Could Vaccinations Be Causing Rise in Infections?

2021-08-05T04:27:00.000+01:00

"There is also a third possible problem which was raised by French virologist and Nobel laureate Luc Montagnier, MD in May 2021. In an interview with Pierre Barnérias of Hold-Up Media, Dr. Montagnier said he believed that the mass vaccination programs for COVID may actually be causing SARS-CoV-2 mutations like the Delta variant and, thus, prolonging the pandemic^"

A recent study published by King's College in London, which operates the ZOE COVID Study app to monitor COVID infection and vaccination rates, found that, as of July 15, 2021, there was an average of 15,537 new daily symptomatic cases of COVID-19 among partly or fully vaccinated people in the United Kingdom—an increase of 40 percent from the previous week's total of 11,084 new cases.^1,²

Infections in Vaccinated People in U.K. Are Outpacing Infections in the Unvaccinated

The Zoe COVID Study, led by epidemiologist Tim Spector, MD, of Kings College in London, estimated that there were 17,581 new daily symptomatic cases of COVID-19 in unvaccinated people, or 22 percent less than the previous week's total of 22,638 new cases.

According to a press release issued by the study's authors, "With cases in the vaccinated group continuing to rise, the number of new cases in the vaccinated population is set to overtake the unvaccinated in the coming days."^3,⁴

On July 17, the U.K.'s Health Secretary, Sajid Javid, announced he had tested positive for the SARS-CoV-2 virus despite having received two doses of the AstraZeneca/Oxford University's experimental AZD1222 COVID vaccine on Mar. 17 and May 16.⁵ In a message posted on Twitter, Javid wrote:

"This morning I tested positive for COVID. I'm waiting for my PCR result, but thankfully I have had my jabs and symptoms are mild."⁶

With a population of more than 66 million people, two-thirds of adults in the U.K. have received COVID-19 vaccine, representing a total of 82,592,996 vaccinations as of July 20. Some 46,349,709 Britons have received the first dose and 36,243,287 have gotten the second dose. The country is not vaccinating children.⁷

The U.K. is among the most highly vaccinated countries in the world, but it is experiencing a third wave of coronavirus infections reportedly largely due to the spread of the Delta variant of the virus.^8,⁹ Other highly vaccinated countries like Israel are also experiencing a new wave of coronavirus infections due to the Delta variant.

Most Infections in Israel Are Among Vaccinated People

In Israel, about 60 percent of the country's population of 9.3 million has received at least one dose of a COVID vaccine. About 85 percent of adults in Israel have been vaccinated. Yet most of the new coronavirus infections are occurring in vaccinated people.¹⁰

In early-July, former Health Minister Chezy Levy, MD confirmed that "55 percent of the newly infected [people in Israel] had been vaccinated."¹¹

There has also been a concerning rise in the number of vaccinated people in Israel being hospitalized. An article in The Jerusalem Post last week noted that the Israeli Health Ministry reported 124 people had been hospitalized for COVID-19 on July 20 and that 65 percent of them were fully vaccinated. Of the 124 people, 62 were in serious condition and 70% of those patients were fully vaccinated.¹²

Earlier this month, the Health Ministry estimated that the Pfizer/BioNTech's BNT162b2 COVID biologic was only 64 percent effective in preventing symptomatic infections of COVID-19, specifically those caused by the Delta variant. But the effectiveness rate for Pfizer's experimental COVID vaccine in preventing infection (and transmission) could be lower.¹³

"We do not know exactly to what degree the vaccine helps, but it is significantly less," said Israel's Prime Minister Naftali Bennett.¹⁴

Infections in Chile, Seychelles and Mongolia Mostly in Vaccinated People

Another example of a highly vaccinated country which has been experiencing a new outbreak of coronavirus infections mostly among its vaccinated population is Chile. Of the thousands of new coronavirus cases being reported daily in that country, 80 percent of them are in vaccinated people. Chile has fully vaccinated 55 percent of its population.¹⁵

The examples of the U.K., Israel and Chile, as well as other highly vaccinated countries like the Seychelles and Mongolia experiencing coronavirus infections mostly within the vaccinated segments of their populations pose a dilemma.¹⁶ The governments of these countries have to decide if the problem is that not enough of their people have been vaccinated, or that the vaccines are simply not as effective as initially assumed they would be.

Could Vaccinations Be Causing Rise in Infections?

There is also a third possible problem which was raised by French virologist and Nobel laureate Luc Montagnier, MD in May 2021. In an interview with Pierre Barnérias of Hold-Up Media, Dr. Montagnier said he believed that the mass vaccination programs for COVID may actually be causing SARS-CoV-2 mutations like the Delta variant and, thus, prolonging the pandemic.¹⁷

Dr. Montagnier explained that in each country that undertakes a mass vaccination campaign, "the curve of vaccinations is followed by the curve of deaths." He said that the COVID vaccines create antibodies that force the virus to "find another solution" or "die," adding that it is the variants that "are a production and result from the vaccination."¹⁸

Dr. Montagnier's views are admittedly controversial. The thought that vaccinations may actually be exacerbating the COVID pandemic is perhaps too difficult a concept for government officials to consider. But this possibility should not be dismissed outright.

Bitcoin - Good or Bad? - An ALT View of the Bitcoin Bubble

2017-12-10T10:05:00.003+00:00

Disclaimer: The views in this post reflect those expressed by the author and are not necessarily shared by the Altcoin community as a whole. Correct at time of posting!

It is difficult to fathom what the future holds for Bitcoin. It is an exchange mechanism where people who buy a percentage of Bitcoins can then trade lower priced Altcoins. At it's current rate of inflation, the Bitcoin value will be more than the entire world's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) within 10 years. I think eventually it will stabilise and become integrated into the monetary systems of the world. Currently there is no way to short (sell) Bitcoins without owning them first, which is a good thing for traders. It means that even if the market crashes, no Bitcoin holder will be completely wiped out. But it also means volatility, as the only way to make money from Bitcoin directly is to buy it and sell it for a profit, hence the current rate of inflation. Trader bots love volatility and are making insane profits from the charts on a daily basis. The "Bitcoin Bubble" has to end sometime. And it needs to be regulated; no one is overseeing the process. The more I look into Bitcoin the less integrity I find. It is supposed to make the world more abundant financially, compared to the current fiat system but who can buy coins at £10,000 per coin? Only the rich is the answer to that question.

"Matt, from my humble uneducated understanding...The whole idea of Bitcoin is the absence of regulation, no middleman, no oversight. Just a transaction between you and me. No government regulations, no central bank manipulation. It has integrity, abundance, between you and me. The lack of integrity is with financial institutions and government regulatory agencies.. (my opinion). And you can buy Bitcoin for $100 if you wish, a fraction. Survival and [the] thrive of cryptocurrency could make central banks obsolete."

Well you haven't done your homework. The middlemen are the miners and the hackers. The people who clear the blockchain transactions can be anyone from a large clearing house in China to Joe Bloggs on his computer at home. Small Transactions are already getting lost in the blockchain because minors are predilecting to process transactions with larger amounts and ignoring smaller transactions because they have lower fees. They shouldn't be able to do that technically. All transactions are hashed and added to the block in the order they are received and then whole blocks are processed at once to make it fair. So that means someone apart from the exchange and the bitcoin owner is influencing (manipulating) the "cannot be interfered with" transaction to make more money, while others with less money lose money. The rich get richer and as for the rest.... starting to sound familiar?

Also wallets with reasonable amounts of Bitcoin are hacked daily. It is not safe, developed, regulated, trusted or secure. And the blockchain tech is vulnerable. Once you buy bitcoin all you can do is exchange it for another alt coin, gamble it on an exchange or hold it insecurely, You got $100 to lose? Good luck investing!

It's all good in principle (see http://cryptoxbureau.com/invest-cryptocurrency/). While the price only goes up anyway... and as soon as you withdraw your Bitcoins and exchange them back for real dollars, your income will be subject to Income tax and (if it is a large amount) Capital Gains tax.

As soon as the price starts coming down (and it will) traders will want to short (sell) Bitcoin. Unlike the Foreign Exchange (FX), there is no way to do that at present if you do not own the Bitcoin in the first place. So there is no bear market, no pressure from big sellers to get the price down. Hence the over inflation, which in my opinion is designed to make a few people a lot of money while at the same time it becomes unreachable to most. It is absolutely illogical that a "notional value" for anything can be greater than the value of the world when it is backed by nothing but sentiment. Bitcoin is already greater in monetary value than the entire U.K. And it has not even been officially recognised yet.

One other thing to think about if you are planning to invest in Bitcoin: You cannot own Bitcoin unless you first own a fiat currency (to buy it with) and yet Bitcoin's goal is to replace currency! It has no value of its own. You cannot buy stuff with it. If you buy loads of Bitcoin you don't then own a warehouse full of gold or grain. All you can do is exchange it for dollar or HODL (Hold On for Dear Life) and hope your account doesn't get hacked or your wallet provider disappears overnight with your money.

How does that work...? When it depends on currency to exist in the first place? The original blockchain wallet concept has become obsolete already. To have a wallet installed on your computer means you have to download the entire blockchain ledger for the last six years and that is if you can even get it past your internet security software which will immediately block it as "malware". That means anyone with an older computer with a small hard drive cannot participate unless they trust someone with an online wallet. Wallet providers are already experiencing security problems and issues with transactions becoming "stuck" in the blockchain. Try it if you don't believe me. The system is almost impossible to work if you don't have money you are willing to lose. How is that creating abundance or helping the little guy?

If they wanted to create abundance (and not greed) everyone in the world would be entitled to a share of Bitcoin. Doesn't work like that at the moment. You have to buy Bitcoin with dollar and the price is sky high. Got no dollar to invest? Sorry, then you are not in the club! Same old, "Get rich quick, or get out." In my opinion.

Only time will tell if Bitcoin and other Altcoins will stabilise and become long term investments. But up until now, if your transaction becomes stuck or lost on the blockchain, there is no way to trace it, no-one to refund it and no-one willing to take responsibility for it... but the money has still left your account and someone, somewhere probably knows about it.

The current monetary system might be currupt, but are the criminals that use Bitcoin any less currupt? Some things to think about before you invest more than you can afford to lose in the notional currency that is Bitcoin.

First Edition of Harry Potter 'Featuring JK Rowling' Sells For £150,000

2013-05-26T10:10:00.002+01:00

A first edition copy of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, with author JK Rowling's notes and original illustrations, was sold for £150,000 at auction in London.

The book, which was auctioned by Sotheby's at a charity sale in aid of the English Pen writers' association, was purchased by an anonymous bidder by telephone.

The annotations by Rowling include comments on the process of writing and a section from an early draft of the novel, along with a number of illustrations drawn by her and a note on how she came to invent Quidditch, a sport played by characters in the books.

She and others had been asked to "scribble second thoughts, marginalia or drawings" on a first edition copy of one of their books for the event, which raised £439,200 in total.

Rick Gekoski, a rare book dealer and trustee of English Pen, curated the collection of annotated first editions for the sale. He said: "This is a triumphant conclusion to a wonderful project, which has involved the hard work and good will of so many people. I am sure that the buyers of the individual books will be thrilled with their purchases."

Dan Brown on Overpopulation and "Saving The World"

2013-05-26T10:05:00.000+01:00

"This is not an activist book - but overpopulation is something that I'm concerned about”

...were Dan Brown's opening statements in a recent interview with the BBC.

The latest thriller from The Da Vinci Code author Dan Brown is expected to be the best-selling book of the year. But that has not stopped literary critics from gleefully tearing Inferno apart. According to the BBC, "Bilge", "noxious malarkey" and "entertaining twaddle" are just some of the choice phrases that have been picked to describe Dan Brown's Inferno in the press. Of anywhere in the world, he says his books get the worst reviews in the UK, where it "seems to be sport to kick me around a bit".

The Da Vinci Code drew protests around the world,
including being burned in India in 2006

"I wish everybody loved what I do, of course," he replies. "Of course it's hurtful. I've learned that universal acceptance and appreciation is just an unrealistic goal.

"If a reviewer is beating me up, I just say, 'Oh well, my writing is not to his or her taste.' And that's as far as it goes. Because I will simultaneously read a review where somebody says, 'Oh my God, I had so much fun reading this book and I learned so much.'

"The best thing to do is just put on the blinders, write the book that you would want to read and hope that other people share your taste. It's really that simple.

"There is a little cloak and dagger when I'm researching," he says. "Usually, half of what I'm looking at is for the book, and half is to create the illusion that I'm looking at something else.

"A lot of people assume, [because] you're writing about Dante, it's got to be about the church. Dante was very critical about the church, and I think a lot of people wanted to draw that line with me and say, 'That's where he's headed'."

That may have been a logical assumption, given that Brown's most popular and notorious work The Da Vinci Code famously raised the ire of the Catholic Church by claiming the church had been involved in an age-old cover-up over the fact Jesus had married Mary Magdalene.

"I talked to a lot of scientists who are also concerned about it and I came to understand that overpopulation is the issue to which all of our other environmental issues are tied.

"For example, things like ozone, where do we get our clean water, starvation, deforestation. These we consider problems. But they're really symptoms of overpopulation. So overpopulation to me seems like the big issue."

In the story, Langdon and Zobrist both believe they are saving the world.

"There are moments in the novel, or at least when I was writing it, when I thought, wow, Zobrist may save the world here. Maybe this is how far we have to go to stop this."

He pauses before quickly adding a final "I don't know" to emphasise that he is not actually suggesting such an extreme solution.

"I don't have an answer," he says. "If I did, I wouldn't be writing novels, I'd be trying to help out for real."

Major Restructure for Waterstones Management Staff

2013-05-26T09:45:00.001+01:00

Waterstones has begun a company-wide consultation with around 560 management-level staff as it prepares for a restructure set to put more emphasis on traditional shop floor bookselling.

Daunt also said its website offering to customers was "subject to fundamental review", with work currently underway to revamp it. "I would not be entering into this unless I thought it necessary, and unless I was sure that we will emerge a better, stronger bookseller for having done it."

Custom Blogger Favicons

2013-02-21T14:17:00.001+00:00

Dear Friends,

I recently (today) purchased a custom domain name for my blog which works perfectly apart from one thing: my favicon showed up at my blog address http://www.innervisionpress.blogspot.co.uk/ but didn't show up when I visit my new custom URL http://www.innervisionpress.com .

I know it is just little thing but lots of people have been having issues with this so here is the work around.

Upload you icon image file using the Favicon Gadget in your blogger "Layout". This adds the following code to your page source which shows up in the <head> section.

<link href='http://www.innervisionpress.com/favicon.ico' rel='icon' type='image/x-icon'/>

I tried adding the code just before the </head> tag and also the code...

<link href='http://www.innervisionpress.com/favicon.ico' rel='shortcut icon' type='image/x-icon'/>

...but neither seemed to work at my custom URL. I also tried deleting my cache and refreshing the page. The only thing I could think of is that when visiting my custom URL it redirects to the .com instead of .co.uk blogspot so I added the following code just before the closing </head> tag and it worked fine. You will notice I changed the custom URL back to my blogspot URL...

<link href='http://www.innervisionpress.blogspot.co.uk/favicon.ico' rel='shortcut icon'/>
<link href='http://www.innervisionpress.blogspot.co.uk/favicon.ico' rel='shortcut icon' type='image/vnd.microsoft.icon'/>

<link href='http://www.innervisionpress.blogspot.co.uk/favicon.ico' rel='icon' type='image/vnd.microsoft.icon'/>

I hope this helps some of you, if you know of a better way let me know :)

My Blessing!

LibraryThing: State of the Thing

2013-02-09T00:45:00.003+00:00

Welcome to the February State of the Thing. This month we're excited to announce a redo of LibraryThing Local—faster, better and with 10,000 upcoming events.We also have a new version of our Readar iPhone app. Members have also raised more than $1,700 for needy readers so far by adding venues and events!

Also this month, some new helper badges and an invitation to join the 75 Books Challenge for 2013. We have author interviews with Robin Sloan and Christine Sneed. There are 3,781 free Early Reviewer books available in February.

You can "like" LibraryThing on Facebook, and follow @LibraryThing on Twitter for up-to-the-minute site news and updates.

LibraryThing Local Improvements

Speed. As more data was added to LT Local, pages got extremely large and slow to load, especially if you lived somewhere like New York City. New Local is much faster, with page-load times of a few seconds at most.

Bigger, better maps. You can now zoom, click and drag the maps and new venues will load in dynamically. (Before they just stopped outside the sample area.) Each map also has a full page mode, useful for planning bookish road trips!

Local Members. Local members, which shows members near you who've chosen to make their location public, has been thoroughly revamped and updated, with a pleasant checkerboard view. To add a public location, or remove yours, edit your profile. You also have a "private location," so you can find out what's going on in your town without telling anyone where that is.

Books for Ghana. By adding events to LT Local, members have raised more than $1,700 for needy readers, and we've extended the donation period through April 4, so keep adding! So far we've contributed $600 of that to Keith Goddard's Books4Ghana campaign on Indiegogo, putting that effort over the top. This will fund the shipping of several thousand books to the Bright Future School in Keta, Ghana this spring. We hope to work with Keith more going forward.

New version of Readar. We've updated our Readar app (formerly Local Books). If you haven't used it yet, Readar is a simple app for bookstores, libraries and bookish events near you. I use it all the time at home—every time I want to call a bookstore, they're all right there. And I use it whenever I go on a trip, so I know where to spend my free time.

Tell us what you think. See the blog post for more information about all the new LibraryThing Local features and changes, or come discuss them here.

Other News and Features

Up for a challenge? For the sixth year in a row, an intrepid group of LibraryThingers has started a 75 Books Challenge group, with more than 500 members so far. I've joined the fun again this year, and am having a grand time. With monthly themes, group reads, meetups and readathons, the challenge group's got something for everyone, and don't worry if you don't read 75 books in a year, (or if you read many more than 75) … it's really more about the fun of it than the numbers of books. For more information, check out the blog post, or visit the group page.

New helper badges! We've added a few new badges for LibraryThing helpers: Local Venue Matching, Exterminator, Work Relationships, Work Separations, CoverGuess, Tag Translations, and Tag Combinations. Badge notifications also have been added to your News Feed so you can share them on Facebook or Twitter. See the Talk post for the announcement and the criteria for each of the new badges, or the wiki page for the full rundown on badges.

Along with "New Local," we introduced a stats/memes page for Local contributions.

Profile changes. We moved a few sections around on profile pages to bring the "About me" and "About my library" sections up a bit, and added a "Favorite venues" link to your LT Local Favorites page. So far members have been mostly positive about the changes. Come discuss them on Talk.

Free books: Early Reviewers

Read and review free books, before they even hit the shelves! We've given out a grand total of 134,500 books so far through Early Reviewers.

The February batch of Early Reviewer books contains 3,781 copies of 110 different titles. The deadline to request a free book to read and review is February 25 at 6 p.m. EST. The March batch will be up during the second week of the month.

The list of books

The most requested books so far this month:

Interview with author Robin Sloan

Robin Sloan is an author and media inventor who has worked at Poynter, Current TV, and Twitter. His first novel, Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore, was published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux in October 2012. Follow Robin on Twitter at @robinsloan.

The title of Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore came from a tweet, right? Tell us where you got the idea, and how the book developed from the original short story into a full-length novel.

That's right: the germ of the idea was a tweet from my friend Rachel, way back in 2008, which read, "just misread '24hr bookdrop' as '24hr bookshop'. the disappointment is beyond words." I read it walking down the street in San Francisco, and it made me smile and wonder: what would a 24-hour bookstore be like, anyway? A few months later, when I sat down to start a new story, the question was still there, so I started to sketch it out. When it was finished, I published that story online, both in Amazon's Kindle Store and on my website, and it just took off like a rocket—somehow finding an audience much bigger and more vocal than any of my other stories before or since. So, that was a sign that maybe there was something there: some deeper potential, some larger story.

You describe yourself as a media inventor: what do you mean by the term, and if you could invent any media type at all (cost and other logistics being no object), what would it look/feel like?

It's pretty simple: a media inventor is somebody who's interested in both the contentâ€”the words, the pictures, the ideasâ€”and the container. A good example is my essay Fish, which began as a blog post but quickly grew into something else: a sort of simple tap-by-tap presentation that plays out on an iPhone screen. The format is a crucial part of the experience; the same words, laid out flat as a blog post, wouldn't have the same impact. It's a small thing, but indicative of what I'm talking about. These days, with all these amazing screens at our disposal, there's an opportunity to be creative about not only the words themselves but also the way they're presented.

What was your research process like as you wrote this book? Were there sources on the early years of printing that you found particularly useful?

I love Andrew Pettegree's The Book in the Renaissance, a historian's look at the publishing business circa 1400-1600. Basically the takeaway is this: it was just as competitive and chaotic as the internet industry is today. Probably more so.

I enjoyed the New York Times story about your recent visit to the Grolier Club in New York. What was the most interesting (or surprising) thing you saw there?

I got a chance to see some books printed by Aldus Manutius up close. He was basically the first great printer; his company produced the first printed editions of the classics—Aristotle, Homer, Ovid, all those guys. I'd read a lot about Manutius (he plays a role in Penumbra) but had never seen any of his books in the flesh. They were amazing to behold: these 500-year-old objects, still perfectly legible, still quite beautiful.

That article also notes that you originally wanted to have the book printed in a custom typeface. Had this been possible, what would the typeface have looked like?

Well, I don't want to give too much away, but there's a fictional typeface that plays a role in Penumbra's plot, and it would have been fun—and sort of recursive, I suppose—to print the book in some simulation of that very typeface. As it happens, the real typeface we used has similar roots. It all goes back to Manutius!

Read the rest of our interview with Robin Sloan.

Interview with author Christine Sneed

Christine Sneed teaches creative writing for Northwestern University's graduate writing program and for Pacific University's MFA program. Her stories have been published in many literary journals, and her book of short stories, Portraits of a Few of the People I've Made Cry, was awarded a 2010 Los Angeles Times book prize. Christine's first novel, Little Known Facts, will be published in early February by Bloomsbury.

For those who haven't yet had a chance to read it, give us the nutshell version of Little Known Facts, if you would.

This is a character-driven novel about a family in Hollywood; the person at the book's center is a successful film actor whose two adult children are struggling to step out from the large shadow he casts over their lives.

Do you recall what first gave you the idea to write a novel about Hollywood fame and its effects on both the famous person and those around him?

I remember wondering one day what it would be like to have a famous film actor as your father, especially if you are a young man—what sort of competition and envy would you feel? This is where the idea for the book began, but I'm not sure what triggered it.

You've written that Little Known Facts asks of its characters 'If you could have anything in the world, what would you choose?' How would you answer that question yourself?

Well, it will sound a little suspect, but it's nonetheless true: I would help friends and family pay debts, send their children to college, take fancy vacations in the sun. I'd want to be able to take fancy, sunny vacations too and spend more time in France, the country where I studied in college; it remains very close to my heart. I'd also like to see about four movies a week.

The first chapter of the novel was originally published as a standalone short story, I understand? Can you tell us a bit about the process of expanding that original story into a full book?

I wrote "Relations," the first chapter, in the fall of 2010, and in mid-March 2011, I realized that I was still very curious about Will, his father, his sister Anna, etc. and started to sketch out subsequent chapters. They seemed real to me, despite the rarefied plane on which they lived.

Tell us a bit about your writing process: how and when do you do much of your writing? Any particular hints or tips on writing that you'd like to share?

I usually write in the afternoons when I'm not teaching; I do sometimes write at night, but not as often. The writing advice I often give is that you can get a lot done in the interstices—even if you only have 30-45 minutes on a given day, sit down and at least make some notes. A book is written little by little, not in one marathon session.

Read the rest of our interview with Christine Sneed.
