The secrecy around deaths after covid-19 vaccination

Transparency on adverse events following immunisation alone can gain the confidence of the people

Despite four successive lockdowns, COVID-19 cases and deaths kept mounting day by day till mid-September last year. Since January 16, 2021, we have two vaccines under emergency use authorisation, now being given to all those aged 45 and above. More than 100 million doses have been administered so far. Such a gigantic mission entails a greater responsibility on the part of the government to watch out for unintended harm or collateral damage from the vaccine. There are committees of technical experts to monitor ‘adverse events following immunisation’ (AEFI) and there are established mechanisms by the World Health Organization (WHO) to monitor, investigate and report such events.

The common man relies on a responsible and responsive government to safeguard him against any vaccine-induced harm, including an unfortunate death. Although 180 deaths out of the 617 severe and serious adverse events up to end March were supposed to have followed COVID-19 vaccination, no case of serious AEFI, including death, has been attributed to the COVID-19 vaccine. ‘There is no link to vaccination’ is the quick response by authorities even before a systematic investigation, including a post-mortem examination, is completed. A line list of less than 15 deaths are visible to the public on the Ministry of Health website. The time of death or the period of gap between the vaccination and death is not mentioned. Some deaths are not even fully documented. Knowing the time line pattern of deaths after vaccination is important.

180 deaths following vaccination reported in India till March 29

Media reports indicate that many deaths after taking AstraZeneca’s Covishield occurred due to cardiac arrest, cerebral venous thrombosis, and stroke. Deaths in Germany and Norway were also due to clots or thrombus formation following a jab of AstraZeneca’s vaccine. Ireland, Denmark and Iceland are among the countries which have suspended AstraZeneca’s vaccine.

In India, Dr. N.K. Arora, Adviser, National AEFI Committee, and member of the COVID-19 National Task Force, said that “in 38 out of 71 post-mortem reports received so far, a causal link to the vaccine has not been established. All the events so far are coincidental”. That means that many cardiac arrests and strokes would have occurred in any case in the population without vaccination. Mere coincidence is not an easy verdict to pronounce unless investigations are thoroughly completed.

Only a histopathological examination of tissues after autopsy can establish the diffused thromboembolic phenomena and multiple infarcts of the heart, lungs, and brain, which is different from the single or couple of clots that occur in heart attacks and strokes normally. There is no evidence of such a thorough investigation being done at the sub-district level in India.

When thousands die due to various illnesses and accidents daily, a bus accident killing 20 people should not make news, but it does. So also nine deaths after 20 million people getting the vaccine in Europe and the U.K. should not cause concern if it is not associated with the vaccine. But if there is an association, the death becomes preventable. That is why the deaths became a serious issue for the European Medicines Agency (EMA). Severe and fatal coagulopathies occurred in young individuals following vaccination, leading more than 15 countries to suspend their AstraZeneca vaccination programme.

After a detailed review and allowing AstraZeneca’s vaccine to be continued, the EMA stated that “the benefits of the vaccine in combating the still widespread threat of COVID-19 (which itself results in clotting problems and may be fatal) continue to outweigh the risk of side effects”. It admitted that the “vaccine may be associated with very rare cases of blood clots associated with thrombocytopenia”.

Concerns raised

Several doctors of global professional standing signed a protest letter, endorsed by many others, to Emer Cooke, Executive Director of the EMA, against this decision. They wrote: “While we recognise that these occurrences might, every one of them, have been unfortunate coincidences, we are concerned that there has been and there continues to be inadequate scrutiny of the possible causes of illness or death under these circumstances, and especially so in the absence of post-mortem examinations. In particular, we question whether cardinal issues regarding the safety of the vaccines were adequately addressed prior to their approval by the European Medicines Agency.”

They assume that the vaccines, which are gene-based agents, will “remain entrapped in the circulation and be taken up by endothelial cells, particularly at sites of slow blood flow, i.e., in small vessels and capillaries... It must be expected that endothelial damage with subsequent triggering of blood coagulation via platelet activation will ensue at countless sites throughout the body.”

They postulate that will lead to “a drop in platelet counts, appearance of D-dimers (bio-marker for disease severity) in the blood, and to myriad ischemic lesions throughout the body including in the brain, spinal cord and heart. Bleeding disorders might occur in the wake of this novel type of Diffused Intravascular Coagulation (DIC) syndrome including profuse bleedings and haemorrhagic stroke.”

Further, “the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein binds to the ACE2 receptor on platelets, which results in their activation. Thrombocytopenia has been reported in severe cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection and in vaccinated individuals.”

They requested evidence that all the above possibilities were excluded in pre-clinical animal models with all three vaccines prior to their approval for use in humans by the EMA.

The approval of the COVID-19 vaccines by the EMA, according to them, was “premature and reckless, and that the administration of the vaccines constitute ‘human experimentation’, which was and still is in violation of the Nuremberg Code”. The Code prohibits human experimentation of the very kind being endorsed and defended by the EMA.

Under these circumstances in Europe, our AEFI monitoring system cannot be so casual about more than 180 deaths in the country. Any death allegedly caused by the COVID-19 vaccine must be thoroughly documented after autopsy and histopathological examination and the results must be made known to the health staff and scientific community.

Science and welfare of humanity must prevail above political mileage. A discerning public will recognise the humility of a responsible caring government in admitting its dilemma based on the adverse events from the field versus wider benefits from mass vaccination. That honesty and transparency on AEFI alone can gain the confidence of the people in taking a calculated risk of continuing with a controversial vaccine. The mist of vaccine hesitancy will melt away quickly by the warm light of truth, if only it is shared.

Covid -19 टीकाकरण के बाद मौतों के आसपास की गोपनीयता

 अकेले टीकाकरण के बाद प्रतिकूल घटनाओं पर पारदर्शिता लोगों का विश्वास हासिल कर सकती है

चार क्रमिक लॉकडाउन के बावजूद, COVID-19 मामलों और मौतों में पिछले साल सितंबर के मध्य तक दिन-प्रतिदिन बढ़ते रहे। 16 जनवरी, 2021 से, हमारे पास आपातकालीन उपयोग प्राधिकरण के तहत दो टीके हैं, जो अब 45 वर्ष और उससे अधिक आयु के सभी लोगों को दिए जा रहे हैं। अब तक 100 मिलियन से अधिक खुराक प्रशासित किए गए हैं। इस तरह के एक विशाल मिशन को सरकार की ओर से टीके से अनपेक्षित नुकसान या संपार्श्विक क्षति के लिए बाहर देखने के लिए एक बड़ी जिम्मेदारी है। टीकाकरण के बाद following प्रतिकूल घटनाओं की निगरानी करने के लिए तकनीकी विशेषज्ञों की समितियाँ हैं (AEFI) और ऐसे आयोजनों की निगरानी, ​​जाँच और रिपोर्ट करने के लिए विश्व स्वास्थ्य संगठन (WHO) द्वारा स्थापित तंत्र हैं।

आम आदमी एक जिम्मेदार और उत्तरदायी सरकार पर निर्भर करता है कि वह किसी भी वैक्सीन-प्रेरित नुकसान से बचाने के लिए दुर्भाग्यपूर्ण मौत सहित। हालांकि मार्च के अंत तक 617 गंभीर और गंभीर प्रतिकूल घटनाओं में से 180 मौतों के बाद COVID-19 टीकाकरण का पालन किया जाना था, मौत सहित गंभीर AEFI के किसी भी मामले को COVID-19 टीका नहीं ठहराया गया है। ‘टीकाकरण की कोई कड़ी नहीं है’ एक व्यवस्थित जांच से पहले अधिकारियों द्वारा त्वरित प्रतिक्रिया है, जिसमें एक पोस्टमार्टम परीक्षा शामिल है, पूरा हो गया है। स्वास्थ्य मंत्रालय की वेबसाइट पर 15 से कम मौतों की एक सूची जनता को दिखाई दे रही है। मृत्यु का समय या टीकाकरण और मृत्यु के बीच की अवधि का उल्लेख नहीं किया गया है। कुछ मौतें भी पूरी तरह से प्रलेखित नहीं हैं। टीकाकरण के बाद होने वाली मौतों का समय रेखा पैटर्न जानना महत्वपूर्ण है।

भारत में 29 मार्च तक टीकाकरण के बाद 180 मौतें हुईं

मीडिया रिपोर्टों से पता चलता है कि एस्ट्राज़ेनेका कोविशिल्ड लेने के बाद कई मौतें कार्डियक अरेस्ट, सेरेब्रल वेनस थ्रोम्बोसिस और स्ट्रोक के कारण हुईं। जर्मनी और नॉर्वे में मौतें एस्ट्राज़ेनेका के टीके की एक थैली के कारण थक्के या थ्रोम्बस के गठन के कारण हुईं। आयरलैंड, डेनमार्क और आइसलैंड उन देशों में शामिल हैं, जिन्होंने एस्ट्राजेनेका के टीके को निलंबित कर दिया है।


भारत में, डॉ। एन.के. अरोड़ा, एडवाइजर, नेशनल AEFI कमेटी, और COVID-19 नेशनल टास्क फोर्स के सदस्य, ने कहा कि “अब तक प्राप्त 71 पोस्टमार्टम रिपोर्ट में से 38 में, वैक्सीन के लिए एक कारण लिंक स्थापित नहीं किया गया है। अब तक की सभी घटनाएँ संयोग हैं। इसका मतलब है कि टीकाकरण के बिना आबादी में किसी भी मामले में कई कार्डियक अरेस्ट और स्ट्रोक हुए होंगे। जब तक जांच पूरी तरह से पूरी नहीं हो जाती, तब तक महज इत्तेफाक उच्चारण करना आसान फैसला नहीं है।

केवल शव परीक्षा के बाद ऊतकों की एक हिस्टोपैथोलॉजिकल परीक्षा दिल और फेफड़े, और मस्तिष्क के विसरित थ्रोम्बोम्बोलिक घटना और एकाधिक रोधगलन की स्थापना कर सकती है, जो दिल के दौरे और सामान्य रूप से स्ट्रोक होने वाले एकल या जोड़े के थक्के से अलग होती है। भारत में उप-जिला स्तर पर इस तरह की गहन जांच का कोई सबूत नहीं है।

जब रोजाना हजारों लोग विभिन्न बीमारियों और दुर्घटनाओं के कारण मर जाते हैं, तो 20 लोगों की जान लेने वाली बस दुर्घटना को समाचार नहीं बनाना चाहिए, लेकिन यह होता है। इसलिए यूरोप में 20 मिलियन लोगों को वैक्सीन मिलने के बाद नौ मौतों और यू.के. को वैक्सीन से जुड़े नहीं होने पर चिंता नहीं करनी चाहिए। लेकिन अगर कोई संगति है, तो मृत्यु रोके जा सकती है। यही कारण है कि मौतें यूरोपीय मेडिसिन एजेंसी (ईएमए) के लिए एक गंभीर मुद्दा बन गईं। टीकाकरण के बाद युवा व्यक्तियों में गंभीर और घातक coagulopathies हुआ, जिससे 15 से अधिक देशों ने अपने एस्ट्राजेनेका टीकाकरण कार्यक्रम को निलंबित कर दिया।

विस्तृत समीक्षा के बाद और एस्ट्राजेनेका के टीके को जारी रखने की अनुमति देने के बाद, ईएमए ने कहा कि "COVID-19 के खतरे के व्यापक खतरे का मुकाबला करने में वैक्सीन के लाभों (जो कि खुद को थका देने वाली समस्याओं का परिणाम देता है और घातक हो सकता है) को जारी रखता है। दुष्प्रभाव"। यह स्वीकार किया कि "वैक्सीन थ्रोम्बोसाइटोपेनिया से जुड़े रक्त के थक्कों के बहुत ही दुर्लभ मामलों से जुड़ा हो सकता है"।

चिंता जताई

वैश्विक पेशेवर स्थायी के कई डॉक्टरों ने इस फैसले के खिलाफ, ईएमए के कार्यकारी निदेशक एमर कुक को कई अन्य लोगों के समर्थन में एक विरोध पत्र पर हस्ताक्षर किए। उन्होंने लिखा: “जब तक हम समझते हैं कि ये घटनाएँ हो सकती हैं, उनमें से हर एक, दुर्भाग्यपूर्ण संयोग रहा है, हम चिंतित हैं कि वहाँ रहा है और इन परिस्थितियों में बीमारी या मृत्यु के संभावित कारणों की अपर्याप्त जांच जारी है और विशेष रूप से इसलिए पोस्टमार्टम परीक्षाओं के अभाव में। विशेष रूप से, हम सवाल करते हैं कि क्या वैक्सीन की सुरक्षा से संबंधित कार्डिनल मुद्दों को यूरोपीय मेडिसिन एजेंसी द्वारा उनकी मंजूरी से पहले पर्याप्त रूप से संबोधित किया गया था। ”

वे मानते हैं कि टीके, जो जीन-आधारित एजेंट हैं, "प्रचलन में उलझे रहेंगे और एंडोथेलियल कोशिकाओं द्वारा उठाए जाएंगे, विशेष रूप से धीमे रक्त प्रवाह की साइटों पर, अर्थात, छोटे जहाजों और केशिकाओं में ... यह उम्मीद की जानी चाहिए। प्लेटलेट सक्रियण के माध्यम से रक्त जमावट के बाद के ट्रिगरिंग के साथ कि एंडोथेलियल क्षति पूरे शरीर में अनगिनत साइटों पर होगी। "

वे बताते हैं कि "प्लेटलेट काउंट में गिरावट, रक्त में डी-डिमर्स (रोग की गंभीरता के लिए जैव-मार्कर) की उपस्थिति और मस्तिष्क, रीढ़ की हड्डी और हृदय सहित पूरे शरीर में असंख्य इस्कीमिक घावों के लिए नेतृत्व करेंगे। ब्लीडिंग डिसऑर्डर और हैमरेजिक स्ट्रोक सहित डिफ्यूज्ड इंट्रावस्कुलर कोएगुलेशन (डीआईसी) सिंड्रोम के इस प्रकार के उपन्यास के मद्देनजर ब्लीडिंग विकार हो सकता है। ”

इसके अलावा, “SARS-CoV-2 स्पाइक प्रोटीन प्लेटलेट्स पर ACE2 रिसेप्टर को बांधता है, जिसके परिणामस्वरूप उनकी सक्रियता होती है। थ्रोम्बोसाइटोपेनिया को SARS-CoV-2 संक्रमण के गंभीर मामलों और टीकाकृत व्यक्तियों में बताया गया है। ”

उन्होंने सबूतों का अनुरोध किया कि ईएमए द्वारा मनुष्यों में उपयोग के लिए उनकी मंजूरी से पहले सभी तीन टीकों के साथ पूर्व-नैदानिक ​​पशु मॉडल में उपरोक्त सभी संभावनाओं को बाहर रखा गया था।

ईएमए द्वारा COVID-19 टीकों का अनुमोदन, उनके अनुसार, "समय से पहले और लापरवाह था, और यह कि टीकों का प्रशासन experiment मानव प्रयोग 'का गठन करता है, जो अभी भी नूर्नबर्ग कोड का उल्लंघन था।" कोड ईएमए द्वारा समर्थित और बचाव किए जा रहे बहुत तरह के मानव प्रयोग को प्रतिबंधित करता है।

यूरोप में इन परिस्थितियों में, हमारे AEFI निगरानी प्रणाली देश में 180 से अधिक मौतों के बारे में इतना आकस्मिक नहीं हो सकता। सीओवीआईडी ​​-19 वैक्सीन के कारण कथित तौर पर किसी भी मौत को शव परीक्षण और हिस्टोपैथोलॉजिकल परीक्षा के बाद पूरी तरह से प्रलेखित किया जाना चाहिए और परिणाम स्वास्थ्य कर्मचारियों और वैज्ञानिक समुदाय को पता होना चाहिए।

मानवता का विज्ञान और कल्याण राजनीतिक लाभ से ऊपर होना चाहिए। एक समझदार जनता एक जिम्मेदार देखभाल सरकार की सामूहिक दुविधा से व्यापक लाभ बनाम मैदान से प्रतिकूल घटनाओं के आधार पर अपनी दुविधा को स्वीकार करने में पहचान लेगी। अकेले AEFI पर ईमानदारी और पारदर्शिता विवादास्पद टीका के साथ जारी रहने की गणना जोखिम लेने में लोगों का विश्वास हासिल कर सकती है। टीके की झिझक की धुंध सच्चाई की गर्म रोशनी से जल्दी पिघल जाएगी, अगर केवल इसे साझा किया जाए।

Picture of Agra Qila (Red Fort) taken in 1940

 *Old Photograph of Agra Red Fort 1940*

इस तस्वीर को 1940 में लिया गया है। इसका size 17.5 ×11.5 inch है। 




जीवन के अंतिम दिनों में, शाहजहां को उसके पुत्र औरंगज़ेब ने इस ही किले में बंदी बना दिया था। यह भी कहा जाता है, कि शाहजहां की मृत्यु किले के मुसम्मन बुर्ज में, ताजमहल को देखेते हुए हुई थी। इस बुर्ज के संगमर्मर के झरोखों से ताजमहल का बहुत ही सुंदर दृश्य दिखता है।


यह किला 1857 का प्रथम भारतीय स्वतंत्रता संग्राम के समय युद्ध स्थली भी बना। जिसके बाद भारत से ब्रिटिश ईस्ट इंडिया कंपनी का राज्य समाप्त हुआ, व एक लगभग शताब्दी तक ब्रिटेन का सीधे शासन चला। जिसके बाद सीधे स्वतंत्रता ही मिली।


This is a picture of Agra Qila (Red Fort) taken in 1940. In the last days of his life, Shah Jahan was imprisoned by his son Aurangzeb in this fort. It is also said that Shah Jahan died in the Musaman Burj of the fort, overlooking the Taj Mahal. The palace has a very beautiful view of the Taj Mahal from the confluence of this bastion. This fort also became a battle ground during the first Indian independence struggle of 1857.

4-minute bursts of intense exercise may be the secret to longevity

 Synopsis

If you increase your heart rate, will your life span follow?

iStock
And adding life to years, not only years to life, is an important aspect of healthy ageing.













If you increase your heart rate, will your life span follow?

That possibility is at the heart of an ambitious new study of exercise and mortality. The study, one of the largest and longest-term experimental examinations to date of exercise and mortality, shows that older men and women who exercise in almost any fashion are relatively unlikely to die prematurely. But if some of that exercise is intense, the study also finds, the risk of early mortality declines even more, and the quality of people’s lives climbs.

Scientists have known for some time, of course, that active people tend also to be long-lived people. According to multiple past studies, regular exercise is strongly associated with greater longevity, even if the exercise amounts to only a few minutes a week.

But almost all of these studies have been observational, meaning they looked at people’s lives at a moment in time, determined how much they moved at that point, and later checked to see whether and when they died. Such studies can pinpoint associations between exercise and life spans, but they cannot prove that moving actually causes people to live longer, only that activity and longevity are linked.

To find out if exercise directly affects life spans, researchers would have to enroll volunteers in long-term, randomized controlled trials, with some people exercising, while others work out differently or not at all. The researchers then would have to follow all of these people for years, until a sufficient number died to allow for statistical comparisons of the groups.

Such studies, however, are dauntingly complicated and expensive, one reason they are rarely done. They may also be limited, since over the course of a typical experiment, few adults may die. This is providential for those who enroll in the study but problematic for the scientists hoping to study mortality; with scant deaths, they cannot tell if exercise is having a meaningful impact on life spans.

Those obstacles did not deter a group of exercise scientists at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim, Norway, however. With colleagues from other institutions, they had been studying the impacts of various types of exercise on heart disease and fitness and felt the obvious next step was to look at longevity. So, almost 10 years ago, they began planning the study that would be published in October in The BMJ.

Their first step was to invite every septuagenarian in Trondheim to participate. Mortality studies involving older people are the most likely to return useful data, the scientists reasoned, since, realistically, there will be more deaths among the elderly than the young, making it possible to compare differences in longevity between study groups.

More than 1,500 of the Norwegian men and women accepted. These volunteers were, in general, healthier than most 70-year-olds. Some had heart disease, cancer or other conditions, but most regularly walked or otherwise remained active. Few were obese. All agreed to start and continue to exercise more regularly during the upcoming five years.

The scientists tested the subjects' current aerobic fitness as well as their subjective feelings about the quality of their lives and then randomly assigned them to one of three groups. The first, as a control, agreed to follow standard activity guidelines and walk or otherwise remain in motion for half an hour most days. (The scientists did not feel they could ethically ask their control group to be sedentary for five years.)

Another group began exercising moderately for longer sessions of 50 minutes twice a week. And the third group started a program of twice-weekly high-intensity interval training, or HIIT, during which they cycled or jogged at a strenuous pace for four minutes, followed by four minutes of rest, with that sequence repeated four times.

Almost everyone kept up their assigned exercise routines for five years, an eternity in science, returning periodically to the lab for check-ins, tests and supervised group workouts. During that time, the scientists noted that quite a few of the participants in the control had dabbled with interval-training classes at local gyms, on their own initiative and apparently for fun. The other groups did not alter their routines.

After five years, the researchers checked death registries and found that about 4.6% of all of the original volunteers had died during the study, a lower number than in the wider Norwegian population of 70-year-olds, indicating these active older people were, on the whole, living longer than others of their age.

But they also found interesting, if slight, distinctions between the groups. The men and women in the high-intensity-intervals group were about 2% less likely to have died than those in the control group, and 3% less likely to die than anyone in the longer, moderate-exercise group. People in the moderate group were, in fact, more likely to have died than people in the control group.

The men and women in the interval group also were more fit now and reported greater gains in their quality of life than the other volunteers.

In essence, said Dorthe Stensvold, a researcher at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology who led the new study, intense training — which was part of the routines of both the interval and control groups — provided slightly better protection against premature death than moderate workouts alone.

Of course, exercise was not a panacea, she adds. Some people still sickened and died, whatever their workout program. (No one died while exercising.) This study also focused on Norwegians, who tend to be preternaturally healthy, and most of us, perhaps regrettably, are not Norwegians. We also may not yet be in our 70s.

But Stensvold believes the study’s message can be broadly applicable to almost all of us. “We should try to include some exercise with high intensity,” she said. “Intervals are safe and feasible for most people. And adding life to years, not only years to life, is an important aspect of healthy aging, and the higher fitness and health-related quality of life from HIIT in this study is an important finding.”
