Coronavirus cases have risen sharply in India and a new COVID-19 variant has emerged there called B1617.
Scientists think the B1617 variant is more contagious, because of a mutation it carries called L452R, which helps the virus's spike protein unlock our cells.
Just because the virus spreads more easily, doesn't mean it's more deadly.
B1617 also carries a second mutation, called E484Q, that changes the spike protein, which may make the virus less susceptible to pre-existing antibodies.
The main concern with the Indian variant is the potential for reduced vaccine efficacy.

India has administered 36.4 million shots of the Covid-19 vaccine to its people. But healthcare experts now worry that these numbers are incomplete without looking at vaccine side-effects.
A group of 29 doctors, researchers, and healthcare professionals have written to India's health minister and those on the committee for the Covid-19 vaccines expressing their worry over the lack of data on adverse events after immunisation (AEFIs) and deaths related to the vaccine.
This letter comes in the context of various European nations stopping the use of the AstraZeneca vaccine after reported AEFIs included incidents of clotting. In India, Covishield, manufactured by Serum Institute of India, is made from the master seed of the AstraZeneca vaccine. A large majority of India's Covid-19 vaccine initiative depends on Covishield.
The group which wrote the letter is particularly concerned about the government withholding data on vaccine-related deaths. "We understand that at least 65 deaths have occurred following vaccination for Covid-19 since the vaccination campaign started on Jan. 16. However, the National AEFI committee's investigation findings of only two of these deaths have been made public. Till now, no case of serious AEFI including death has been attributed to the vaccine," it wrote in its letter on March 16.
Currently, the UK has been able to collect robust data on self-reported vaccine AEFIs-though some of them bizarre-which it had analysed and released (pdf) on March 8. The prevalence of blood clots was found to be one in 167,000 people who self-reported the symptom, which is at par with the occurrence of clotting incidents in the general population.
That is one of the reasons India's vaccine committee remains cautiously optimistic.
Keeping an eye on vaccine AEFIs
India has a statutory body called the National AEFI Committee that currently monitors all mild and severe reactions to the vaccines. It is also meant to parse through the data and analysis on deaths.
NK Arora, the head of this committee, believes that there is no direct link between the deaths and Covid-19 vaccines from the data assessed so far. "Currently, whatever we are investigating, there is no causal linkage. All the events we have found so far are coincidental," he told The Indian Express newspaper yesterday (March 17).
But the letter alerts to possible "gaps" in how AEFIs are being reported to the national committee. "There are gaps in AEFI investigations at the local level, affecting the quality of evidence submitted to state and national AEFI committees who depend on these findings for making causality assessments," it said.
For now, though, India is going by the World Health Organization's guidance on the safety of AstraZeneca vaccines and has no plans to pause its fast escalating vaccine drive.

Bill Gates, one of the world's richest men and most powerful philanthropists, was the target of criticism from social justice campaigners on Sunday after arguing that lifting patent protections on COVID-19 vaccine technology and sharing recipes with the world to foster a massive ramp up in manufacturing and distribution — despite a growing international call to do exactly that — is a bad idea.
Directly asked during an interview with Sky News if he thought it "would be helpful" to have vaccine recipes be shared, Gates quickly answered: "No."
Asked to explain why not, Gates — whose massive fortune as founder of Microsoft relies largely on intellectual property laws that turned his software innovations into tens of billions of dollars in personal wealth — said: "Well, there's only so many vaccine factories in the world and people are very serious about the safety of vaccines. And so moving something that had never been done — moving a vaccine, say, from a [Johnson & Johnson] factory into a factory in India — it's novel — it's only because of our grants and expertise that that can happen at all."

Moderna, who famously have called their disease management system a "software for life" - waives intellectual rights on vaccines
Beyond Moderna’s vaccine, there are other COVID-19 vaccines in development that may use Moderna-patented technologies. We feel a special obligation under the current circumstances to use our resources to bring this pandemic to an end as quickly as possible. Accordingly, while the pandemic continues, Moderna will not enforce our COVID-19 related patents against those making vaccines intended to combat the pandemic. Further, to eliminate any perceived IP barriers to vaccine development during the pandemic period, upon request we are also willing to license our intellectual property for COVID-19 vaccines to others for the post pandemic period.

This is a PSYOP
Just before the Bill Gates spoke, UK PM Boris Johnson was being quoted as saying he'd "rather see thousands dead in the streets than have another lockdown"...
The Behavioural insights team are hoping to create the public reaction that cries out
"no not thousands dead - let's have another lockdown... please!"
Boris Johnson has urged the public to be "realistic” about the prospect of the UK being hit with another wave of coronavirus infections in the future.
The Prime Minister told broadcasters that while lockdowns meant the virus was now "under control”, he warned that "there probably will be another wave of the disease”.
But Mr Johnson said that coronavirus jabs would provide "pretty robust fortifications” should there be another spike in infections going forward, as he hailed the UK’s vaccination programme.
He urged the public to take up the vaccine when offered it, with a Government campaign calling on people aged 50 and under to get their jab so the UK can "continue on the path back to normality”.
It comes as the Prime Minister denied saying he was prepared to let "bodies pile high” rather than order another lockdown, amid a bitter briefing war that has hit Downing Street.
During a visit to Wrexham, when asked if he had made the comments attributed to him, Mr Johnson said: "No, but I think the important thing I think people want us to get on and do as a Government is to make sure that the lockdowns work.
"They have, and I really pay tribute to the people of this country, this whole country of ours, that have really pulled together and, working with the vaccination programme, we have got the disease under control.
"The numbers of deaths, the number of hospitalisations, are currently very low. That doesn’t mean that we have got it totally licked, it doesn’t mean that Covid is over.
"We have got to be realistic about that, unfortunately there probably will be another wave of the disease, but I think that the vaccination programme has now been so massive – 33.6 million people vaccinated.
"We have built up what I think are some pretty robust fortifications against the next wave, we will have to see how strong they really are in due course.”
A Government campaign – called "every vaccination gives us hope” – includes a TV advert which will showcase the health workers and volunteers involved in the vaccination rollout across the UK.

"For high-income countries that participate in the scheme, COVAX provides an insurance mechanism should their bilaterally-agreed supplies fall short. For low-income countries, COVAX is a vaccine lifeline when the prices of bilateral agreements become too high.
Global health institutions and state leaders celebrate images of COVAX vaccines arriving in poor countries as evidence that this approach is fast moving, results-based and equitable. But these images mask several vaccine equity issues.
It is unclear that COVAX can secure the investment required to reach its goal of securing 2 billion doses by the end of 2021. COVAX itself has warned of a US$27 billion gap needed to meet this ambition. Furthermore, doses for 20% of a population are insufficient.
When states are challenged on vaccine hoarding, priority deals, and bilateral price negotiations, they often point to COVAX as evidence of commitment to vaccine equity. "
Our criticism of COVAX is more than that it is just charity: COVAX is serving as a smokescreen to cover up vaccine nationalism.

Greta gets in on "the act" Rich should not be wasting resources
by vaxxing their young...
Does this include India,
Climate activist Greta Thunberg is "ancient news” with 19-year-old Xiye Bastida preaching pure Marxism and taking the unsuspecting masses by storm, according to Sky News host Rowan Dean.
"Poor old Greta’s gone, she’s history, she’s ancient news,” he said.
In an online video Ms Bastida said, "the climate crisis is the result of those perpetuating and upholding the harmful systems of colonialism, oppression, capitalism and market-oriented brainwashed solutions”.
"We demand that you stop fossil fuel investments and subsidies. We demand that you stop any new fossil fuel infrastructure and existing fossil fuel extraction including pipelines.
"We demand comprehensive non-Eurocentric and intersectional climate education including literacy on climate justice.”
Sky News host James Morrow said, "intersectional politics are now going to be driving the climate wars just as they have been driving the culture wars everywhere else”.

Behavioural Psychology
This Vaccine patent story is the same deal
Gates wishes to provoke a backlash that seeks to see
vaccines available and everybody in the world dosed with the Empires prescribed 'treatment'.
The thought product they are selling is branded "Vaccine equity"...
The entire planets population is to be 'treated' with an experimental pharmaceutical product.
He is selling you a false perception of freedom
equity and choice via a trick of behavioral psychology
Gates is now seemingly advising Governments globally on how to spend their publics money
The India Crisis is a planned & staged event
Predictable rolling out the fake charity bollox -
The Bob Geldoff & Greta Thunberg show

Bob Geldof is in talks over another Live Aid to help bring Covid jabs to the world's poorest countries.
The Dubliner, who raised millions for famine relief with his famous charity concert in 1985, has been approached by former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown about launching a campaign to kickstart a mass immunisation programme in the developing world.
Mr Brown told the BBC he had spoken to the 68-year-old Boomtown Rats legend, inset.
He added: "I talked to Bob Geldof about the strength that Live Aid brought in the 1980s and you need that kind of popular campaign with the People's Vaccine Alliance and others coming on board."

Google and Microsoft have pledged to support India as it tackles record numbers of coronavirus cases that have overwhelmed the country's hospitals.
Sundar Pichai, the head of Google and parent company Alphabet, said he was "devastated" by events and the firm would provide $18m (£13m) in funding.
Microsoft boss Satya Nadella said he was "heartbroken" and would help India with its shortage of oxygen supplies.
Both chief executives of the technology giants were born in India.
Mr Pichai, who was born and schooled in the southern Indian city of Chennai, announced Google's funding move in a tweet on Sunday, linking to a statement by vice-president of Google India, Sanjay Gupta.
"Right now India is going through our most difficult moment in the pandemic thus far," the statement said.

With a devastating second wave of Covid-19 sweeping across India and lifesaving supplemental oxygen in short supply, India’s government on Sunday said it ordered Facebook, Instagram and Twitter to take down dozens of social media posts critical of its handling of the pandemic.
The order was aimed at roughly 100 posts that included critiques from opposition politicians and calls for Narendra Modi, India’s prime minister, to resign. The government said that the posts could incite panic, used images out of context, and could hinder its response to the pandemic.
The companies complied with the requests for now, in part by making the posts invisible to those using the sites inside India. In the past, the companies have reposted some content after determining that it didn’t break the law.

"The forum of advisers, known as the Indian SARS-CoV-2 Genetics Consortium, or INSACOG, has now found more mutations in the coronavirus that it thinks need to be tracked closely.
"We are seeing some mutation coming up in some samples that could possibly evade immune responses," said Shahid Jameel, chair of the scientific advisory group of INSACOG and a top Indian virologist. He did not say if the mutations have been seen in the Indian variant or any other strain.
"Unless you culture those viruses and test them in the lab, you can't say for sure.
At this point, there is no reason to believe that they are expanding or if they can be dangerous, but we flagged it so that we keep our eye on the ball," |
