Intermittence and flu vaccine

By Charles-Edouard!

The Thai health system offers the best quality/price ratio, it is well known. ARVs are not subsidized and are affordable for the average tourist. And the trip is fun! The problem is the cost of Biktarvy: 58 Eu./month (in France, it is at least 10 times that!), while NVP/TDF/F-3TC is 19 Eu. / month. There are many testimonies of use in 2/7... It leaves one dreaming! The (anti-)French social security system is a burden on the gross salary and favors relocations...

The flu shot? Not for me this year

Before, I had no objection... That was before I read, under the pen of the excellent Pr. Montagnier, that repeated vaccination does not bring anything, especially if one has already had a few natural influenzas. I am one of those people who listen to our best Nobel Prize winner. Do you have anything better to propose ? Well... So I listen... So, I made a bad quote: vaccine every 5-6 years, not more. On the other hand, I am very careful about the pneumococcus. Everyone around me is up to date.

2020: a useless vaccine!

I let myself be convinced by the usual TV shopping and I took the flu shot in 2020, so as not to be confused with the other lisp. As a result, I took the shot the only year the flu did not circulate

Vaccine and HIV: beware of CV rebound

Yes, yes... I know it's fashionable to participate in social networks by advising the vaccine to S+. All the more easy as for this blind medical advice, the selective censorship lets it happen... Of course...

You can look up the references on Pubmeb, there is a plethora of articles that note a (temporary) rise in CV just after the flu vaccination. The patient who is monitoring her CV during the ICCARRIAN descent phase can therefore consider doing her CV BEFORE getting vaccinated (eventually): there is no point in panicking. I even pushed the envelope a bit further by going to the hospital to have my blood sample taken (yuck...) and by handing my vaccine box to the doctor on duty, who made a face but did it, not for free, but for free!

It's not a big deal, but as soon as you mention the risk of blip, you get lynched!

Well... I did the vaccine and no CV, it's just as well, since we're going to go easy on the CVs, now that the 1/15 is well secured...

In France, flu vaccination is recommended for people over 6 months old belonging to a group at risk of complications (people over 65 years old, people with severe asthma or chronic lung diseases, people with severe immune deficiency). I have not seen a blind recommendation for S+ in general

The 2022 vaccine is kif-kif 2021??

According to Wikipedia, the effectiveness is usually assessed by calculations and simulations (whose results depend a lot on the chosen hypotheses ). Someone will have to explain to me the effectiveness of the 2021 vaccine, a period when Influenza has not circulated at all! In a context where people were cautious, it did not circulate: caution works! About the flu...

Weekly intake and 1/15

In fact, it's confirmed, my tank is gone (in the blood...) Before even asking the question of what made this possible, the question of what to do in 2022 arises.
I have never seen in the literature a trial showing the disappearance of the reservoir, i.e. with a before/after, including in the 'cure' trials (except perhaps, to be checked, the one in Brazil, recently). In other words, this is new... I'm exploring... Of course, this is great: here is what the biologist says

Obligation of treatment / Judiciarization

... The injectables are coming... That's it!

In the news

- Injectables are coming (finally!): the commercial match will soon be Vocabria(2 big shots every 2 months) vs Islatravir(in 1/7 'official' and more if affinity). The Tele- BichatAchat will have a great time!

- I am now on Telegram: see the link https://t.me/charles_edouard

- Another excellent article: Should we vaccinate against PCR detection or against Covid-19 disease? by Pierre Sonigo, Caroline Petit, Nathalie Jane Arhel

- No impact of HIV on the consequences of SARS-Cov2, according to this article, except, perhaps, when CD4 is low...

- Actions Traitements has a new information booklet: L'allègement thérapeutique dans le traitement du VIH. Go there if you want... My Practical Guideis online since... 2014!
