Duration of effectiveness of vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 disease: results of a systematic review and meta-regression – The Lancet

COVID-19 vaccine efficacy or effectiveness against severe disease remained high, although it did decrease somewhat by 6 months after full vaccination. By contrast, vaccine efficacy or effectiveness against infection and symptomatic disease decreased approximately 20–30 percentage points by 6 months. The decrease in vaccine efficacy or effectiveness is likely caused by, at least in part, waning immunity, although an effect of bias cannot be ruled out. Evaluating vaccine efficacy or effectiveness beyond 6 months will be crucial for updating COVID-19 vaccine policy.

Europas ledare! gör något nu! stoppa det vansinniga kriget! innan det är försent

stefansphotos.se

Hur länge ska världen! vänta! hur länge ska världens ledare gömma sig bakom! sanktioner stora ord och donationer! detta är utomordentligt hedervärt!,

Men Ukrainas befolkning behöver nu hjälp! innan ett helt folk och land blir utplånat, kriget har redan börjat! Vakna nu innan det är försent.

Europa är redan indraget i kriget! att sätta ned foten nu och visa Ryssland att Europa inte tolerar att detta oförlåtliga övergrepp på ett självständigt och fungerande land.

Vad som händer om krigförande trupper som hjälp till Ukrainas arme vet nog ingen! Men att låta ett land få ta hela Europas börda på axlarna själv! är det verkligen rätt!.

Europas ledare och länder ta nu ett rejält grepp om händelserna, Tänk om ett främmande land stod på tröskeln till ditt land! och trampade över den och bombade sig fram!

Att hjälpa och skydda Ukraina aktivt i landet är också att skydda och hjälpa Europa…

  2. RUZMARIN (Rosmarinus officinalis) – U antička vremena ruzmarin je važio je za biljku koja poboljšava pamćenje. Senilnost i slabljenje pamćenja povezano je sa djelovanjem slobodnih radikala, pa je opravdano koristiti ruzmarin, provjeren biljni oksidans, za očuvanje zdravlja mozga.

Pomenuta jedinjenja apsorbuju se kroz kožu…

On Popcorn And Voting Rights

Filosofa's Word

There is so much laying claim to my attention these days that I think I need more than one brain to keep up with it all!  Obviously, the Russian invasion of Ukraine takes up a big part of my thoughts, but there are other things happening closer to home that we cannot turn a blind eye to.  So, setting aside the ongoing drama in Ukraine for just a few minutes …


A bag of popcorn …

It has been eight years since Curtis Reeves, a retired police officer, shot and killed Chad Oulson in a movie theater near Tampa, Florida.  Last week, a jury acquitted Reeves who claimed he “acted in self-defense”.  What, you ask, weapon did Mr. Oulson use that made Reeves feel that his life was in danger?  A bag of popcorn.  That’s right … Reeves was harassing Mr. Oulson because Mr. Oulson, while on a date with…

Apple to increase Covid testing requirements for vaccinated retail staff | AppleInsider

Apple plans to start requiring its retail staff to test for Covid-19 twice a week, no matter their vaccination status, although the company is also easing its test verification policies. The plan was announced in a memo to U.S. Apple Store employees obtained by Bloomberg on Tuesday. In addition to the new minimum testing requirements, however, Apple is now allowing staff to independently verify their results. “Based on what we’ve learned from our testing pilot, everyone will now be required to self-test twice per week, regardless of vaccination status,” Apple told employees. “In addition, if you were submitting your test results for verification, you’re no longer required to do so.”

Happiness vs. Meaning, or Give Back to Community vs. Just You (mild depression trigger warning)…

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

Looking back on this post in March, 2022, I see that Toni Morrison’s advice was more apt:

If there’s a book that you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it,”

in her  1981 speech at the Ohio Arts Council.

  Do Better is that book, for me…

(Back to earlier post:)

Here is where I am in my reflections on previous year’s mental health states, and where to go this coming year, given the temptation to give up and find the nearest convent that will have me:  I will continue to look for meaning, rather than listening to what others insist ought to make me happy.  Looking back at previous years, I can at least see progress.

“…and just the other year, in 2016, my cousin expressed the similar belief that I’d been destroyed, writing me off as hopelessly depressed…

Anti-Russian, anti-war voices grow louder in China in backlash against party line — Radio Free Asia

More than 130 alumni of China’s most prestigious universities have condemned Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, calling on the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to honor a mutual security pact it signed with Kyiv in 1994.

“We strongly condemn Russian aggression against Ukraine and resolutely support the just struggle of the Ukrainian people to resist it, and defend their country,” said the statement, signed by graduates of disparate departments from journalism to physics at Peking, Tsinghua and Renmin universities.

It cited a joint security pact signed between China and Ukraine that commits Beijing to “providing security guarantees” to Ukraine, in the event that Ukraine was the subject of foreign aggression.
