Unclear if Vitamin D will now be mandated to prevent infections The peer-reviewed study, which recruited 321 frontline healthcare workers, received follow-up from 94 participants from the group that was administered Vitamin D and 98 from the group that was not. Of those who had taken Vitamin D, 6.4% contracted COVID-19, while 24.5% of those who had not taken the vitamin were infected with the virus. “To our knowledge, this is the first controlled study evaluating the role of [Vitamin D] supplementation as a prophylactic measure to prevent SARS-Cov-2 infection and therefore has profound clinical and public health implications,” the researchers wrote. Some of the world’s leading physicians have been recommending Vitamin D as part of a COVID-19 treatment protocol. In February 2021, 220 professionals – most of them doctors – from 33 countries signed a letter advocating for the use of vitamin D to treat COVID-19. “Many factors are known to predispose individuals to higher risk from exposure to SARS-CoV-2, such as age, being male, comorbidities, etc., but inadequate vitamin D is by far the most easily and quickly modifiable risk factor with abundant evidence to support a large effect," read the letter. "Vitamin D is inexpensive and has negligible risk compared to the considerable risk of COVID-19.” “Given its safety, we call for immediate widespread increased vitamin D intakes,” the letter added. https://americasfrontlinenews.com/post/new-study-finds-vitamin-d-safe-and-effective-in-preventing-covid-19
FDA authorizes Labcorp’s combined COVID-influenza-respiratory virus at-home test kit https://wraltechwire.com/2022/05/18...influenza-respiratory-virus-at-home-test-kit/ With COVID-19 cases again on the rise and flu still a threat, Labcorp has received emergency use authorization from the Food and Drug Administration for a new combination at-home test kit that targets not only COVID-19 but infleunza and a respiratory virus that is a threat to children. The Burlington-based life science giant announced the FDA’s endorsement early Wednesday. According to Labcorp, the kit “simultaneously detects COVID-19, influenza A/B and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), a common but contagious respiratory virus often seen in children.” The kit, known as Pixel, is available now through Labcorp’s online health platform known as Labcorp OnDemand. No prescription is required. It’s intended for use by individuals ages 2 and up, according to the company. Depending upon a person’s insurance coverage there may be no upfront cost, Labcorp said. Labcorp has been an industry leader in developing at-home test kits during the COVID-19 pandemic. “Labcorp’s COVID-19 tests have been trusted by physicians and millions of people throughout the pandemic. This new at-home collection kit makes it easier for consumers to access testing for multiple respiratory viruses – COVID-19, the flu and RSV – that can present similar symptoms,” said Dr. Brian Caveney, chief medical officer and president of Labcorp Diagnostics, in a statement. “With the spike in RSV cases over the last year, the continued presence of COVID-19, and the ever-present threat of flu, testing for all three viruses at once enables individuals and physicians to quickly identify the illness and determine the appropriate treatment.” Here’s how the process works according to Labcorp: “The Pixel by Labcorp COVID-19+Flu+RSV Test Home Collection Kit is shipped via FedEx Priority Overnight to an individual’s home. Once collected, the sample is returned to Labcorp via a prepaid return envelope. “Test results are available through an individual’s Labcorp OnDemand account 1-2 days on average after Labcorp receives the completed collection kit. “If a person tests positive, they will receive a call from a third-party physician network with detailed next steps and access to a free clinician consult. “Clinical guidelines for receiving the kit at no upfront cost with insurance include experiencing symptoms, being exposed to someone with COVID-19, or receiving a request to get tested from a health care provider. “This test is only intended for individuals experiencing flu-like symptoms.” Labcorp notes that the FDA “has not been FDA cleared or approved and has been authorized by the FDA under an emergency use authorization only for the detection of nucleic acid from SARS-CoV-2, influenza A and/or influenza B, and RSV, not for any other viruses or pathogens” and is “only authorized for the duration of the declaration that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of emergency.”
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9062939/ The COVID-19 pandemic is one of the most manipulated infectious disease events in history, characterized by official lies in an unending stream lead by government bureaucracies, medical associations, medical boards, the media, and international agencies.[3,6,57] We have witnessed a long list of unprecedented intrusions into medical practice, including attacks on medical experts, destruction of medical careers among doctors refusing to participate in killing their patients and a massive regimentation of health care, led by non-qualified individuals with enormous wealth, power and influence. For the first time in American history a president, governors, mayors, hospital administrators and federal bureaucrats are determining medical treatments based not on accurate scientifically based or even experience based information, but rather to force the acceptance of special forms of care and “prevention”—including remdesivir, use of respirators and ultimately a series of essentially untested messenger RNA vaccines. For the first time in history medical treatment, protocols are not being formulated based on the experience of the physicians treating the largest number of patients successfully, but rather individuals and bureaucracies that have never treated a single patient—including Anthony Fauci, Bill Gates, EcoHealth Alliance, the CDC, WHO, state public health officers and hospital administrators.[23,38] The media (TV, newspapers, magazines, etc), medical societies, state medical boards and the owners of social media have appointed themselves to be the sole source of information concerning this so-called “pandemic”. Websites have been removed, highly credentialed and experienced clinical doctors and scientific experts in the field of infectious diseases have been demonized, careers have been destroyed and all dissenting information has been labeled “misinformation” and “dangerous lies”, even when sourced from top experts in the fields of virology, infectious diseases, pulmonary critical care, and epidemiology. These blackouts of truth occur even when this information is backed by extensive scientific citations from some of the most qualified medical specialists in the world.[23] Incredibly, even individuals, such as Dr. Michael Yeadon, a retired ex-Chief Scientist, and vice-president for the science division of Pfizer Pharmaceutical company in the UK, who charged the company with making an extremely dangerous vaccine, is ignored and demonized. Further, he, along with other highly qualified scientists have stated that no one should take this vaccine. Dr. Peter McCullough, one of the most cited experts in his field, who has successfully treated over 2000 COVID patients by using a protocol of early treatment (which the so-called experts completely ignored), has been the victim of a particularly vicious assault by those benefiting financially from the vaccines. He has published his results in peer reviewed journals, reporting an 80% reduction in hospitalizations and a 75% reduction in deaths by using early treatment.[44] Despite this, he is under an unrelenting series of attacks by the information controllers, none of which have treated a single patient. Neither Anthony Fauci, the CDC, WHO nor any medical governmental establishment has ever offered any early treatment other than Tylenol, hydration and call an ambulance once you have difficulty breathing. This is unprecedented in the entire history of medical care as early treatment of infections is critical to saving lives and preventing severe complications. Not only have these medical organizations and federal lapdogs not even suggested early treatment, they attacked anyone who attempted to initiate such treatment with all the weapons at their disposal—loss of license, removal of hospital privileges, shaming, destruction of reputations and even arrest.[2] A good example of this outrage against freedom of speech and providing informed consent information is the recent suspension by the medical board in Maine of Dr. Meryl Nass’ medical license and the ordering of her to undergo a psychiatric evaluation for prescribing Ivermectin and sharing her expertise in this field.[9,65] I know Dr, Nass personally and can vouch for her integrity, brilliance and dedication to truth. Her scientific credentials are impeccable. This behavior by a medical licensing board is reminiscent of the methodology of the Soviet KGB during the period when dissidents were incarcerated in psychiatric gulags to silence their dissent.
Let's take a deeper look at what this the idiot, Russell L. Blaylock, has been pushing... Seems neurosurgeons are not immune to neuroses Recently a number of people have forwarded me bits of wisdom emanating from Dr. Russel Blaylock, neurosurgeon. While at one time he may have been in possession of an acceptable brain, mental fog now seems to have set in. I have long followed Dr. Blaylock’s rants against food additives, aluminum cookware, fluoridation and dental amalgam. A career in neurosurgery obviously does not confer expertise on these issues. But let’s dig a little deeper into the mind of this man, a mind filled with conspiracy theories. https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/c...s/seems-neurosurgeons-are-not-immune-neuroses At the same time we should note that Surgical Neurology International is an open access medical journal which has taken in a lot of nonsense from twisted doctors promoting snake medicine which then gets submitted to the NIH journal. Blaylock is merely trying to push his wacko books such as Prescriptions for Natural Health and other assorted online "health ventures" and "cures". He is an exact example of what is wrong with medicine, and the need for reform to remove the medical licenses of snake-oil salesmen. The quack behind the MSG scare is still stoking fear for profit How Russell Blaylock worked his way into every reprehensible health scam from anti-chemo to anti-vaxx. https://theoutline.com/post/1183/the-quack-behind-the-msg-scare-is-still-stoking-fear-for-profit
