German scientists claim they can help prevent blood clots from COVID-19 vaccines

German scientists claim they can help prevent blood clots from COVID-19 vaccines
May 27 2021 Share

A team of German scientists have allegedly isolated the culprit behind why some people who were given AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson vaccines develop blood clots. Claiming they can tell manufacturers how to improve the vaccine to avoid this potentially life-threatening but rare instance, the scientists stated that the key is in the adenovirus.

This common cold virus is sued to deliver the spike protein of the COVID-19 virus into the body. The mRNA vaccines developed by Pfizer BioNTech and Moderna do not use this delivery system and there have been no reports of blood clots linked to these jabs.

In a pre-print which has not yet undergone peer review, the scientists claim that the problem lies in the adenovirus’ entry into the nucleus. J&J is allegedly already in contact with the team of scientists, despite other medical experts stating that the idea is still a hypothesis.

US intelligence to intensify COVID-19 origins study

US intelligence to intensify COVID-19 origins study
May 27 2021 Share

President Joe Biden has ordered US intelligence to input more into studying the origins of COVID-19. The US President added that China will be pressed into participating in a full investigation of the pandemic’s unsure origin. Despite having received an alleged up-to-date analysis of the origins of COVID-19, he asked US intelligence to redouble efforts and come to a definitive conclusion as to how the transmission occurred.

The virus was first detected in Wuhan, China in late 2019. Ever since then, it took the world by storm and killing 3.5 million people and infecting around 168 million. Biden’s administration is putting pressure on China to be transparent about the outbreak. Biden’s request also involved asking the intelligence to investigate the unlikely possibility of COVID-19 being traced back to Chinese laboratories, a concept which Biden has so far minimised its credibility as a fringe conspiracy theory.

Malta to reach over half a million COVID-19 doses administered mark

Malta to reach over half a million COVID-19 doses administered mark
May 27 2021 Share

Deputy Prime Minister and Health Minister Chris Fearne announced today on social media platforms that Malta will be reaching over half a million COVID-19 doses administered. That puts the vaccination rollout at 500,000 doses administered, with 200,000 people having received both doses of the vaccine.

The successful vaccination rollout has led to the easing of measures, easing of pressure on Malta’s healthcare systems and even a massive decrease in COVID-19 spread and deaths. With over-16s being able to apply for their vaccine, Malta has also become the first EU country to reach herd immunity.
