Fake Took Enamel Better than Real

Parker Davis February 7, 2022

It turns out that a tooth enamel that is created using biomimetic materials has greater protection than the natural tooth enamel the new material has been designed to replace. The material is being developed by Hewei Zhao and colleagues according to the press release.

New Synthetic Tooth Enamel Is Harder and Stronger Than the Real Thing

Excerpt:

Tooth enamel’s unusual combination of properties is a product of its hierarchical architecture – a complex structure made up of mostly hydroxyapatite nanowires interconnected by an amorphous intergranular phase (AIP) consisting of magnesium-substituted amorphous calcium phosphate. However, accurately replicating this type of hierarchical organization in a scalable abiotic composite has remained a challenge.

Here, Hewei Zhao and colleagues present an engineered enamel that contains the essential hierarchical structure at multiple scales. The artificial tooth enamel (ATE) was produced using AIP-coated hydroxyapatite nanowires, which were aligned using dual-directional freezing in the presence of polyvinyl alcohol. According to the authors, this allowed the engineered structures to have an atomic, nanoscale, and microscale organization like natural enamel.

In a series of tests, Zhao et al. demonstrated that the ATE nanocomposite simultaneously exhibited high stiffness, hardness, strength, viscoelasticity, and toughness, exceeding both the properties of enamel and previously manufactured materials.

Canada Takes Man’s Kids for Not Vaccinating Them

Parker Davis February 7, 2022

In Canada, if you haven’t been vaccinated you might just lose your kids. A Canadian Judge has taken away custody from a father for not vaccinating his kids. The judge, Nathalie Goodbout, awarded the mother full custody to assure the children get vaccinated.

Unvaccinated father in Canada loses custody of three children

Excerpt:

An unvaccinated Canadian man has lost custody of his three children after a judge ruled he posed a risk to his immunocompromised 10-year-old daughter.

The father, identified only as Mr F. in court documents, had in-person access to his children suspended by a judge in the province of New Brunswick last week. She also ruled that the children’s mother could have them vaccinated against Covid-19 despite his objections, The Canadian Press reported.

Justice Nathalie Godbout said in her written decision that she was revoking the father’s access “with a heavy heart” but that the children “must be given their best possible chance at evading infection from Covid-19”.

Trudeau Gets the Cough and Blames Medical Freedom Activists

Ivo Fysic February 1, 2022

It looks like the safety lord of Canada, the czar of Covid-free, Justin Trudeau, has got himself a case, if you know what I mean, and now the cough cough PM is taking to the airwaves to blame Medical Freedom Activists for the fact that all his vaccine and boost bullets did nothing to stop him from getting sick.
Somehow, Canada’s truckers designed a super COVID that conquered the vaccine and boost walls of defense and struck the son of the former Prime Minister with their antivax venom, or so prince of cringe would have you believe.

Omicron Might be the Real Coronavirus Vaccine

Parker Davis January 26, 2022

Early studies suggest that people who are infected with the Omicron virus might develop a super immunity to the Coronavirus as a whole, making it significantly more effective than current vaccine and booster options offer.

Early evidence suggests Omicron infection could give people ‘superimmunity’ against future coronavirus variants, but experts warn COVID-19 is still unpredictable

From businessinsider.com

Excerpt:

The combination of vaccination and immunity from natural infection produces strong protection, data suggest.

Most data we have is from the time when Delta was dominant, but emerging evidence suggests the same could be true for Omicron.

Exposure to Omicron and other variants may diversify the immune response to any strain of the virus.

Seeing In Infrared for the Blind Now Real

Thanks to a new breakthrough from a team working out of Technical University of Munich, the blind might now see, at least in infrared.

New Device Lets People Who Are Blind “See” in Infrared

Excerpt:

Watch out, Matt Murdock — there may be a new Daredevil in Hell’s Kitchen soon enough! While Murdock’s superhero character relies on super hearing, taste and electrical impulses to see because he is blind, IRL folks with low vision may soon have access to a new pair of goggles that uses infrared technology to assist in navigating the world around them.

Manuel Zahn and Armaghan Ahmad Khan at the Technical University of Munich in Germany published yet-to-be peer-reviewed new research on their 3D camera and haptic feedback armband.

“Even in the present era, visually impaired people face a constant challenge of navigation,” the pair wrote in their study. “The most common tool available to them is the cane. Although the cane allows good detection of objects in the user’s immediate vicinity, it lacks the ability to detect obstacles further away.”

Zahn’s design uses a pair of infrared cameras inserted in 3D-printed prototype goggles to capture a stereoscopic image that a small computer uses to create a map of the surrounding area. Because it uses infrared, the goggles work even in the dark. The setup’s armband uses 25 actuators in a grid that vibrate to help users understand how close objects are, as well as how they’re oriented. If a user walks towards an obstacle, the vibration intensity of the respective actuators gradually increases.

Excerpt:

Just over a week after the U.S. Supreme Court blocked the COVID-19 vaccine mandate for large businesses, a federal judge in Texas blocked the Biden administration’s vaccine mandate for federal employees Friday.

Judge Jeffrey Vincent Brown for the U.S. District Court of the Southern District of Texas issued a preliminary injunction halting the executive order issued in September requiring that most federal employees and contractors get vaccinated against COVID-19.

Brown, a Trump appointee, argued that President Joe Biden doesn’t have the authority to require federal workers to get vaccinated. Although the judge agreed that Biden does have the authority over federal employment policies, those authorities do not permit him to…

Fauci Family Makes Millions As Long as Pandemic Continues

Paul Collier January 19, 2022

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the father and Lord of Science itself, has been leading the charge in justifying jab mandates, mask mandates, lockdowns, and shutdowns. Americans have been crippled financially, and our small businesses have been going out of business, replaced by the corporate businesses that could remain open while small businesses remained shut down.

Dr. Fauci owns this misery, this loss of wealth by the Americans below the multimillionaire line these patrician moral supremacists operate over. Fauci, for instance, while he shuts down our means of making of living, is getting $1.7 million in his bank account thanks to the salaries he and his wife and co-conspirator rake in from our government while this pandemic goes on.

Fauci’s family is seettling in at $10.7 million in worth, and those numbers are only going to grow as long as we remain shut out of our means of making a living thanks to the Lord of Science’s unelected edicts from on high, from a mountain that’s raining Benjamins for the Faucis day by day, week by week, year by year.

Talk about a conflict of interest, give a man a job that pays him millions to run a pandemic and see how ready he is to actually move to end it.

While Shuttering Your Family Business, Fauci Made $1.7M On His Lies

While Americans who were forced to stay at home by tyrannical politicians and health bureaucrats struggled to make ends meet during the pandemic, Dr. Anthony Fauci’s household raked in $1,776,479.

According to Fauci’s financial disclosures obtained by Open The Books, the federal government paid Fauci and his wife Christine Grady, who also works at the National Institutes of Health, $868,812 in combined income and benefits in 2020. In addition to their federal salaries, the Fauci household also received royalties and stipends totaling at least $113,298 while their investment accounts increased by $794,369.

These financial increases pushed the Fauci household’s net worth beyond $10.4 million. Previously released financial disclosures from 2019 had already indicated the federal government paid Fauci $417,608 making him the highest-paid federal employee that year.

In a Senate Health Committee hearing last week, Sen. Roger Marshall asked if the…

So far, Spotify seems to be giving the request to censor all the attention it deserves. Which is to say they appear to be blowing it off. So good on them for standing up for free speech.

But some took a closer look at the media claim about “270 doctors” and went out and found that claim itself was some classic “misinformation.”

Most of the 270 signatories are not medical doctors, so…

Excerpt:

As superbugs become increasingly dangerous to human health, NC State researchers have developed a soft material that preserves medicines capable of treating infections without the risk of antimicrobial resistance.

With his colleague Christopher Gorman in the Department of Chemistry and students Ryan Smith and Juliana O’Brien, Stefano Menegatti, a University Faculty Scholar and an associate professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering, developed new dendrimers — highly structured macromolecules — that act as a glue around nanoparticle templates. Such templates include bacteriophages, which are viruses that can infect and attack harmful bacteria in the body. While they can be an alternative to traditional antibiotics, they can be difficult to formulate and stabilize as a medicine. To remain safe and effective, therapeutic bacteriophages need to be protected from environmental changes.

Georgia Sewers Yield Killer Bacteria with Dreaded Anti-bacteria Gene

Parker Davis January 13, 2022

Researchers in the University of Georgia have discovered the existence of a gene that could create widespread antimicrobial resistance, which would put humanity existentially at risk.

The gene has long been feared to exist, and now that they’ve discovered it occuring in nature, the concern has moved very much out of the theoretical and into the real.

The risk is considered in the top 10 of potential risks to human existance.

Gene discovered in Georgia water a possible global threat

From phys.org

Excerpt:

A gene that causes bacteria to be resistant to one of the world’s most important antibiotics, colistin, has been detected in sewer water in Georgia. The presence of the MCR-9 gene is a major concern for public health because it causes antimicrobial resistance, a problem that the World Health Organization has declared “one of the top 10 global public health threats facing humanity.”

Researchers from the University of Georgia’s Center for Food Safety (CFS) collected sewage water from an urban setting in Georgia to test for the MCR gene in naturally present bacteria. Led by College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences assistant professor Issmat Kassem, whose research focuses on MCR’s presence around the world, the team was surprised at how quickly they detected MCR—they found evidence of the gene in the first sample they took.

Kassem said that demonstrates that the gene is becoming established in the U.S.

The bacteria where the gene was found, Morganella morganii, added further concern for Kassem. This marked the first time that MCR was found in M. morganii, which is problematic because it is a bacteria not often tested by researchers. This means that the problem could be considerably more widespread than initially thought.
