, there have been 1,900 deaths per million from Covid in the UKwww.bbc.com/news/health-57260463 |

Very sad news coming out of Malaysia. I am praying for them to get through this trying time.
Facing a Covid-19 surge, doctors will be forced to decide who gets bed in ICU, says Malaysia health chief31 MAY 2021 THE STRAITS TIMES PETALING JAYA (THE STAR/ASIA NEWS NETWORK) - Malaysian doctors will be forced to make the tough call over which patient should be given a bed in the intensive care unit (ICU) because of the sharp rise in Covid-19 cases, the Health Ministry said on Sunday (May 30). Health director-general, Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah, said if active Covid-19 cases exceed the capacity of the healthcare facilities in the country, doctors will have to prioritise ICU beds. "The Health Ministry has warned of possible scenarios in which doctors would have to make the difficult choice to prioritise ICU beds for patients with a high recovery potential over patients with low recovery potential (poor prognosis). "This is a difficult situation that we are all facing and the Health Ministry would like to call on all parties to work together," he said in a joint press conference with Senior Minister (Security) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob. Dr Noor Hisham said the numbers of available beds in ICUs, Covid-19 hospitals, as well as quarantine and treatment centres, were declining because of rapidly rising cases.

Dr. Norman Swan should try out for the Australian gymnastics team, he would win gold with all those backflips!  VIDEO: 4:08 SKY NEWS AUSTRALIA Sky News host Chris Kenny says the ABC’s “habitually wrong” health reporter, Norman Swan, has “been at it again”. “Norman Swan, who has pontificated on pandemic policy for more than a year now, and he's got things spectacularly wrong as we've shown you previously, he's now done a backflip on the vaccine rollout,” Mr Kenny said. “And guess what, surprise, surprise, his backflip just happens to coincide with partisan criticism of the federal Coalition government. |

Oh I see, every time that Sky News After Dark cockroach Chris Kenny trashes Norman Swan, Matt does his Pavlovian salivating thing and posts slavishly on NTB. Here puppy! Did Chrissy Wissy tickle you on your tummy? Behind your ears? Now shake hands. Beg. Roll over. Pant pant. Woof woof.

It is absolutely horrible to see what is happening in Nepal at the moment. They are currently going through a 2nd wave, some say it is worse than India on a per-capita basis.
Covid in Nepal: Families forced to say goodbye through crematorium gates
Nepal is experiencing a devastating wave of Covid-19, with more than 4,000 people dying with the virus in the last month alone.
The BBC's Rajini Vaidyanathan has spoken to families grieving for relatives, who are unable to say goodbye in their traditional way.
