That would not make sense. Ivermectin is used to kill parasites. How would that help someone suffering from a respiratory virus?

Well, whether it makes sense or not, it does seem to work, and it's inexpensive...

Covid cases fell last week in adults in their 20s and 30s as well as 10-19 year olds but rose in every other age group, Public Health England data shows as map reveals where outbreaks grew the quickest

Public Health England's weekly surveillance report showed infection rates, the number of positive tests for every 100,000 people, was highest among twenty-somethings. But the figure dropped by 11 per cent to 610.3 for the seven-day spell ending August 15. Case rates also fell among adults in their thirties (by 2.9 per cent, to 388.5) and 10-19 year olds (by 1.3 per cent, to 460.7). Figures rose in every other age group, with the biggest jump seen among adults in their seventies and eighties - the age groups most vulnerable to the virus.

Separate PHE statistics today revealed that Covid outbreaks grew in almost half of England's 149 local authorities. The Isle of Wight saw the biggest jump in cases (by 157.5 per cent, to 412.5), followed by Herefordshire (by 109.8 per cent, to 288.2) and Shropshire (by 49.1 per cent, to 315.3). Meanwhile, data showed rates fell the quickest in Middlesbrough, Bournemouth, Plymouth, Stockton-on-Tees and Sheffield.

AstraZeneca antibody therapy prevents COVID-19 in trial, company says

AstraZeneca released Phase 3 data showing promising results for a combination antibody therapy that prevents COVID-19, possibly opening the door to an alternative option for people who may not see the full protective benefits from the currently authorized vaccines. The PROVENT pre-exposure prophylaxis trial showed AZD7442 reduced the risk of developing symptomatic COVID-19 by up to 77% compared to a placebo.

The combination of two long-acting antibodies is, according to the company, the first modified to potentially provide long-lasting protection with demonstrated clinical trial success. Also of note, over 75% of the trial participants had comorbidities, including some associated with reduced vaccine effectiveness.

The trial, which included 5,197 participants, took place in multiple countries including the U.S. Data showed that the therapy was well tolerated and that there were no cases of severe COVID-19 or COVID-19-related death in participants who received the therapy. In the placebo arm, there were three cases of severe COVID-19 and two deaths. Overall the trial had 25 cases of symptomatic COVID-19.

"The PROVENT data show that one dose of AZD7442, delivered in a convenient intramuscular form, can quickly and effectively prevent symptomatic COVID-19," Myron J. Levin, MD, professor of pediatrics and medicine at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, said in a news release. "With these exciting results, AZD7442 could be an important tool in our arsenal to help people who may need more than a vaccine to return to their normal lives."

AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine has not yet been authorized in the U.S., but has been rolled out elsewhere in the world.

Why hasn't this vaccine been approved for use in the US?...

At least 158 people on Martha's Vineyard have tested positive for COVID since Obama's maskless 60th birthday bash - the most since the pandemic began



Martha's Vineyard Hospital is bearing the brunt of a recent Covid-19 spike with the 'highest virus patient activity' it has faced since the start of the pandemic, two weeks after President Barack Obama's 60th birthday celebration on the island. The number of new Covid cases on the Vineyard has surged to 158 since the August 7 bash, with 87 new infections reported last week and another 71 confirmed this week as of Friday afternoon, DailyMail.com has learned. Three patients are currently hospitalized with the virus, while a fourth is reported to be experiencing symptoms, and a fifth was airlifted to Boston in critical condition, the Vineyard Gazette reported Wednesday. Of the four patients on the island, only one is said to be in serious condition, chief nurse and head of hospital operations Clair Seguin said in a press conference. The hospitalizations mark the 'highest amount of Covid-positive patient activity we've had since the onset of the pandemic,' the health official added.

In our state 19% of the people being treated for the Delta variant have been vaccinated. I am still curious why we don't get a breakdown of what vaccine they got and whether there is a difference between the two mRna vaccines and J&J.

All the reports I've read sum up that the Johnson & Johnson vaccine is 72 percent effective against the Delta and the mRNA of Pfizer is about 46 percent effective and Moderna is about 60 percent...So I think its pharmaceutical politics, they've been promoting the mRNA vaccines over J&J and even made J&J look bad in the beginning, now the mRNA vaccines are not doing so good...

I wonder how many people will feel the urge to take a second shot for the Delta variant. It is hard enough to get some people to get the first shots. I know I would hesitate to get additional shots. This whole rollout has been a cluster**** in my opinion.

I'm placing this here because I think this is the best place for this post. Today we had a man come to work or with a petition. He wanted us to sign for a constitutional amendment to prohibit any law making organization from passing legislation that mandated the wearing of an article of clothing. I asked him "such as a mask?" He said "especially a mask." He went into a very long-winded obviously prepared speech that stated that our liberties and freedoms were being stomped on by anyone who mandated the wearing of a mask. He ended his speech with the words "and they're trampling on the Constitution."
I asked him if he wasn't wearing a mask and I had covid and he caught covid and he was in the hospital about to die what would he think?
his response was" then I would die free as a free American as a man who believes in law and liberty would you like to sign?
I told him no. I respected his opinion I respected his decision not to wear a mask but for me and mine I will keep my family safe.
His response was you drink the Kool-Aid have have fun when the New world order comes comes to your door."
I'm always shocked that a simple measure to keep us safe is made a tool of "the new world order."

I wish I had a dollar for every article I have read on the internet from people bashing the wearing of masks and getting the Covid shots. To a person, these people are on their deathbeds crying out how they made a big mistake refusing the vaccine shots. I guess they got their wish. They got to die free.

That is crazy, we are already required to wear articles of clothing in public, except in some weird circumstances (like Seattle's [or is it Portland?] nude bike race), so what is wrong with that guy. There are nudity laws and they are not against the constitution, nothing in the constitution prohibits those kinds of laws AND the mask is a public safety item, not an article of clothing.

Can you point me to some of those reports? My daughter and I have been talking about this and we agree that the information that is out there is biased towards what ever the provider of the information wants us to believe or act on. I did a search on Duck Duck go and I did not find any reliable information. I assume that when people show up at the hospital or doctor's office with a positive covid test that have been vaccinated that someone is logging which vaccine they got. But is there one database that is keeping track of that? It seems like WHO or CDC would be the ones to have that database, but I am not sure I trust the data being released from the WHO.

Here's some of the more recent reports and/or studies I've read, I'll find some others I read previously too, I didn't bookmark them...All of the vaccines are highly effective at preventing death and for the most part hospitalization, the differences come in when preventing the initial infection from setting in...

DeSantis, Abbott school mask rules in line with many foreign countries

(Excerpts)

The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, an agency of the European Union, does not recommend masks for children 6 and under in any setting or for children 12 and under in a classroom setting.

In the Republic of Ireland, children ages 13 and younger are only advised to wear a mask if they attend middle school.

In Sweden, children have never been told to wear masks in school.

In Iceland, children ages 15 and younger are exempt from mask requirements. In Norway, schoolchildren 7 and younger are not required to wear masks.

When it comes to the U.K., which is reporting a similar COVID-19 surge as the U.S., public health officials in England and Wales are no longer recommending masks in classrooms starting this September.

In Scotland, children 12 and under are no longer required to wear face coverings in public places. And officials in Northern Ireland have indicated they plan to drop masking requirements in schools this fall.

In New Zealand, masks are not recommended in schools or for children younger than 6 in any public setting, but children or teachers who wish to wear them "may do so if they want to" and "should not be criticized for doing so," the country’s Ministry for Education website currently states.

I don't trust either one of them, both organizations have shown to be politically motivated...I try to find studies or reports that are independent of those two and studies or reports outside the US so they aren't influenced by political motives or corporate pharmaceutical influence...There isn't much out there for the public to grasp onto, but sorting and separating the wheat and chaff it seems clear to me that the mRNA vaccines aren't doing as well as they hoped, hence the booster recommendations...I would bet that in six months to a year from now they will be talking about another booster...

I also would be very surprised if Johnson & Johnson recommends a booster in the coming days release and recommendations from them...If they do say we need a booster I think it will be because of arm twisting to get them to comply so that the mRNA vaccines don't look so bad off...In other words forcing J&J to comply with a booster requirement so it looks as if all the vaccines aren't holding up so well instead of just the mRNA...
