Enigma Solution

  A number of vaccines are now out to provide immunity from the dreaded Coronavirus. The most popular are the Indian 'Covaxin' and 'Covidshield', Russia's 'Gamaleya',  American BioNTech (Pfizer) and another from Moderna. Since data on Chinese vaccines is opaque and the great controversy surrounding them they have not been considered. Considering that a brand new vaccine created for a brand new disease rushed in and out of production, It is but natural that with so much negative press, and 'expert' opinions being broadcast to us all.  India is a vaccine powerhouse with 6 manufacturers producing 60% of all global requirement. While the Indian and Russian ones use viral vector technology, the two vaccines developed by Pfizer and Moderna are "Messenger RNA" (mRNA) vaccines. Messenger RNA vaccines are new and revolutionary compared to traditional methods of vaccination. Here are 5 key points to know. What are antibodies and antigens? How do trad...

"Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less." ~ Marie Curie Usually the most ignorant, are the most fearful.  COVID-19 has scared the living daylights out of most people. Yet everyone is a self appointed expert on the subject, making rules that hamper rather than help. ______________________ About a month ago, our younger son Pavit complained of a persistent runny nose and sore throat. So Pavit got himself tested only to discover that he was COVID-19 virus positive. We consulted our family doctor who was treating some friends of ours.  He went through the reports instructed to isolate the whole family from the outside world and from Pavit within the house and to also get everyone at home tested. After testing it was discovered that everyone in the family were negative except my wife Mohini and I even though we were asymptomatic. The doctor asked us not to panic as the virus load was low and he adv...

Few people realise that the successful rebuilding of countries like Germany, Japan, after World War II, and the subsequent spectacular growth of ASEAN countries and now China  have all come about mainly due to American support and patronage. All these economies have achieved their growth and prosperity by exporting primarily to the American market made available to them by America, on favourable terms. In addition they have had access to the best technology, human resources etc. enabling them to develop on their own. Most importantly they were all financed primarily by American money and global financial capital. Thanks to America, China, over past 3 decades has received over US$ 55 trillion of funds. These include  US$ 40 trillion of mainly external debt. Capital invested in China via American and global capital markets is US$ 14 Trillion  Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in excess of US$ 1 trillion.  China is a country on steroids , mas...

World Health Organisation leadership by acts of incompetence or commission helped China spread COVOD-19 Coronavirus now known as 'CCP Virus' to the world. The billion Yuan question is 'Why did China do what it did?' The conduct of China and WHO right from early Nov 2019 till date  has been very, very negative.  Even though 6 months have passed since the first cluster of cases were reported China has staunchly refused to cooperate with the world to cope with the pandemic.  China has been destroying evidence, eliminating people possessing knowledge of the crisis, expelling all foreign media and reporters, hiding vital information and data, refusing access to facilities, scientists etc.  This behaviour reinforces global opinion that China has been deliberately spread the virus with the assistance of   WHO . China's actions have already begun to deconstruct our world irreversibly. The future of each  individual, organisation and country has beg...

Readers asked an important question, what were the chances of survival, were someone  contracted COVID-19 Coronavirus. No one really knows, but here are some facts. The factors that lead to higher chances of fatality are Age, pre-existing health issues with Cancer, Cardio vascular disease, diabetes, place of residence and work, government policies and their ability to enforce them. **Age factor** [World Health Organisation](https://www.who.int/) (WHO) reported a global ‘snapshot’ death rate of 3.4 percent. China has the most experience and The [Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention](http://www.chinacdc.cn/en/)(CCDC) reported an  age wise death rate of patients 80s  -  14.8% 70s  -     8% 60s  -   3.6% 50s  -    1.3% 49 and below 0.5% WHO reports for other countries are Italy     7% (the epicentre of the pandemic in Europe) Spain  3.1% CCDC study also shows the following fatali...

Viruses are a natural phenomenon and there are many viruses existing in nature. However when countries spend huge amounts of money to engineer viruses with the mala fide intent to attack life we have a big problem on our hands. America, China, Russia, France, UK and Israel have significant biological warfare weapons and they have enough stockpiles of these viruses to wipe out all human life a thousand times over.  SARS (2002) and MERS (2012) epidemics were viruses that escaped BSLs ( Bio Safety labs ) in China. How do the viruses escape a high security lab? Every country that designs a biological weapon also works on vaccines and treatment protocols to protect their own population. Unfortunately they have to make the biological weapon first and then can they begin development of a solution.  The solution requires conducting of trials on human volunteers or detainees, by deliberately infecting test subjects and detaining them in quarantine. Repeated trials and...

People question the lockdown of the government in an effort to contain the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic. Many people feel that it is, much ado about nothing. Is it? Here is some perspective.  500 million people (27% of total world population) were infected and an estimated 50 million people died because the 1918 influenza pandemic (Jan 1918 – December 1920; unfairly known as the Spanish flu ) involving H1N1 influenza virus.  It is estimated that the life expectancy of those who survived, was reduced by an average of 12 years.  The steps taken seem appropriate. -________________ What is not understood always induces fear.  Nowadays just a sneeze or a runny nose terrifies people. First of all, its helpful to know when to rule out COVID-19. Second, when times are tough every second person becomes an expert.  It is plain to see that the main stream media has done a much better job of educating the public than has bee...
