This is a scientist giving a rundown on the new combination:

Whatās the line on the anti-vaxxers rejecting this new treatment for covid and sticking with the really proven stuff like hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin?

Iām not sure what you mean by crossover. It seems that the gene is very highly prevalent in that specific population (i.e., South Asians, not Filipinos). The article also says that it is extremely rare in East Asians. If we know it is common in South Asians but rare in East Asians, I donāt think there is an obvious way to guess which group Filipinos would be more like.
Historically, there was much more contact between the Philippines and East Asia, than Philippines and South Asia. If anything I think one would assume that the prevalence of the gene in Filipinos would be more like the East Asian group than the South Asian group.
So, to be clear, this would be the common definition of South Asia? Yah, I could see there not being a ton of overlap between the Philippines and that area.

Not sure about Afghanistan, but otherwise that is what I think of as South Asia.

Pretty much this.
I could personally go either way on Afghanistan.
Pretty good, mostly because itās made by Pfizer.
I have been wondering that myself. If they are not hypocrites (lol) they will not dare use it.
To some extent. Nice to have someone to root for in the playoffs.

āI talks with UN so this treatment can be produced and sold at low cost in other countriesā
Yeah but $1,000 per pill in the USA#1!

Iām sure there is an actual scientific answer to what specific ethnic populations have the gene prevalence. Iāve read enough scientific lit for my job this week. Iām tapped out.
Well, sure, but someone has to actually study that first. If it has been studied in Filipinos, it wasnāt mentioned in that link. Given the description of the database that the authors of the study relied on, it doesnāt seem like there would have been a large number of Filipinos present.
If you know where the prevalence stats in Filipinos can be found, Iām sure everyone (especially Rugby) would be interested.
Thatās the problem, not the type of thing Iād find in the microbiology/;
Fermentation literature.
Iām not invested enough in the discussion to go digging that hard.
like tiny paratroopers drafted into the eye of an ongoing hunger warā¦

If you are an American of the USA #1 variety, thereās a good chance your BMI qualifies you.
Really hard to get an appointment for kids around here, which i suppose is a good sign, so still going to be two weeks. The local clinic registration went up without notice and was banged out within an hour.
