Francis Collins to step down as NIH director US National Institutes of Health (NIH) director Francis Collins will step down from the agency by the end of the year, reports Politico. Collins, who is best known for leading the Human Genome Project and co-discovering the genetic cause of cystic fibrosis, has led the nation’s leading biomedical-research funder for 12 years. “I fundamentally believe… that no single person should serve in the position too long, and that it’s time to bring in a new scientist to lead the NIH into the future,” Collins said in a statement.

 BALTIMORE —

New statistics show 30% of those who died from COVID-19 in Maryland over the last six weeks were fully vaccinated, but experts said those numbers can be deceiving.

That number might sound startling, but researchers said to see the full picture, you need to flip that statistic around. They said the vaccines are still very effective.

"People who are unvaccinated are on the order of 10 to 15 times more likely to die of COVID-19 than a fully vaccinated person," said Dr. William Moss, of Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

And researchers said that's a statistic everyone should pay attention to. The vast majority of hospitalizations and deaths from COVID-19 are in those who are not vaccinated.

"We are seeing younger and younger patients come to the ICU nowadays who are unvaccinated and they're not surviving this," said Dr. Kinjal Sheth, chief of critical care at Northwest Hospital.

The Maryland Department of Health released statistics that while the total number of deaths in Maryland among vaccinated people since the vaccines came out is .0065%, between Sept. 1 and Oct. 15, they accounted for 30% of COVID-19 deaths.

"That proportion can be misleading, and the reason why is that as more and more people are vaccinated in the United States, they make up a greater proportion of the deaths," Moss said.

The state department of health agrees, writing in a statement, "As the number of our residents who are vaccinated continues to increase, we expect to see an increase in the proportion of COVID-related deaths occurring in vaccinated individuals. Many of these deaths are linked to comorbidities that make patients more vulnerable."

Moss said those risk factors include people over the age of 85 and those with underlying medical conditions.

"Immunocompromising conditions that place them at high-risk for severe COVID should they get infected and also interferes with their immune response to the vaccine, so they're not as protected as we would like them to be," Moss said.

The most prominent recent example is the death of Colin Powell, who was 84 and had cancer.

Moss said booster shots could play a role in reducing the death rate among those fully vaccinated.

"I think there is evidence that in older age groups that booster doses will help prevent severe disease, but I want to emphasize that our vaccines are holding up pretty well against severe disease, so I don't want people to panic about that," Moss said.

Moss said a lot of these new cases and deaths are fueled by the delta variant.

 2 things to know if you dont want to kill friends by covid

vaccine is the only safe way out

there is as yet no evidence that vaccines last more than 8 months- if someone says there is ask them to show it to you or go to jail and do not pass go

what this means is we needed a worldwide plane to both make and distribute about 20 million vaccines a year - the failure of any top leader group eg the g7 to take this on must lie on their sould for eternity

list of many catastrophes caused by powerful people not caring about next generation as 90 days numbers rule vtes

if there is different evidence why keep it top secret - are people in government public servants or what?

crisis caused by lack of open data on covid

thank goodness head of cdc has overruled t people at the fda- the idea of not giving boosters to medical staff is just obscene- i do not really understand how anyone can accept this fda panel's monopoly 

it is sickening that data is not publicised that this blind spolt people delay everythong on

its really very simple people who are grateful for vaccines want to know minimum length booster lasts- all data on that should be public so we are never again led by these blind boffins

those who dont believe in vaccines need help to see what they are putting at risk but after 21 months of being behind best available advice from data every month we the people must unite 

this is not freedom - it is not human it is not right

because we cant get this data right from the getgo we let the most rvil tging happen - we dont know how many vaccines need production/didtribution for the whole world; this should have been fixed before the g7 met in cornwall when the imr was arguing fir this

transparencyn ote

the evil that has been done to the world out of maryland this last 21 months beggars belief - i dont like livig in this disgusting state but have ill people to look after

BRAC Dhaka, Bangladesh Non-profit organization Established : 1972 Education and COVID-19 Response http://blog.brac.net/how-bangladesh-is-continuing-education-in-a-pandemic/ Objectives Support the equitable continuation of learning During the COVID-19 pandemic Strengthen learning systems For the future Flagship Teachers Supporting and empowering educators Through remote training, BEP is developing skills of its teachers to deliver distance education in small groups (3-4 students) with basic phone under COVID-19. This in turn would be paving the way for bringing diversity in teaching that means teaching is no more limited to face-to-face modality. Online platforms are going to create a learning environment that is expected to help them in building knowledge, adapting 21st century skills, and be an active member of the new tech-based learning community. This will have a significant effect on children, particularly in terms of coping with challenges during COVID-19, and on their perception about teaching and teachers. BEP’s plan to create conditions for higher order quality teaching is possible if technology is embedded in the process and if teachers have courage and demonstrate new skills. This will offer a new role model to the teachers, a necessary condition to the new normal. Regional Focus Asia and the Pacific Countries of Interest Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Philippines, Liberia, Nepal Member Video Commitment BEP is committed to provide an inclusive approach in continuation of learning during COVID-19 by developing appropriate learning opportunities and contributing to national initiatives while schools are closed to reduce learning loss and potential dropout during new normal. Being a trailblazer in education in Bangladesh, BEP has been working with the relevant education departments in planning and promoting the implementation of lessons through internet and television, targeting children in primary and secondary schools. To ensure equitable education opportunity for student without access to television, BEP has been conducting classes through basic phone based voice conference across the country including urban slums and hard to reach locations. In line with the national guideline, BEP plans for school re-opening by dividing the classes into 2-3 shifts in order to ensure social distance, and health and hygiene measures to pave the way to new normal. The plan includes further revision of curriculum and better integration of technology. Children Learning Groups will be developed as a key driver of learning outside classroom. BEP has a track record of working with the government in achieving national education goals by operating countrywide quality and innovative programs in reaching the unreached in basic education and lifelong learning.

Bach's job

Olympics Gold Youth are not robots- they know younger half of world's main goals - end covid, harmonise climate, love live matters communities;

 if covid is still bubbling away in 2024 the world of youth will not be celebrating anyone anyway anyhow... so by announcing summer olympics suspension bach can concentrate old minds on finding a collaboration solution (examples in posts lower down) -its no lose for him to declare suspension until covid is slayed

there can be some added bonuses - two thirds of world youth are asian; most of them are absolutely against the 7 western empires blame games on asia-

since 1945 most asians have worked their butt off excuse my french- if you recall the first 180 years of machines started up in glasgow 1760 had not been shared inclusively; 80% of asians had no access to electricity grids; when it comes to deep solutions to ending poverty if we fail to celebrate sharing what billion poorest asian women networked 1970-2020- the greatest human advancement miracle with the least- then nature is dead right- homo sapiens  isthe next dodo

 my surveys show most youth and 90% of asians  wanted bach and jack ma to live up to the dream announced at the world economic forum 2017 that happiness markets like health education cli,ate need collaboration not the moronic competition that western fake media covers everyone in

most of asians hi tech solutions can leap forward if the mayors of tokyo and beijing (winter olympics in 6 months) enjoy a private relay meeting on what their climate and health wizards can help youth celebrate across asia by humanising deep data ai; they can then debrief japans royal family and gold star japanese olympian and chinese olympians and start  virally positive waves of hope across aisa which is where sustainability waves must flow if 2020 sgds goals are real not jiust another western greenwashing game
