Covid 19 Vaccine Protection Wanes After 6 Months Especially For J J

The November study, published in Science, examined COVID-19 infection and deaths by vaccination status of more than 780,000 U.S. Veterans. Researchers from the Public Health Institute, the Veterans Affairs Medical Center, and the University of Texas Health Science Center compared the vaccine’s effectiveness in March to that in September.

Covid 19 Vaccines Appear Effective Against Key Variants Of Concern

In a letter published last week in the New England Journal of Medicine, researchers report that the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine was about 90% effective at preventing infections caused by the B.1.1.7 variant. The variant, which now accounts for two-thirds of the cases in the U.S., is highly infectious. Perhaps more significant is that against the B.1.351 variant, which scientists have worried is capable of evading most immune response, the vaccines protect against 75% of all infection....

Covid Vaccine Hesitancy Leads Congo To Return 1.3M Doses To Covax

John Nkengasong, director of the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told reporters that Congo has been unable to distribute its AstraZeneca vaccine doses from COVAX and that there is a five-week period to have them transported to other countries. Matshidiso Moeti, the director of the World Health Organization in Africa, said Congo’s decision was “extremely wise of the government to make this estimation.” Nkengasong urged that if other African countries discover they are unable to administer their vaccine doses, they should not wait but hand them back since countries in North America and Europe have “the luxury” of vaccine options, unlike African countries....

Covid Vaccines And Infection Offer Similar Protection Study Finds

In a recent study, published in Nature Immunology, scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Tennessee, evaluated how vaccination and infection with COVID-19 affect the immune system. While they found some differences in the immune response when a person got COVID-19 before vaccination versus after, it did not necessarily mean people with natural immunity had a better response. In fact, researchers confirmed that immunity by infection is not better than getting vaccinated against COVID-19 since both produced similar T-cell responses....

Cowboys 2016 Success Makes Jerry Jones A Lock For Hall Of Fame

But what his franchise is currently doing on the field this season sure isn’t hurting Jones’ cause. HOF selectors will gather in Houston to choose next year’s class on Feb. 4, which is the day before Super Bowl 51. Those voters on the fence about Jones may very well find themselves swayed if the Cowboys are playing for their fourth Lombardi Trophy in his 28 years as team owner and the first since the Jimmy Johnson/Barry Switzer era ended two decades ago....

Cracks Are Appearing In Earth S Magnetic Field As The Equinox Approaches

According to spaceweather.com, this is called the Russell-McPherron effect, with cracks in the magnetic field letting more solar wind pass through during the equinoxes, i.e. during the spring and fall equinoxes, where both the day and night are the same length. “The Rusell-McPherron effect is more of a geometrical effect to do with the orientation of the solar wind’s magnetic field and that of the Earth. There is always a cusp or open region of the Earth’s magnetic field around the north and south poles so the ‘cracks’ are permanent,” Ciaran Beggan, a geophysicist from the British Geological Survey, told Newsweek....
