No Increased Stroke Risk Linked to Pfizer’s Covid Boosters, Federal Officials Say

Posted on January 14, 2023 by weehingthong

Federal health officials investigated what initially appeared an apparent uptick in stroke risk among people 65 & older who got Pfizer’s latest booster. But an analysis showed the risk to be a mere mirage. There's no elevated stroke risk linked to the shot https://t.co/WPYrQLQbER

Following an analysis of vaccine surveillance data, the @CDCgov and the @US_FDA say they have found no evidence of an increased risk of ischemic stroke among people 65 and older who received Pfizer’s #COVID19 bivalent booster. https://t.co/cn4dPYxgf8

Reposting a thread by Alastair McAlpine MD on John Campbell’s “Immunology 101”

For those who think @Johnincarlisle is doing it for the community service, this income exceeds even the income of most US physicians. https://t.co/kH38DxT1Vy

Sure, John!
So many errors, hard to know where to begin.
3:59 – vaccine not tested in humans (❌)
4:25 – The response is like autoimmune disease (❌)
4:54 – Vaccines are gene therapy (❌)
5:44 – No control of amount of antigen (❌)
8:11 – Cells contain reverse transcriptase (❌) https://t.co/F6GZCMbWlF
— Alastair McAlpine, MD (@AlastairMcA30) January 14, 2023

Thank you Doctor. Please give one example from this video where we have got the science wrong?
— John Campbell (@Johnincarlisle) January 14, 2023

9:54 – Registered as experimental (❌)
12:17 – mRNA regenerates (❌)
15:54 – Cervical adenitis from migrating immune cells (❌)
17:00 – Can’t control dose (❌)

Etc etc

This is appalling misinformation.
— Alastair McAlpine, MD (@AlastairMcA30) January 14, 2023

Had to stop halfway because I’m busy and it’s clear neither man knows what they’re talking about.

I assume John will ignore this (despite asking for it).

He ignores all substantive criticism of his work.

Wow, this is quite a jump! #CCP says today that 59,938 people died of # COVID-related diseases in all hospitals in #China from Dec 8 to Jan 12. But only 5503 died directly from #COVID. All others had underlying issues. Average age of the dead is 80.3 years old.

it's just cases recorded in healthcare facilities so it doesn't account for the covid related deaths that occurred at home, in care homes or those who were never diagnosed. but it's at least a step forward that they are releasing a number.https://t.co/yGis28t1Mq

China’s gov has been criticised for a very narrow definition of Covid death that excluded underlying diseases (& made China’s death rate appear far far lower than other countries). But these figures include deaths from people with both Covid & other diseases. Average age is 80.3

#China reports 59,938 #COVID19 deaths between December 8 and January 12: https://t.co/4d8uwbRnG0. Modeling suggests between 1 to 2 million #Chinese will succumb to the disease this winter. Pray for the victims.

China said Saturday that it had recorded nearly 60,000 fatalities from Covid-19 in the month since the country lifted its strict “zero Covid” policy. It had previously reported a total of only 5,241 Covid-related deaths since the start of the pandemic. https://t.co/ljIf4gCeeu

KFC Thailand withdraws fried chicken incense sticks for CNY

Posted on January 14, 2023 by weehingthong

1. KFC Thailand came under controversy this week, after it announced that it would be launching fried chicken incense sticks for Chinese New Year.

According to its social media posts, each box has 11 sticks, which combine scents from 11 herbs and spices. pic.twitter.com/gaH5i5lPBP

3. However, the posts attracted heavy criticism online, with many saying it was culturally inappropriate.

The company has since taken down its posts on the new product across all its social media platforms.
