Antibodies from COVID-19 vaccine last in the body

Antibodies from COVID-19 vaccine last in the body forever
FACT CHECK: FAKEA study published in the journal Immunity found that people who recover from even mild cases of COVID-19, produce antibodies for at least 5 to 7 months and could last much longer, but not for a lifetime. None of the studies conducted in COVID-19 patients, with or without vaccination, indicate any lifetime warranty of protection.Therefore, until further studies clarify this, as of now, immunity is all vaccinated individuals would last from six months to maximum a year. It is therefore still the need of the hour to maintain physical distancing, restricting outdoor activities to essentials and keeping up with COVID-appropriate behavior of wearing masks and sanitizing whenever around people.Find the entire read on our website.

Dental health can affect pregnancy outcomes FACT

Dental health can affect pregnancy outcomes
FACT CHECK: TRUEStudies show mothers are known to face tooth decay and gingival problems during pregnancy. According to the CDC, 60-75% pregnant women have gingivitis, an early stage of periodontal disease that occurs when the gums become red and swollen from inflammation that may be aggravated by changing hormones during pregnancy. If not treated timely, gingivitis can cause teeth loss after the gums become infected because teeth with less of bone support can become loose and may eventually have to be extracted.Therefore, it is important to maintain dental hygiene during pregnancy and for women who already have any dental issues, interventions during the preconception period may be more meaningful.Read more about the poor outcomes due to periodontitis on our website.

If there is a third wave of COVID-19, it will impact children severely
FACT CHECK: FAKEPutting the rumors to rest and letting parents breathe a sigh of relief, the IAP which is the topmost representative association of pediatricians in India, stated that children are as susceptible as adults and older individuals to develop infection but not severe disease. It is highly unlikely that the third wave will predominantly or exclusively affect children. And even if it does, almost 90% of infections in children are mild/asymptomatic. Therefore, the incidence of severe disease is not high in children.Please find the entire read on our website.

The WHO and UNICEF advise that children aged 5 years and under should not be required to wear masks. This is based on the safety and overall interest of the child and the capacity to appropriately use a mask with minimal assistance.
However, in our opinion, wearing a mask should be based on the local requirements, environment, interactions, or specific needs in some settings, such as being physically close to someone who is ill.UIN: 321HP175R#wearamask #mythbuster #fqctcheckers #factsvsreality #factsvsmyths #who #unicef #vaccineforchildren #maskforchildren

As on 28th June 2021, there are about 48 cases detected spread over 10 states in India and majorly over the three states of Maharashtra, Kerala, and Madhya Pradesh wherein the delta plus variant of the coronavirus has been detected, following which, states have been advised for strengthening surveillance and appropriate public health measures.Meanwhile, the experts have raised concerns about whether current vaccines will be effective against Delta Plus. The government has informed two vaccines being used in India, Serum Institute of India's (SII) Covishield and Bharat Biotech's Covaxin, are effective against the Delta variant; however, their efficacy on the Delta Plus variant has not been tested or documented so far.UIN: 327HP177R#deltaplus #deltaplusvariant #variantofconcern #variant #covid #covidvacccine #vaccineinfo #vaccinereality

The Union Health Ministry has confirmed that the final product of Covaxin vaccines does not contain new-born calf serum. Explaining the use of calf serum in vaccine culture, the Union Health Ministry has issued a statement confirming that new-born calf serum is used only for the preparation/growth of Vero cells, which are further utilized to establish cell lives which help in the production of vaccines. And this is not anything new – different types of bovine and other animal serum are standard enrichment ingredient used globally for Vero cell growth and has been used for decades in Polio, Rabies, and Influenza vaccines.
Vero cells then are given a chemical wash to make them free of any animal serum and then infected with the Coronavirus for viral growth. In this process, Vero cells are completely destroyed and thereafter, the cultivated virus is also inactivated and purified. This killed virus is then used to make the final vaccine, and therefore, post the chemical wash and freeing of any animal serum, the final vaccine formulation does not contain any animal or new-born calf serum.#calfserum #calfserumincovaxin #mythvsreality #mythbusters #factcheck #factcheckers #mythvsreality #covaxinmyths #covaxine #covaxin

<10% vaccinated individuals need hospitalization for COVID according to ICMR reportFact Check: True
Good news for people who are vaccinated and encouragement for people who were a little skeptical about the vaccine shots. The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has released a report stating only 9.9% individuals needed hospitalization after COVID-19
infection.This study further strengthens the fact that vaccines protect against severe illness. The study is yet to be peer-reviewed, but the fact that the number of hospitalizations was low and only one death was reported out of the 27 hospitalized individuals, does lend credibility to the efficacy of vaccines to protect against severe infection of the deadly coronavirus.Find the entire read on our website.

Why some COVID-19 patients can develop life-threat

Why some COVID-19 patients can develop life-threatening clots?A recent study reports scientists in Ireland have identified how and why some COVID-19 patients can develop life-threatening clots, which could lead on to targeted therapies that prevent this from happening.Published in the Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis, the study was led by researchers at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) University of Medicine and Health Sciences. They found that the balance between a molecule that causes clotting, called von Willebrand Factor (VWF), and its regulator, called ADAMTS13, is severely disrupted in patients with severe Covid-19.Find the entire read on our website, link in bio!#mythbusters #myths #healthpatrol #askyourdoubts #truenews #realnews #news #healthnews #fakenews #realitycheck #whatsnew #trending #potd #mythvsreality #mythsvsfacts #fakevsreal #healthmyths #newscheckers #knowthetruth #knowthefacts #misinformation #factcheck #factcheckers #truthisoutthere #don'tbelieveeverythingyousee

Some drugs can be repurposed to inhibit COVID 19 virus
FACT CHECK: REALDrug repurposing (DR) (also known as drug repositioning) is a process of identifying new therapeutic use(s) for old/existing/available drugs.In the same league of repurposing drugs, a research study published in the British Journal of Pharmacology has demonstrated that antifungal and antidepressant drugs might effectively inhibit the SARS-CoV-2 virus in laboratory cells. Investigators found that the antifungal itraconazole and the antidepressant fluoxetine each blocked the production of infectious SARS-CoV-2 virus in cell culture lab tests.Find the entire read on our website.

3D-printed coated masks launched for COVID-19 protection
FACT CHECK: TRUEIn March this year, there were news updates around 3D printed masks in Canada and how effective they are in the current pandemic. On similar lines, the Government of India on 14th June 2021 announced the launch of 3D-printed masks coated with anti-viral agents which claim to be more effective than the N-95. This new mask works on combining 3D printing with medicated coating to have a virucidal, i.e., virus killing property that the masks will now have. This is developed by Thincr Technologies, a Pune-based start-up, which claims that it can neutralize novel coronavirus as it encounters it. The masks are coated with anti-viral agents called virucides that attacks viral particles on interception.
According to the Press Release by Government of India, these virucidal masks are among the earliest projects to have been selected for commercialization, by Technology Development Board (TDB), a statutory body of the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India, as part of the Government’s fight against COVID-19.Find the entire read on our website, link in bio!UIN: 312HP170R#mythbusters #myths #healthpatrol #askyourdoubts #truenews #realnews #news #healthnews #fakenews #realitycheck #whatsnew #trending #potd #mythvsreality #mythsvsfacts #fakevsreal #healthmyths #newscheckers #knowthetruth #knowthefacts #misinformation #factcheck #factcheckers #truthisoutthere #don'tbelieveeverythingyousee
