UK Biobank is a biomedical database with medical images, genetic data and health information on 500,000 people.
About 1,500 people who have had Covid will be scanned again to check how organs are affected by infection.
The study will look at people with asymptomatic Covid, and others who had severe disease.
Brain scans will also be carried out to try to aid understanding of long Covid.
“It will enable researchers to investigate whether the effects of the virus on different organs of the body vary between how severe your infection was in the first place,” explains Prof Allen.
Detailed scans of 1,500 Biobank members who have not been infected will also be recorded.
The state also has looked into each of the four January and February deaths of Utahns reported to the federal database, and “it has not been determined that the vaccine played a role in any of those deaths,” a spokesman for the Utah Department of Health said in Tuesday.
A little more detail:
The family of one Ogden woman reportedly said she died after complications of getting her second dose, however, Christensen said he’s not at liberty to divulge his findings without the family’s permission. All he could say is that the physical work of the autopsy has been concluded, but the lab results haven’t returned.
However, speaking in general terms, Christensen said there would be signs if someone had a bad reaction to the vaccine.
He said, “If somebody has an acute allergic reaction that could lead to death, we would be able to find evidence of that in chemical testing, immunologic testing and, potentially, anatomic findings in the body.”
Christensen said their procedures may be able to find “competing” reasons as to why someone dies when they appear to be healthy.
“There are people walking around with disease they didn’t know they had,” according to Christensen.
Australia is kind of slow on this, the government’s timetable is for everyone to be vaccinated by end of October. But with no community transmission anywhere in Australia at the moment there’s a bit less urgency. Would be nice to get it done before we have to fend off another outbreak though, as it stands we will be vulnerable to one all through winter.
This is insane. It renders Moderna and Pfizer useless and really stretches AstraZeneca.
But I guess you have the JNJ shot upcoming.
From what I’ve read, a shot of Moderna or Pfizer is quite effective two weeks after the shot but afaict it’s unclear how long that protection lasts without a second shot.
If I’m after a peer review pre the findings I’ll be sure @ you CN - in the meantime, let’s see what the professionals find. I’ll be sure to waiting with baited breath for you pick some irrelevant holes in the study’s findings, only for the US to carry similar but way smaller studies in 6-12 months time and declare similar findings.
Seems like a quality test for covid effect on organs, the likes of which only a few countries have the precovid data required to perform IMO.
My sister celebrated COVIDversary by getting pozzed today She’s a director at one of the hotels at Pearson Airport in Toronto that the government commandeered to take returning travellers. Almost certainly got it from one of the prisoners guests.
The good news it that it’s a mild case, but we’re still praying she didn’t spread it to her husband and his father with every risk factor under the sun.
The Biden administration has previously issued non-binding directions or recommendations on Covid-19 mitigation measures like mask use or school reopenings. But the aides stressed that, using the authority of the Department of Health and Human Services, its vaccine order will be binding, and states’ compliance will be mandatory.
2nd vax plus 2 weeks for moderna, 2nd vax plus 1 week for pfizer, but yes, I think that’s fine. Wear a mask, don’t eat or drink at the table, but other than that, seems fine to me.
Furthering this, it will also depend on how many non-vaccinateds you come into contact with on a daily basis. You’ll be safe but will still have the possibility of being a spreader, so if you have unvaccinated family members or loved ones you see often, I would caution against it.
