Pfizer+Turkish BNT controversial Vaccine claims +5% more Efficiency ...1 Day after Competitor !


The Controversial anti-COVID-19 Vaccine project by "Pfizer" and a Turkish SME ("BNT") in Southern Germany claimed a +5% More Efficiency only 1 Day after Competitor "Moderna" (USA) announced that its own Vaccine would be 95% Efficient : Moderna's Press Release was reported by Medias on November 17, and that of Pfizer/BNT Next Day, on November 18.

Otherwise, Pfizer/BNT would be clearly Led and Distanced by Moderna, given the Fact that its Vaccine's alleged Efficiency had been earlier announced to be Limited at Only 90%. However, it obviously remains a Mystery, how it managed to ...jump from only 90%, suddenly, up to 95% only in 1 Day...
 
Moreover, Pfizer/BNT, notoriously is much More Cumbersome than Moderna, since the Storage of its Vaccine needs... "minus -94 degrees Fahrenheit (or minus -70 degrees Celsius)" for the First (i.e. Special Equipments), against just "minus -4 degrees F (or minus -20 C)", i.e. at an Ordinary Fridge for frozen meat, for the Second., facilitating Distribution.

However, Both those two Vaccine projects' Genetic Tech. does Not Allow to Predict, yet, IF they manage to Prevent Transmission of the Virus to Other People, or not, "Los Angeles Times" Warned !  For that purpose, much More substantial Trials would be needed, in the future !

But, meanwhile, Pfizer/BNT's and Moderna's controversial vaccines risk to be Distanced by various Other, different vaccines, including Russia's "Sputnik" and China's "Sinovac" (which have already started to be Distributed), as well as by UK's "Astrazeneca", USA's "Johnson & Johnson", etc...
2  European POLICIES and ISSUES / Enlargement - Foreign Policy / + More Civilian Victims... on: January 29, 2018, 03:45:31 AM
.

See, f.ex., World-famous Robert Fisk's reporting with Facts from the spot at Afrin area, just published at "Independent" NewsMedia :



<< NewsWorldMiddle East

Inside Afrin, the true victims of Turkey's invasion of northern Syria are revealed - refugees, babies, women and children

Exclusive: In part three of his Inside Syria series, and the first Western media report from Afrin since the start of the Turkish offensive, Robert Fisk shows just how ‘surgical’ is the attack on ‘terrorists’ in Operation Olive Branch

Robert Fisk Maabatli, northern Syria @indyvoices


When Taha Mustafa al-Khatr, his wife Amina, his two daughters Zakia and Safa and son Sulieman went to bed in the tiny village of Maabatli, they placed their shoes outside the door. Most Middle Eastern families do the same.

It’s a tradition and a sign of cleanliness in the home. The cheap plastic slippers were still there, of course, when the Turkish shell hit their house at one in the morning – and when I arrived a few hours later, I found the same shoes, a few blown down the stairs but most still neatly lined up next to each other. Did one of the daughters choose the slippers with the plastic bows? Even the rescue workers – such as they are in the Kurdish province of Afrin – didn’t touch the shoes.

They left one of the blood-soaked bedspreads where it was in the rain under the collapsed roof of the cheap breeze-block house. The bodies, of course, had gone.

Since the identities of the victims are known – not, of course, that of the Turkish gunner who slaughtered this family – we should, perhaps, be better acquainted with them. Taha was 40 years old, his wife Amina the same age, Zakia was 17 and her bother Suliemann just 14. Safa, who is 19, survived – miraculously, with only wounds to her hands – but of course she is now an orphan.

(...)

Taha’s uncle already lived in the hilltop village and he seems to have put his refugee relatives in his storeroom – it was filled with the wreckage of sacks of grain, a fridge and frozen vegetables. The bodies must have been unimaginable.

----------------------------

“You come to our hospital here in Afrin to find out what happened,” Dr Jawan Palot, director of the Afrin Hospital, remarked to me with cynicism, well aware that The Independent was the first Western news organisation to visit Afrin since the Turkish attack. “You should see the dead when they come in – and the state of the wounded with the blood on them.” And there came forth the usual photographs of ferociously broken corpses. [NOONE PUBLISHED]

And there followed, too, in the Afrin Hospital, a maudlin tour of the wards where the survivors of Turkey’s assault on the “terrorists” of Afrin, which began on 20 January, lay in their beds.

There was Mohamed Hussein, a 58-year old farmer from Jendeeres, with head wounds and a closed eye, almost killed when the roof of his house caved in under air attack on 22 January. And Ahmad Kindy, eight years younger, who took his family out of the village when Turkey’s Olive Branch first cast its shadow over the land early on 21 January, but who unwisely returned and was hit in the back by shrapnel. “There were no YPG fighters there,” he said.

But what if there were? Does that justify the pain of 15-year old Dananda Sido from the village of Adamo, terribly wounded in the chest and legs who turns from us in tears when we try to speak to her in the Afrin Hospital? Or that of 20-year old Kifah Moussa, who was working in her family’s chicken farm at Maryameen when Turkish planes dropped a bomb on the building at midday, killing an entire family of eight people beside her? She was hit in the chest. She smiles bravely at Dr Palot and myself, although it is unclear if she knows that her brother is among the dead.

Then there is the eighth-grade Kurdish schoolboy Mustafa Khaluf, also from Jendeeres, who heard the Turkish planes coming above his home and suffered severe leg wounds in the air strike. Close to him lies seven-year old Aya Nabo, with severe chest wounds, and who turns towards the wall beside her bed rather than talk to her doctor. Her sister says she was hit in the street on 22 January. After a while, it becomes a kind of obscenity to demand, constantly, the circumstances of this suffering. We all know who did this.


It is, however, almost equally obscene to recall the official Turkish version of this little massacre – for that is what it was for 34 civilians whose bodies were taken to the Afrin Hospital alone – which states that more than 70 Turkish jets bombed YPG Kurdish militias in Syria on 21 January. The Turkish news agency Anadolu stated blandly that Turkish aircraft bombed more than 100 “targets” – including an “airfield” (mysteriously unnamed) – on the first day of the attacks. The operations supposedly targeted YPG “barracks, shelters, positions, weapons, vehicles and equipment”.

(...)

To make his own calculated point, Dr Polat, who says he was studying medicine in the Russian city of Krasnoyarsk when he decided to return to Afrin in 2014 “to help my people in the war”, prints out his entire hospital records from the 21 January to midday on the 26 January and gives them to The Independent.

According to Dr Polat, he had received only four YPG fighters dead and two wounded on the first day of the Turkish assaults, another seven fighters and nine wounded later in the week. Because these are real people, not just statistics, there is probably a journalistic duty to record at least some of the lives -- and deaths -- of these poor civilians.

Dipping into the hospital files – and taking names at random – I find that among the 49 civilian wounded brought here, were three-year-old Hamida Brahim al-Hussein, from Maryameen, who was wounded in the head in the chicken farm attack in which Kifah Moussa was injured. And two-year-old Hassan al-Hassan (wounded in the head). Then there was 70-year-old Asia Sheikh Murad from Shiya – with head wounds on 23 January. And 46-year-old Khaled Mohamed Ali Abdul Qadr with head wounds – again, for houses collapsed on their owners – in Maryameen. And Hamid Battal, aged 30, from Fkeiro and Ghengis Ahmad Khalil, whose warrior name did not prevent the 20-year-old from suffering stomach wounds at Midan Ekbes. Sudqi Abdul Rahman, who is 47, was wounded in the leg by shrapnel at Ruzio-Jendeeres on 25 January. A 75-year-old, Shamsa Moussa, is listed as receiving “multiple broken bones” in the village of Rajow on 23 January.


The list of the dead – 10 children, seven women, 17 men – is bleaker, for the hospital had not bothered to catalogue their wounds. They include infants. One-year old Wael al-Hussein, a refugee (who surely could not have known it) from the village of Jebbarah, was killed on 21 January, six-year old Moussab al-Hussein from Idlib (clearly from another refugee family) on the same day. 60-year-old Fatima Mohamed from the village of Arabo was killed in Jendeeres on 23 January. Abdulkader Menam Hamo from Jamo was killed on 24 January.

There will be no war memorials for them – as there are for Kurdish fighters in the military graveyard some miles from Afrin, most of them killed fighting Isis – and no record of their deaths, save, perhaps, for the cold lists in Dr Polat’s files -- each stamped, in Kurdish, “Avrin Hospital”. ...

3  European view on the WORLD / on Geopolitical REGIONS / too many civilian Kurds (+Foreign Tourists) recently killed in Turkey by bombs on: August 23, 2016, 04:36:51 PM
Too many Kurdish civilian people killed in Turkey, during a long series of "Terrorist" bomb attacks, since the Ankara "Peace" demonstration by dissidents to Mr. Erdogan's regime, etc., added also to several Foreign Tourists from certain key countries, (f.ex. that German Group who were killed in Istanbul, etc).

In parallel, there are even those Deadly Strikes between the Turkish Military, Police, etc., and the PKK, tragically perpetuating a long conflict of 32 years...

However, thanks God (of all involved), for the rest, ISIS hasn't apparently aimed against any mainly Turkish civilian target, (neither revendicated any such target), contrary to what it usually does in all other countries, all over the world.

So that Turkey astonishingly remains a unique exception, vis a vis ISIS, from what we see everywhere else.

And, today, Ankara's officials are obliged to acknowledge, that, in fact, they don't even know yet who killed more than 50 civlian Kurds in the latest bombing, (since some initial claims were afterwards proven erroneous)...

As for finding and punishing those responsible for that series of deadly bombings against Kurdish civilian people inside Turkey, from those youngsters who wanted to help re-build Syria, Ankara's dissidents for Peace, etc., up to the latest victims at a marriage, nobody should have any illussions...
4  European POLICIES and ISSUES / Enlargement - Foreign Policy / 2nd Bomb v. Dissidents in Turkey: Regime's Terrorism links Questioned on: October 10, 2015, 04:29:58 PM
After the 2nd massive Deadly Terrorist Attack, Killing and Wounding more and more Political Dissidents, unarmed and defenseless Civilian People, during Peaceful Gatherings, these last Months in Turkey, (particularly pro-Kurdish, but also various Other Dissidents), anyone who might, eventually, make any more Concessions to a Murderous Regime, will be irrevocably Stigmatized in EU Citizens' Hearts and Minds, as well as in front of all the People of the World, and go down in History as a Vile and Hypocritic Traitor to Human Rights and Democratic Values, for Ever !

Recent Facts clearly indicate that it's not only ISIL's Extreme Islamic Terrorists who seem to have various Complicities inside Turkey, (f.ex. on Recruits, Oil Smuggling, Arms Trafficking, Attacks against Syrians, Kurds, and/or Russians whenever they try to really Deal with ISIL, etc).

Moreover, according to all International Media, the Turkish Police, not only didn't ever arrest, nor punished anyone (not even one !) among the those who Organized these Horrible Massacers of Peaceful Civilians, but, on the Contrary, it had just Opened Fire with Lethal Arms' Shootings, etc., in order to Intimidate and disperse even a Simple, Spontaneous and obviously Legitimate Protest by those who Survived among the Victims, their Friends and various other People horrified by such Cowardish, Deadly Brutality against Political Dissidents, at the Eve of a crucial forthcoming Election in Turkey...
5  European view on the WORLD / on Global ISSUES / 30 Kurds Killed in Turkey-Ankara accused for Terror Massacre under ISIS disguise on: July 20, 2015, 09:58:28 PM
More than 30 Kurds were brutaly Killed and about 100 seriously Wounded in Turkey, where Kurdish Groups accused Ankara's Government to Kill and Terrorize Kurds under the Mask of ISIL, the extremist islamic terrorists that the Turkish State has been notoriously denounced by various other sources to have helped gain money with trafficking, get new recruits, buy Arms, etc., at its Borders to Syria and Iraq.

Indeed, after a Bomb exploded at the Kurdish Cultural Centre of Suruc, close to Turkey's borders to Syria, where Volunteers (mainly young students, but also old people, including women) had gathered in order to help re-build the Syrian Kurdish city of Kobane, which had been notoriously targetted by numerous ISIL's deadly attacks, a few Months ago, interim Turkish Prime MInister Davutoglou attributed also this massacre of civilians again to ISIL, and send the Turkish Police to face with Gas public protest by demonstrators at Istanbul etc...

Recently, even Turkish President Erdogan, admitted (after Photographs of Rockets shiped by trucks from Turkey to Syria provoked a Scandal involving the Turkish security services) that Ankara had, indeed, supported rebels inside Syria including by shiping them deadly rockets and other arms...

Already, during the latest National Elections in Turkey, several Bomb Attacks had hit the pro-Kurdish Party HDP, which succeeded, nevertheless, to win more than 10% of the votes Nationwide, ovrecoming a controversial threshhold of the Turkish Electoral System, which allowed it to get some MPs, for the first time after decades of forced non-representation.

The targetted students from Youth Associations, who were killed or wounded by an explosion when they tried to speak to the Press, had been reportedly planning a trip to Kobane to build a library, a playground and plant a forest.

In parallel, an almost simultaneous explosion around Kobane, killed another 2 Kurds, at the other side of the Turkey-Syria border.
6  European view on the WORLD / on Geopolitical REGIONS / Islamo-Fascist option in Turkey ? on: June 22, 2015, 04:36:54 AM
Recent rumours, after the latest Turkish Elections, that the Islamic Party AKP would consider a Coalition Government together with the Extreme Right Nationalists of MHP, (traditionaly linked to the controversial ..."Gray Wolves" Extremists, whose salute -immitating a Wolf !- still reportedly uses Today MPH's Leader), doesn't prejudge, obviousy, Nothing good...

=> Will Turkey fall down to an even Worse than before political regime of a kind of ... Islamo-Fascist dangerous Extremism ?
7  European AGENDA / of European COUNTRIES / real results of the vote (against false appearances) on: May 26, 2015, 11:50:29 PM
Interesting analysis of facts on the real results of the vote (and their possible political consequences) :

 http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/irelandreferendumboostsnaturalfamilypopularmovement.html

It makes a positive difference from the Establishment's Media massive propaganda's "Tsunami" against natural family and births, grossly distording and hidding real facts, massively repeating always the same and the same simplistic leitmotiv which abuses of the Peuple as if they were a herd of sheeps without any independent and critical brain, (which looks more like Orwell's 1984 "Thought Police")...

You might not agree with everything that is said there, but, at least, there is a real effort of critical analysis, from an original point of view, of all real, relevant FACTS.
8  European AGENDA / of European COUNTRIES / Re: Support"No" to Irish Referendum against Natural Family+Births (Same Sex Mariage) on: May 22, 2015, 05:17:05 PM

......--> Because, behind the Lobby of only a part of the Homosexual Minority, the Hypocritical/naive bla-bla about "Love" (sic !), etc, is hidden a bigger, and much more Dangerous Lobby of unscrupulous Technocrats, secretely searching to Seize Power on the Procreation of Human Beings, and Impose their Dictature by spreading various forms of Artificial, "Medically Assisted" Births, that several Homosexual "couples" will demand, since they are all Infertile,  instead and to the detriment of Natural Bitrths of Children by Natural Families, composed by a Man and a Woman, who are normaly Fertile and don't need that.

Such a Danger obviously threatens to Push towards several Horrible Nightmares and Hells, against any really Democratic Society, and to the detriment of Humankind in general, that have been already described, at least partly, among others, also by world-famous Writers such as Aldus Huxley (in "Brave New World"), HG.Wells (in "Time Machine"), Orwells ("1984"), or in "the Island of Dr. Moreau", etc.

If our Irish "Leftists" might wish another such Writer, not British and perhaps closer to their taste, they can usefely read what is considered to be, perhaps, the Historic No 1 Book denouncing the above-mentioned Dangers against Humankind, (which inspired, it seems, even Huxley himself, as well as others) :  The good Book of Russian (even former "Bolshevik" of the 1917 Revolution !) writer Eugene Zamiatin (or Yevgeny Zamyatin) : -"WE" (i.e. us), published first, while at Exile in Paris, in French, and later-on in New York, in English, since almost the beginning of the 20th Century !



Today, our usual Leaders may be ignorant and/or manipulated, particularly by Obama-led lobby of USA+ big businesses' technocrats, (even if some among them, old and young, dared say "No", risking a too comfortabel career, but winning People's Hearts).
....


---------------------

...

Some, by gross Ignorance or, rather, Hypocrisy, make claims about a so-called "Equality", etc. But, in fact, what is really at stake, seriously risks to push towards what could become the Greatest Inequality in History, and not merely to Racism, but definitively to real different Races !....

Thanks, but for me and our Family and Friends, it's "NO" !

(But you should have better spoken much earlier).

10  EU ELECTIONS / Political PARTIES - CANDIDATES / Citizens' Preference Vote, instead of Closed List chosen by2014 EU Chair, Greece on: February 13, 2014, 02:56:53 PM

In order to give Wider possibilities for Choice to EU Citizens, and bring the May 2014 EU Election "closer to the People", present EU 2014 Chair, Greece, reportedly decided, for the 1st time, to introduce an Electoral System of "Preference Vote" :

 - Each EU Citizen will be able to choose (f.ex. by marking with a Cross one or another among the Names of the Candidates who figure in the List presented by his favorite political party) the Candidate that he/she prefers, and the order of his preferences.

To facilitate that move, all Parties' Lists must Double the Number of Candidates that they will present to May 2014 EU Elections, resulting in much more Numerous EU Candidates than ever in the History of the country...
11  European view on the WORLD / on Global ISSUES / Obama's NSA spied Pope Benedict's most Crucial Days, until Pope Francis'election on: November 06, 2013, 10:43:47 PM
US President Obama's NSA was spying even on Vatican during the most crucial days just before the unprecedented resignation of Pope emeritus Benedict, up to the election of his successor, current Pope Francis, denounced Italian Media "Panorama", reported by mainstream Press Agencies.

"According to ...one of Italy’s two largest weekly magazines, the NSA monitoring began on Dec. 10, 2012", and “it is feared,....that phone calls were listened to up until the beginning of the conclave that elected Francis, the former Jorge Mario Cardinal Bergoglio of Argentina, on March 13" 2013.

"The monitored calls included those to the Casa Santa Marta guesthouse, where the soon-to-be pope and the rest of the College of Cardinals stayed during the conclave", New York Post reported. "The recorded Vatican phone calls were catalogued by the NSA in 4 categories: Leadership intentions, threats to the Financial system, Foreign-policy objectives and Human rights", (i.e. including BioEthics : a notoriously controversial issue between Pope emeritus Benedict and USPresident Obama)...

15  European view on the WORLD / on Global ISSUES / 35 $ Computer by India ? on: July 24, 2010, 01:13:56 AM


After USA MIT's, UN-backed, Greek-American Professor Nicholas Negroponte's famous "One Laptop for each Child" Plan to produce a 100$ Computer, (in the meantime sold $ 200), now India steps in with a project to fabricate a new Computer costing only 35 $ apiece (subsidised by the Indian State for Students to bring price down to 20 $) !

The main idea is to use Memory Cards, Tablet design and Open source Software, added to a State's political will. Word processing, Internet browsing, and Video Conference abilities, as well as a Solar Power option are scheduled for "the Cheapest Computer in the World".

Interested Manufacturers are reportedly lining up to get Indian State's preference for a forthcoming deal.
