Why do some people seem to be naturally immune to covid-19? We may finally have the answer and it’s to do with differences in the way immune cells function. Will the finding help us predict who’s immune and who isn’t - and more?
Artificial intelligence is being used to tackle the problem of clearing mines from enormous swaths of Ukraine. Russia has scattered vast amounts of ordinance across Ukraine, tearing up agricultural land and leaving behind chemical contamination. The clean-up operation could take 700 years to complete in total. AI is helping Ukraine to work out where to start.
Chimpanzees are herbal medicine enthusiasts: when sick, they seem to seek out specific plants. But how effective are the plants they’re swallowing at actually dealing with illness? Wild chimps in Uganda’s Budongo Forest are helping researchers to understand the practice.
Maxwell’s demon, a thought experiment that involves a tiny imp, was once thought to disprove the second law of thermodynamics. Now researchers have built a real-life Maxwell’s demon that is not only the largest of its kind so far but could be used to discover new drugs and clean CO2 from the air.
Plus: Leeches can jump and we’ve finally seen them do it; why cashew nuts could help us decarbonise shipping; and do the methane seas of Saturn's moon Titan have waves that erode their shorelines?
Hosts Timothy Revell and Christie Taylor discuss with guests Alexandra Thompson, Matthew Sparkes, Sam Wong and Alex Wilkins.

Because we don't watch MSM

good start. even new scientist and a heap of other publications or non publications. Censorship is still extreme at many levels.

Statistically that is not true. More MAGA died or were sick of Covid than regular people. Glad you were not affected. Or maybe you were and just don’t want to tell anybody.

I’m a nurse worked on front line for fist 2 years. Tested by pcr 2 x week for 2 years straight. Never tested positive! Never felt sick got vaccinated when vaccines came out. Still never had positive test. I may have this 🧬

@AdrianBoyko Ай бұрын

Thanks for working the front line! I haven’t had it yet but, in my case, it might just be because I’m a hermit 😂

I’m not vaccinated and didn’t get Covid-19 despite living with someone who did test positive, and despite having to regularly escort my mum to hospital during the height of the so-called pandemic. I also had to visit her weekly at a local care home. In March-May 2020, my cousin worked closely with Covid patients at a small hospital and only tested positive a year later, shortly AFTER being vaccinated. Three years later and he now has cancer.

Considering in my little town the vaccination rate was over 90%, we never heard of one serious side effect from the vaccine. Overal seemed fine, very few had any issues with it, but this isn't a major conspiracy theory country which is probably why.

🤣🤣not vaccines for a start as you'll soon learn. Going through the Awakening, some still haven't. Hopefully they will soon, otherwise it's going to come as a dreadful shock. Crimes Against humanity. In years to come books will be written about this global evil act on humanity. Good book to read: The Great Covid Cover Up written by Dr Rand Paul, Senator in USA who has vehemently been speaking out , along with many many health experts around Globe. So many lessons to be learnt. Tune into Dr David E Martin, Researcher, he'll tell you everything you need to know.

Never got it and knew I never would - I'm immune to BS. When it 1st came out I travelled across the country: 2 planes and 3 airports across Canada. Then train from TO - Ottawa and montreal. Hostels in between and then return.

Hahahaa, these videos trying to data-mine peoples opinions on the plandemic are pretty funny tbh - by the somewhat universal sentiments in the comments it looks like their cover-up has backfired pretty bad.

@TheChipMcDonald Ай бұрын

It's amazing how many don't understand the term "asymptomatic". You can't claim to have never had an endemic infection that can be asymptomatic if you weren't tested. You most likely have but didn't realize it.
