The Coronavirus pandemic has created an authoritarian Covid bureaucracy consisting of politicians, public health leaders, and perpetually fearful elites.. Bureaucracy’s covid mitigation rules are so ridiculously irrational and unscientific that Marty Makary, MD of Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in the US, calls it a “pandemic of lunacy.” Their response to Omicron, the newest variant of the Wuhan Covid-19 virus, falls in the same category – they are redundant, mindless, unscientific, and uncompassionate, said Avatans Kumar in an article written in Times of India Dec. 25, 2021. Close to two years into the pandemic, while many countries collect and disseminate…

Healthcare is an essential component in all human beings’ lives as each individual wishes to have a happy, healthy, and wealthy lifespan. A team led by Prof. Gajendra P. S. Raghava has developed a collation of computational tools that could be beneficial for biologists and non-biologists. The recent review published in Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery throw light on how computational resources play a vital role in healthcare. The Healthcare sector became more digitalized and advanced due to the evolving informatics-based fields like medical informatics, bioinformatics, cheminformatics, pharmacoinformatics, immunoinformatics, and clinical informatics. These domains generate a huge…

A very large number of Indians are likely to remain protected from Omicron or any other variant of COVID-19 and there is no need to panic, eminent virologist Dr Shahid Jameel has said. “While we should be cautious, there is no need to panic. India’s second wave due to the Delta variant was huge, infecting more people than we imagined. This is reflected in the fourth National Sero-survey that showed 67 percent of Indians to have COVID-19 antibodies. That is about 930-940 million people at a time when the vaccination levels were very low, and so it came mainly from infection,” he told PTI in an interview. “More…

Dr. Thomas Binder, a Swiss cardiologist and member of D4CE, has written a strong and accessible piece debunking the prevailing corona narrative for the general public. Thomas has documented three events which presaged the current corona fake pandemic: The conjuring up, in 2006, of a fictitious epidemic of whooping cough, based on nothing more than PCR Testing: “Faith in Quick Test Leads to Epidemic That Wasn’t”.
