    Coroner investigating whether Dunedin man’s death connected to vaccine days earlier

    1 Dec, 2021 11:00 AM

    The death of a Dunedin man is being investigated by health officials and the coroner to ascertain whether it could be connected to the Covid vaccine he received 12 days earlier.

    Rory James Nairn, 26, died on November 17 at the home he shared with his fiancee Ashleigh Wilson.

    His death has been referred to the coroner and the exact cause is yet to be determined.

    Nairn received his first dose of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine on November 5…

    NCBI Study

    Quantitative proteomics reveals a broad‐spectrum antiviral property of ivermectin, benefiting for COVID‐19 treatment

    1. This study sought to identify ivermectin‐related virus infection pathway alterations in human cells.

    2. Quantitative proteomics revealed that ivermectin‐related proteins are involved in four statistically significant antiviral pathways, including human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), human papillomavirus (HPV), Epstein–Barr virus (EBV), human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV1), and COVID‐19 infection pathways.

    3.We identified 52 severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2)/COVID‐19‐related protein alterations when treated with and without ivermectin, and these proteins were involved in cytokines and growth factor family, MAP kinase and G‐protein family, and HLA class proteins.

    4.These findings demonstrate the broad‐spectrum antiviral property of ivermectin benefiting for COVID‐19 treatment in the context of predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine in virus‐related diseases.

    I was struggling with a lot of guilt in those first days because I was one of the ones who had convinced him to take the vaccine and I didn’t want it to be the vaccine.

    So what about the politicians, health officials, doctors, employers, family and others who have pressured someone to take the injection and the person has suffered severe health reactions or death?

    The Omicron variant, now present in at least 23 countries around the world, was probably incubated in the body of a person with an immune system battered by HIV or another immune-compromising condition that can cause a prolonged coronavirus infection, according to the South African scientist who detected the fast-spreading genetic mutant.

    So, in their desperation, AHPRA (health regulators) decided I wanted to go back to work and gave me and thousands of others free registration. Seems it’s not going so well. They wrote to me again –

    Thank you for being on the 2021 Pandemic Response Sub-register (the Sub-register).
    You are one of about 25,600 registered health practitioners who are on the 2021 Sub-register as part of a critical surge health workforce to help with Australia’s COVID-19 response.
    Ahpra and the National boards are requesting feedback on your experience of being on the Sub-register and information about your future registration plans so we can:
    • learn whether you returned to practice through being on the Sub-register
    • find out about your willingness to work
    • understand your plans about any future registration
    • confirm your contact details, and
    • understand how the Sub-register could be improved in the future.
    Collecting this information will help us work with state and territory health authorities who are planning their ongoing workforce response to COVID-19 as domestic and international borders start to reopen.
    Please help us by completing a short 10 minute survey.
    Before you proceed, please read the following information:
    • this survey is voluntary, there is no requirement from Ahpra or the National boards for you to complete this survey
    • all information collected will be treated confidentially, and
    • data collected will only be used for the purposes described above.
    Please click on the button below to access the survey which closes on Friday 17 December 2021.
    Thank you for participating in this survey

    So I wrote back. “Not until the entire board has been prosecuted and imprisoned for the many laws you have broken, not to mention the breaches of ethics and conduct and the many deaths and injuries you have caused from your support of mandatory Covid vaccinations and the loss of so many skilled professionals from the profession”.
    With a few links to justify.
