Natural Immunity Protects Against Severe Infection Throughout Pandemic

Study Indicates Prior Infection, Milder Strains were Protective while Vaccination Backfired and Increased Risk of Hospitalization

PETER MCCULLOUGH, MD
JAN 4, 2024

When a patient called from from 2022 forward with a new episode of COVID-19, the first thing I asked them was “have you had COVID-19 in the past?” This is such an important question because that natural immunity has been powerful in mitigating risks of future COVID-19 hospitalization.

Uuskula et al leveraged a nationwide database in Estonia to give critical information on the changing waves of COVID-19 infection:

Abstract

A large proportion of the world’s population has some form of immunity against SARS-CoV-2, through either infection (‘natural’), vaccination or both (‘hybrid’). This retrospective cohort study used data on SARS-CoV-2, vaccination, and hospitalization from national health system from February 2020 to June 2022 and Cox regression modeling to compare those with natural immunity to those with no (Cohort1, n = 94,982), hybrid (Cohort2, n = 47,342), and vaccine (Cohort3, n = 254,920) immunity.

  • In Cohort 1, those with natural immunity were at lower risk for infection during the Delta (aHR 0.17, 95%CI 0.15–0.18) and higher risk (aHR 1.24, 95%CI 1.18–1.32) during the Omicron period than those with no immunity. Natural immunity conferred substantial protection against COVID-19-hospitalization.
  • Cohort 2—in comparison to natural immunity hybrid immunity offered strong protection during the Delta (aHR 0.61, 95%CI 0.46–0.80) but not the Omicron (aHR 1.05, 95%CI 0.93–1.1) period. COVID-19-hospitalization was extremely rare among individuals with hybrid immunity.
  • In Cohort 3, individuals with vaccine-induced immunity were at higher risk than those with natural immunity for infection (Delta aHR 4.90, 95%CI 4.48–5.36; Omicron 1.13, 95%CI 1.06–1.21) and hospitalization (Delta aHR 7.19, 95%CI 4.02–12.84).
These results show that risk of infection and severe COVID-19 are driven by personal immunity history and the variant of SARS-CoV-2 causing infection.

Presentation: Statistical evidence from case series data in support of early outpatient COVID-19 treatment protocols

by Eleftherios Gkioulekas, Ph.D.
JAN 1, 2024
Transcript
On March 23, 2020, Dr. Vladimir Zelenko announced his treatment protocol for COVID-19, which consisted of risk stratifying patients as high-risk vs low-risk, and treating high-risk patients with a multi-drug therapy consisting of a 5 day treatment with hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin, and zinc sulfate.  Dr. Zelenko defined three categories of high-risk patients: (a) all patients older than 60 years; (b) patients that are immunocompromised or have comorbidities or have BMI>30kg/m2; (c) all patients not satisfying the previous two conditions that develop shortness of breath.
Dr. Zelenko’s protocol was incrementally improved by including a quercetin protocol for low-risk patients to reduce severity of symptoms, the adoption of dexamethasone and nebulized bdesonide at the beginning of May 2020, and the adoption of the blood thinner Eliquis at the end of May 2020, and the beginning of June 2020.  With these adaptations, Dr. Zelenko’s protocol evolved into what is now the well-known McCullough protocol [1].

Medical Gaslighting and Lyme Disease: The Patient Experience

Medical Gaslighting and Lyme Disease: The Patient Experience

Jennifer L. Fagen 1, *, Jeremy A. Shelton 2 and Jenna Luché-Thayer 3

Abstract:

Even though there are approximately half a million new cases of Lyme disease in the US annually, according to the CDC, it is often undiagnosed or misdiagnosed, which can result in a chronic, multisystemic condition. Lyme disease is a recognized public health threat and is a designated “notifiable disease”. As such, Lyme disease is mandated to be reported by the CDC. Despite this, both acute and chronic Lyme disease (CLD) have been relegated to the category of “contested illnesses”, which can lead to medical gaslighting. By analyzing results from an online survey of respondents with Lyme disease (n = 986), we elucidate the lived experiences of people who have been pushed to the margins of the medical system by having their symptoms attributed to mental illness, anxiety, stress, and aging. Further, respondents have had their blood tests and erythema migrans (EM) rashes discounted and were told that CLD simply does not exist. As a result, a series of fruitless consultations often result in the delay of a correct diagnosis, which has deleterious consequences. This is the first study that addresses an extensive range of gaslighting techniques experienced by this patient population.

Hygromycin A Moving to Human Trials

A NEW TREATMENT FOR LYME DISEASE

The path to discovery

In 2015, GLA funded a drug discovery program with Dr. Kim Lewis at Northeastern University, leading to the discovery of hygromycin A, an overlooked antibiotic from 1953. Fast forward to 2021, and Dr. Lewis’s lab revealed that hygromycin A is highly effective against Lyme bacteria and can potentially cure early Lyme disease and prevent chronic conditions.

Building upon this discovery, GLA proudly partnered with Dr. Lewis and Flightpath Biosciences, a biotechnology company. GLA Chief Scientific Officer Timothy Sellati, Ph.D., says, “Flightpath Biosciences will usher hygromycin A along the commercialization path, through clinical trials and FDA approval, ultimately reaching physicians.” Remarkably, not only does hygromycin A kill the Lyme bacteria in the test tube and in animal studies but unlike antibiotics such as doxycycline, it is unlikely to harm the ‘good’ bacteria in a patient’s intestines.

Today, GLA is excited to announce that hygromycin A (FP-100) is moving into the clinic in Q1 2024 for human clinical trials. CEO of Flightpath Biosciences, Matt Tindall, emphasizes, “This landmark achievement for Lyme patients could not have been reached without the kind and generous financial support of GLA and its community.” 

We eagerly anticipate progress and the road ahead, working together to bring hygromycin A (FP-100) into the hands of physicians.

**Comment**

While not diminishing the potential importance of this, it’s use in preventing or treating persistent infections was not determined.  The subset of patients with chronic debilitating symptoms continues to be ignored.

The World Knows mRNA COVID Shots Don’t Work, CDC Issues Health Advisory & FDA Releases Docs 800 Days After Approval

The world knows mRNA Covid shots have failed

Now Pfizer and Moderna shareholders know it too

ALEX BERENSON
DEC 13, 2023

All Travis Kelce’s grinning can’t save mRNA.

This morning, Pfizer disappointed investors by saying it expects sales of its mRNA Covid jab to plunge again in 2024. Annual sales of Pfizer’s shot and anti-Covid drug Paxlovid will fall 35 percent next year – on the heels of an 80 percent collapse this year.

The announcement is an embarrassment for Pfizer executives, marking the third time in only three months they have had to ratchet down expectations for Covid sales.

Investors expect public companies to be able to predict their sales at least six months to a year in advance. But collapsing mRNA demand keeps catching Pfizer off-guard.

The fall comes despite a clever ad campaign featuring Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end (now best-known as Taylor Swift’s beau).

Kelce’s “two things at once” spot encourages people to take both flu and Covid jabs at the same doctor’s visit – unsubtly linking the mRNAs with old-style inactivated virus flu shots, which have far fewer side effects.

But would-be recipients have not been fooled. While mRNA demand has collapsed, demand for flu shots remains solid (despite strong evidence of their uselessness).  (See link for article)

This shows the public still hasn’t been enlightened about the dangers of “vaccines” and/or their ineffectiveness.

But the CDC must keep the narrative alive so they just issued a health advisory over low “vaccination” rates across the U.S.  They made sure to fan the flames of fear to scare everyone into getting them.  In March of 2021 a senior official at the MHRA gave a threatening phone call and warned the Telegraph that it would be banned from future briefings and press notices if it did not soften the news regarding the causal link between the jab and blood clots after Norwegian scientists suggested a possible mechanism.  The censorship and bullying is very real, but so too is the excess deaths – particularly in relation to the heart.

Instead of being afraid of a virus with a 0.05% mortality rate that has cheap, safe, effective treatments, people should fear the mRNA gene therapy injections which have been upending lives,  are linked to severe adverse reactions including cardiac events, and even death, and are the most contaminated products on the market (all vaccines are contaminated).

And the final batch of Pfizer documents have been released by the FDA due to a FOIA lawsuit 800 days after their approval, proving this was never about efficacy and safety.  The FDA knew about vaccine-associated enhanced disease (VAED) in the vaccinated who experience breakthrough COVID-19, and that cardiac disorders were higher in the “vaccine” trial group, compared to the control group. They also knew about numerous manufacturing issues and inadequacies in quality oversight with several batches flagged for deviating from product quality standards, yet were released anyway with batch numbers redacted.  This 5 minute video explains how if there would have been full-reporting of deaths, the shots would never have been approved.

They simply do not care.

They are too busy harassing nutraceutical companies, which was exposed by an exonerated doctor who refused to take their bribes so he could speak out about government agency corruption.

Important excerpts from Alex Berenson’s article:

Imagine you were about to take the Novavax Covid jab, which consists of purified coronavirus spike protein. (I know, you’re not, but work with me.)

Now imagine that as the nurse was about to put the needle in your arm, she said, Look, the purification process wasn’t perfect, you’re getting 92 percent spike protein, but there’s 8 percent other proteins too. We don’t know exactly what they are, but we don’t think they’re a problem, so I’m just gonna go ahead, you’ll feel a little prick –

How fast are you walking away?

For three years, Pfizer (and its partner BioNTech) and Moderna have largely stonewalled any questions about their jabs. Why wouldn’t they? They have protection from lawsuits, and the media and regulators have not just given up their responsibility as watchdogs but become close to co-promoters of the shots.

For more on “vaccines:”

Lastly, if you still haven’t seen the documentaries “Vaxxed: From Cover-up to Catastrophe,” and “Vaxxed 2,” you owe it to yourself, your family and friends to view it, as it will open your eyes to the entire ugly “vaccination” paradigm.  Also, listen to this 9 Minute video of CDC whistleblower Dr. William Thompson explain the scientific fraud regarding a link between vaccines and autism, as well as the dark history of syphilis.
