Covid Scotland: Case rates lowest in unvaccinated as double-jabbed elderly drive rise in hospital admissions
Mukhang may problema talaga ang mga vaccines. Hindi na nga nabibigay ang protection, pinapahina pa ang immune system DOUBLE-JABBED Scots are now more likely to be admitted to hospital with Covid than the unvaccinated amid an increase in elderly people falling ill due to waning immunity. It comes amid "weird" data showing that case rates have been lower in unvaccinated individuals than the single, double, or even triple-jabbed since Omicron became the dominant variant in Scotland, reports our sister title The Herald. The counterintuitive data from Public Health Scotland (PHS) contradicts previous pandemic trends which have consistently shown infection, hospitalisation and death rates to be highest among the unvaccinated. However...

On Instagram, Aquino shared photos and videos of her being given medical treatment for her autoimmune conditions. “Inamin ko na malayo sa okay ang kalusugan ko… pero ginagawa pa rin namin ang lahat ng kakayanin sa ngayon, para makatulong sa kapwa,” she wrote.

Vaccine is useless at stopping transmission
Source with all the citations https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-risk-of-vaccinated-covid-transmission-is-not-low/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8481107/ My two-year-old tested positive for COVID last month. My mind-numbing and costly project to keep him uninfected prior to his vaccinations had proven an abject failure. I was angry—and surprised. During the time he was likely infected, he had only been around vaccinated people when indoors. Although we know the absolute risk of serious illness in young children is low, there are many other causes for concern as a result of unvaccinated infection: multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C, long COVID, silent organ or brain damage, psychiatric or chronic...

US cops who ditched robbery call for Pokemon Go hunt fired
LOS ANGELES — Two US police officers who went off to hunt for Pokemon instead of responding to a robbery have been fired. Louis Lozano and Eric Mitchell cruised the streets searching for fantastic creatures in the augmented reality smartphone game, documents show, bagging a relatively rare Snorlax, as well as a difficult-to-trap Togetic — but no criminals. In-car recording of their conversation revealed that they had heard the call for help at the Los Angeles department store, but decided instead to drive off. “Officer Mitchell alerted Lozano that ‘Snorlax’ ‘just popped up’,” legal documents relating to their dismissal show. “For approximately the next 20 minutes, the (recording) captured petitioners discussing Pokemon as they drove...

Crypto group wants to revive Blockbuster as a streaming service
Back in the days before streaming, Blockbuster, which originally opened in 1985, became the premier provider of home movie and video game rental services around the world. At its peak, there were more than 9,000 Blockbusters worldwide, with 83,000-plus employees, catering to people looking for the latest movie to rent for the weekend. Unfortunately, competition from Netflix’s mail-order service, video-on-demand, and automated kiosks, led to the video rental franchise’s decline and the company eventually filed for bankruptcy in 2010. However, rumors online point to the possibility of the former video rental chain making a comeback in the form of a new streaming service that would run on blockchain. As reported by Movieweb, a Crypto...
