  • How Effective Are CoVid mRNA Vaccines?

     

    Vidcast:  https://youtu.be/g1D2et9iod0

     

    Initial studies of the Moderna and Pfizer CoVid vaccines pegged them at about 95% effective at preventing CoVid infections and close to 100% effective at preventing CoVid hospitalization and deaths.  A Yale-led study now reports real world effects of the vaccines on hospitalizations and death.

     

    A complete mRNA vaccine course was 96% effective at preventing hospitalization and a partial one-shot course was 77% effective.  The complete vaccination course was 98.7% effective at preventing death due to CoVid while partial immunization afforded on 64.2% protection.  The data held for all ages, genders, and ethnic groups.

     

    This is yet another study that verifies the remarkable effectiveness of the mRNA vaccines.

  • CoVid Survivors More Likely To Die

     

    Vidcast:  https://youtu.be/vS6BfCsWobU

     

    Those infected with CoVid and treated at home had a nearly 60% higher risk of death compared with those uninfected.  Outcomes for the hospitalized were 3-fold worse. Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis compared data from 73,435 non-hospitalized and 13,997 hospitalized CoVid patients with nearly 5 million uninfected VA patients.

     

    The non-hospitalized were 59% more likely to die while those with more severe disease requiring hospitalization were 150 times more likely to succumb compared with the uninfected.  *1 These fatalities occurred due to continuing respiratory, neurological, cardiovascular, and gastrointestinal disease.

     

     CoVid’s incidence in younger adults is on the rise.   Protect yourself and your family with vaccination.

  • Mushrooms May Prevent Cancer

     

    Vidcast:  https://youtu.be/7Kc2Xkv6X_c

     

    Consistent consumption of mushrooms may reduce your risk of cancer by as much as 34%.  Penn State public health and food scientists report this observation after their meta-analysis of 17 observational studies published between 1966 and 2020 with data for more than 19,500 cancer patients.

     

    The beneficial effect of mushrooms was particularly strong for breast cancer patients and many of the reports focused on this type of cancer.  Comparing the risk of non-breast cancer for the highest mushroom consumers versus the lowest revealed only a 20% benefit.

     

    Mushrooms are an excellent source of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.  Shiitake, oyster, maitake and king oyster mushrooms are particularly rich in the powerful antioxidant ergothioneine.
