States are sitting on millions of surplus Covid-19 vaccine doses as expiration dates approach
doses likely expire this summer
Several state health departments told STAT they have repeatedly asked the federal government to redistribute their supply to other countries, many of which are facing a third wave of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Officials in Washington have rejected those requests, citing legal and logistical challenges.
“We’re drowning in this stuff,”
“It’s starting to get a bit silly and we want to make sure we’re being good stewards.”
Currently, states have administered 52.36 million fewer doses than have been distributed to them,
even a conservative estimate suggests at least half is likely excess vaccine,
That would leave 26.2 million unused doses at the state level —
enough to protect at least 13.1 million people.

Roundup of nasal vaccine efforts
Our mucosal immune cells make a special class of antibodies that are constantly secreted from the mucous membranes to protect the nose, gut, and other vulnerable sites from pathogens we’ve seen in the past. “But if you don’t stimulate the immune system in the mucosae, you don’t obtain mucosal immune responses,” says Pierre Charneau, head of the Molecular Virology and Vaccinology Unit at the Pasteur Institute.
Yet most research on SARS-CoV-2 and our immune systems has overlooked mucosal immunity in favor of the easier-to-study systemic immunity.

more time between vaccines may enhance their effectiveness.
The University of Oxford-led study might help inform vaccination strategies against the Delta variant, which reduces the effectiveness of a first dose of the vaccine even though two doses are still protective, and one author said that the UK’s eight-week gap was a “sweet spot” against Delta.

Ivermectin Shows Us the Consequences of Politicized Science
Ivermectin is the new hydroxychloroquine.
Acontingent of Americans has embraced the anti-parasite drug ivermectin (https://finance.yahoo.com/news/column-ivermectin-another-bogus-covid-130504738.html) as a miracle cure for COVID-19 despite warnings from the American scientific community that little to no evidence exists of its efficacy. :lol
At the same time, many Americans have rejected the COVID-19 vaccines in spite of enormous evidence supporting their efficacy. :lol
The persistent trust in ivermectin and hesitancy to take a widely-proven vaccine is
a logical consequence of rejecting American institutions,
and a consequence exacerbated by those who have politicized science.At best, the Egyptian study was poorly performed and partially plagiarized;
at worst, the data were outright fraudulent (https://steamtraen.blogspot.com/2021/07/Some-problems-with-the-data-from-a-Covid-study.html).
The study had faced substantial criticism since its release, and was recently retracted (https://www.theguardian.com/science/2021/jul/16/huge-study-supporting-ivermectin-as-covid-treatment-withdrawn-over-ethical-concerns) :lol
by the preprint website where it was published.
minimal evidence supports its use over any random medication in your home medicine cabinet in the fight against COVID-19.

it's worth pointing out that Israel got access to the Pfizer vaccine a bit sooner than the rest of the world, but also that the Pfizer vaccine is being studied nationwide in real time.
A full course of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine was just 39% effective at preventing infections and 41% effective at preventing symptomatic infections caused by the Delta Covid-19 variant, according (https://www.gov.il/BlobFolder/reports/vaccine-efficacy-safety-follow-up-committee/he/files_publications_corona_two-dose-vaccination-data.pdf) to Israel’s health ministry, down from early estimates (https://www.forbes.com/sites/roberthart/2021/07/06/pfizer-shot-much-less-effective-against-delta-israel-study-shows---heres-what-you-need-to-know-about-variants-and-vaccines/?sh=474bbb830712) of 64% two weeks ago.
The figures, based on data from an unspecified number of people between June 20 and July 17, are significantly lower than previous estimates of the vaccine’s efficacy against other variants, which initial clinical trials found (https://www.forbes.com/sites/roberthart/2020/11/18/pfizer-biontech-says-covid-19-vaccine-is-95-effective-will-seek-emergency-approval-within-days/?sh=743ea983441f) to be 95%.
The Israel findings also conflict with several other studies (https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.06.28.21259420v1.full.pdf) assessing (https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2108891) the vaccine’s (https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(21)01358-1/fulltext) performance against the Delta variant, which indicated only slightly diminished degrees of protection against infection and mild illness (between 80% and 90%), including peer reviewed research (https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2108891) from Public Health England published Wednesday.
The vaccine still provides very high levels of protection against hospitalization (92%) and severe illness (91%) caused by the Delta variant, the ministry said.
In a statement (https://cdn.pfizer.com/pfizercom/2021-07/Delta_Variant_Study_Press_Statement_Final_7.8.21.p df?IPpR1xZjlwvaUMQ9sRn2FkePcBiRPGqw), Pfizer and BioNTech noted that while real-world data from Israel show vaccine efficacy in preventing infection and symptomatic disease to decline six months post-vaccination, “efficacy in preventing serious illnesses remains high.”

gargling is cheap and easy to do
One underexplored strategy to better control transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in schools may involve the use of a dilute oral antiseptic gargle or oral rinse. Similar to the two-way protection afforded by masks, treating the mouth with a safe, effective dilute antiseptic can better protect students by reducing spread (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33747261/) and preventing infection (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7836691/). The idea is simple. If a child is asymptomatically infected and shedding virus, a before- and after-school oral treatment can potentially diminish the quantity or quality of active virus entering infectious droplets/aerosols making them less infectious. On the other hand, if a child is healthy but exposed to the virus, the treatment might provide (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7453452/) prophylaxis against or at least mitigate infection.https://www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/second-opinions/93731?vpass=1

If it contains enough alcohol it would work the same way hand sanitizers do, it would only work on virus particles in the mouth at the time of the gargle though. Its not like you stop shedding virus in between oral treatments though.

Viruses are notoriously difficult with therapeutics although we are getting much better.
One major problem is that viral genetic material is injected into YOUR cells making them very difficult to stop completely. So their genetic material can basically hide and wait.
We can get them when they are outside of the cell, but inside is very difficult. The great thing about vaccines is they have a much longer time line of effectiveness. Your body will constantly make cells and antibodies made by cells that attack the virus in multiple stages, even getting at your own cells that are going to "unload" transmissible viral particles by scanning the surface of your own cells and then killing those SPECIFIC cells.
Of course we keep looking for therapeutics, but its a much more difficult problem, look at AIDS, it took a good while to get the therapeutics and antivirals correct and even then I would rather have COVID. No vaccine for AIDS. A huge pain in the ass. You would rather have your own "known" familiar system taking care of things rather than putting weird organic molecules in your body that your body might say, "this is not familiar" fk this thing.

Yeah I posted about this, but it did not seem to be impressive.
Viruses to a fantastic job of piggy backing and replicating their own genetic material.
Here is where a reading of the gist of the "Selfish Gene" by Richard Dawkins is valuable.
He basically called it on what actually might be the fundamental level of selection in natural selection. He also got a lot of things wrong and has basically gone out of his mind imo. But this book is astounding insight because it was written BEFORE we sequenced the human genome and found out about all this strange DNA. And it just keeps getting stranger the further we look into it. Amazing stuff and an amazing read.

Oligopolistic DISASTER CAPITALISM at its finest
Insulated From Patent Waivers, Pfizer and Moderna Hike Vaccine Prices
In its new supply contract with the E.U.,
Pfizer named a price of more than $23 per dose, up nearly 25% from about $18 on earlier purchases.
Moderna said in its latest agreement that its mRNA vaccine will cost one-tenth more than its previous price, charging $25.50 per dose.
0.3% of doses have been administered in low-income countries,
leading public health experts to warn that Covid-19 will continue to mutate and dangerous,
highly infectious variants like Delta will continue to emerge and spread throughout the world.
The companies are raising their prices "just in time for the Delta variant,"
Pfizer and Moderna used the "usual pharma rhetoric" in discussing the price hikes.
"Vaccines work so they increased the 'value,'"
Pfizer's sales are now expected to reach $56 billion and
Moderna's are expected to reach $30 billion.
"Our governments are complicit in this heist by pharma and companies across the board in other sectors,"
https://www.commondreams.org/news/2021/08/02/insulated-patent-waivers-pfizer-and-moderna-hike-vaccine-prices
Pfizer exec said they will later be charging $150 - $200 / dose, their habitual price for vaccine

It might make things worse because right now the antivaxxers are spreading a lie that the vaccines are experimental because of the EUA. Instead they will be telling the truth that the FDA rushed full approval. No way they can thoroughly complete all the tedious steps required for full approval by next month without cutting corners.

Flu Shot Protects Against Severe Effects Of COVID-19
the flu vaccine may provide vital protection against COVID-19.
the annual flu shot reduces the risks of stroke, sepsis, and DVT in patients with COVID-19.
Patients with COVID-19 who had been vaccinated against the flu were also significantly less likely to visit the emergency department and be admitted to the intensive care unit.
my team has been able to observe an association between the flu vaccine and reduced morbidity in COVID-19 patients.”
The analysis revealed that those who had not had the flu shot were significantly more likely (up to 20% more likely) to have been admitted to the ICU.
They were also significantly more likely to visit the emergency department (up to 58% more likely),
to develop sepsis (up to 45% more likely),
to have a stroke (up to 58% more likely) and
a DVT (up to 40% more likely).
The risk of death was not reduced.

Novavax does deal with EU, vaccine not yet approved:
A total of 15,187 participants underwent randomization, and 14,039 were included in the per-protocol efficacy population. Of the participants, 27.9% were 65 years of age or older, and 44.6% had coexisting illnesses. Infections were reported in 10 participants in the vaccine group and in 96 in the placebo group, with a symptom onset of at least 7 days after the second injection, for a vaccine efficacy of 89.7% (95% confidence interval [CI], 80.2 to 94.6). No hospitalizations or deaths were reported among the 10 cases in the vaccine group. Five cases of severe infection were reported, all of which were in the placebo group. A post hoc analysis showed an efficacy of 86.3% (95% CI, 71.3 to 93.5) against the B.1.1.7 (or alpha) variant and 96.4% (95% CI, 73.8 to 99.5) against non-B.1.1.7 variants. Reactogenicity was generally mild and transient. The incidence of serious adverse events was low and similar in the two groups.
https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2107659
The Novavax COVID-19 vaccine contains a protein (made using moth cells) plus an adjuvant (made from tree bark). An adjuvant is an ingredient added to boost a person's immune response, creating higher levels of antibodies.
The Novavax vaccine uses a telltale piece of the coronavirus: the notorious spike protein. All alone, the spike protein is harmless and can't cause COVID-19. When your immune system encounters the lonely spike protein, it produces antibodies against it. This gives you protection against future COVID-19 infection.
"Unlike mRNA vaccines, the spike protein is already premade in the Novavax vaccine. It's a shortcut," explains Dr. Florescu. "All the synthesis happens outside the body and we just give the end product: the spike protein."
Like other COVID-19 vaccines, Novavax does not cause COVID-19 infection. It can't get you sick. This vaccine doesn't contain either live or inactivated virus.
How did they get the spike protein?
The Novavax method uses moth cells to make spike proteins:
Researchers select the desired genes that create certain SARS-CoV-2 antigens (spike protein).
Researchers put the genes into a baculovirus, an insect virus.
The baculovirus infects moth cells and replicates inside them.
These moth cells create lots of spike proteins.
Researchers extract and purify the spike proteins.
"The Novavax vaccine has no genetic material, only proteins," says Dr. Florescu. "The vaccine technology is more traditional, and it's very similar to a protein-based influenza vaccine."
Influenza vaccines have also used this moth cell factory method (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7150248/).
What does the adjuvant (soapbark tree extract) do?
Adjuvants increase the immune response to a vaccine. In this vaccine, soapbark tree extract adjuvant makes achieving immunity possible with a smaller dose of the spike protein.
Matrix-M is the adjuvant used by Novavax. It is based on a saponin extracted from the soapbark tree (Quillaja saponaria). The soapbark extract encourages immune cells to activate, generating a more potent immune response.
Saponins are found naturally in various plant species like beans and green peas. They're used in agriculture, animal feeds, veterinary vaccines and human food. Saponins can boost immune responses to proteins. Using the Matrix-M adjuvant, a smaller dose of spike protein achieves the desired immune response.

I think Fauci is a very good virologist and a very good scientist but he is old.
He is not a politician, so he is not a confident liar. Im glad he is a PART of the team.
You think Fauci flounders... and is not confident.
You laugh at his work on AIDS for... I just have no ideas... ok done.

According to the article, Codagenix and Astro-Zeneca look to be able to bring their intranasal vaccines to market soonest, if proven effecive and safe. The linked piece is another roundup and has clear explanations. The intuitive appeal of intranasal vaccines is the possibility they can stimulate both mucosal and systemic immunity.
Charneau and a group of scientists in Paris have shown that natural SARS-CoV-2 infections trigger both systemic and mucosal immunity (https://stm.sciencemag.org/content/13/577/eabd2223). But our current crop of COVID-19 vaccines offer only systemic protection.

Historian Michael Willrich was planning to write a book about civil liberties in the aftermath of Sept. 11 when he stumbled across an article from The New York Times archives. It was about a 1901 smallpox vaccination raid in New York — when 250 men arrived at a Little Italy tenement house in the middle of the night and set about vaccinating everyone they could find.
"There were scenes of policemen holding down men in their night robes while vaccinators began their work on their arms," Willrich tells Fresh Air's Terry Gross. "Inspectors were going room to room looking for children with smallpox. And when they found them, they were literally tearing babes from their mothers' arms to take them to the city pesthouse [which housed smallpox victims.]"
The vaccination raid was not an isolated incident. As the smallpox epidemic swept across the country, New York and Boston policemen conducted several raids and health officials across the country ordered mandatory vaccinations in schools, factories and on railroads. In Pox: An American History, Willrich details how the smallpox epidemic of 1898-1904 had far-reaching implications for public health officials — as well as Americans concerned about their own civil liberties.
"110 years ago, vaccination was compelled by the state," he says. "But there no effort taken by the government to ensure that vaccines on the market were safe and effective. We live in a very different environment today where there are extensive regulations governing the entire vaccine industry."

(This is all just another tough lesson in which we will lose more prosperity and make people poorer as a nation because we are a democracy that will allow disinformation to travel. And we clearly have a significant portion of the population who just dont understand the immune system and viruses. Maybe Texas could put this is for Biology in the curriculum. Maybe Governor Abbott would work on the teaching of how to take care of your body and others at the same time... nope... He does not even want the amendments to the constitution taught. I wonder what would happen if he decided to get rid of the teaching of the 2nd amendment.)

COVID: 90% of patients treated with new Israeli drug discharged in 5 days
The Phase II trial for an Israeli COVID drug saw some 29 out of 30 patients, moderate to serious, recover within days.
Some 93% of 90 coronavirus serious patients treated in several Greek hospitals with a new drug developed by a team at Tel Aviv’s Sourasky Medical Center as part of the Phase II trial of the treatment were discharged in five days or fewer.
The Phase II trial confirmed the results of Phase I, which was conducted in Israel last winter and saw 29 out of 30 patients in moderate to serious condition recover within days.
“The main goal of this study was to verify that the drug is safe,” Prof. Nadir Arber said. “To this day we have not registered any significant side effect in any patient from both groups.”
The trial was conducted in Athens because Israel did not have enough relevant patients. The principal investigator was Greece’s coronavirus commissioner, Prof. Sotiris Tsiodras.
Arber and his team, including Dr. Shiran Shapira, developed the drug based on a molecule that the professor has been studying for 25 years called CD24, which is naturally present in the body.
“It is important to remember that 19 out of 20 COVID-19 patients do not need any therapy,” Arber said. “After a window of five to 12 days, some 5% of the patients start to deteriorate.”
The main cause of the clinical deterioration is an over activation of the immune system, also known as a cytokine storm. In case of COVID-19 patients, the system starts attacking healthy cells in the lungs.
“This is exactly the problem that our drug targets,” he said.
CD24 is a small protein that is anchored to the membrane of the cells and it serves many functions including regulating the mechanism responsible for the cytokine storm.
Arber stressed that their treatment, EXO-CD24, does not affect the immune system as a whole, but only targets this specific mechanism, helping find again its correct balance.
“This is precision medicine,” he said. “We are very happy that we have found a tool to tackle the physiology of the disease.”
“Steroids for example shut down the entire immune system,” he further explained. “We are balancing the part responsible for the cytokine storms using the endogenous mechanism of the body, meaning tools offered by the body itself.”
Arber noted that another breakthrough element of this treatment is its delivery.
“We are employing exosomes, very small vesicles derived from the membrane of the cells which are responsible for the exchange of information between them,” he said.
“By managing to deliver them exactly where they are needed, we avoid many side effects,” he added.
The team is now ready to launch the last phase of the study.
“As promising as the findings of the first phases of a treatment can be, no one can be sure of anything until results are compared to the ones of patients who receive a placebo,” he said.
Some 155 coronavirus patients will take part in the study. Two-thirds of them will be administered the drug, and one-third a placebo.
The study will be conducted in Israel and it might be also carried out in other places if the number of patients in the country will not suffice.
“We hope to complete it by the end of the year,” Arber said.
If the results are confirmed, he vowed that the treatment can be made available relatively quickly and at a low cost.
“In addition, a success could pave the wave to treat many other diseases,” he concluded.

08-09-2021, 08:37 AM
More robust testing/tracing could possibly illuminate, but we still don't have that in the US. People who were vaccinated early are older and have less robust immune systems to begin with.
Could be that the short term hospitalization picture is driven by the combination of contagiousness and the large number of unimmunized, or that the data is too noisy to draw good inferences therefrom. Topol's characterization of the severity of breakthrough infections certainly seems more anecdotal than well-considered. I wonder why Dr. Topol sat for this interview to vent worry about vaccine immunity. Seems careless or irresponsible if not backed up by something.
OTOH, what is science if not the art of drawing adequate conclusions from inadequate data? If waning vacccine immunity is just a hunch on Dr. Topol's part, that doesn't mean he's wrong. It's bothersome to me that he has climbed out onto this limb publicly after doing so much to boost vaccination.

Dr. Topol:
Just looking at the U.K. and Israel, which had been our guideposts, I thought we would keep the hospitalizations pretty darn low — maybe a fourth of where we’d been in prior waves. And deaths 10 percent of prior waves. But we’re not doing that at all. If you look at the log charts of the U.S. and the U.K, you’re starting to see some real separation for death. It’s certainly going in the wrong direction, and it had been tracking incredibly closely, until recently.

1.7 billion vaccine (Sinopharm) vaccine doses and the most aggressive/repressive public health regime in the world aren't doing the trick in the PRC.
Should be pointed out the national tolerance for COVID there is much lower than here, the reported nationwide confirmed cases seem to be in the low four digits.
The outbreak has spread to 17 provinces, after the highly transmissible Delta variant (https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3142617/why-delta-coronavirus-variant-faster-make-people-sick) was detected among airport staff in Nanjing on July 20, creating the country’s biggest challenge since the epidemic was largely contained last year.
The surge in new cases has triggered mass testing, lockdowns and travel restrictions, and officials have been removed from positions and punished over Covid-19 failures.
Beijing has also tightened travel restrictions (https://www.scmp.com/news/china/politics/article/3144234/coronavirus-beijing-tightens-travel-restrictions-keep-delta)for its citizens as part of efforts to contain the infection.
There are now 216 areas designated as high or medium risk in mainland China, the highest number since the epidemic control became “normalised” last year.https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3144336/coronavirus-china-tests-tens-millions-second-wave-virus-hits-17

I think the Topol interview is squishy as hell and probably irresponsible. I'm mainly wondering why he did it. Topol's been super gung-ho on vaccination and is the VP of research at Scripps. Maybe it's institutional jiu-jitsu. He's also been griping about the poor quality of data from the CDC. Maybe he's trying to inspire the CDC to disprove it with better information.

‘Goldilocks virus’:
Delta vanquishes all variant rivals as scientists race to understand its tricks
As recently as May 8, delta caused only about 1 percent of new infections nationally.
Today, it has nearly wiped out all of its rivals.
The coronavirus (https://www.washingtonpost.com/coronavirus/?itid=lk_inline_manual_7) pandemic in America has become a delta pandemic. By the end of July, it accounted for 93.4 percent of new infections,
The speed with which it dominated the pandemic has left scientists nervous about what the virus will do next.
The variant battles of 2021 are part of a longer war, one that is far from over.
Delta is sending thousands of people into hospitals every day and has knocked the Biden administration back on its heels.
In a few short weeks, the delta variant changed the calculations for what it will take to end the pandemic (https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/in-this-summer-of-covid-freedom-disease-experts-warn-the-world-needs-a-reality-check/2021/07/17/895be6e8-e58c-11eb-b722-89ea0dde7771_story.html?itid=lk_inline_manual_10).
the target may be impossible to reach anytime soon given the hardened vaccine resistance in a sizable fraction of the country,
the fact that children under 12 remain ineligible and the persistent circulation of disinformation about vaccines and the pandemic.

Vaccine-resistant coronavirus 'mutants' are more likely when transmission is high, new model finds
more likely to emerge when a large fraction of the population is vaccinated and
viral transmission is high,
and no steps are taken to stop the spread,
a situation that looks a lot like the current one in the U.S.

the mutations could happen here, but more probable in, eg, South Asia and Africa

We should not dismiss the possibility of eradicating COVID-19: comparisons with smallpox and polio (https://gh.bmj.com/content/6/8/e006810)
(https://gh.bmj.com/content/6/8/e006810)
Is COVID-19 also potentially eradicable? Or is it inevitably endemic having established itself across the world? Commentators have focused on the challenges of reaching population (herd) immunity,7 (https://gh.bmj.com/content/6/8/e006810#ref-7) yet population immunity is not essential and was not achieved for smallpox, which was eradicated through ring vaccination.
As proof of concept for COVID-19 eradication, several countries and jurisdictions have achieved elimination without vaccination, using new and established public health and social measures (PHSMs) (eg, border control, physical distancing, mask wearing, testing and contact tracing supported by genome sequencing).8 (https://gh.bmj.com/content/6/8/e006810#ref-8) Successful jurisdictions have included those with vast land borders such as China, high population densities such as Hong Kong,9 (https://gh.bmj.com/content/6/8/e006810#ref-9) but also island nations such as Iceland and New Zealand, although with occasional outbreaks from border control failures that have been brought under control.10 (https://gh.bmj.com/content/6/8/e006810#ref-10)

Since we don't live in a model, the authors instead recommend that people maintain measures like masking and distancing "for a reasonable period of time," even once the proportion of people vaccinated nears the herd immunity threshold, they wrote in their report. This would help drive resistant strains to extinction before they spread too far.

Israel to expand use of COVID drug that gets 88% of patients out of hospital
The Health Ministry has approved the expanded use of an innovative COVID-19 treatment that helped 14 out of 16 severe patients who took it to be released from the hospital one day after receiving their final dose.
The drug, MesenCure, has been being tested by Rambam Medical Center as part of a Phase I/II trial. The ministry has approved allowing any Israeli hospital interested to take part in the Phase II trial and to use the drug (https://www.jpost.com/health-science/covid-90-percent-of-patients-treated-with-new-israeli-drug-discharged-in-5-days-675961) for additional approved patients.
The goal of the expanded trial, which will include a minimum of 50 patients, is to confirm the safety and efficacy of the drug, which was developed by Bonus BioGroup.
