160 Americans Died & Over 10,000 Infected with Covid-19 Despite being Fully Vaccinated says CDC, but Claims it is Rare!

Posted on Leave a comment
Way more than ten thousand Americans have contracted Covid-19 despite being fully vaccinated, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention – however they walked this back by claiming the data suggests such “breakthrough” infections are relatively rare?

As of April 30 there were 10,262 cases of fully vaccinated people being infected with Covid-19, said the CDC this week, quoting statistics from 46 American states and territories. While 1.6% (160) actually died, less than 7% of the patients were hospitalized with Covid-19 symptoms. 63% of those infected were female and the median age for all cases was 58.

“The number of Covid-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths that will be prevented among vaccinated persons will far exceed the number of vaccine bre

Facebook Stops Banning Posts About Covid Leak from Wuhan Lab! So What Else is Big Tech Wrong About? US Elections 2020?

Posted on Leave a comment

Big tech giants like Facebook and Twitter are now well and truly the self appointed “Orwellian” arbiters of the truth “regardless of the facts,” said Sky News host Rita Panahi, after Facebook decided to reverse its policy last week and stopped banning posts, which suggested COVID-19 was man-made and released from the lab in Wuhan, China, where the pandemic started.

The idea was considered a conspiracy theory and false by pro China Facebook (Mark Zuckerberg’s wife is Chinese), which meant it would ban posts pushing or even mentioning the idea, and punish the poster.

The Wuhan lab leak theory however has gained renewed traction in recent weeks in mainstream media, which saw scientists express openness to the idea, with Joe Biden himself ordering an urgent investigation.

Skynews’ Ms Panahi said the way in which the tech giants like Facebook conduct their platforms is “Orwellian” because “They decide what’s true and what’s n

Reporters Without Borders (RSF) Slams EFF & ANC Regime for Increased Censorship & Authoritarianism During Covid19 Pandemic!

Posted on Leave a comment

Reporters Without Borders (RSF) have released their annual report on Press Freedom, citing a “dramatic deterioration” in press freedom globally, during the pandemic, citing THREE TIMES more arrests & attacks in Africa. It accused the EFF & ANC regime in South Africa of abusing Apartheid-era legislation and terrorism laws to limit coverage of government institutions, falsely claiming “national interest” to be at risk. The report says ANC state security agencies spy on some journalists and tap their phones, while some are harassed and subjected to intimidation or smear campaigns if they try to cover certain subjects, involving the African National Congress regime (ANC), its government finances, the redistribution of white owned land without compensation to blacks or corruption.

Reporters Without Borders state that it is not unusual for journalists in South Africa, especially women journalists, to be mocked, insulted and even threatened on social media, sometimes by

South African Doctor Barred From Medical Practice For Speaking The Truth: Abortion is The Killing of an Unborn Human!

Posted on Leave a comment

Former Military Hospital doctor, Dr Jacques de Vos, has been charged by the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) for advising that abortion is the killing of an unborn human being. The complaint against Dr. De Vos and the denial of signing off his service is from the Military hospital and the HPCSA, who have entertained the complaint have taken a long time to hear it.

Dr De Vos, who is a member of Doctors For Life International (DFL) will finally be able to respond to charges after waiting more than two years since being barred from practicing as a doctor.

Dr De Vos was a medical intern at 2 Military Hospital when he was suspended from the gynaecology rotation and refused to be signed off. As a result, Dr De Vos has also been prevented from commencing his community service year, effectively barring him from practicing medicine in South Africa for the past two years.

The University of Cape Town research focus on combating poverty-related heart disease in Africa

Posted on Leave a comment

According to studies, one of the leading causes of death in Africa and many developing countries is cardiovascular disease (CVD). Resources in low-and-middle-income-countries are limited, therefore, it is imperative that interventions are guided by the cost-effectiveness of screening and early treatment opportunities.

The University of Cape Town (UCT) is leading comprehensive research programmes on CVD, at its Departments of Surgery and Medicine within the Faculty of Health Sciences and at Groote Schuur Hospital. These programmes focus on combating diseases related to poverty, such as rheumatic heart disease, pericardial disease, cardiomyopathy and heart failure.

Peperduur Albert Nzula-hospitaal in Trompsburg nou ‘net ’n kliniek’

Posted on Leave a comment

‘n Peperduur hospitaal in Trompsburg in die Vrystaat, wat vier jaar nadat dit voltooi is eers oopgemaak het, word steeds nie ten volle gebruik nie en nog ’n hospitaal in dieselfde provinsie word net as kliniek gebruik.

Die Albert Nzula-hospitaal langs die N1-snelweg is in 2014 teen amper R400 miljoen voltooi, maar het eers verlede jaar sy deure vir pasiënte oopgemaak. Nou blyk dit sleutelposte is steeds nie gevul nie en operasieteaters, wat ten duurste toegerus is, staan in onbruik.

Die hospitaal sou oorspronklik R286 miljoen gekos het.

Die perseel huisves die hospitaal met 74 beddens, ’n kraam­afdeling, ’n ongevalleafdeling met ’n helikopterlandingsblad, agt teaters, ’n rehabilitasiesentrum, ortopediese terapie en ’n lykshuis.

Maar volgens Mariette Pittaway, DA-lid van die provinsiale wetgewer in die Vrystaat, funksioneer die hospitaal grotendeels as ’n kliniek.

“Pasiënte word hier slegs ge­diagnoseer en dan na die Pelonomi-

Gautengse gesondheidsdepartement laat pasiënte weer honger ly

Posted on Leave a comment

Sowat 130 nieregeringsorganisasies (NRO’s) is Donderdag weer in die steek gelaat deur die Gautengse gesondheidsdepartement. Die NRO’s, wat almal omsien na verstandelik gestremde private pasiënte in Gauteng, is belowe dat hulle op 10 Mei hul subsidies vir April sal kry. Donderdag is hulle egter by ’n streeksvergadering ingelig dat hulle nie hul geld gaan kry nie.

“Ons het ook geen antwoorde gekry oor wanneer ons dit gaan kry nie. Dis nou middel Mei en ons sukkel,” sê Marius Bosman, bestuurder van die San Michele-tehuis in Brakpan.

“Dit kom doodeenvoudig daarop neer dat ons nie geld het om die mense in ons sorg ordentlik te versorg nie. Ons praat nou hier van basiese behoeftes soos kos om te eet, salarisse wat betaal moet word vir versorgers, die betaling van verskaffers en die belangrikste van alles, ons elektrisiteitsrekening. In die somermaande is dit sowat R75 000 en in die winter gaan dit op na R130 000,” sê ’n moedelose Bosman.

LUR geskok oor pasiënte op bankies en vloere slaap by Church of Scotland-hospitaal

Posted on Leave a comment

Sibongiseni Dhlomo, KwaZulu-Natalse LUR vir gesondheid, het die naweek tydens ʼn verrassingsbesoek aan die Church of Scotland-hospitaal pasiënte wat op bankies en die vloer slaap by die hospitaal aangetref.

Dhlomo het Sondag gevolglik vir die hospitaal se bestuur opdrag gee om ʼn gepaste plek te soek vir pasiënte om te slaap wanneer hulle oornag moet wag vir vervoer om hulle na ander hospitale in Pietermaritzburg te neem.

ʼn Kankerpasiënt en meer as ʼn dosyn ma’s en kinders was onder dié wat gewag het.

“Ek is verras en kwaad dat die kwessie wat lank terug uitgestryk is nie uitgevoer is in die hospitaal nie. Dié pasiënte het hul huise verlaat en hierheen gekom.”

Hy het ook gesê dat hy nie beïndruk is met die higiëne in die hospitaal nie. “Ek het vandag vir mevrou Mamizi Mkhize gesien, sy het gevorderde kanker. Sy moet verdere behandeling by Greys-hospitaal ontvang. Ek het haar aangetref waar sy kniel op die bankie, want sy sê sy kan nie met

The Khayelitsha hospital under the spotlight

Posted on Leave a comment

Poor service at the Khayelitsha District Hospital came under the spotlight at a meeting between hospital management and the Treatment Action Campaign (TAC).

TAC members recounted complaints about staff shortages and bad treatment of patients, issues which had not been resolved in spite of several meetings with management.

Amelia Mfiki said as TAC members were leaving after a meeting last week where they had been told that “everything is good”, a stranger came up to them and complained that a family member who was a patient at the hospital had been wearing the same adult diaper for 24 hours. Staff had not responded to requests to change the diaper.
