By 687 0

The Robert Koh Institute has reported that 10,027 people in Germany have been infected with Covid despite taking two doses of the Covid vaccine. According to the German Government’s Institute for Infectious Disease Prevention Research, 7,802 people have been vaccinated against the Pfizer vaccine. Covid also affected those who received two doses of the other Covid vaccine, Johnson & Johnson – 1385, AstraZeneca – 682, and Modena – 396.

The Robert Koh Institute says that despite taking two doses of the vaccine in Germany, most of those infected with Covid are not worried about receiving the Pfizer vaccine. This is just a natural proportion of the 78% of the 100 million vaccine doses distributed in Germany up to the 8th of this month being the Pfizer vaccine.

The figures are published by the Robert Koh Institute from February this year. Covid affected 15.84 lakh people in the country during this period. Of these, only 0.68% were confirmed by Covid despite receiving two doses of the Covid vaccine. Most of these are delta variants.

As of August 10, 55.6 percent of the German population had received two doses of the Covid vaccine. Those who took at least one dose were 62.7%.

By 605 0

Facebook, the parent company of Instagram, has lifted a prohibition on a poster for Spanish director Pedro Almodovar’s latest film, which depicts a nipple producing a drop of milk.

The platform “should be ashamed” for its “censorship,” according to Javier Jaen, who designed the Madres Paralelas (Parallel Mothers) commercial. The social media business has since apologised for the poster’s removal. Because of the “clear artistic context,” Facebook issued an exemption to its customary rule on nudity.

Penelope Cruz plays one of two women whose paths intersect at a hospital as they prepare to give birth in the film, which will premiere at the Venice Film Festival on September 1st.

Shanne Braspennincx Wins Keirin Gold Six Years After Suffering a Heart Attack in Tokyo 2020

By 662 0

Shanne Braspennincx, a Dutch keirin rider, earned Olympic gold six years after suffering a heart attack and not knowing if she would ever participate again. Braspennincx, 30, finished ahead of Ellesse Andrews of New Zealand and Lauriane Genest of Canada.

After watching teammate Laurine van Riessen taken to the hospital after colliding with Team GB hopeful Katy Marchant, she regained her composure. Braspennincx’s career was in jeopardy five years ago when she missed the Rio Olympics.

She thought her career was ended when she became unwell in Colorado in 2015, requiring surgery to widen a blocked artery and the placement of a stent. “I assumed I’d have to retire,” Braspennincx said. “A heart attack isn’t something you experience when you’re an athlete.”

Russian LGBT Family Flees to Spain After Threats

By 667 0

After receiving online hatred and death threats, a Russian lesbian family who appeared in a contentious health food ad has left the country. Yuma, the mother, wrote on Instagram that “we’re safe, we’re relaxing.”

After starring in an ad for grocery chain VkusVill, the family became the victim of a hate campaign. Later, the company issued an apology and replaced the photo with one of a heterosexual family. A law passed in Russia in 2013 prohibits the promotion of LGBT beliefs and lifestyles to children, which has been extensively denounced in the West.

Many followers of President Vladimir Putin and the Russian Orthodox Church associate LGBT+ activists with Western liberal principles, which are considered incompatible with Russian culture.

Italy to Require Covid Health Pass for Indoor Venues

By 715 0

A Covid-19 health pass will be needed from August 6th onwards to visit a number of Italian venues including bars and restaurants.

A health pass known to be a green pass in Italy will be mandatory to access swimming pools, gyms, concerts, sports events, and cultural venues including museums, cinemas, and theatres. However, the government stated that nights clubs will remain closed. The health pass will indicate that the holder has either got the first jab of vaccine, has recovered from the disease, or tested negative in the previous 48 hours.

The “health card is an instrument to allow Italians to continue their activities with the guarantee of avoiding being among contagious persons,” Prime Minister Mario Draghi stated Thursday evening following the cabinet meeting that approved the move. “The green pass is not an arbitrary thing,” he added, “it is a condition to keep economic activity open.”
