What a great episode! My favorite part was Dr. Racianello doubling down on his prediction that the winter wave might be attenuated by community immunity from all the covid that popped off in the last 6-8 weeks. He could be wrong, everybody else has been, but he seems to know what he's about. 🤘
We're watching.. It'll give more information on if the waves are based more on waning immunity vs. shift in variant. We're now at 8% of the sequenced US population with the recombinant XEC.
Bavarian Nordic stock jumped in Aug. You know what they say, if you listen to the obvious news, you will be the one holding the bag. ie. the general public are typically the last to know when these things happen.
Anti bodies wane but memory B cells remain. I thought i heard Daniel last week indicate that T cells wane after 6 months and elsewhere (CIDRAP) recommended C19 boosters because of this waning. I'm trying to learn but sometimes it seems I'm getting contradictory messages!
I believe the issue is if the memory cells to the virus match the antigens of the virus trying to replicate. Yes antibodies and T cells wane. But memory cells remain. If you are younger, healthier, you have more of a buffer for those cells to replicate, adapt and protect you. A booster will immediately activate the memory cells, try to adapt to the vaccines new code if there is one, and boost levels of the cells. So that if you encounter the virus, more active immune cells would be present. Adapting to the newer genetic depends on immune imprinting of course. But T-cell epitotes are less likely to mutate I believe.
@@AlbertMark-nb9zodepends on the immune response. There is a short lived b cell immune response to certain vaccines (primarily polysaccharide vaccines). Hence there is a risk that a certain vaccine could just elicit that pathway.
@@AlbertMark-nb9zoalso the important epitopes are around the binding sites the virus uses to infect a cell. If the virus changed to use a different binding site then it would probably not be considered SARS-CoV-2. The bigger issue is if the virus mutated such that it could use either ACE2 or another binding site to infect a cell. Antibodies reduce naturally once a pathogen has cleared with a half life of 21 days. Also there are both memory T cells and B cells.
@@WillNewcombit may be worth your time to watch some immunology videos on RUclips, particularly Brianne Barkers undergraduate course, the 2024 version is available now.
Mpox cases in "Africa" means nothing. It is not under control also means little. The continent is fucking huge, you can put the US three times into the same area. Therefore it needs to be by country, and which country is able to control ot and which not.
At present the outbreak is mainly confined to a handful of central African countries, which should be targeted; however there are political issues that may make the distribution of the vaccines difficult.
@@christopherrobinson7541 yes, it is called the Eastern Kongo, the rest of East Africa, minus South Sudan should not have problems with distribution. Aside from the Eastern Kongo, mpox is now in Kinshasa, a city of 14 million people, that is a nightmare. What should also be mentioned, this means the chance of mpox mutating aka adapting to humans and becoming more contagious has increased. Luckily, it is a DNA virus and hence much more stable than COVID.
Primary, secondary or tertiary cause of death are usually listed. Could Covid hasten the death of someone with stage 4 cancer? Likely, but not always, since I know some one who has stage 4 and lived through Covid.
Retired Oncology nurse here. Many people live with stage four cancers for months or years. If their cancer condition is stable and they catch Covid and develop a severe illness and die then I would say that Covid killed them before their cancer did.
Medical doctor here. The cause of death should be labeled as covid and that would be the only honest and correct way. Contributing factors are also required which can include cancer but will first include complications of cancer for example renal failure etc .
Most also do not know that no body worth their Daly counts official PCR based numbers as total count as it has been proven to be severely underestimated in third world countries and mildly underestimated in the developed countries except 1 or two where it was slightly overcounted but than adjusted - USA was not one one of them.
A more relevant question is how did Sars cov2 spread out of the quarantine zone to the resorts and business hubs of the world. As I recall a certain world leader insisted their citizens not stay in the zone and wouldn't require quarantine if they didn't fly straight home.
Simple explanation for why children are 60% of the cases: the adults underreport, for stigma in Africa. Cognitive impairment for a year in everyone: this is more support for the idea that covid causes a long lasting taurine deficiency somehow, since taurine is known to improve cognition.
It is hard to question the age of "children " around the world. Including the United States. Are children having sex ? MPox may be from parents and close contact.. But they do have sex ,some at very young ages. Some countries are married at puberty .
Yes of course kids are sexually active at much younger age in Africa and abused by adults. Kids having sex below 16 in the UK is common place. It would be more informative if any other STD’s was also detected in the children Mpox cases in Africa.
Mortality and distribution of MPox is minimal. It is a treatable disease and the focus should be on treatment and not vaccination. The only reason for the focus on vaccination seems to be economic and the WHO is being influenced by money it receives from big pharma.
lol . What’s the treatment and when it needs to be administered and what the effectiveness percentage . Learn all that and apologize for the dumb comment . Also it’s not preventative so why do you people to have monkey pox and spread it more ? Don’t like people ?
If ,, cold agglutinine,, occur after some viral infection at some patients,if blood temperature decrease, increase tendency of erytocite to aggregate (reversibile),damaging capillary circulation at some level. If oxigenoterapy use cold oxigen mix,at lung capillary level blood temperature decrease Rarely if ,,cold agglutinine,,, occur, or level of cryoglobuline IgM antibody increase must avoid to decrease body temperature. When I used warmed oxigen mix at body temperature on ambulance (using warmed water in barbotor) oxigen saturation increased more and rapidly. At this patients a drop of blood put on a glass surface,agglutinate before coagulate (at room temperature ) If glass surface was warmed at 36C -37C agglutination did not occur.
There are people ( including Brandon again who o tried to educate several times )still so confused and unable to think logically that they ask How is it finding animal DNA there mean pandemic stated there ? you never count one thing alone but even if you did 1: of it started elsewhere the earlier cases would be around that area and spread out . But then we have two lineages .
Love you guys. But while YLE was wrong on the viewer question, there was an undeserved harshness in the response given what she has done during the pandemic to speak to the science. Everyone gets it wrong sometimes. Do better.

The fact that COVID caused cognitive impairment is scary as heck in that challenge test.
And people keep harassing those who wear a respirator to not spread this disease.

There are other studies that show that the cognitive impairment is a risk with each infection and that the degree of the condition is cumulative.
So why aren't we making more of an effort to avoid spreading the virus?
This show also calms my nerves.
