We don't have community transmission. The issue is that people want to come into the Country so currently we have quarantine at the borders. But then that means we have people working in the border quarantine facilities who are at risk. The military and police and cleaners and hotel staff etc etc. Nurses doing their Covid testing. And then they take a turn for the worse, sometimes, and need to be medically treated. So then there is a risk in the hospital...

So the idea that it's only a matter of time, really, until we do get community transmission.

We have purchased enough vaccine to vaccinate more than everyone so...

We are still grappling with 'informed consent' and appropriate sanctions / penalties / exclusions for people who 'refuse'.

Maaori leaders, particularly, do not like the notion of informed consent. They believe it is their right as Maaori leaders to make decisions on behalf of their people. For the very very first time we are having a ligher level of leadership (coming from parliament) that Maori are people too with the same rights as everyone else... So the tribal leaders are looking more like the tribal middle-managers who are just as corrupt as that level of management when it comes to... I don't know... Lead poisoning communities of white people.

I see easier to use one vaccine hence the purchasing of just the Pfizer vaccine then. Now are you saying that there will be a mandate for all New Zelander's to get vaccinated to control the community spread sure to happen. Oh and what do you like about the Johnson & Johnson vaccine vs the Pfizer one? Phillipa

Apparently we did purchase a 'diverse portfolio' of 4.

I think because we were told 'are you a developed nation -- in which case you contribute towards the cost of production. We don't know which (if any) will be successful. Contribute towards the cost of production'. Or... Is the plan for NZ to cry cry cry cry cry for vaccine hand-outs like impoverished nations where the leaders are too corrupt to invest in the costs of production? We don't have skilled labor to contribute to production. By the time the kids of the elite officials mopped up all the grades and all the scholarships and all the training places... By the time they got all the money for being yes-men... The best we could do was make a little hand-sanitiser to WHO receipe until our foreign supply of materials dried up.

So we should at least pay money dollar dollar bills to understand the cost of refusing to allow the people of NZ to contrbute towards development.

So now we have 4 different kinds arriving on our shores. But we won't train a task-force to know that different vaccines are different with different instructions on how they are to be stored and administered. Nope. It's tooooooooooooooooooo haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard. There is only allowed to be ONE protocol for ALL the vaccines.

Distribution and roll-out of all the other vaccines has pretty much halted. No MMR vaccines. We are heading towards mumps epidemics (again). Because the government has over-focused on shiny shiny single thing to attract ALL the attention right this minute.

It seems cheaper and easier to make everybody do the same thing. They don't have a sense of diversity and robustness. They won't train all and only the people with the capacity (cognitive or otherwise) for any of that. THey want their idiot children to do it and that's the capacity of their idiot children and there we go.

We are struggling because not many people in NZ understand informed consent. THe things that have been coming out of some of the MInisters mouths lately...

Then the overseas think-tank started writing the policicians speeches or something and we started getting some sensible things through in the media again.

ffs.

They can't cognitively process the thought that everybody isn't required to be all exactly the same (to make their managing easier). They can't deal.

I don't think any other country was nasal swabbing children -- because nasal swabs done properly are very invasive. You need to get a collection of cells right at that sensitive part of yoru oropharynx where you have a concentration of neural endings for your sense of smell... Odor / chemo / taste receptors. That's where the virus targets in the oropharynx. It's very invasive to get a swab of there...

The US (insfoar as I could tell) waited for saliva testing to be developed BEFORE rolling out testing (before rolling out saliva testing) of kids in schools and the like.

NZ waited until we had in fact developed the capacity for saliva testing. Then, very very shortly after it was announced we had the capacity to do saliva testing they voluntarily chose to bully all the kids (all but about 2 of them) into having a nasal swab test at one of the High Schools.

When you only have about 2 kids opting out in an entire school...

That tells you informed consent is'nt working. Because you would expect a higher number to opt out if their decision was accepted.

That is to say New Zealanders most often do not have the right to refuse medical treatment. I am not denying they would rightly be required to quarantine themselves for the health of the people. But they have a right to not undergo an invasive procedure and choose to quarantine instead.

But our politicians / senior health officials don't view it that way.

Tribal leaders, partiuclarly, think they have the right to force their tribe to comply with their will. But the white leaders don't treat their people any better. It is wrong to view it as a cultural thing. It is correct to view it as tyrants disrespecting and disregarding the humanity of their people which means they cannot be the rightful leaders of their people.

________

I would have chosen the Johnson one if I was (relevantly) you I do believe because you are, I think over 60 female. You don't have history of known allergy but you are still highest risk of potentially having an allergic response. You have good access to good healthcare and you likely don't need to bring your own epipen and person capable of administering it to be okay if you did happen to have an allergic response... You could probably trust your health system...

But the moderna and pfizer are newer technology and if I were you I'd let teh young-uns offer themselves while that all gets ironed out. I would be conservative, in your age bracket. The Johnson is the older (more standards therefore probably more reliable) and you only need 1 shot. Likely. So decrease teh risk of negative response. Half it. Maybe. Even.

That being said they'd all likely be just fine.

I wouldn't worry or stress about any of them... Even the recent recent stuff about blood clots... I think that might have more to do with them not wanting to offer 1st dose of it to new people in order to ensure that people can have the 2nd dose of it who had the 1st dose of it. They are trying to get the public on-side with moving to the next type of vaccine that countries are rolling out because they have a diverse portfolio...

Alex it's complicated. Europe is on hold now with the Astra Zenaca vaccine but they are going to try for emergency approval in the USA. I guess the blood clots are why Europe has the vaccine on hold. Yes definitely over 60 going to be 75 on Saturday. Hard to believe. But when got the shot I and husband both had to sit in a chair where the pharmacist who administered the vaccine could watch us for 15 minutes for allergic reaction. She did have epipens available. The mRNA ones I just don't know? But isn't Pfizer ther one there? Or are they shipping it elsewhere due to the cold storage? Phillipa

> Alex it's complicated.

It is very very complicated and I am sure I don't know the half of it.

I am also sure that some of the information is being held back by people who don't understand it who tell themselves that the information would not be received / understood by the public. That is to say I am sure the limitations of our leaders understanding holds up understanding overall as if they can't understand it nobody is allowed to.

Jack and Jill cannot outrun their master.

> I guess the blood clots are why Europe has the vaccine on hold.

Don't know. Possible reasons include:
1) They need to stop giving that kind to new people to make sure they can deliver remaining doses (quotas being produced) to people who need the second shot of that particular one. So logistics.

2) Clots.

3) Manufacturing. I'm not sure if there are quality control issues to do with manufacture on *some* batches. The clots thing could be associated with that... I don't know...

It might possibly be the case that this vaccination is better to be given to people who are not at risk of blood clots. Or there may be no association. I don't know what the clots are comprised of. Clumps of antibody? Or what...

Could be a combo...


> Yes definitely over 60 going to be 75 on Saturday. Hard to believe.

> But when got the shot I and husband both had to sit in a chair where the pharmacist who administered the vaccine could watch us for 15 minutes for allergic reaction. She did have epipens available.

Yes. That's what is supposed to happen. Except I guessed about epipens... I wasn't sure if it was epipen or aderenalin to the heart but I didn't want to sound scary. Epipens. Yes.


>The mRNA ones I just don't know? But isn't Pfizer ther one there? Or are they shipping it elsewhere due to the cold storage? Phillipa

It's just a different mechanism of action. We don't know as much about it. It could turn out to be a wonderful new invention that is much safer than old ways of doing things. But old ways of doing things were pretty safe already so... Pfizer and Moderna are both the newer technology (mRNA vaccines). If they turn out to be no more problematic than other types of vaccines then likely it will be teh preferrred technology in future.

They reckon that it is easier to vaccinate against a lot of different things with the mrna. The hope is that they can vaccinate people against more things. More strains of influenza (not just a select few). MOre strains of HPV. Better protection.

I worry a bit that it might stress people's immune system overly to prepare them against every possibility... I don't know...

Time will tell.

Blood clots are a natural occurrence when they just stop you from bleeding if you have a cut or other. The clots occur and clog a blood vessel or artery. That is a bad thing. Can cause no blood to flow to a part of your body by occluding blood flow to heart, lungs brain. The clots is made of your own blood.

Right now the Astra Zenaca vaccine is being studied for approval in the USA. But the newsletter I received both today and yesterday said that with the African variant it's only 10% effective. I would guess unless something else turns up positive that the USA will not approve it. They have three vaccines now. And thanks for the glad I'm still around!. Going to post a medical definition of a blood clot for you. Going to google a good one now. Phillipa

The main advantage of the mRNA vaccines is meant to be that it is easy to update them. So... When the virus evolves it is easy to update the vaccination to offer protection against new strains. So... We would expect to hear a lot of 'the virus is evolving faster than the old technology can keep up with isn't it a good thing that we invested sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo (OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo) much money in mRNA vaccination technology?'

(and the cold storage etc etc etc)...

With respect to clotting (the coagulation cascade) it's really complicated. I mean... I still get lost / stuck in Pathoma chapter explaining things...

But in addition to the normal or usual or typical things that trigger the coagulation cascade (clotting) or what goes on with it...

There are a bunch of pathological things that can go wrong with it.

I don't know what pathological thing is going wrong with the coagulation cascade such that some people are having clotting problems with that particular kind of Covid vaccination. That was what I meant to say.

For example, one reason why people can have pathological clotting in their blood is that their own body is making antibodies that are reacting (treating as antigen) some component of the blood vessel wall or something like that.

The worry is that if you give people a vaccination that triggers their body to make antibodies... The antibodies that are produced by the vaccination might respond not just to Covid (as they were supposed to) but they might react to something in the body.

So... An autoimmune problem.

For example... In Streptococcus infection sometimes the bacteria gets into the blood and the bacteria lodges on heart valves. I think (but I'm not certain from memory...) that there's a certain type of collagen in the heart valves. The Immune system response that in evoked by the presence of the Strep can cross-react with the heart valves. That is to say the antibodies bind to the heart valves. Then the neutrophils (I think from memory) or maybe macrophage come along and destroy the bacteria... And also destroy the heart valves the bacteria was attached to. So they end up with valve problems / backflow issues. Heart failure...

There are clotting problems that can arise from antibodies attachign to blood vessels when they shouldn't be attaching to blood vessels. Then the immune response damaging the vessles in teh process of removing the antibodies.

That was actually the kind of auto-immune response that I was worried about (more so than anaphalactic shock). The idea that exposing the body to an antigen (which a vaccine is doing usually but maybe not the mRNA ones)... Getting the body to produce antibodies... Might have this potential side affect of the antibodies that are produced not being as specific as we would like and there is a risk with any antibody that is produced being a bit more general so as to target the body and not just the pathogen.

That was my thought. That every time the body makes a new antibody... There is a risk that that antibody will target self-tissue as well.

So... This ideal of vaccinating people against ALL the things migh tresult in autoimmune diseases going up up up in prevalence.

So there might be a trade-off...

I think that is likely. I would put my money on that.

I am interested in what they find in the clots. If it is a clump of antibody or what it is...

Yes the cytokine storms that happen to some when they have covid already. What you wrote about strep is correct which is why you must take antibiotics with any strep infection like strep throat. If left untreated it can enter the blood stream and cause sepsis which can in itself cause death. But any infection which requires antibiotics can attack the heart. A reason that someone who doesn't take care of their teeth and gum disease can travel to the heart and cause the same problems you speak of.

But the Johnson & Johnson vaccine if not mRNA vaccine doesn't present the same clotting problems does it? Last evening on the news it is reported that this Covid is evolving so fast that there are I think it's 6 variants that the FDA and CDC are watching closely. New booster vaccines are being produced now for these new variants. Hence the rush to vaccinate people before they receive no protection at all from the vaccines. I noticed that the Covid numbers are rising again today all over the South here but seem to be falling in the West Coast and they had the most cases a few days ago. Astra Zeneca is again being used in the UK but I don't think the European Nation is giving the shots at the moment. There will be some meeting of the heads of the different countries to decide. Meanwhile the USA is ramping up the vaccines again. Just received another phone call that we could get a J&J vaccine today down the road at a pharmacy but since we received ours now someone else can have our doses. How are things in New Zealand as of today? As for what is contained in the blood clots that's a good question. Phillipa

Yes, that's right. Bacteria can get into the blood (particularly a kind of bacteria that lives in the mouth / oropharynx) and if the body is required to mount a serous immune response to that bacteria then the antibodies that the body starts to make have a tenency to attack self-tissue. Heart valves.

So you want to give people anti-biotics to keep down the number of the bacteria so that the body doesn't start pumping out the massive numbers of antibodies that cause problems.

That could be a reason why you might want to do careful research on how much of a dose you give people when you vaccinate them. If some people have a very reactive immune system (older women) then you might want to give them weaker doses to produce the required immune response...

I think women might have more of a tendancy to develop auto-immune conditions because they carry a foetus. A foetus is not-them. It is an antigen. It should be... There are things that go on so that the woman's body suppresses an immune response against the foetus... But I do wonder that the cost of that (if you like) is that the body develops autoimmune problems later. Tendancy to. I don't know that that is true. That would predict that the more kids a woman had the higher risk of autoimmune would be and I don't know that that is true at all. There is a lot I don't know / understand about immunology...

That is interesting what you said about teeth / gums. Actually. We have rheumatic fever in NZ. Quite a lot of it. Because people (Maaori but also Pacific Islanders even more so) are not given antibiotics by their rural community GPs. They (the GPs) are full of excuses about how they won't take them anyway but the biggest excuse is that we don't want to breed resistent bacteria. But then you look at how we prophylactically feed chickens and so on antibiotics precisely so that we can keep them in unsanitary conditions that would kill them otherwise... And it's not about us caring about antibiotic resistence. It is about us making active decisions to keep people in the worst conditions we can get away with. Withholding medical treatment from people who would likely consent. Forcing medical treatment from people who would not.


> But the Johnson & Johnson vaccine if not mRNA vaccine doesn't present the same clotting problems does it?

I don't know what the clotting problems are. I don't know what sub-population was found to have clotting problems and I don't know if it was limited to a particular place with manufacturing. I don't think that clotting problems have been noticed for any other vaccine and also it is apparently controversial whether there are any clotting problems at all with the other one.


> Last evening on the news it is reported that this Covid is evolving so fast that there are I think it's 6 variants that the FDA and CDC are watching closely. New booster vaccines are being produced now for these new variants.

Yes. That's the vision. New mRNA vaccines for new strains... People will get 6 monthly or yearly vaccinations against the latest spectrum of things that people have decided people should be vaccinated against... Like... Software updates every few months or whatever to keep your computer online. Plugged in. Functional.

In New Zealand... We have had various government interventions. Being told we are requird to stay home and not go to work. Courts being closed for business for a bit. Things like that. Face masks on buses... Events cancelled. Concerts and the like.

But with respect to Covid... We haven't really had it. I don't know that a single person in NZ has died of it. Our hospital system was not overwhelmed... The consultants fled and they emptied out... People wouldn't present because they were afraid. It was embarrassing for our health sector that while the rest of the world was inundated with medical work ours closed up shop. Nobody home.

People were complaining they were having a baby... Their husband or friend or support person was not allowed in the hospital. Then they were left isolated and unattended for many hours in the hospital. There wasn't anybody there.

There's nobody in NZ... They make artificial clumps. They encourage / force peopel to congregate in very very large groups all packed together. But you go 50m in a direction and there's no people so far as the eye can see...

Only about every 3rd apartment is lived in. Etc.

We just had the Americas Cup yachting event. I live on the harbour now. It is a nice central location. But I see the artificiality in the way tehy structure everything to try and force crowds...

and they will say it's because the tourists aren't here. it was built for the tourists and the tourists aren't here. that's why it feels empty.

but that's not true because i was saying about how empty it really was a few years back, now.

it was particularly striking doing first year health science and they pack things intentionally so there's a stampede and a crush outside the lecture theatres. e.g., to get in to 10am cell biology class there would be a pack of studnets... around 1,000 of them outside the lecture theatre in the 30 minutes or so prior to lecture.

and the traffic... the morning traffic as everybody tries to arrive in the city at exactly the same time. 9am. or 8.30am to beat the traffic. or 8am to beat the traffic. and everybody leaves at the same time. 3pm to pick up the kids from school. or 5 pm when they get off work. or 5.30pm to avoid the traffic or 6pm to avoid the traffic.

but when i was out of that... walking down the streets at 9:30am and *there is nobody here*. The roads are empty. The motorways are nearly empty. There are no people in sight. The people are artificially kept huddling outside the lecture theatre in a cramped space. Or huddled 60 to a floor inside an open plan office.

With every other floor (at least): EMPTY.

There's nobody here.

The government kept records on arrivals...

But not departures. They didn't keep records on how many people FLED NZ.

And the tourist reviews got worse and worse and worse and people stopped coming here. So we intentionally marketed / advertised to... It became about 'how low can you go'.

And about getting refugees and migrant workers to do the work that locals wouldn't do. Trick or con them into it while their language skills werent' good enough for them to hear what the people with power really thought of them / their occuption. Etc.

I don't know what you call it when you buy a company and then you liquidate things to get the money out.

Sell off all the assets. Gut the buildings. A library with a few big group study desks and cheap tables. They can bring their own devices even, right? And look at books online, right?

Then get rid of payroll. List people who are 'honorary' or 'visiting' or otherwise not on payroll. Then pages and pages of administrators etc etc.

Just gutted everything.

Then they take their money and go off overseas.

That's what our leaders do.

I don't feel that is fact about the fetus being a shall be say foreign object in a female's uterus. It's a combination of the Father's DNA and the Mother's DNA but might be more of one or the other. Many females have autoimmune illnesses before pregnancy so that kind of autoimmune illness came before the pregnancy. A good example of just one of them would be Lupus, or thyroid disease. Females are more closely monitored during their pregnancies if do have an autoimmune illness. I believe that the hormones of the females are a huge contributor to autoimmune illness since females are much more likely to have one than a male. Back to covid and blood clots you piqued my interest in what is in those blood clots that form during the illness. I do know that yesterday on our TV news they showed pictures of recipients of the mRNA's upper arms. They have some do large itchy painful rashes now give the name "Covid Arm" Doctors have biopsied them and found nothing abnormal. Rash disappears in a few days but then mysteriously reappears about 8 days past then. A friend of mine on Facebook posted the picture of her arm. She just had dose #2 of Moderna which seems to be the one that causes the rash. I need to google Covid arm to see what is said. Seems that Pfizer is the best mRNA vaccine so far. Phillipa

If first dose is Pfizer here so is 2nd dose, Same with Moderna. If get the Johnson & Johnson as I did it's one shot only. If boosters come out I don't know how that will work? Phillipa

Got the 1st dose of pfizer vaccine. Arm was a little sore the next day, that's all.

My vax site was incredibly efficient. In and out in 30 minutes and they probably did 1000 people while I was there.

> I don't feel that is fact about the fetus being a shall be say foreign object in a female's uterus. It's a combination of the Father's DNA and the Mother's DNA but might be more of one or the other.

Oh. I think it is a fact insofar as the foetus is some percentage of fathers DNA and not mothers DNA. If you were to take something from the father and implant it in the mother (a kidney, a heart, a lung, a face, an arm) then you would need to give the mother immunosuppressant medication to prevent her body from attacking the implant as foreign. There is a barrier between the mother and the foetus, usually, to prevent her rejecting it on the grounds that it is some percentage of immunologically alien...

But when she gives birth she becomes exposed to the foetus. Yeah, I'm remembering... (From books not IRL experience lolz)...

There are many different kinds of auto-immune disorders (also many different kinds of immune responses -- I think 5 from memory)... Mmm... Sometimes they are linked. Same mechanism. Other ones aren't linked.

Some women do have autoimmune disorders and they are okay with vaccinations. It depends... ANd we are still learning a lot about all this stuff...

I am not sure about hormones and autoimmune. I have been reading a lot about lifetime estrogen exposure and various cancers... But not hormones and autoimmune diseases in females... It might be to do with hormones -- but I had not heard that. I don't know why I got it into my head that it was something to do with child bearing / birthing, particularly. I might be going beyond (reaching) I might be wrong. I have a notion... Is all... I don't know where I formed that idea... Need to learn more...

> Back to covid and blood clots you piqued my interest in what is in those blood clots that form during the illness.

Yes. There are different kinds of antibody. IgG... IgM... IgM is for clumping? I think. Clumpy clumps of whatever it grabby grabs... I don't know how the body knows to make IgG and not IgM...

I read something today trying to explain about clumps. It didn't make sense. It prompted me. I don't make sense lolz. I'm thinking about it... How it could be inducing clumping...

Misfolded proteins... If the body starts cranking out antibodies... Maybe producing light chain and heavy chain the wrong radios then they tend to form clumps / misfold. A kind of prion disorder.

The clumps can lodge in the kidneys and the lungs. That was the first problem with Covid? What the people were actually dying of... Clots in the lungs and they found in the kidneys too... Clumps of what?? Antibody? I wondered... Misfolded antibody??

(NOt about the attaching to platelets and then resulting in platelet insufficiency -- that would result in bleeding out... NOt clumping... But yeah so much to remember... The freaking names of all the things. ALL THE THINGS. lolz).

I did not know about rashes... Hmm. I don't know about that.

It is hard to say, Phillipa. Because you do get random events. And we are talking lots of doses of all the different vaccines that have been given, now. It's like how you do hear about people being struck by lightening or whatever occasionally... But these serious side effects (all non lethal so far??) Are very very rare when you consider how many people have been vaccinated thus far.

And things could start looking different with respect to 'which is best' down the track. We just don't know...

They have all gone through an approvals process etc. They are all likely to be okay.

I have to say that the first BionTech/Pfizer shot yesterday hit me pretty hard. I didn't get a placebo, that is for sure. It is not pleasant, but I guess it will pass.

No placebos being used now trials are over. People are the animal studies. You got the real shot. And what is your age as the younger you are the stronger the side effects?
