North Carolina man who needs kidney transplant wont get it because he refuses to get COVID vaccine – Daily Mail

An unvaccinated North Carolina man who needs a life-saving kidney transplant - and has been offered an organ by 100 people - has been denied the surgery by doctors because he refuses to get a COVID-19 vaccine. Chad Carswell, 38, strongly believes that getting the vaccine should be a choice and doesn't think it's very effective in preventing infection.   'I've had COVD twice so I've developed natural antibodies,' the Air Force veteran told DailyMail.com on Sunday when asked about his reasons for refusing the shot. 'A lot of scientists say I'm more safe from my natural antibodies. It's more to do with the fact that they're trying to force you to do something,' he said. Carswell has had six heart attacks and is a double amputee. His kidney is operating at four percent capacity and he undergo...

Data From Over 350,000 People Have Really Bad News About Moderate Drinking – ScienceAlert

We all know that drinking too much is bad for us. But what about just a few glasses a week? Red wine has antioxidants, we've been told, so a few glasses are apparently 'good for you'. Other studies have suggested that low-to-moderate drinkers are less likely to have a heart attack than those who avoid drinking altogether. Wine is even included (in moderation) in the Mediterranean diet, one of the healthiest food plans on the planet!    But a new study based on a huge data set from the United Kingdom now suggests that the J- or U- shaped curve of drinking is based on bad science; even having less than the currently recommended number of drinks per week in the UK is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular issues. "The so-called J-shaped curve of the cardiovascular disease-a...
