For example research shows that c13,000 children in the UK have lost a parent to covid, many more have lost a grandparent who supported their care. This will have an adverse impact upon their whole life. CDC research in the states shows that kids who have had covid are approx twice as likely to have a PE, myocarditis or venous thromboembolic event as those who haven't had covid. These will have to be balanced against the negative impacts of closures ieloss of education, increase in harm at home, etc. However lets not forget the covid scenario we faced in early 2020, the lack of info we had on covid, the lack of a vaccine, that decision making was easy re lock downs nor should we forget the Public Health and medical/scientific advice, based on many years of experience in managing outbreaks of deadly diseases that lockdowns including school closures were required.

“Patients with COVID-19 were less likely than were those without to experience respiratory signs and symptoms (0.91), symptoms of mental conditions (0.91), sleeping disorders (0.91), neurological conditions (0.94), anxiety and fear-related disorders (0.85), mood disorders (0.78), and muscle disorders (0.94); no significant associations were found for the remaining five symptoms and conditions.”

China sounds alarm after detecting NEW 'Langya' virus with 35 infected

DOCTORS in China have sounded the alarm over a newly detected virus.

“Langya” virus has infected 35 people so far in two provinces in eastern China, Taiwan’s Centers for Disease Control (CDC) said.

The virus – officially named Langya henipavirus (LayV) – is entirely novel, meaning it has not infected humans before.

However, it is in the Henipavirus family, of which two species have been identified before – the Hendra virus and Nipah virus.

These produce often severe and fatal illnesses in people – and there are no vaccines or treatments.

Henipavirus is classified as biosafety Level 4 with case fatality rates between 40 and 75 per cent, according to the data from World Health Organization (WHO).

None of the 35 patients who are infected with the new Langya virus have died, and none have been serious, according to the Global Times.

In an article published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), scientists in China reported that the patients were tested because they were febrile.

Their symptoms were most commonly fever, fatigue, a cough, loss of appetite, muscle pain, nausea, headache and vomiting.

The patients had a history of contact with animals, the paper said.

But, given there is a cluster of cases, it suggests the virus may have passed between humans already.

The paper said: “There was no close contact or common exposure history among the patients, which suggests that the infection in the human population may be sporadic.

“Contact tracing of nine patients with 15 close-contact family members revealed no close-contact LayV transmission.

“But our sample size was too small to determine the status of human-to-human transmission for LayV.”

It was suspected by the scientists that shrews were the most obvious carrier of Langya virus among 25 animals studied.

It is reminiscent of the Covid pandemic days, when China reported only a handful of novel coronavirus cases which were thought to be only related to animal transmission.

Zoonotic diseases – those that jump from animal to humans – are increasingly becoming a global health worry.

So-called “Disease X” is thought to be just around the corner, experts say, causing another huge pandemic.

Several factors are causing more of these viruses, which include Covid, Zika and Ebola, to emerge.

These include the destruction of natural habitats, wildlife consumption and trade, and climate change.

Nipah virus was first discovered in 1999, in Malaysia and Singapore when 100 deaths occurred out of 300 cases.
The brain-swelling virus has caused only a handful of outbreaks in the past two decades.

But it has the potential to cause a pandemic, the CDC warns.

Meanwhile, Hendra virus was first found in 1994 in Brisbane, Australia, with bats identified as the source.
Only seven cases of the virus have been reported.

All I get is a bit of an ache at the injection site, & that's gone by the next morning.

I'm the same as you

I should be eligible for one before the end of the year but have heard nothing yet...wouldn't be surprised if take up is low compared to the previous offerings.

Well it’ll save a bit on your heating bills. Get the family to huddle round.

Interesting study? It has a number of caveats but it does look like the MAGA anti-vaxxers are killing themselves off and at the same time helping democrats win more elections - win:win as far as I'm concerned.

The Yanks are doing even more Gain of Function research on Covid.

Making their own version of Wuhan with added bits.


Yep, nothing will ever leak from a lab!!!!!

Oh and it kills 40% of mice infected with it.

I thought it was 80% killed.

Farking disgraceful messing around with this sort of thing.
