Oct 31 (Reuters) - The director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Rochelle Walensky, experienced a COVID-19 rebound after completing a course of Pfizer Inc's (PFE.N) COVID-19 pill, the agency said on Monday. Walensky had experienced mild COVID-19 symptoms less than ten days ago. After completing a course of Pfizer's Paxlovid, and a period of isolation, she had tested negative for the virus, but on Sunday, she tested positive again, CDC added. Some people who took the antiviral drug have suffered from a relapse or a rebound that occurred days after the five-day treatment course had ended, studies have shown. Last month, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration asked Pfizer to test the effects of an additional course of its antiviral Paxlovid among people who had experienced a rebound in COVID-19 after treatment.

▼ + stars: | 2022-10-28 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +2 min

WASHINGTON, Oct 28 (Reuters) - U.S. officials are working on a respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine, but until one is available people should exercise caution, especially seniors and parents of young children, the nation's top infectious disease official said. A vaccine for the infectious respiratory disease will hopefully come within the next year or two, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci told MSNBC in an interview. RSV is not a new virus but it is a leading cause of pneumonia in toddlers and the elderly and can lead to hospitalization or death. While there is a higher concentration of RSV impacting U.S. children at the moment, it can also be a serious disease for older adults, he added. "If you're an elderly person, you are vulnerable to the serious consequences of RSV," Fauci told MSNBC.

ATLANTA — The director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has tested positive for COVID-19. Dr. Rochelle Walensky, who is up to date on her vaccinations, tested positive Friday night and had mild symptoms, the CDC said in a statement. Senior staff and close contacts have been informed of her positive test and are monitoring their health. Walensky, who took over the CDC in January 2021 after being appointed by President Joe Biden, is the latest U.S. health official to test positive for COVID-19 this year. Dr. Anthony Fauci, the face of America’s pandemic response, and U.S. Health Secretary Xavier Becerra both tested positive in June.

CNN —Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, tested positive for Covid-19 Friday. Walensky is experiencing mild symptoms and is up-to-date on her Covid-19 vaccines, according to a statement released by the agency. Walensky received an updated Covid-19 booster in September. The updated Covid-19 booster shots are bivalent, meaning they target the original coronavirus strain as well as the Omicron BA.4/BA.5 subvariants. The booster doses are recommended to given at least two months after the last dose of any Covid-19 vaccine and up to three months after an infection.

☆ Newsmax cuts ties with Lara Logan after her QAnon-inspired, on-air rant about world leaders drinking the blood of children and making people eat insects

Lara Logan, a war correspondent turned conspiracy theorist, went on a QAnon-inspired rant on Newsmax. She accused world leaders of dining on the blood of children and making people eat insects. The Guardian reported that Logan told Newsmax host Eric Bolling that world leaders "dine on the blood of children," referring to the blood libel conspiracy theory that proliferates in QAnon circles. You know, the ones who want us eating insects, cockroaches, and that while they dine on the blood of children? Newsmax, in a statement to The Hill on Friday, said it "condemns in the strongest terms the reprehensible statements made by Lara Logan."

New York CNN Business —The right-wing channel Newsmax has banned Lara Logan from its air after she went on a QAnon-style rant during an appearance on the network this week. “Newsmax condemns in the strongest terms the reprehensible statements made by Lara Logan and her views do not reflect our network,” a network spokesperson said. “We have no plans to interview her again.”Logan did not immediately respond to a CNN request for comment. After her departure from CBS, Logan became a regular fixture on Fox News’ right-wing talk programs. Logan said earlier this year that she was “dumped” by Fox News.

☆ Quick and stealthy new Covid-19 variants are poised to drive a winter surge
▼ + stars: | 2022-10-20 | by ( Brenda Goodman | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +10 min

CNN —A flurry of new Covid-19 variants appears to be gaining traction globally, raising fears of a winter surge. As the US moves into the fall, Covid-19 cases are dropping. But virus experts fear that the downward trend may soon reverse itself, thanks to this gaggle of new variants. Lumped together, the variants accounted for almost 1 in 3 new Covid-19 infections nationwide last week, according to the latest estimates from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The updated bivalent booster vaccines and antiviral drugs like Paxlovid are expected to continue to be protective against severe outcomes from Covid-19 infections caused by the new variants.

Fauci said he had a "bad feeling" ahead of Trump's presser where he spoke of COVID-19 and disinfectants. "And as soon as I heard it, I said, holy [expletive], this is going to go bad," Fauci told ABC News. For much of 2020, Fauci was a fixture on the televised White House COVID-19 briefings. "I didn't want to go up on there with this because I had a bad feeling about when Homeland Security brought this guy in, he briefed the people in the Situation Room beforehand. Fauci was at one time a fixture of the White House press briefings for much of 2020.

The results are based on blood samples taken from adults one week after they received the updated booster. The FDA also authorized Moderna's updated booster based on similarly limited data. The FDA authorized the updated shots based on studies in mice — plus human trial results from a similar booster that targets the original omicron strain, called BA.1. At the time, Dr. Peter Marks, the FDA's top vaccine regulator, said the agency hoped the updated vaccines will provide stronger protection against symptomatic disease than the older vaccines. Moderna didn't immediately respond to a request for comment about when it will release new data on its updated booster.

☆ U.S. extends Covid public health emergency even though Biden says pandemic is over
▼ + stars: | 2022-10-13 | by ( Spencer Kimball | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

The U.S. has extended the Covid public health emergency, a clear demonstration that the Biden administration still views Covid as a crisis despite President Joe Biden's recent claim that the pandemic is over. The public health emergency, first declared in January 2020 by the Trump administration, has been renewed every 90 days since the pandemic began. Biden, in a September television interview, claimed the "pandemic is over" though he said Covid will continue to present a health challenge. But hospitals and pharmacies called for the Health and Human Services Department to keep the public health emergency in place until the U.S. has a sustained period of low Covid transmission. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, under HHS, dramatically expanded enrollment in Medicaid, public health insurance for low income people, to a historic record of more than 89 million people.

☆ Covid-19 boosters could prevent about 90,000 US deaths this winter, but only if more people get them, analysis suggests
▼ + stars: | 2022-10-05 | by ( Jacqueline Howard | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +4 min

CNN —Covid-19 vaccinations could save thousands of lives and billions of dollars this winter. A new analysis suggests that if more people in the United States get their booster by the end of the year, about 90,000 Covid-19 deaths could be prevented this fall and winter. But if booster vaccinations continue at their current pace, the nation could see a peak of more than 1,000 Covid-19 deaths per day this winter, according to the study, published Wednesday by The Commonwealth Fund. There are now more than 400 daily Covid-19 deaths, on average, in the United States. Federal health officials have said that Americans may need to get a single updated Covid-19 vaccination every year.

Dr. Anthony Fauci said he's "keeping a completely open mind" about the origins of the pandemic. Fauci told an audience the Chinese government is "probably" hiding something about the origins of the virus. Fauci recalls the painstaking efforts it took to get information on that outbreak from Chinese officials. Hiding information creates a perfect breeding ground for conspiracy theories, Fauci said"It's natural, totally natural for conspiracy people who are thinking it's a conspiracy to say, 'see? And, "they probably are," Fauci said, but it may not have anything to do with a lab leak at all.

Days after President Biden said "the pandemic is over," his chief medical advisor is adding context. "400 deaths per day is not an acceptable number," Fauci told The Atlantic. "400 deaths per day is not an acceptable number as far as I'm concerned, we've gotta get it down much, much lower," Fauci told The Atlantic's Ross Andersen on Wednesday. President Biden told CBS "the pandemic is over" as he walked the floor at the Detroit Auto Show last week. This is not the time to call the game and get a hot dog, Fauci saidDeclaring the pandemic over is now a "double-edged sword," Fauci added.

We know you're worried also for the kids, who are facing a difficult situation in school. Sadly, the Omicron "variant" of the COVID-19 virus is spreading all over the world now. Here's what I think you should know:First, this Omicron "variant" is a new form of the COVID-19 virus, which causes a new wave of infections because it's somehow more potent than the previous variant. Omicron can infect people who have already been infected with previous variants and even those who were vaccinated several months ago. So I know you're all lining up for your boosters and you're doing the right thing.

The Biden administration is asking online influencers to promote COVID-19 vaccines to young users. It also shows how the White House recognizes digital platforms' power and cultural impact. As The New York Times' Taylor Lorenz reported Sunday, the Biden administration signed on 50 Twitch, YouTube, and TikTok users to reach their massive follower counts, which largely consist of young users under the age of 30. Lorenz reported that state and local governments are also kicking off similar initiatives with more local online influencers, with some even providing $1,000-a-month incentives to encourage their thousands of followers to get vaccinated. That drive has included 18-year-old musician Olivia Rodrigo, who last month visited the White House in part to chat with chief medical advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci about vaccinations.

Sursa foto: ProfimediaSUA mențin obligativitatea purtării măștii în școală, indiferent dacă persoana e vaccinatăCentrul pentru Prevenirea și Controlul Bolilor din SUA a menținut obligativitatea purtării măștii în școli, în ciuda unei decizii precedente care permitea adulților vaccinați să nu mai poarte mască nici în spații deschise, nici în cele închise, potrivit New York Post. Regulile stricte de utilizare a măștilor și distanțare socială trebuie menținute în școlile din toată țara, „indiferent de nivelul transmiterii comunitare” a coronavirusului, insistă CDC. Asta din cauză că „elevii nu vor fi complet vaccinați până la sfârșitul anului școlar 2020-2021”, explică documentul. SUA au aprobat vaccinul anti-COVID de la Pfizer pentru copiii de 12-15 ani abia în urmă cu o săptămână. CDC va reînnoi recomandările pentru școli în săptămânile următoare pentru a ajuta comunitățile să se pregătească pentru viitorul an școlar.

Durata protecției este mai lungă, dar acestea sunt primele date pe o perioadă de câteva luni, validate independent de o revistă științifică. Participanții vor fi urmăriți timp de 13 luni pentru a verifica protecția pe termen lung, spun autorii. Anticorpii sunt doar o componentă a răspunsului imun, alături de limfocitele B (memorie imună, producerea de anticorpi) și T (care distrug celulele infectate). Datele privind celulele cu memorie imună nu sunt încă cunoscute, spun cercetătorii, însă studiile anterioare au arătat că vaccinul poate afecta celulele ucigașe. Dar „nu știm dacă va fi unul, doi, trei sau cinci ani, nu știm”, a spus el.

"Nu există absolut niciun motiv și nu are deloc sens pentru mine ca în mijlocul unei pandemii să încetez să fac ceva ce are un rol major în a ne ajuta să ieșim din această pandemie", a spus Fauci. Sfatul său pentru președintele ales este "exact același" pe care l-a dat și până acum - distanțarea socială, evitarea aglomerațiilor, purtarea măștilor, spălarea mâinilor. "Principiile de sănătate publică nu se schimbă de la o lună la alta sau de la o administrație la alta", a spus el. Fauci a colaborat cu șase administrații evidențiindu-se mai ales în cea a președintelui Ronald Reagan în anii '80, când s-a confruntat cu epidemia de SIDA.

Administraţia Donald Trump a selectat cinci companii considerate că au cele mai mari şanse de a produce un vaccin anticoronavirus, afirmă oficiali de rang înalt, în contextul în care Casa Albă vrea să înceapă vaccinarea până la sfârşitul acestui an, relatează cotidianul The New York Times. Cele cinci companii care au şanse mari să producă un vaccin anticoronavirusAdministraţia Donald Trump speră să poată identifica în faza iniţială cele mai promiţătoare proiecte de fabricare a unui vaccin, să accelereze procedura de stabilire care va funcţiona şi să asigure capacităţile de producere rapidă în mari cantităţi şi de distribuire în toată ţara. Potrivit NYT, companiile considerate ca având cele mai mari şanse de a produce un vaccin sunt Moderna (cu sediul în Massachusetts), proiectul Universităţii Oxford cu AstraZeneca, Johnson & Johnson, Merck şi Pfizer. Anunţul referitor la această decizie va fi făcut de Preşedinţia SUA în următoarele săptămâni. Dezvoltarea unui vaccin este un proces cunoscut ca fiind dificil şi necesită timp; recordul este de patru ani, iar un deceniu nu este o perioadă neobişnuită”, notează cotidianul The New York Times.
