New COVID variant studied in Japan should make you nervous

Here is a summary of an article from Trial Site News on what Japanese researchers have revealed.

A team of scientists from Japan, led by Tanaka Shinya, of Hokkaido University, Institute for Chemical Reaction Design and Discovery, and three other corresponding authors introduce the world to a new Omicron variant of concern, BA.2.75. First identified in India in May 2022, this pathogen potentially possesses the ability to outcompete other subvariants such as BA.5, the current predominant Omicron subvariant in the United States. Importantly, TrialSite has demonstrated in past articles the importance of pharmaceutical companies such as Pfizer-BioNTech and Modern to advance their vaccines to target particular mutations. Already, the concern in America is that while the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) told these companies to improve their vaccines to address BA.5, new clinical trial listings raise concerns that a more Omicron-generalized product would be released. What about new variants of concern such as BA.2.75? Would this require yet another booster with a different fundamental vaccine regimen? Does a consistently evolving pathogen change the worldwide public health scheme strategy and tactical considerations?

This new variant may replace BA5 now dominant in the US 5 and elsewhere. Here is what merits concern: will natural and vaccine/booster immunity be effective. Based on what we are seeing for BA5, there is reason to doubt effectiveness. So many people who took two vaccine and two booster shots have come down ill with COVID.

As to vitamin D that strengthens immune systems, note this from this site: it details use of vitamin D:

“As circumstantial as it may be, however, the evidence seemed strong enough to other scientists, who have advocated for actively increasing the uptake of the vitamin in the population. One of the most prominent calls came from the vitaminDforAll.org initiative that issued an open letter early in 2021 calling for “immediate widespread increased vitamin D intakes” in the general population. The letter was signed by over 200 scientists and doctors, each of whom accompanied their signature by two numbers: the intake levels that they recommended, and those that they followed personally. Most recommend taking 4000 IU (International Units), and they personally take much more.” My own work has found that 5,000 to 8,000 units daily are likely necessary to raise blood levels to well of 50 ng/ml.

Another issue that merits attention is new work that has proven hydroxychloroquine is effective in preventing COVID. Here are two articles that are very technical but make this case.

Harvard Meta-Analysis Shows Statistically Significant Positive PrEP Effect from HCQ

The bottome line is that HCQ was wrongly malligned and, in fact, a large amount of research showed it really was effective for prevention, and many others believe also effective for COVID treatment.
