Illnesses In the News

Today I read three different interesting and somewhat frightening articles … No, they were not in my local “newspaper.”

The first had to do with a measles outbreak in Ohio. This outbreak

has infected at least 82 children and left 32 hospitalized. Although surreptitiously avoided in statements by health officials in Franklin County (Columbus, Ohio), immediately the elephant in the room should have been addressed, “Were these children vaccinated or unvaccinated, legal or illegal?” From my way of thinking, since these issues were not mentioned, these children were most likely both non-vaccinated and illegal. This is pertinent because if measles is being brought across the southern border, what else other than fentanyl is also being brought across the border?

The second article had to do with the catastrophic Covid epidemic in China.

From the Epoch Times:

“A respiratory and critical care medicine physician from The First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University posted on Weibo on Dec. 28 that among the 60 patients he saw in the outpatient clinic, ‘80 percent had pneumonia of differing degrees.’

‘Almost all of them were positive for COVID, and most of them have the characteristics of viral pneumonia from the scanned images. The ‘novel coronavirus pneumonia’ is true to its name. The disease cannot be regarded as the upper respiratory tract infection of the novel coronavirus ‘flu,’ the doctor wrote.

President Biden is now going to require Covid testing of anyone coming out of China, starting on 1/5/23. Two questions: First, why wait until 1/5? and second, isn’t that the same thing that then candidate Joe Biden castigated President Trump for doing?

Here in the U.S:

The COVID-19 Omicron XBB.1.5 subvariant nearly doubled in prevalence over the past week, data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) showed on Friday, with it now comprising over 40 percent of new cases in the United States.

Japanese researchers also said their results suggest that XBB is “highly transmissible” and highly resistant to the immunity that was induced by people having had breakthrough infections of the previous Omicron subvariants.

Researchers from Columbia University, in a paper published Dec. 13 in the journal Cell, noted that the newly emerged subvariants raise concerns that they may “further compromise the efficacy of current COVID-19 vaccines and monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapeutics.”

So pardon my asking … but if the vaccines do not prevent the present sub-variants, and mAb are compromised, isn’t it time for Ivermectin and/or Hydroxychloroquine to be made available?
