I have a strong affinity for the sciences which led me to create my sites. My compulsion for the past decade has been reviewing literally every peer-reviewed research article. Which can easily be validated by following my posts. To me, science is where the real news is, as it will mold our destiny beyond that of politics or economics. ;-)

Maternal COVID-19 Vaccination and Its Potential Impact on Fetal and Neonatal Development -quote” however, errors were found in their analysis [10], and a follow-up re-analysis of the data revealed a cumulative incidence of spontaneous abortion of 7–8 times higher than the original author’s calculations”
Abstract Vaccines have been developed at “warp speed” to combat the COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. Although they are considered the best approach for preventing mortality, when assessing the safety of these vaccines, pregnant women have not been… Read More ›

Reinfection with SARS-CoV-2: outcome, risk factors and vaccine efficacy in a Scottish cohort Quote”he rate of detected reinfection after two doses of vaccine was 1.35 (95% CI 1.02 to 1.78) times higher in those vaccinated before first infection than in those unvaccinated at first infection. “
Abstract Background — The objective of this study was to investigate how protection against COVID-19 conferred by previous infection is modified by vaccination. Methods — In a cohort of all 152655 individuals in Scotland alive at 90 days after a… Read More ›

Immune imprinting and SARS-CoV-2 vaccine design- quote” This suggests that pre-existing crossreactive antibodies to Spike can limit new antibody responses to Spike from different viral strains (i.e., hCoVs and SARS-CoV-2); this is consistent with a potential problem of immune imprinting between ancestral and variant strains of SARS-CoV-2.
Reformulating severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccines with variant strains is being pursued to combat the global surge in infections. We hypothesize that this may be suboptimal due to immune imprinting from earlier vaccination or infection with the… Read More ›

We might not know half of what’s in our cells, new AI technique reveals
Most human diseases can be traced to malfunctioning parts of a cell — a tumor is able to grow because a gene wasn’t accurately translated into a particular protein or a metabolic disease arises because mitochondria aren’t firing properly, for… Read More ›
