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. ;-)

“Ultra-potent” antibody against COVID-19 variants isolated
A technology developed at Vanderbilt University Medical Center has led to the discovery of an “ultra-potent” monoclonal antibody against multiple variants of SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, including the delta variant. The antibody has rare characteristics that make it… Read More ›

Equivalency of Protection from Natural Immunity in COVID-19 Recovered Versus Fully Vaccinated Persons: A Systematic Review and Pooled Analysis
Quote” our review demonstrates that natural immunity in COVID-recovered individuals is, at least, equivalent to the protection afforded by full vaccination of COVID-naive populations. There is a modest and incremental relative benefit to vaccination in COVID-recovered individuals; however, the net… Read More ›

Computational systematics of nutritional support of vaccination against viral and bacterial pathogens as prolegomena to vaccinations against COVID-19
A total of 6,628 PUBMED-registered publications on the relationships between the effects of vaccination and the provision of micronutrients have been studied by methods of topological analysis of text data. In case of insufficient intake of certain micronutrients, the functioning… Read More ›

Prior Covid-19 and high RBD-IgG levels correlate with protection against VOC-delta SARS-CoV-2 infection in vaccinated Nursing Home Residents
Quote” Conclusions In contrary to residents with prior SARS-CoV-2 infection, those without a history of Covid-19 before two BNT162b2 doses are not protected against VOC-delta infection and their RBD-Ig-G levels are low 3 to 5 months after vaccination. This suggests… Read More ›
