Time to Change!

Yes, it is time for change in many ways and on many levels. Next week we will have changed time and leaped forward an hour...except not all.

Most of Arizona hasn’t observed Daylight Saving Time since 1968. Hawaii abandoned the Uniform Time Act a year before Arizona, in 1967, simply because of its relative proximity to the equator, which makes Daylight Saving Time unnecessary. The sun rises and sets around the same time each day in Hawaii, making the idea of springing forward and falling back redundant. A handful of U.S. territories also don’t observe Daylight Saving Time for essentially the same reasons as Hawaii — ample sunshine throughout the day. These places include Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

The real change we need isn't adjusting our clocks, but redesigning our entire system...the capitalist, consumer based, polluting, militaristic, manipulative and controlling system. They won't change, so we have to adapt to some sort of new normal and take care of ourselves and others.

The response to the COVID pandemic is a perfect example of US dysfunction, and provides lessons to how we can act on own to protect ourselves from the unraveling of the social fabric. Everyone made mistakes. I remember being concerned bringing in groceries and other items into the house, but of course now we know this disease spreads through the air not on surfaces. In the US we still have thousands a day dying of COVID, and we continue to refuse to use effective treatments. Another woman had to sue the hospital to allow for the use of ivermectin. (8 min)

Many doctors are now using these therapies despite the lack of FDA approval. Remember the FDA is basically run by big pharma...and its recommendations are based more on potential profit than sound medicine and health advice.

Here's a few stories...

So despite all the deaths and anecdotal doctor results, you need to see controlled studies? Well those exist...
Here's an hour long conversation reviewing an array of global studies.

Here's a single study involving 1000's with the success of ivermectin as a preventative

Good news. Ivermectin is effective against the new variants.

South Africa Variant (B.1.351)

NY Variant (B.1.526)
Here's a good explanation of the variants.

More virulent strains of COVID-19 threaten spring surge
https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2021/03/06/viru-m06.html

I'm still not hearing a big push for Vitamin D. There are now control studies proving its positive effect in helping to cure COVID resulting in 93% fewer ICU admissions
https://www.ippmedia.com/en/features/first-clinical-trial-support-vitami...

Vaccines have become the holy grail of COVID salvation.
They are very effective.
This study in a nationwide mass vaccination setting suggests that the Pfizer BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine is effective for a wide range of Covid-19–related outcomes, a finding consistent with that of the randomized trial.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNCrzOl2PfA (29 min with notes)

The problem is not that the good news isn’t being reported, or that we should throw caution to the wind just yet. It’s that neither the reporting nor the public-health messaging has reflected the truly amazing reality of these vaccines. There is nothing wrong with realism and caution, but effective communication requires a sense of proportion—distinguishing between due alarm and alarmism; warranted, measured caution and doombait; worst-case scenarios and claims of impending catastrophe. We need to be able to celebrate profoundly positive news while noting the work that still lies ahead. However, instead of balanced optimism since the launch of the vaccines, the public has been offered a lot of misguided fretting over new virus variants, subjected to misleading debates about the inferiority of certain vaccines, and presented with long lists of things vaccinated people still cannot do, while media outlets wonder whether the pandemic will ever end.

https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/02/how-public-health-mess...

It is interesting that the Oxford AZ vaccine still hasn't been approved in the US. It is almost like the $30 a dose vaccines are preferred over the $3 not for profit oxford jab. The J & J vaccines has been approved and should roll out shortly. Just one shot required.
https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2021/03/04/973436193/got-quest...

We are left to our own to determine our own course through the pandemic.
Since last spring we've been taking hefty doses of vitamin D. Although I bought some ivermectin we did not use it as a preventative, but intended to use it if we developed symptoms. Next week we will get our second Moderna shot. Everyone has to evaluate their own approach to these vaccines.

The US for profit sick care system needs to change.

So does our insane foreign policy...

CA changing to The Black Knight approach vax distribution

Thanks for the jam packed Weekly Watch Lookout, a smorgasbord for Sunday before it gets too sunny today. Then I will be down in the dirt patch. Right now it is brr cold with a thin coat of frost on the rooftops, but the sun is rising. Have a good one. cheers

Dirt Patch #4
---
I give up figuring out what level I'm on for the vaccine here, it was C1 under 65 years old, maybe that changed too. The economy level is still purple but moving toward red. I read Newsom said "you're just dumb and can't follow how complex the whole show is, because I watch it every day with my own fine eyes... so there." Okay? That was a paraphrase.

California upends how it’s divvying up scarce vaccines

“The state’s new approach is the right step to stop the bleeding and affirm that Californians of color are not collateral damage but the catalysts to recovery. California has a responsibility to those communities to get them help first and fast,” said Sonja Diaz, founding director of the UCLA Latino Policy and Politics Initiative.

"Come back here and take what's coming to you, I'll bite your legs off!"

I'd like to thank my brothers and sisters in Southern California for going first, and hope like hell the new and improved floor wax works better than the last coat. Some discounts may apply.

The communities receiving the 40% encompass 400 of the state’s ZIP codes, largely in Los Angeles County, the Inland Empire and the Central Valley, based on their low scores on the “Healthy Places Index,” which measures criteria such as income, education, park access, air pollution and housing.

Ghaly said about 1.6 million doses already have been administered to the underserved communities that the state is now targeting. So now those communities will receive at least 400,000 doses more in the next two weeks, double the current supply.

People in those ZIP codes must still meet eligibility requirements before they can be vaccinated — at this point, people 65 and older, health care workers, educators and some other essential workers.

Hope it is fun as well as lovely.

To vax or not to vax? Is that the question? I understand people's doubt cause whenever they push things it usually isn't good. My primary motivation for vaxing was to allow for music sessions.

We called our county health office. They were booked out but recommended a local DR with a supply. We signed up and get our 2nd dose Thurs. Will report effects next Sunday.

Till then have a good one. Play in the dirt patch!

Rich people jumped to the front of the line

@The Voice In the Wilderness sorry, that's what I get for paraphrasing. Because I hate Newsom the way he makes me feel sometimes. Rotten. Here's what he said there, the actual quote:

Newsom described how he was at a public housing site in East Los Angeles that has mostly Latino residents and saw “Audis pull up, folks that look like me” at a popup FEMA vaccine site for the neighborhood. “What happened is there was a code that went out on the app that was shared outside of the community… We’re seeing that in other parts of the state.”

Newsom must be taking advice from Bill Gates, that's what I think. I hate both equally, so there. heh

To resolve this, Newsom said “instead of having group codes, we’re now doing individual scheduled codes to make that more challenging and create more burdens and obstacles for people abusing that privilege.”

After all, what is government for?
But to:
Make that more challenging;
Create more burdens;
and obstacles, continuing on.

He didn't say "rich people" out loud he said "people who look like me" and rich people come in all colors. I'm thinking this is a class war, and I am tired of the same old wars. This is the best they can do at the state level I guess. I don't think rich people are going to solve any problem of inequality, they are the ones who create it. me duh

Poppies, sunflowers, and Evening Primrose

@magiamma hi, yeah those three sunflowers I planted late and they over wintered, now blooming. But also they got the powdery mildew problem, thus the neem application. Bad timing for that before it rained, but it worked okay I might try again on the other leaves after this next rain. Thinned again yesterday, there are twelve sunflowers, ten primrose, and eight poppies. Plus more sprouts... yikes.

I reconfigured the thingamajigger to run east west, the flowers on the upper cardboard terrace, and veggies on the lower patch with a path between them. I made half the dirt for the upper parts this year, woo-hoo Many many earthworms.

I hardly remember eden last year, it was pretty good before it wasn't. haha Thanks again for the comfrey!

She and I are the two most non-huggie people our group and omg, yes, it was amazing. An actual hug. lol, and so good to see her face when she was talking. JFC how long has it been? Right?

I guess we will see if there are any long term issues from the vaccine but all system go for the time being. Thinking my endorphins will scare away any bad vibes. heh. I did have a heck of a night but having an immune reaction is good. And now I can hang w my vaccinated friends and family. It was worth it.

“rigorous data has been lacking”

@ggersh
for ALL of the COVID vaccines currently being administered. That’s the reason for the liability waivers and Emergency Use Authorizations.

There’s an extraordinary profit motive in billions of $30 vaccine jabs. The same can not be said for Ivermectin, which has been widely used for years and has an excellent safety history and has been fully tested and approved for treating parasitic infections for decades. The fact that not for profit vaccine competitors are also being widely disparaged and held to a different standard for EUA’s drives home the point that it’s not about protecting humans, it’s about protecting profits.

Good luck with your effort to find your J&J/Janssen dose. Take the time to learn the particulars of your state’s allocation and distribution system so that when vaccine does become available and your turn comes you will be ready and able to navigate the system successfully.

It’s sad that so many who expect their government to be effectively looking out for their best interest are likely to be sorely disappointed.

There have been randomized, controlled

Studies of ivermectin. It showed no benefit. Common sense leads you to believe these studies over anecdotes. It is a pesticide used to kill parasites in animals. Covid-19 is a virus.

I agree with you about the news. We have several great vaccines against Covid.they are safe and they work very well. Media talks about variants and worries aloud that the vaccines might not work as well against them. And yet, the people saying these things are probably all either vaccinated or trying to be. They need to get a conscience.

We'll have to agree to disagree

@Granma

What studies are you citing that show ivermectin isn't an effective treatment? By far the majority have positive results. There is bias against the studies because they come from 3rd world countries. You have suggested I don't respect science, but I've been citing lots of studies. Is it the NYT piece that GG cited? Cause big pharma has a big advertising budget with them.

My point is thousands a day are dying from this disease in the US alone. Here is, at a minimum, a promising treatment. It has been used for decades and even won a Nobel prize. It has been proven safe. What is the harm? The benefits are great. Many doctors and patients claim success. But FDA says no?

Think it's the same everywhere. They are doing vaccines for 65 and under irrc. The phone system has a recording when you pick it up telling people to get vaccinated and to ignore the rumors. So there's that.

My understanding ivermectin is a common treatment in India.
In India, ivermectin has been distributed through kiosks since last August.

IF you trust Indian statistics. If Indian Science is anything like Indian Engineering, I'm not betting my life on it.

In rebuttal to my own remark, "Do I trust Big Pharma studies?"
No, I do not. I fully expect the to fudge the data just like Big Tobacco and all the other companies that lawyers are pursuing today.

EDIT:
Are their any studies on the Sputnik vaccine? Not that I trust the Russian government but there should be European studies of it by now.

in India. It may well be bc of the ivermectin. She will get vaccinated soon and is taking strong precautions. It may also be in addition genetic? Just read that somewhere. No idea.

She also said that here now we are not sending the raw materials to India for vaccine production UNLESS they send us all the vaccine back so we can be FIRST. India is the biggest producer of vaccine in the world apparently. They have a remarkable health system if you are higher cast / have money. The changes there are happening fast - as in they have developed a coherent middle class within the last 20 years. And the changes are marked from year to year, per my friend who visits and teaches there every summer.

The US demand is in a word, bullshit. Is India the jewel in Biden's crown?

I've worked with quite a few Indian engineers. Most were competent. None were outstanding. Many I consider personal friends. I don't ascribe this to any genetic fault. Look at S. Chandrasekhar the astrophysicist who wrote "The Structure and Evolution of Stars" while crossing the equator on a ship from India to England because it was too hot to sleep. What I do ascribe it to is becoming an engineer for money. A real engineer can't keep his hands off hardware (or software). In the words of an outstanding gifted engineer that i know "And they pay me! I'd do it for free if I had too."
Another argument for UBI.

Worked with a lot of Indian engineers too. Some very good. Many of the folks I worked with back in the day are now renown, none are Indian. Though there are a lot of Indians in uppe management now. There was and may still be a movement to hire Indian engineers here in the Valley for less thus moving those that had the jobs for years out. I have not been working for a while now but think things are not so very different.

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - A temporary U.S. ban on exports of critical raw materials could limit the production of coronavirus vaccines by companies such as the Serum Institute of India (SII), its chief executive said in a World Bank panel discussion https://www.worldbank.org/en/events/2020/12/14/7th-south-asia-economic-p... on Thursday.

SII, the world's biggest vaccine maker, has licensed the AstraZeneca/Oxford University product and will soon start bulk-manufacturing the Novavax shot.

https://news.yahoo.com/indian-vaccine-giant-sii-warns-130145827.html

Also:

After Covishield and Covaxin, Sputnik V may become the third vaccine to be approved in India as Dr Reddy's Laboratories has approached the Drugs Controller General of India for emergency use approval. Pfizer too had sought approval in December but what keeps Sputnik V ahead of Pfizer is that it conducted trials in India whereas Pfizer's application was based on trials conducted elsewhere.

It's a big pharma club...

CA passed a law to ignore DST, but it was't clear or conclusive as to whether to be normal all year or to go to year round DST, which a lot of folks advocate because dunno, so maybe we'll need an initiative or legislation on that - crazy times, as they say.

Highlights
•
Ivermectin is an inhibitor of the COVID-19 causative virus (SARS-CoV-2) in vitro.

•
A single treatment able to effect ~5000-fold reduction in virus at 48 h in cell culture.

•
Ivermectin is FDA-approved for parasitic infections, and therefore has a potential for repurposing.

•
Ivermectin is widely available, due to its inclusion on the WHO model list of essential medicines.

Abstract
Although several clinical trials are now underway to test possible therapies, the worldwide response to the COVID-19 outbreak has been largely limited to monitoring/containment. We report here that Ivermectin, an FDA-approved anti-parasitic previously shown to have broad-spectrum anti-viral activity in vitro, is an inhibitor of the causative virus (SARS-CoV-2), with a single addition to Vero-hSLAM cells 2 h post infection with SARS-CoV-2 able to effect ~5000-fold reduction in viral RNA at 48 h. Ivermectin therefore warrants further investigation for possible benefits in humans.

well, ok, so why not self testing if further testing is warranted?? Heh. Full article available as download (.pdf) at link.

be well and have a good one

As to ivermectin, we knew this in April 2020. We didn't do the controlled study we say we need and then say 3rd world studies don't count? Hell, we say UK studies don't count and still have not approved the Oxford AZ vaccine.

It is a blatant and obvious as can be that this pandemic is manged for profit. Kinda like our wars, energy system, and so on.

I’m days away from the J&J “one-and-done” jab!

@ggersh
The small number of ANY available COVID vaccines in our State has us limited to administering to 65 and over, frontline health workers and multi risk factor younger folk. I had to log in at 4am to the registration portal and wait until the noon “release” to secure my appointment. All 1,200 appointments were filled in a matter of minutes while many seekers languished in the virtual “waiting room” for their turn to begin the application process. (The “virtual waiting room” was created to keep the registration portal from crashing repeatedly by limiting access.)

The next morning I checked into the registration portal early, to find that the entire State had NO OPEN APPOINTMENT SLOTS FOR ANY BRAND OF COVID VACCINE.

THE ENTIRE STATE.

NONE.

Vaccine Questions

Since you have marked this as an open thread, I'd like to ask some questions that I couldn't find on line after two plus hours of googling.

1. All the covid vaccines are labeled by the Feds (CDC? Health Department?) as "Experimental" but "Approved for emergency use". Q What is the normal time interval for an experimental vaccine to be no longer considered "experimental" and to be approved for general use if that is a separate thing?

2. If I understand this correctly. The mRNA vaccines are 90% effective but only studied against the original Wuhan virus. The J&J conventional vaccine is 60% effective but was tested against the South African and California/Mexico variants as well. Q Is there a breakdown of the effectiveness vs the three variants separately.

I'm not an anti-vaxxer. I've had maybe a dozen(?) vaccinations. But I regret having advised my youngest grandson to follow his pediatrician's advice and be vaccinated with Gardisil. He was 17 not quite 18 and just wanted to avoid shots. Now, I read, that my advice may mean no great-grandchildren.

The Catholic church is opposing the J&J vaccine because it is based on a genetic line from cells retrieved from an aborted fetus. Isn't a good thing that that little life was sacrificed to save others, even though that was not the reason for the abortion? BTW, I was a paying member of NARAL before they endorsed Hillary for President. Maybe I shouldn't have penned this paragraph.

...is ALL the vaccines are 100% effective against severe COVID. Most of the docs I trust say get whichever one you can. If I had my druthers, I would choose the J&J, but I got what I could (Moderna).

Oh no, I'm gonna die! As though I wasn't before?

@Lookout

Oh no, I'm gonna die! As though I wasn't before?

I'm mainly concerned with side effects emerging later. As the roster of covid patients wh survived with no apparent ill effects grows, including my 84 year old brother-ln-law, I'm losing fear of covid. But I haven't lost my fear of Bill Gates and Big Pharma. I'm very interested in J&J and Sputnik (will never be approved here, Russiagate) as they are conventional vaccines. Might take an mRNA vaccine 20 years from now, but doubt that I'll be alive then.

It seems if a patient dies with covid and something else, it's listed as a covid death. My father had Parkinson's and died of pneumonia. You will never convince me that Parkinson's wasn't the cause. Pre-civid, pneumonia was the leading cause of death (officially) in the USA. Yes, we both have had our pneumonia vaccines. I think there were two different pneumonia vaccines. But this whole business is incredibly rushed (understandably) and Fauci is an admitted liar. How a medical doctor can admit he lied because a politician (Trump) forced him to and not hang his head in shame... Alligator Ed would have resigned first, I'm sure.

BTW, Bob's memory has gotten bad, but he's 84 and been in a hospital or nursing home for two years. that includes 40 days in intensive care. A tough Viking, indeed!

BTW:
I'm glad my parents were fearful of the Salk vaccine. they were also afraid of polio. My sister and I spent every august at my Aunt's farm in Michigan, away from the Chicago polio outbreaks.
As an adult, I had the Sabin vaccine. IIRC I was about 40, but not certain. Sabin had been out a long long time.

The Ad26.COV2.S (COVID-19) vaccine is based on the Ad26 vector platform. Clinical
experience with the Ad26 platform consists of the Ad26.ZEBOV/MVA-BN-Filo Ebola vaccine
regimen (approved by the European Medicines Agency on July 1, 2020) and investigational
vaccines against Zika, filovirus, HIV, HPV, malaria, and respiratory syncytial virus. As of 31
December 2020, Ad26-based vaccines have been used to vaccinate 193,831 participants in
clinical studies and vaccination programs. Overall, these vaccines have been shown to have an
acceptable clinical safety profile to date.

Weren't the HIV, Ebola, and HPV vaccines very bad. Sterilit, plus more problems?

Eyes glazed over. Why can't doctors write clear and to the point papers like Physicists? It was almost as bad as reading a legal opinion.

What I got was that mortality in the placebo group although much higher than the vaccine group, was still only one in a thousand. Like driving in Rush Hour.
So, far froim being the Black death, it's not worth worrying about.

Presumably,

@The Voice In the Wilderness
the trials participants, being interested enough in COVID to volunteer for the study, were exercising precautions (masks, distancing, etc.), which would itself greatly reduce the odds of acquiring an infection. When the general population, which is already becoming restless with these limitations, resumes “normal life” and abandons precautions, I would expect the risk of their becoming infected would be much greater than that of the participants of this drug trial.

Evaluating risk and modifying behaviors is a very subjective process for most of us. Data can be used to defend a variety of predispositions, a tendency that I have sometimes observed in myself, and the data itself can be slanted either consciously or unconsciously. We do the best we can with what we’re given and still can end up with a great variety of “answers” to one particular question. I’m ok with that, if for no other reason than it seems absolutely inevitable.
