The Kirby Institute is a leading global research institute dedicated to the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases. We were established in 1986 in response to the then emerging HIV epidemic. We now contribute to knowledge on a broad range of diseases, including viral hepatitis and sexually transmissible infections.
Our primary work relates to the coordination of national surveillance programs, population health and epidemiological research, clinical and behavioural research and clinical trials. Our research projects are conducted in partnership with communities most affected by epidemics. Together we implement trials of behavioural and biomedical interventions designed to prevent the spread of infectious diseases in vulnerable populations.
SARS Cov2 has not been properly isolated and characterised Therefore there is no scientific proof of its existence. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-r9bG_lqXvDI.html
Very poor so-called analysis of the vaccines efficacy. Sad that western scientists are unable to free themselves from an imperialist mindset. The gamaleya and sinopharm vaccines are very effective. There've also been "letters questioning the efficacy" of Pfizer's data and AstraZeneca's data, not to mention the blood clots, but this was not mentioned in the presentation or used to cast doubt on these western vaccines. Pathetic really.
Thankyou for this very helpful and interesting information, now you just need the public and the government to take notice of it so that we can switch to a vaccination plan that might actually work. Unfortunately the great unwashed choose to be oblivious to the facts.
In the AZ trial against B.1.351 NO ONE got hospitalised or died from B.1.351 including those that didn't get the AZ vaccine. The participants where all to young (avg age 30). And a efficacy of 10.4% is highly suggestive to me that it offers virtually no protection against death or hospitalisation against B.1.351 especially for over 50's. So my question is, assuming this and everyone in Australia is vaccinated, under 50s with Pfizer and over 50s with AZ. Will the 60%? of the population under 50 be enough to give herd immunity protection to the over 50's from an outbreak of B.1.351. especially when all travel restrictions and quarantines are eliminated. Australia should be offering to sequence all of the Seychelles vaccinated people being hospitalized with Covid because all of them could have B.1.351 and have had the AZ shot. I've had my 1st AZ shot and will be getting my 2nd. But I'm worried I will be denied protection against B.1.351 forever because I'm "already vaccinated".
I was gonna watch this, but then he started saying some shite about paying his respects to the elders of such and such a land, and I'm here to find out about SARS-CoV-2, not participate in a séance half way across the globe.
Apparently Australians at the Kirby Institute do that but then someone independent of all that gives a talk. Well ... she started with acknowledgement to the elders too. Not the NIH Elders who help her to get grants though. This lecturer professor lady belongs to the Institute. How obsolete many of such lectures become so fast.
Sir, I have one question- In "Treatment as Prevention" For Hepatitis C, Do we start treatment in PWID without testing positive?? Before getting diagnosed??
You always hear of medical and research breakthroughs in HIV but it never translates into any further progress. It just seems there is always a research breakthrough for example they just found out how to bring out HIV out of hiding in the body - medicalxpress.com/news/2020-06-drug-candidate-reawakens-hiv-functional.html, or a man cured in Brazil with just medicine - www.express.co.uk/life-style/health/1306311/hiv-symptoms-treatment-cure-news. Ten years later you will be thinking whatever happened to this findings. No one follows up on it. Everyone (doctors and politicians alike) are out there to only make money. There will never be a cure.

Thank you, Rena and Tangerine clinic for the comprehensive and insightful presentation. agree that hormone use should be "demedicalised" as much as possible - with the right information, trans people can be able to take this on, they have already doing this for decades.

Just wonderful. I think I learned more in this hour than I have across the entire pandemic. Professor MacIntyre has a wonderful ability to explain complex material in easy to understand ways. The Harvard modelling is very depressing!
Fantastic, informative webinar. Understanding of COVID pandemic was so clear by comparing well known diseases such as Small pox and Measles as a guideline. I personally would like to know background concept of reason why Aboriginal and Torres Islander communities would impacted severely under the same control of government.
Your Case Fatality Rates are wrong, even your number s at Min25 suggest this. I think you need to take a long hard look in the mirror and and ask yourself who are you pandering to, you contradict yourself, why others cannot see it baffles me, must be an echo chamber around here.
We can move R0 down without lockdown, unlike you say, and then move towards herd immunity because as R0 comes down so does the Herd immunity level. So stop avocating for increased lockdown. This behaviour you advocate is causing finiancial crisis and the epidemic is now other problems. Most of your info is correct just alittle is wrong. Some of your data is very wrong. You should do better research. You seem to just be repeating other people info.
Dear Professor MacIntyre, could you please advise us on our #masks4allAustralia initiative? We are hoping to apply the Czech system in Australia. facebook.com/groups/1280260425501080/permalink/1296257163901406/ facebook.com/groups/1280260425501080/permalink/1304158239777965/
Excellent information Raina, thank you. I am 71 with asthma and COPD; this is exactly the the kind of information I need to be across to keep myself safe (well relatively!).
a great overview of the situation to date. Of course data can easily raise as many questions as it answers, that's a good thing in my opinion, as it indicates we have the desire to peer review and seek the best possible outcome hopefully for the planet and human race, present and future.
Can you comment on this please Raina - seems interesting. Temperature may be involved, humidity as well since its so dry at altitude. But there appears to be something here. www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/21/boy-with-covid-19-did-not-transmit-disease-to-more-than-170-contacts
Thank you, very informative video, excellent to see examples of other (non-COVID19) diseases (and perhaps more familiar) to explain the concepts of pandemic spread and control measures.
Thank you for this. Very interesting to see the elimination graph for herd immunity. Referring to the graph at 5:35, can we really say there is an inverse correlation between number of ICU beds and CFR? The relationship seems quite weak (the R^2 for a linear correlation only seems to be 0.09).
it wasn't the best graphic of the representation, but an interesting correlation, data now coming out that icu treatment procedures implemented are skewing this data as well.
