After a long year and a lot of anticipation, getting the COVID-19 vaccine can be cause for celebration, which for some might mean pouring a drink and toasting to their new immunity. But can alcohol interfere with your immune response?

The short answer is that it depends on how much you drink.

There is no evidence that having a drink or two can render any of the current COVID vaccines less effective. Some studies have even found that over the longer term, small or moderate amounts of alcohol might actually benefit the immune system by reducing inflammation.

Heavy alcohol consumption, on the other hand, particularly over the long term, can suppress the immune system and potentially interfere with your vaccine response, experts say. Since it can take weeks after a COVID shot for the body to generate protective levels of antibodies against the novel coronavirus, anything that interferes with the immune response would be cause for concern.

“If you are truly a moderate drinker, then there’s no risk of having a drink around the time of your vaccine,” said Ilhem Messaoudi, director of the Center for Virus Research at the University of California, Irvine, who has conducted research on the effects of alcohol on the immune response. “But be very cognizant of what moderate drinking really means. It’s dangerous to drink large amounts of alcohol because the effects on all biological systems, including the immune system, are pretty severe and they occur pretty quickly after you get out of that moderate zone.”

Moderate drinking is generally defined as no more than two drinks a day for men and a maximum of one drink a day for women, whereas heavy drinking is defined as four or more drinks on any day for men and three or more drinks for women. Keep in mind that one “standard” drink is considered five ounces of wine, 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits, or 12 ounces of beer.

Some of the first concerns about alcohol and COVID vaccination began circulating after a Russian health official who warned in December that people should avoid alcohol for two weeks before getting vaccinated and then abstain for another 42 days afterward. According to a Reuters report, the official claimed that alcohol could hamper the body’s ability to develop immunity against the novel coronavirus. Her warning sparked a fierce backlash in Russia, which has one of the world’s highest drinking rates.

In the United States, some experts say they have heard similar concerns about whether it is safe to drink around the time of vaccination. “We’ve been getting a lot of questions from our patients about this,” said Dr. Angela Hewlett, an associate professor of infectious diseases who directs the COVID infectious diseases team at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. “Understandably, people who are receiving these vaccines want to make sure they’re doing all the right things to maximize their immune response.”

Clinical trials of the COVID vaccines that are currently approved for use by the Food and Drug Administration did not specifically look at whether alcohol had any impact on the effectiveness of the vaccines, Hewlett said. It’s possible that there will be more information on that in the future. But for now, most of what is known comes from previous research, including studies that examined how alcohol affects the immune system in humans and whether it hinders the immune response in animals that received other vaccines.

One thing that is clear from studies is that heavy alcohol consumption impairs the immune response and increases your susceptibility to bacterial and viral infections. It prevents immune cells from traveling to sites of infection and carrying out their duties, like destroying viruses, bacteria and infected cells; makes it easier for pathogens to invade your cells, and causes a host of other problems.

In contrast, moderate drinking does not seem to have this effect. In one study, scientists exposed 391 people to five different respiratory viruses and found that moderate drinkers were less likely to develop colds, but not if they were smokers.

In another study, Messaoudi and colleagues provided rhesus monkeys access to alcoholic beverages for seven months and then looked at how their bodies responded to a vaccine against poxvirus. Much like humans, some rhesus monkeys enjoy alcohol and will drink a lot, while others show less interest and will limit themselves to small amounts. The researchers found that the animals that were chronically heavy drinkers had a weak response to the vaccine. “They had almost a nonexistent immune response,” Messaoudi said.

The animals that consumed only moderate amounts of alcohol, however, generated the strongest response to the vaccine, even compared to the teetotalers that consumed no alcohol at all. Studies in rats have found a similar pattern: Those consuming large amounts of alcohol have only a weak immune response to infections compared to animals given moderate amounts of alcohol or none at all. Other studies have found that when people drink moderately, it seems to lower inflammatory markers in their blood.

Another reason to moderate your alcohol intake is that heavy drinking — along with the hangover that can ensue — can potentially amplify any side effects you might have from the COVID vaccine, including fever, malaise or body aches, and make you feel worse, said Hewlett of the University of Nebraska Medical Center. Hewlett chose not to drink after getting the COVID vaccine. But she said that people should feel free to imbibe so long as they drink within reason.

“Having a glass of champagne probably won’t inhibit any immune response,” she said. “I think having a celebratory beverage in moderation is fine.”

Cyber Ninjas Are Also Part of Team Refuting Secretary of State Benson’s Letter Claiming ‘Operator Error’ in Election Results in Antrim County, Michigan

Share to Gab P Share

The Michigan case is still alive where the Secretary of State’s office claimed that it was human error in Antrim County that caused the error identified after the election that changed the winner of the county from President Trump to Biden.  This was identified in a recount after the election and President Trump was announced the winner in the county.

A lawsuit has been in place for some time led by attorney Mathew Deperno.  His team refuted this message from the Secretary of State’s office that claimed operator error rather than machine-related errors caused the voter discrepancy in the county.  The audit team Diperno put together includes Cyber Ninjas – the same firm running the election audit in Maricopa County right now.

We’ve reported that the Secretary of State in Michigan is connected to George Soros:

 

We also reported in December that the results of Deperno’s initial analysis of the voting machines in Antrim County included numerous material errors and issues:

BREAKING: Antrim Co. Forensic Report BOMBSHELL Reveals Dominion Machines Were Set At 68.05% Error Rate…Meaning 68.05% Of Ballots Could Be Sent Out For Mass Adjudication, Giving Individuals Or Machines Ability To Change 68.05% Of Votes

This morning, during an emergency hearing, MI 13th Circuit Court Judge Kevin A Elsenheimer granted permission to Attorney Matthew Deperno to release the findings from their forensic examination on 16 Dominion Voting machines in Antrim County, MI where thousands of votes flipped from President Trump to Joe Biden on November 3, 2020. Earlier this week, … Continue reading BREAKING: Antrim Co.

The fact that the machines sent such a material amount of ballots to adjudication is a very BIG issue.   We reported how this should be addressed before these machines are ever used in an American election again:

EXCLUSIVE: Voting Machine Systems Should Be Banned from US Elections Until the Highly Suspect “Adjudication Process” Is Defined and Corrected

Since the 2020 election the American public learned that voting machines and the systems surrounding the machines have the ability to send ballots to adjudication.  So what is ballot adjudication? According to Pursue Democracy. So when an excess number of ballots are sent to adjudication, ballots can then be altered.  So when do ballots go … Continue reading EXCLUSIVE: Voting Machine Systems Should Be Banned from US Elections Until the Highly Suspect “Adjudication Process” Is Defined and Corrected

 


Yesterday Mlive provided an update on Deperno’s Antrim County audit:

A Michigan judge on Monday said he’ll allow a dozen tech and election experts, including the Florida firm Cyber Ninjas and others who alleged election fraud following the November presidential election, to refute a secretary of state election report that determined mistakes in Michigan voting results were caused by human error and didn’t signal vulnerability or tampering with election machines.

Cyber Ninjas is the name of a Florida-based consulting firm owned by Doug Logan, who’s expressed support for election fraud “Stop the Steal” conspiracy theories on social media. The company was recently hired by the Republican-majority Arizona Legislature to conduct an audit of election results in Maricopa County. That audit began last week…

Antrim County Circuit Judge Kevin A. Elsenheimer said expert witness testimony or any reports they produce should address only claims made in a report published by Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson’s office that was produced by J. Alex Halderman, a computer security and systems specialist and professor at the University of Michigan.

Halderman’s March 26 report, entitled “Analysis of the Antrim County, Michigan November 2020 Election Incident,” outlined procedural and computer-related flaws he found while reviewing Antrim County election results.

Antrim County became a focal point for election challengers after the clerk there reported incorrect preliminary results that indicated now-President Joe Biden beat former President Donald Trump in the conservative-leaning county.

It looks like Deperno, Cyber Ninjas and others will be busy over the next month putting together a report refuting Secretary of State Benson’s report that the issue in Antrim County was related to operator error.

Andrew Brown Jr. search warrant: Drug deals captured on camera weeks before fatal police shooting Search warrant says informant allegedly purchased illegal drugs from Brown for over a year

Andrew Brown Jr. search warrant: Drug deals captured on camera weeks before fatal police shooting

Search warrant says informant allegedly purchased illegal drugs from Brown for over a year

Andrew Brown Jr. – a Black man fatally shot as sheriff's deputies executed a warrant in Elizabeth City, N.C., on April 21 – was described as a drug dealer in the Pasquotank County area and had a criminal rap sheet over 180 pages long and dating back to May 1988, according to a copy of the search warrant and other records obtained by Fox News.

Brown's family and their attorneys entered the Pasquotank County Sheriff's Office Monday afternoon to be privately shown the body camera footage of the shooting – following a two-hour delay that Pasquotank County Attorney R. Michael Cox said happened to blur faces and complete redactions to the video.

Six days after the shooting, authorities have provided few details about the circumstances of Brown's death, but Pasquotank County Sheriff Tommy Wooten II petitioned the court Monday for the public release of the body-camera footage even as the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation continues its independent probe into Brown's death.

An initial search warrant signed off by North Carolina Superior Court Senior Resident Judge Jerry R. Tillett on April 20 states that Agent R.D. Johnson of the Dare County Narcotics Task Force was in communication with a confidential source who said they had been purchasing narcotics from Brown for over one year. The informant claimed that they had purchased different quantities of cocaine, "crack" cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine from Brown on numerous occasions.

ANDREW BROWN JR. SHOOTING: ELIZABETH CITY, NC DECLARES STATE OF EMERGENCY AHEAD OF BODYCAM VIDEO RELEASE

Brown would sometimes travel to Dare County to deliver the narcotics, according to the informant. Other times the informant traveled into Elizabeth City to purchase narcotics from Brown at numerous hotel/motels and Brown's residence on Perry Street on at least three occasions.

On March 17, the Dare County Narcotics Task Force utilized the informant to conduct a "controlled purchase" of a quantity of cocaine from Brown that was recorded with audio/video devices. On March 29, the informant carried out another controlled purchase of meth from Brown captured on camera.

The warrant was requested by Pasquotank County Sheriff's Office Investigator D. Ryan Meads.

Meads and other agents assigned to the Albemarle Drug Task Force are also "familiar with Brown and know him to be a source of supply of 'crack' cocaine, cocaine, heroin/fentanyl and methamphetamine to the Elizabeth City/ Pasquotank County area," the warrant states.

7 NORTH CAROLINA DEPUTIES ON LEAVE FOLLOWING ANDREW BROWN JR. DEATH: REPORTS

Investigators believe the establishment at 421 Perry St. in Elizabeth City "is being used to store, package and distribute narcotics, namely 'crack' cocaine," the warrant states. Two vehicles regularly seen at the residence were believed to be in Brown’s possession and were being used by him to store, traffic and distribute illegal narcotics. There is reason to believe that the home was being used by Brown as a "secure location" to store drugs, currency and recordation of sales or monies owed, the warrant says.

The search warrant included photos of two vehicles seen parked outside: a green 2004 BMW 745 LI four-door sedan with a North Carolina license plate registered to Andrew Brown Jr., as well as a second BMW four-door sedan that was gray in color and has a fictitious license plate number.

The informant described Brown as a "drug dealer" in the Elizabeth City/Pasquotank County area and admitted to purchasing "crack" cocaine from Brown on multiple occasions. The individual also witnessed crack cocaine inside the residence within 14 days of the application of the search warrant.

Meads has over 1,000 hours of law enforcement training, to include drug enforcement, narcotics investigations and identification. As an employed law enforcement officer he has dealt with informants, conducted surveillance, arrested suspects, seized evidence and executed search warrants. He has successfully developed narcotics investigations and made felony and misdemeanor arrests for violations of the North Carolina Controlled Substance Act, according to the warrant.

The document, which indicated the search wasn't completed, didn't list anything found. Fox News also obtained a copy of Brown's separate criminal rap sheet that is more than 180 pages long and dates back to May 1988. Arrest warrants against Brown that were released last week charged him with possession with intent to sell and deliver three grams of each of the drugs.

The next time you need help.... DO NOT call police. YOU want them gone?? ...... Deal with it yourself

 

 

 

 

Deal with it yourself....You wanted cops gone..... oh well !!

(Boy it's a good thing they stepped down all becuse they wanted their privacy. They are in the public eye MORE NOW.)Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Feud with the Royal Family Could "Topple" the Monarchy.......

 

 

 

They aren't admired by real adults.... they are just little children throwing temper tantrums. Most are GLAD they are gone.

 

 

 

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Feud with the Royal Family Could "Topple" the Monarchy

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Feud with the Royal Family Could "Topple" the Monarchy
Kayleigh Roberts
  • According to royal expert and author Anna Pasternak, "The Sussexes have sparked something so fundamentally incendiary in this country that it is changing the face of Britain, and I think the monarchy as an archaic institution may well topple."

  • Pasternak also speculates that the changing views of the royal family could lead to Prince Charles being passed over in the line of succession in favor of his son, Prince William, who is seen by the public as "younger, more relatable."

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's ongoing issues with the rest of the royal family could have a huge impact on the future of the monarchy.

Speaking to Vanity Fair for its May cover story, royal expert Anna Pasternak, author of Princess in Love and The Real Wallis Simpson: A New History of the American Divorcee Who Became the Duchess of Windsor, predicted that Harry and Meghan's "feud" with the royals could lead to the end of the monarchy as we know it—at least once Queen Elizabeth II's reign is over, that is.

"I’m not 100 percent sure that we will see Charles ascend to the throne," Pasternak said. "The Sussexes have sparked something so fundamentally incendiary in this country that it is changing the face of Britain, and I think the monarchy as an archaic institution may well topple."

While she believes the monarchy will remain in place until the Queen dies, Pasternak predicts that the issues the Sussexes' have raised could result in a change to the current line of succession. "It may be that there is such a groundswell of public opinion against [Charles] that it’s deemed by the firm preferable for William to ascend then because he’s younger, more relatable," she explained.

As for the Sussexes' future with the monarchy, Pasternak said that "both sides are like wounded animals" and suggested that Meghan may never return to the United Kingdom after everything she's been through.

"I truly wonder if Meghan will ever set foot on British soil again," Pasternak said.

 

Don't let these jerks tell your kids they should be ashamed of their skin color or how their parents make money (doctors etc)

 

The schools want kids to feel bad about being white, Asian or brown and make black kids feel Superior over all. 

Don't let your child or Grandchildren ever apologize for their skin color. Make them KNOW that they are strong, kind and don't need violence to prove their point.

 

Do NOT let these kids get bullied by the school system. 

 

YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE WHAT they are teaching the kids.  Go do your own research.
