CNN criticise FOX news anchors for not doing vax selfies.
The plan had been to ask users to upload logs of venue check-ins - carried out via poster barcode scans - if they tested positive for the virus. This could be used to warn others.
The update had been timed to coincide with the relaxation of lockdown rules.
But the two firms had explicitly banned such a function from the start.
Under the terms that all health authorities signed up to in order to use Apple and Google's privacy-centric contact-tracing tech, they had to agree not to collect any location data via the software.

"We have shown that the inhaled glucocorticoid budesonide, given for a short duration, might be an effective treatment of early COVID-19 in adults. This effect, with a relative reduction of 91% of clinical deterioration is *equivalent to the efficacy seen after the use of COVID-19 vaccines and greater than that reported in any treatments used in hospitalised patients and patients with severe COVID-19*".

"People who develop COVID have complete and durable immunity - a very important principle - complete and durable. You can't beat natural immunity. You can't vaccinate on top of it and make it better. There's no scientific, clinical or safety rationale for ever vaccinating a COVID recovered patient.
There's no rationale for ever testing a COVID recovered patient. My wife and I are COVID recovered. Why did we go through the testing outside? There's absolutely no rationale.
I'd encourage this committee to actually look at what's being done and ask, is there any rationale, is there any rationale for anything? Listen, there's plenty of COVID recovered patients. Let them forgo the vaccine and let people who are clamoring for it get it. But at 80% herd immunity in the vaccine trials, fewer than 1% in the vaccine and the placebo actually get COVID. Fewer than 1%. The vaccine is going to have a 1% public health impact. That's what the data says. It's not going to save us. We're already 80% herd immune. If we're strategically targeted, we can actually close out the pandemic very well with the vaccine, but strategically targeted.
People under 50, who fundamentally have no health risks. There's no scientific rationale for them to ever become vaccinated." - Peter McCullough, MD (Texas Senate HHS Committee Testimony)

US cardiologist makes false claims about Covid-19 vaccination
Video of a cardiologist claiming that there is no reason for healthy people under the age of 50 or those who have recovered from Covid-19 to be vaccinated against the virus has been viewed hundreds of thousands of times on social media. But medical experts…
Hi Oliver,
I was reading this AFP "fact check"
https://factcheck.afp.com/us-cardiologist-makes-false-claims-about-covid-19-vaccination
It states:
Olivier Schwartz, head of the Virus and Immunity Unit at the Pasteur Institute, told AFP by phone: “It is obvious that people under 50 who are in good health should be vaccinated” because they can still be affected by the disease.
I came across it in part because I've been trying to find someone qualified who can explain the reason/s to vaccinate everyone, and not just the vulnerable.
I've been struggling for weeks to find anyone. Everyone I've found has said we absolutely should not be vaccinating everyone. In fact I've been told that I won't find an infectious disease epidemiologist who will lend support to vaccinating everyone.
Some responses by scientists to my initial asking around almost two-weeks ago are here https://dryburgh.com/should-everyone-get-vaccinated/
I absolutely do not understand your statement to AFP. People under 50 in good health have negligible risk, comparable to that of influenza. The vaccines are novel (still under trial) and as such there is insufficient safety data to warrant their use on individuals who face negligible risk from the disease. The immediate side effects of the vaccine alone, are worse than a SARS-CoV-2 infection for many.
Furthermore the immunity conferred is narrow unlike natural immunity, and the vaccine could potentially lead to suboptimal innate immune response. See https://dryburgh.com/byram-bridle-coronavirus-vaccine-concerns/
From what I gather the complexity of the immune system is akin to the size of the universe and so far, we haven't even mapped out a galaxy. In this context I understand vaccines to be akin to a crow-bar, i.e. that caution and judgement should be used when considering such a blunt instrument.
I'd love to hear your thoughts. I promise not to quote you, i.e. to keep it private.
Regards
Lee

British coronavirus restrictions explained. Accurate.
Hi Bruno,
I was reading this AFP "fact check"
https://factcheck.afp.com/us-cardiologist-makes-false-claims-about-covid-19-vaccination
It quotes you as supporting mass vaccination, rather than just vaccination of the vulnerable, namely:
1) This would not be effective if only people over 50 years old received the vaccine. That is less than half the population, and “under these conditions, we will never slow down the circulation of the virus,” he said.
2) Lina also explained that if a vaccinated person does contract Covid-19, the amount of virus present compared to an unvaccinated person is “16 times less,” reducing the likelihood of transmission.
In terms of the first statement, of course it will slow, as ever more hosts acquire natural immunity. A fair proportion of the population was to all intents and purposes, had prior "immunity" owing to t-cell/cross-immunity for example. Herd immunity is reached with or without a vaccine clearly.
In terms of the second statement, yes although transmission was not a clinical endpoint of the vaccines i.e. not tested, it does appear and it would be logical that, transmission is blunted. Coarsely speaking, the sicker you are, the more likely you are to spread it, thus if the vaccine stops disease progression, it also reduces transmission. But the majority of those under 50 and healthy, don't get very sick at all.

For children SARS-CoV-2 is ~2.5x less risk than influenza. As you'll know, all medical treatments confer risk. Particularly an experimental one without longitudinal data. Plus naturally acquired immunity is superior to narrow immunity from a present vaccines, see https://dryburgh.com/byram-bridle-coronavirus-vaccine-concerns/ Thus I can't understand a vaccinate everyone policy. It would seem criminal in fact to be vaccinating children. I believe that you are both a Professor of virology, and a member of the Covid-19 Scientific Council to Emmanuel Macron. As such I was hoping to hear your thoughts. I promise not to quote you without your explicit permission.

I was going to put out "Peter McCullough, MD testifies to Texas Senate HHS Committee" today but for the past week I've been trying to take it easy/slow as I need some recovery time.
In addition I was slowed going through that "fact check". It's full of absolute garbage aside from those two scientists I wrote to, who may know something counter to what I've picked up so far.

Sorry Bruno, one more thing with
University of Lyon’s Lina confirmed that it is incorrect to claim that asymptomatic people can’t spread the virus.
He explained that asymptomatic people often have lower amounts of the virus so they may be less contagious, but “as this virus is very transmissible, in particular the British variant, there can be transmission from asymptomatic carriers.”
Yes of course asymptomatic people may spread the virus, however it's not that likely relative to symptomatic people. Asymptomatic people as Tony Fauci said have never been the core driver of a respiratory disease.

YouTube has banned the channel of Millat Times, an Indian news website, for posting a video showing workers protesting lockdown in the state of Maharashtra.
On April 9, Millat Times uploaded a video titled “People Continue Protest Against Lockdown, Gherai CM’s House.” The post showed clips of people protesting the newly enforced lockdown in Maharashtra outside the state’s Chief Minister’s residence.
Millat Times’ editor-in-chief, Shams Tabrez, said that the protesters were mostly daily wage workers who would lose their livelihood due to the lockdown.
“They were protesting near the Maharashtra chief minister’s residence and speaking about the issues that they will face in their life due to the lockdown,” Tabrez continued.
“They were scared, of course, we all know what happened to migrant workers during the nationwide lockdown [in 2020]. Whatever they said was presented as it is by us. It was their version, not fake news,” he added.
