    Interesting opinion: Doctors should be allowed to give priority to vaccinated patients when resources are scarce

    First labeling people ‘anti-vaccine mob’ is a bit shallow, there are people who are not opposed to vaccines but are hesitant to take this particular vaccine. Why are some people hesistant? 1. The shots have not undergone long term testing 2. There lacks clarity on the nature and extent of...

    Buyer’s Remorse

    She lied to many then, coz it was a whole webinar. I know you’ve mentioned flu vaccines are recommended semi-annually, do you actually give them to people at that frequency generally or is it a case by case context. Also, are the flu vaccines useful in Kenya, in the sense that most people I...

    Inside the Shadowy World of Disinformation-for-hire in Kenya.

    This is true and observable in people with a bias. And since most people have a bias, we should always look in the mirror.

    Interesting opinion: Doctors should be allowed to give priority to vaccinated patients when resources are scarce

    Actually I mean Covid when I say the flu. Its true that we have varying numbers of people requiring critical care between the vaccinated vs unvaccinated. The question is, if you have two people needing critical care one vaccinated and one unvaccinated (meaning both have ended up at the same...

    Ruto convoy ejected from Naromoru Town

    Mipango gani? I’ve heard him ask, “have you planned Chaka?” That question doesn’t allude to planing anything wrong or unlawful. Basically it could be anything. Maybe you could give more pointers or a longer video of him making actual plans for the demos we’ve seen in the first video.

    Interesting opinion: Doctors should be allowed to give priority to vaccinated patients when resources are scarce

    Washington post article I’m going to come right out and say it: In situations where hospitals are overwhelmed and resources such as intensive care beds or ventilators are scarce, vaccinated patients should be given priority over those who have refused vaccination without a legitimate medical or...

    Buyer’s Remorse

    I asked a doctor about the flu booster shots and why I’ve never gotten one. Apparently, it’s given to people at the cold areas only in western countries not in Africa or Kenya. Maybe I can ask, in Kenyan context,do you give flu booster shots annually? i‘ve also not gotten any booster shots...

    The Blood–Brain Barrier: interesting insights into why you lose smell and taste

    With due respect, your recommendation is unhelpful. A specific topic or research area in immunology and relating to the BBB would be more precise and helpful.

    Hii curfew itolewe, kwani ni kesho

    Maybe ni Mimi sielewi but I’m really unable to connect your response to the gist of the thread. from my understanding, the gist of the thread is ‘let’s do away with curfew, it’s not enforced and is discriminatory to some extent I.e some People can flout the curfew and it’s related rules...

    WHO Guidelines for the Vaccine Passport

    I was checking out the TB vaccination and saw it is the BCG vaccine given to kids when very young. Maybe I can ask, do the TB patients you encounter have underlying diseases that render their BCG vax ineffective e.g HIV which is associated with higher cases of TB - coz it lowers your general...

    WHO Guidelines for the Vaccine Passport

    I read about something called sterilizing immunity. It’s where once you get a disease and form antibodies the disease cannot replicate within your body and hence you can’t be infected once immunized. In the example of chicken pox, once you get it for the first time your body is able to produce...

    The Blood–Brain Barrier: interesting insights into why you lose smell and taste

    Blood vessels are critical to deliver oxygen and nutrients to all of the tissues and organs throughout the body. The blood vessels that vascularize the central nervous system (CNS) possess unique properties, termed the blood–brain barrier, which allow these vessels to tightly regulate the...

    WHO Guidelines for the Vaccine Passport

    Hi @Luther12 Maybe it’d be nice to hear from you at more detail, from your understanding of the current vaccines (not generally all vaccines but this particular one); what is its specific benefit in terms of prevention of transmission and prevention of infection (I.e what’s it’s benefit to...

    WHO Guidelines for the Vaccine Passport

    And this is the thing, why do I need protection if I am able to see what the ravages of Covid can do. It is important to let people take responsibility for their actions or inactions. Natural selection always takes it course. Otherwise, society become a kid and the government (a group of men...

    WHO Guidelines for the Vaccine Passport

    My freedom ends At the point where the vax can confer sterilizing immunity I.e prevent transmission and infection and also be tested and proven to be without long term adverse effects. At that point it becomes clear that those not injected actually expose others to disease.
