1. 打疫苗後重新感染只有0.008%,而且這當中只有7%住院The so called “ breakthrough” is 5800 of reinfected cases out of 66 million fully vaccinated (got 2 doses of vaccines) Americans  -(0.008percent of happening ). And only 1 death. (1 out of 66 million)  Cdc official data  https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/health-departments/breakthrough-cases.html A separate  Wall Street Journal  report  points out that the 5,800 CDC-reported cases represent just 0.008 percent of the group of 66 million fully vaccinated Americans. Data on this issue, often referred to as “ breakthrough cases ,” is slightly delayed. At the time of this writing, the CDC was reporting that roughly 77 million people had been fully vaccinated in the U.S. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/cdc-reports-extremely-small-number-171705438.html?soc_src=social-sh&soc_trk=fb&tsrc=fb 2.

2021.4.24  美國CDC建議恢復施打嬌生疫苗 加註警語 1.經過六小時的線上會議，美國CDC專家小組ACIP以10比4票，1票棄權，通過應該恢復嬌生疫苗施打。建議加註可能產生稀有但嚴重血栓的警語，提醒50歲以下女性接種時要留意此風險。 2.上週施打680萬劑後有6例CVST併血小板低下，目前累積到21日之前798萬劑後有15例TTS（血栓併血小板低下症候群）。且還有一些案例正在確認中。其中有3例死亡，7例住院中（4例在ICU），5例已經康復出院。 3.這15例TTS都是女性，年齡中位數是37歲，有13例是50歲以下。在50歲以下女性的發生率是百萬分之7，30~39歲佔了8例最多，百萬分之11.8。50歲以上則是百萬分之0.9。 4.其他的可能風險因子包括7例肥胖，2例口服避孕藥，2例高血壓，2例甲狀腺功能低下。 5.症狀多發生在注射疫苗6~15天後（平均8天），有12例有CVST。此12例中最常見到的症狀是頭痛，發燒發冷，噁心嘔吐，疲勞，肚子痛。之後會進展到嚴重頭痛可能合併脖子痛或僵硬，出現一些神經學症狀包括單邊肢體無力，講話不順暢，癲癇甚至意識出問題等。 6.這15例中有10例血小板掉到5萬以下，11例有測到PF4抗體（4例沒有做）。 CDC和FDA隨後發布新聞稿表示： 1.應該恢復施打嬌生疫苗。有信心此疫苗是安全且可有效的預防新冠感染。 2.現有資料顯示接種疫苗的好處大於出現罕見且嚴重血栓的風險。TTS發生機率極低，但會繼續追蹤並找出其風險因子。 3.醫療提供者還有被施打疫苗者都應該瞭解這罕見的副作用。 FDA and CDC Lift Recommended Pause on Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) COVID-19 Vaccine Use Following Thorough Safety Review 整場會議影片 投影片在此 U.S. should resume J&J vaccinations with warning notice, CDC advisory group says Johnson & Johnson vaccine can be distributed with warning, advisers to CDC say

4/21 CH上的Yebin 博士整理到目前為止美國疫苗注射的數據  “3百萬——美國日接種數穩定在300萬以上 80%——全美65歲以上的老人中，80%至少接種了一針 50%——18歲以上成年人中超過一半至少接種了一針 40%——所有人口中40%至少接受了一針疫苗 26.3%——超過四分之一的人完成了全部接種（兩針mRNA疫苗或一針強生疫苗） 16歲——全美16歲以上的人都可以申請接種疫苗，即接種已全面開放 在2億劑疫苗中，輝瑞/BioNTech與Moderna兩個mRNA疫苗佔據了絕對多數。強生的腺病毒疫苗只佔了不到5%——不過由於是一針解決問題，強生在上周暫停前仍然幫超過7百萬人完成了接種。” https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/-lAATmMciIjJm4yUCtvziQ

Holy post skye jethani on the sermon centric church model  https://bit.ly/3eliJSO 17 mins: start discussing why the latest pew research poll shows a large decline in church attendance  Most church life is only giving and receiving information  Going to church has been about listening to a sermon  The church has been primarily Information- focused for the last 500 years  That’s not the primary reason people want to be at church. They want and need the community life  There is nothing in the Bible that says the centerpiece of the Bible is to listen to a pastor’s sermon for 30-45 minutes  Church can’t be just sermon centric service  https://youtu.be/MZJ5vsuxmm0

The Swedish COVID-19 strategy revisited Mariam Claeson Stefan Hanson   Published: April 19, 2021 DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(21)00885-0 PlumX Metrics In December, 2020, we wrote about the Swedish response to the COVID-19 pandemic. 1  Our hope was that our Comment, together with hundreds of other fact-based articles, would gain the attention of the Swedish Public Health Agency ( Folkhälsomyndigheten  [FHM]), that they would revisit and change the national strategy that they had designed so that it would be more aligned with global best practice, and that the political decision makers would act on it. They did not. Since then, the  FHM  has recorded more than 5600 deaths from COVID-19 in Sweden, and cases and deaths continue to rise as we face the third wave without any widespread sense of gravity or urgency. The  debate  among critics of the Swedish national approach to the pandemic has been consistent since March, 2020: be strategic, test a...

  Beware Christian Marxism  Russell Moore  ------ Russell Moore: In the early part of the twentieth century, the so-called “social gospel” movement emerged from within modernist sectors of American Protestantism. This movement downgraded—or even denied altogether—the need for personal conversion and re-defined the kingdom of God as a renovated society brought about by activism. Such notions were rightly rejected by small “o” orthodox Christians, including those who agreed with the “social gospel” advocates on the issues (child labor laws or even Prohibition). But, soon, the term “social gospel” was applied to those orthodox, evangelical Christians who believed in the new birth and a supernatural kingdom of God but also who—on the basis of Scripture itself—wanted laws against the lynching of African-Americans or the exploitation of children. In that case, no distinction was made between a “social gospel” in the actual meaning of the words and those who—as the biblical can...
