Avian Flu Diary: UK PHE: `Indian’ Variant B.1.617.2 Reclassified As a Variant of Concern (VOC)
True COVID-19 death toll is double the official numbers, study finds – Axios
There have been twice as many deaths from COVID-19 around the world as have been reported, according to the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), which analyzed excess mortality and other factors.
The big picture: The U.S. has undercounted by over 300,000 deaths, while the death tolls in India and Mexico — second and third on the list, respectively — are nearly three times the official numbers, according to the analysis.
“Many deaths from COVID-19 go unreported because countries only report deaths that occur in hospitals or in patients with a confirmed infection. In many places, weak health reporting systems and low access to health care magnify this challenge,” the report notes.
- In Russia, which has used unusually strict criteria for attributing deaths to COVID-19, the IHME estimate is five times the official number.
- In Egypt, there have been nearly 13 deaths for every one that’s recorded, per the report.

Amnesty International reinstates Navalny’s ‘prisoner of conscience’ status — Meduza
Amnesty International has decided to re-designated jailed Kremlin critic Alexey Navalny as a “prisoner of conscience.”
The human rights organization initially recognized Navalny as a “prisoner of conscience” when he was arrested upon returning to Russia in January 2021. It rescinded this status in February on the grounds that Navalny’s past statements about migrants from Central Asia and the North Caucasus constitute hate speech.
In a statement released on May 7, Amnesty International wrote that “the Russian government and its supporters used that internal decision, which we had not intended to make public, to further violate Navalny’s rights.” This prompted Amnesty to undertake a review of its overall approach to granting “prisoner of conscience” status.

COVID Vaccines Are Safe and Effective | NeuroLogica Blog
Meanwhile, there is a dedicated band of anti-vaxxers actively spreading lies and misinformation about the COVID vaccines to the public. It’s as if they are trying to kill as many people as possible. Much of this information is coming from just 12 people – the usual anti-vax suspects, like Mercola and RFK Jr. It shows how much power a lone crank can now have given the amplification of social media. Their claims are all nonsense, but they have to be repeatedly debunked.
David Gorski has been primarily taking on this task at SBM – you can find his recent posts on COVID anti-vaxxers here. Mainstream medical outlets have also been trying to put out the flames, such as the Mayo Clinic and Johns Hopkins. To quickly summarize:
- mRNA vaccines do not rewrite your DNA. They don’t even get into the nucleus of the cell.
- They do not permanently create viral protein. The mRNA only lasts 10-14 days.
- They do not shed spike proteins that can affect the unvaccinated
- They do not cause spontaneous abortion or infertility
- The science was not rushed – only the regulatory process was streamlined so that multiple steps could be taken simultaneously.
- mRNA technology is not new, it has been around for decades. These are just the first mRNA vaccines.

« Eles se esqueceram rapidamente da beleza da floresta! »
«Eles começaram a arrancar avidamente os minerais do solo. Eles construíram fábricas para derretê-los e fabricar grandes quantidades de mercadorias.
Disseram a si próprios: as nossas mãos não são tão boas a fazer estas coisas? Somos os únicos tão espertos! Somos verdadeiramente o povo de mercadorias!
Eles proliferaram dinheiro em todos os lugares. Por quererem possuir toda essa mercadoria, eles foram tomados por um desejo ilimitado.
Foi com essas palavras mercantis que os brancos começaram a cortar todas as árvores, a maltratar a terra e a contaminar as águas.
Eles fazem isso por ciúme pelo ouro. »
