Facebook deletes antivax posts as prosecutors warn against spreading false info-Director of the cyber department in the State Attorney’s Office says dissemination of untruths about the coronavirus vaccine could amount to a criminal offense-By TOI STAFF-Today, 12:18 pm-dec 20,20
As Israel kicked off its mass inoculation drive on Sunday, state prosecutors warned that the distribution of false material about the vaccine could amount to a criminal offense as it was announced that Facebook deleted dozens of posts containing falsehoods about the inoculation.The false material was taken down from the social network as part of a joint effort between the tech giant and the cyber division of the State Attorney’s Office.Additionally, four groups were removed from Facebook for propagating false information about vaccinations, prosecutors said.“Dissemination of these publications may constitute a criminal offense,” the cyber division of the State Attorney’s Office said in a statement.According to Channel 13 news, prosecutors have been examining groups that deliberately disseminated false information, including “false content intended to sow panic and motivate people to avoid getting vaccinated.”Haim Wismonsky, director of the cyber department in the State Attorney’s Office, said that false publications about vaccination pose a threat to public health.“The distribution of these false publications may amount to a criminal offense and therefore the department has acted to get them removed from the Facebook platform,” he told the outlet. “These publications may pose a real danger to public health, due to concerns that those exposed to the posts will mistakenly believe that they are true and will refrain from receiving the vaccine.”Facebook said in a blog post earlier this month addressing the matter of false information about the vaccine that it would remove posts that could lead to “imminent physical harm.”Posts that fall afoul of the policy could include phony claims about vaccine safety, efficacy, ingredients or side effects.“For example, we will remove false claims that COVID-19 vaccines contain microchips, or anything else that isn’t on the official vaccine ingredient list,” the company said.Conspiracy theories about the vaccines that are already known to be false will also be removed.Twitter said last week that it will begin removing misinformation about COVID-19 vaccinations from its site.It listed among posts that will removed as those including false claims that the virus is not real, debunked claims about the effects of receiving the vaccine and baseless claims that suggest that immunizations are used to harm or control people.Additionally, a British government report last month found online forums frequented by those opposed to vaccinations are hotbeds of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.Health Minister Yuli Edelstein, who was vaccinated on Saturday evening, last week criticized Israelis who spread fake news and unverified claims about coronavirus vaccines, saying it could cause people to die if they take their advice and refuse to vaccinate.Israel’s vaccine drive officially began in earnest on Sunday morning, with healthcare workers, the president, and the Israel Defense Forces chief of staff set to receive the coronavirus shot throughout the day.From Monday, Israelis aged 60-plus and at-risk populations can receive a vaccine at health maintenance organizations (HMOs) with an appointment.The government hopes to inoculate some 60,000 people per day and as many as two million Israelis by the end of January. But Hebrew media reports said the first week would serve as a pilot program, tamping down expectations that hundreds of thousands of Israelis would be vaccinated within days.Agencies contributed to this report.
New coronavirus variant: What do we know?-By James Gallagher-Health and science correspondent-DEC 20,20
The rapid spread of a new variant of coronavirus has been blamed for the introduction of strict tier four mixing rules for millions of people, harsher restrictions on mixing at Christmas in England, Scotland and Wales, and other countries placing the UK on a travel ban.So how has it gone from being non-existent to the most common form of the virus in parts of England in a matter of months? The government's advisers on new infections have "moderate" confidence that it is more able to transmit than other variants.All the work is at an early stage, contains huge uncertainties and a long list of unanswered questions.As I've written before, viruses mutate all the time and it's vital to keep a laser focus on whether the virus' behaviour is changing.Why is this variant causing concern? Three things are coming together that mean it is attracting attention. It is rapidly replacing other versions of the virus-It has mutations that affect part of the virus likely to be important-Some of those mutations have already been shown in the lab to increase the ability of the virus to infect cells-All of these come together to build a case for a virus that can spread more easily.However, we do not have absolute certainty. New strains can become more common simply by being in the right place at the right time - such as London, which had only tier two restrictions until recently.But already the justification for tier four restrictions is in part to reduce the spread of the variant."Laboratory experiments are required, but do you want to wait weeks or months [to see the results and take action to limit the spread]? Probably not in these circumstances," Prof Nick Loman, from the Covid-19 Genomics UK Consortium, told me.How much faster is it spreading? It was first detected in September. In November around a quarter of cases in London were the new variant. This reached nearly two-thirds of cases in mid-December.You can see how the variant has come to dominate the results of testing in some centres such as the Milton Keynes Lighthouse Laboratory.MK LHL testing data showing increasing prevalence of H69/V70 variant in positive test data - which is detected incidentally by the commonly used 3-gene PCR test. pic.twitter.com/1U0pVR9Bhs— Tony Cox (@The_Soup_Dragon) December 19, 2020-Presentational white space-Mathematicians have been running the numbers on the spread of different variants in an attempt to calculate how much of an edge this one might have.But teasing apart what is due to people's behaviour and what is due to the virus is hard.The figure mentioned by Prime Minister Boris Johnson was that the variant may be up to 70% more transmissible. He said this may be increasing the R number - which indicates if an epidemic is growing or shrinking - by 0.4.That 70% number appeared in a presentation by Dr Erik Volz, from Imperial College London, on Friday.During the talk he said: "It is really too early to tell… but from what we see so far it is growing very quickly, it is growing faster than [a previous variant] ever grew, but it is important to keep an eye on this."There is no "nailed on" figure for how much more infectious the variant may be. Scientists, whose work is not yet public, have told me figures both much higher and much lower than 70%.But there remain questions about whether it is any more infectious at all."The amount of evidence in the public domain is woefully inadequate to draw strong or firm opinions on whether the virus has truly increased transmission," said Prof Jonathan Ball, a virologist at the University of Nottingham.How far has it spread? It is thought the variant either emerged in a patient in the UK or has been imported from a country with a lower ability to monitor coronavirus mutations.The variant can be found across the UK, except Northern Ireland, but it is heavily concentrated in London, the South East and eastern England. Cases elsewhere in the country do not seem to have taken off.Data from Nextstrain, which has been monitoring the genetic codes of the viral samples around the world, suggest cases in Denmark and Australia have come from the UK. The Netherlands has also reported cases.For the UK variant:Outside of the UK, we see very small numbers of sequences in Denmark (a bit hard to see - hidden behind UK circle) & Australia. Their position on the tree indicates that they're likely exports from the UK.6/Nhttps://t.co/20xkiUxAUV pic.twitter.com/1fRboTpWl— Dr Emma Hodcroft (@firefoxx66) December 19, 2020-A similar variant that has emerged in South Africa shares some of the same mutations, but appears to be unrelated to this one.Has this happened before? Yes.The virus that was first detected in Wuhan, China, is not the same one you will find in most corners of the world.The D614G mutation emerged in Europe in February and became the globally dominant form of the virus.Another, called A222V, spread across Europe and was linked to people's summer holiday's in Spain.What do we know about the new mutations? An initial analysis of the new variant has been published and identifies 17 potentially important alterations.There have been changes to the spike protein - this is the key the virus uses to unlock the doorway to our body's cells.One mutation called N501Y alters the most important part of the spike, known as the "receptor-binding domain".This is where the spike makes first contact with the surface of our body's cells. Any changes that make it easier for the virus to get inside are likely to give it an edge."It looks and smells like an important adaptation," said Prof Loman.The other mutation - a H69/V70 deletion, in which a small part of the spike is removed - has emerged several times before, including famously in infected mink.Work by Prof Ravi Gupta at the University of Cambridge has suggested this mutation increases infectivity two-fold in lab experiments.Studies by the same group suggest the mutation makes antibodies from the blood of survivors less effective at attacking the virus.Prof Gupta told me: "It is rapidly increasing, that's what's worried government, we are worried, most scientists are worried."Where has it come from? The variant is unusually highly mutated.The most likely explanation is the variant has emerged in a patient with a weakened immune system that was unable to beat the virus.Instead their body became a breeding ground for the virus to mutate.Does it make the infection more deadly? There is no evidence to suggest that it does, although this will need to be monitored.However, just increasing transmission would be enough to cause problems for hospitals.If the new variant means more people are infected more quickly, that would in turn lead to more people needing hospital treatment.Will the vaccines work against the new variant? Almost certainly yes, or at least for now.All three leading vaccines develop an immune response against the existing spike, which is why the question comes up.Vaccines train the immune system to attack several different parts of the virus, so even though part of the spike has mutated, the vaccines should still work."But if we let it add more mutations, then you start worrying," said Prof Gupta."This virus is potentially on a pathway for vaccine escape, it has taken the first couple of steps towards that."Vaccine escape happens when the virus changes so it dodges the full effect of the vaccine and continues to infect people.This may be the most concerning element of what is happening with the virus.This variant is just the latest to show the virus is continuing to adapt as it infects more and more of us.A presentation by Prof David Robertson, from the University of Glasgow on Friday, concluded: "The virus will probably be able to able to generate vaccine escape mutants."That would put us in a position similar to flu, where the vaccines need to be regularly updated. Fortunately the vaccines we have are very easy to tweak.Follow James on Twitter.
Covid: Nations impose UK travel bans over new variant-Published-DEC 20,20
European nations have begun to apply travel bans with the UK after it reported a more infectious and "out of control" coronavirus variant.Ireland, Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands and Belgium are all halting flights and travel. The measures vary and are initially generally short-term.An EU meeting will be held on Monday morning to discuss a more co-ordinated response.The new variant has spread quickly in London and south-east England.Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Saturday introduced a new tier four level of restrictions for those areas, scrapping a planned relaxation of rules over the Christmas period for millions of people.Top health officials said that there was no evidence the new variant was more deadly, or would react differently to vaccines, but it was proving to be up to 70% more transmissible.Which countries have acted and how? Within hours of the UK announcement on Saturday, the Netherlands said it would ban all passenger flights from the UK from 06:00 (05:00 GMT) on Sunday until 1 January.Pending "greater clarity" on the situation in the UK, the Dutch government said that further "risk of the new virus strain being introduced to the Netherlands should be minimised as much as possible".The country on Sunday reported a daily increase of more than 13,000 cases - a new record, despite tough lockdown measures being applied on 14 December.Belgium is suspending flights and train arrivals from the UK from midnight on Sunday. Prime Minister Alexander De Croo told Belgian television channel VRT the ban would be in place for at least 24 hours as a "precautionary measure", adding "we will see later if we need additional measures".Italy's Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio said on his Facebook page that the government was about to sign a measure to suspend flights from the UK.The first case of the UK variant has also been detected in Italy, the Italian health ministry reported on Sunday. The patient is in isolation in Rome.media caption-In Ireland, the government announced that flights arriving from the UK would be banned for 48 hours at least from midnight, and "in the interests of public health, people in Britain, regardless of nationality, should not travel to Ireland, by air or sea".Ferry crossings for freight would continue.In Germany, an order from the ministry of transport said planes from the UK would not be allowed to land after midnight on Sunday, although cargo would be an exception. Health Minister Jens Spahn said the UK variant had not yet been detected in Germany.France has suspended all travel links including freight lorries with the UK for 48 hours from midnight. It said the period should be used to provide a co-ordinated European response. Thousands of lorries move between the countries every day. The UK Cabinet Office is to meet on Monday to assess the impact on trade.In response to France's ban, Eurotunnel has said it will suspend access to its Folkestone terminal from 22:00 GMT for traffic heading to Calais. People booked to travel on Monday can get a refund. Trains will still run from Calais toFolkestone.Austria is also planning a ban on flights from the UK, with details currently being worked out, local media reported.Bulgaria has suspended flights to and from the UK from midnight but, unlike the short-term measures in many other nations, its ban lasts until 31 January.Turkey has temporarily banned all flights from the UK.A European Council meeting will be held at 10:00 GMT on Monday on co-ordinating EU actions.What is the new variant? In the UK, it was first identified in the middle of October from a sample taken in September.Health Secretary Matt Hancock on Sunday said the new strain "was out of control. We have got to get it under control", admitting that this was "an incredibly difficult end to frankly an awful year".The World Health Organization (WHO) says the same mutation has also been detected in the Netherlands, Denmark and Australia.Dr Catherine Smallwood, of WHO Europe, said that as of 20 December, the numbers in those countries were small, nine in Denmark and one each in the other two nations. But she said other countries had notified WHO of other variants "that also carry some of the genetic changes seen in the UK variant".The new UK variant has been shown to spread faster than the original virus - up to 70% more transmissible based on modelling figures - but scientific details on the genetic changes, and how they could affect the behaviour of Covid-19, remain unclear.Although there is no indication the variant will be more resistant to already-developed vaccines, the mutation does involve the spike protein of the virus.This is the part that helps it infect cells - and also the part the vaccines have been designed to target. So although scientific experts have warned against an alarmist response, they also say it is essential to track the variant and try to stay ahead of the virus.
Pioneering mRNA technology in Moderna, Pfizer vaccines developed at University of Pennsylvania-By Dann Cuellar-Saturday, December 19, 2020 9:01AM
PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- The pioneering work for the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, which was granted emergency use authorization by the FDA, and the Pfizer vaccine began at the University of Pennsylvania more than a decade ago."This is an exceptionally safe vaccine; it's a shockingly effective vaccine." said Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar.On Friday night, the Moderna vaccine was overwhelmingly recommended by an FDA advisory panel for Americans 18 and up."By golly, the finish line is in sight. So we just got to keep on running. American people, we need you to keep on running." said U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams.The FDA says approval of the Moderna vaccine follows a thorough evaluation of available safety, effectiveness and manufacturing quality information."We will likely see shots in the arm by the very early part of next week," Dr. Anthony Faucci of the Coronavirus Task Force said. "I would hope Monday or Tuesday."Penn researcher laid groundwork for Pfizer, Moderna vaccines-With the FDA's announcement, there is a big sense of pride for Dr. Drew Weissman, a professor of Infectious Diseases in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.His collaborative work with Dr. Katie Kariko, an adjunct associate professor at Penn and a senior vice president at BioNTech, beginning 15 years ago led to the development of these vaccines.Dr. Drew Weissman at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.Penn Medicine-According to Penn Medicine, "[They] discovered in the early 2000s that introducing certain chemical modifications into messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) molecules can greatly increase its therapeutic potential-a discovery that plays a critical role in two of the leading COVID-19 vaccine candidates that rely on the use modified mRNA being separately developed by Moderna and Pfizer / BioNTech.""My dream has always been to develop a drug, vaccine, treatment that helps people. This, I think, has accomplished that," said Dr. Weissman.Unlike most vaccines which are a modified virus or viral protein to elicit an immune response, the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines use messenger RNA, mRNA, to instruct the body to begin defending itself against COVID-19."What's different about mRNA is it's a genetic vaccine," Dr. Weissman told Action News Health Reporter and Registered Nurse Ali Gorman last month.Although Dr. Weissman says the differences between the two vaccines are very minor, we asked why the Pfizer vaccine requires storage in extreme cold temperatures and Moderna's does not."Moderna spent extra time developing and figuring out how to store it and how to prepare it so it could be stored at -20 instead of -80." said Dr. Weissman, who was also a fellow at Dr. Fauci's lab years ago.The Moderna vaccine is expected to be delivered to states by Monday.There are big hopes these two vaccines with others being developed could signal the beginning of the end of this historic pandemic.
The U.K. Lost 16,000 COVID Cases Because It Doesn't Understand Microsoft Excel-Someone over there slept through Accounting 101.BY COURTNEY LINDER-OCT 6, 2020
The United Kingdom mistakenly lost about 16,000 COVID-19 (coronavirus) test results, leading to inaccurate case figures in England.Officials with Public Health England, the agency tasked with tallying the positive cases, says the snafu stems from technical issue.Microsoft Excel limits files to just over one million rows, so any excess records are cut off—in this case, thousands of test results.Between September 25 and October 2, the United Kingdom inadvertently omitted nearly 16,000 COVID-19 records in an official database, leading to drastically inaccurate case numbers in England.The culprit, according to Public Health England (PHE)—a government body of the U.K.'s Department of Health and Social Care, which collates data from public and private labs—wasn't human, but rather ... Microsoft Excel."A technical issue was identified overnight on Friday 2 October in the data load process that transfers COVID-19 positive lab results into reporting dashboards," Michael Brodie, interim chief executive of PHE, said in a prepared statement on Sunday. "We fully understand the concern this may cause and further robust measures have been put in place as a result."Because Excel has a cutoff point of 1,048,576 rows and 16,384 columns per file, any excess records were not included in the official database. In this particular case, The Guardian reports, a lab sent in daily testing results in a CSV file—essentially a list of comma-separated values in a text file—and Excel cut off the 15,841 new records at the bottom, leading PHE to release incorrect figures for positive COVID-19 cases.How Deep Cleaners Kill the Coronavirus-Since then, the data has been corrected, with 12,782 new cases reported on Saturday, and 22,961 on Sunday, leading to some speculation about a potential second lockdown.This content is imported from {embed-name}. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site.The glitch is a significant failure for the U.K. government, as it has stymied progress in contact tracing, the process of alerting individuals that may have come into contact with those who have tested positive for COVID-19. Although PHE says it did notify people with a positive test result in a timely fashion, the agency didn't alert those who had been in close contact with the infected patients. Without effective contact tracing, it's harder to rein in the spread of the disease.Now, the government says it has put a "rapid mitigation" into place that splits large files up so this collation error doesn't occur again, as well as a "full end-to-end review of all systems ... to mitigate the risk" of a similar snafu.Oddly enough, this isn't the first time Excel has been in the hot seat with scientists. For years, geneticists have decried the software because it automatically updates certain symbols into dates.Earlier this year, the HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC), the standards organization for naming genes, based in Hinxton, England, actually had to rename genes. So for example, SEPT1—a gene found in human chromosome 16, which encodes a protein that may contribute to the neurofibrillary tangles associated with Alzheimer's—now becomes SEPTIN1. MARCH1, another protein encoding gene found in chromosome 4, is now MARCHF1.That's a quirky issue, but using Excel for tracking public health data in the midst of a pandemic is a whole different ballgame—one that shouldn't be played at all, some data experts say.This content is imported from Twitter. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site.In the UK the number of cases rose rapidly.But the public – and authorities – are only learning this now because these cases were only published now as a backlog.The reason was apparently that the database is managed in Excel and the number of columns had reached the maximum. pic.twitter.com/X4a8keSEHK— Max Roser (@MaxCRoser) October 5, 2020-Max Roser, a researcher at Oxford University and founder of the scientific publication Our World in Data, wrote in an October 5 tweet that he's "glad that they are apparently now working on a solution. Not one, but several Excel spreadsheets…" We're sensing some irony there.Next time around, the U.K. government may want to list its cases in rows, rather than columns, since there's a higher input limit. Or, the government can hire a technology company to build an enterprise platform specifically meant to collect massive volumes of test results from labs across the country. Entire firms specialize in just that—which is why your employer's payroll information isn't all sitting in a simple Excel sheet that could leak to the public.After all, how secure is a spreadsheet full of sensitive health data, anyway? Do better, England.
Cutting-edge scientific analysis reveals secrets of ancient Jewish Purim scroll-Romanian researchers use a battery of noninvasive techniques to gain insight on production of badly deteriorated manuscript containing opening chapters of Book of Esther-By STUART WINER-DEC 20,20-Today, 6:20 pM
Romanian researchers took some of the most modern analysis tools available and directed them into the past, scanning an old, deteriorated and fragile Jewish manuscript to learn how the handwritten document was produced, and discovering the concoction used for its ink.The noninvasive exploration of the “severely degraded Jewish manuscript of unknown history” was able to comprehensively identify the materials used to produce the parchment as well as vital information on its state of preservation.As part of their research the scientists developed a method for reconstructing lettering that they hope may be applied to other similarly faded manuscripts, aiding their preservation.Maria Cortea, Luminiţa Ghervase, Lucian Ratoiu and Roxana Rădvan of the National Institute for Research and Development for Optoelectronics – INOE 2000, Măgurele, Romania published the results of their work on the Frontiers peer-reviewed website on Thursday, complete with photographs.“A Jewish parchment scroll coming from a private collection was investigated using a multi-technique approach,” they wrote. “The parchment, significantly degraded, includes chapters from the Book of Esther also known in Hebrew as Megillat Esther.”The parchment, measuring 62×52 centimeters (24×20 inches), is in the form of a scroll, and contains the first three chapters of the Book of Esther and the start of chapter four.Regarding its history “not much is known, but the fact that the scroll was intended with a liturgical purpose,” they wrote, without dating the artifact.The delicate parchment was subjected to multi- and hyperspectral imaging, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy to uncover as much as possible of its construction.Infrared light revealed that two types of inks had been used: first iron gall ink and, later, carbon-based ink, which was applied to make corrections or later additions, “most probably due to degradation and fading of the initial inscriptions.”“In accordance with ancient Jewish parchment preparation techniques, the use of calcium sulfate, vegetable tannins, and oils was also inferred from the registered infrared spectra,” the researchers found.Further analysis of the ink, using a technique known as X-ray fluorescence, revealed that in addition to iron, the authors used sulfur, potassium, magnesium and zinc in the recipe to prepare the ink. It also shone a light on the method used to prepare the skin, revealing that “a bleaching process with cooked zinc white could have been applied.”“Vegetable tannins and oils could also be inferred from the registered infrared spectra, in accordance with ancient Jewish parchments preparation techniques,” the researchers wrote.The data gleaned from the research helps provide a historic context for the undated manuscript and also information that can be used for better restoration and a long-term conservation strategy “of this severely damaged object.”The team also developed a special algorithm that showed “promising results” in guiding them toward reconstructing the faded lettering.The method provides “a potential valuable tool for the investigations of parchment manuscripts whose text is hardy visible or partially lost due to extensive degradation,” the researchers wrote.The Book of Esther, which tells the story of Jewish deliverance during the Achaemenid Persian Empire in around the 5th century BCE, is traditionally read from a handwritten scroll as part of the Purim holiday. In 2021 the one-day holiday begins on February 25 in most places, and a day later in some locations, including Jerusalem.
