    Breaking news in the Washington Post:


    WHO calls for moratorium on booster shots of coronavirus vaccine through September, citing global disparity

    “WHO officials said Wednesday that a moratorium is necessary while poorer countries struggle to access resources even for high-risk populations such as health-care workers and the elderly.”



    Is it possible for countries to look beyond their own borders and remember that we are One World?

    In Utopia, yes.

    The very rare blood clots that can be caused by the Oxford-AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine are more aggressive and deadly than other thrombosis conditions, leading scientists say. The first study of its kind has examined vaccine-induced immune thrombocytopenia and thrombosis (Vitt), which researchers said affected about one in 50,000 recipients under 50.

    “A researcher who struggled to find funding for decades but whose work is at the heart of the coronavirus vaccines produced by Pfizer and Moderna has won science's most valuable prize. Katalin Kariko, a Hungarian biochemist, was awarded the Breakthrough prize in life sciences. During an academic career spent largely in American universities, the 66-year-old had never earned more than about £45,000 a year — but her work with RNA, a genetic material, has been crucial to the two vaccines. She won $1.5 million.”

    “Police raided homes in Milan, Rome, Venice and other cities and searched the computers of eight people suspected of planning violence during protests against the coronavirus passport scheme. The suspects are members of "the Warriors", a group on the secure messaging app Telegram, on which the use of weapons and DIY explosives at "No green pass" demonstrations had been discussed, the police said.”

    In the UK:


    “Schools are being duped into sending parents a fake vaccine "consent form", which claims that the jabs will kill up to one in 3,000 children. Parents have reported receiving the form, which also repeats the myth that vaccines can cause infertility, after it was sent to head teachers from an apparently official NHS address.


    “Dr Jonathan Leach, NHS England's medical director for Covid immunisation, said that the letter was not sent by the health authorities, despite the use of the NHS logo. "Just to confirm: this is not a legitimate NHS form," he said. It asked parents to sign to say they gave "informed consent to receive an experimental Covid-19 vaccine, for which the long-term effects are unknown".

    The schools “are being duped.”  But by whom?  Were big packages of these letters dropped off by an anti-vaxxer network, to every school in the country, with instructions to send them to every parent?    Shouldn’t it would be easy to find the perpetrators?

    YouTube is banning prominent anti-vaccine activists and blocking all anti-vaccine content

    • “YouTube will ban any videos that claim that commonly used vaccines approved by health authorities are ineffective or dangerous. The company previously blocked videos that made those claims about coronavirus vaccines, but not ones for other vaccines like those for measles or chickenpox.”
    • “YouTube didn’t act sooner because it was focusing on misinformation specifically about coronavirus vaccines, said Matt Halprin, YouTube’s vice president of global trust and safety. When it noticed that incorrect claims about other vaccines were contributing to fears about the coronavirus vaccines, it expanded the ban.”

    Covax vaccine-sharing initiative is racing to deliver less than half of its 2021 goal of distributing 2 billion doses by year’s end

    Covax, which aimed to help low- and middle-income countries, is now aiming to have delivered 800 million doses by the end of 2021, but officials say even that lower target is not guaranteed. A slow pace of supply from manufacturers, vaccine hoarding by wealthy nations and logistical problems in recipient countries have all lowered its ambitions.
