OMICRON VARIANT IS REAL. STAY SAFE. GET VACCINATED.
Marami akong nakikita na mga pinoy na kabayan natin na hindi parin nagpapabakuna. Walang masama na magpa bakuna, dito sa UAE, 4 dose pa ang natanggap ko. Thankfully wala akong side effects na malala na nakuha. Pero yung wife ko nagkaron ng pain somewhere under her underarm. Pag nagpabakuna kayo, eto ang mga common na side effects Fever at least 1-2 days Headache Pain sa injection site Pain sa underarm Normally yang mga side effects na yan naglalast from 2-5 days pero bearable naman. Maging safe tayong lahat lalo na ngayon na mas malala yung omicron na variant ng virus at expect pa na magkaron ng other variant yun dahil sa mutation.
New studies show that the COVID vaccines damage your immune system, likely permanently
Ito pala reason kung bakit karamihan ng maysakit ngayon ay vaccinated The vaccines are making it more likely you'll be infected with Omicron 90 days after you are fully vaccinated. To keep vaccine effectiveness high against omicron, vaccination every 30 days is needed. Update Jan 7, 2022: The numbers in the Denmark study described below are now confirmed by government data from Germany showing that vaccinated people are 8X more likely to develop Omicron than unvaccinated people. This is not surprising since a paper from Germany showed the same thing: the more you vaccinate, the worse it gets. Worried about Omicron? Guess what? After 90 days, the vaccine they gave you is going to make you MORE likely to get infected from Omicron...
Mga Type O mahirap mahawaan ng COVID
Tumambay lang ako sa reddit then nabasa ko isang post at dami nagkokoment na hindi sila nahawaan ng covid dahil type O sila maski di sila nagsusuot ng mask at unvaxxed. Then nagshare sila ng scientific study. That means backed by science ito. Mga type O na tulad ko, swerte natin Heto link ng article https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8286549/ "The authors found that individuals with type O blood were less likely to contract SARS-CoV-2 compared with non–type O blood groups." "Type O individuals were at decreased risk compared to non–type O individuals with regard to secondary outcomes, such as severe illness and death"
The Johnny Depp thriller that's soaring into Netflix's charts
When we think of Johnny Depp, our mind instantly teleports to Pirates of the Caribbean, Edward Scissorhands, or Alice in Wonderland. With that, we sometimes forget about Depp’s previous work like The Ninth Gate, for example. However, thanks to the beauty of Netflix, we can now revisit some of our favourite performers in their more unusual flicks. The Ninth Gate, a 1999 film directed by Roman Polanksi, Depp portrays a collector that hunts rare books, and ultimately gets wound up hunting a book that holds the secret to summoning the Devil. One wouldn’t class this film as one of his best, but it’s clear that Depp’s backing and support from fans has pushed this mediocre neo-noir thriller to the top of the Netflix most-watched lists in a...
India Sells Antiship Missiles to the Philippines as Concern Over China Grows
Philippines to acquire missile system from India for $375 mln MANILA, Jan 15 (Reuters) - The Philippines has finalised a deal to acquire a shore-based anti-ship missile system from India for nearly $375 million to beef up its navy, the Southeast Asian nation's defence minister said.

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...

MANILA—Actress-host Kris Aquino said Wednesday she has a “long battle” ahead of her when it comes to her health, as well as mending her broken heart. 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...
