Psychiatrists and psychologists have higher incidence of mental illness in themselves!

Psychiatrists and psychologists treat mental issues of their patients. But what about their own mental illnesses?  Psychiatrists and psychologists are more ill mentally  Doctors   are in great stress during their training as well as career period. The workload, busy and fast life schedules, and higher expectations and competitiveness and the nature of the job itself leads to a sense of exhaustion, both physical and mental. There is a heavy burnout. Moreover, time for socialization is almost nil.  Hence, doctors are in grave risk of suffering from mental health illnesses. And in this, psychiatrists and psychologists have a higher risk and incidence of mental health issues.  It is a sad truth that psychiatrists and psychologists are more ill mentally than general public or other doctors. This has been known but not accepted and recognised sufficiently.  Also, read: Narcissist mothers are non-loving and jealous of their daughters  Studies have revealed that psychiatrists and psychologists

"Money, Money"-WHO showing a bias towards covid-19 vaccines completing ignoring role of natural immunity in infection protection!!!

 WHO and it's biased role

Increasingly people are questioning the biased role of WHO in this current coronavirus pandemic. It is talking about and promoting covid-19 vaccine but is totally ignoring and not talking about natural immunity in infection protection. On one hand, WHO is stating that both natural infection and vaccines provide equal protection from covid-19 virus and on the other hand, it is aggressively advocating immunization for the masses. It is deliberately not giving any importance to natural infection and it's vital role in preventing second infection from the virus. This medical organization seems to be totally relying on only one step to control the pandemic, namely vaccination. Why?

Natural infection and antibodies

Scientific studies so far have clearly shown that natural antibodies provide the best and longer-lasting protection as compared to any of the currently available vaccines against covid-19. Despite all these peer-reviewed data and publications, WHO is not mentioning any of these studies in its advisories that releases from time to time on the pandemic. Medical fraternity are raising doubts on the impartial role of WHO. Dr Sanjay Rai, Professor, Department of Community Medicine, AIIMS, Delhi states candidly:

“Since the beginning of the pandemic, the WHO’s role has been doubtful. Its obsession with vaccines is questionable,” 

WHO's technical briefs reveal this bias against natural immunity for covid protection. On 24 April 2020, it's technical brief mentioned that it refuses to provide immunity passports to those who have naturally got the infection. It's circular states:

“At this point in the pandemic, there is not enough evidence about the effectiveness of antibody-mediated immunity to guarantee the accuracy of an “immunity passport” or “risk-free certificate,”,” 

This is a direct clue of its bias towards vaccine.

Equal immunity with natural infection and vaccines

As data started accumulating, studies showed that natural infection gives immunity equal to that with vaccines. Hence in its 10 May 2021 briefing, WHO said that natural immunity is also at par with that from vaccines. It's brief said:

"Though rarely reported to date, reinfection with SARS-CoV-2 can occur. Four large studies from the United Kingdom, the United States of America and Denmark estimated that infection with SARS-CoV-2 provided 80-90% protection from reinfection up to 7 months, and up to 94% protection against symptomatic disease,” 


Despite this, it went on to conclude:

"Available tests and current knowledge do not tell us about the duration of immunity and protection against reinfection, but recent evidence suggests that natural infection may provide similar protection against symptomatic disease as vaccination, at least for the available follow-up period.”

Dr. Sanjay wants to know that with this background, why did not WHO say that vaccines are not needed for those who had the infection already. And on 27 November 2021, it said:

“Increasing COVID-19 vaccination coverage in all eligible age groups, but particularly in the old adults, health care workers and others with high risks of severe diseases should be prioritized by public health authorities.”

Why was there no mention of natural infection and antibodies in it. Why is it aggressively promoting vaccines and giving naturally produced antibodies a step motherly treatment??? Dr. Sanjay says:

“If everybody will be vaccinated, then the evidence in favour of the superiority of natural immunity will itself disappear. That’s really unfortunate.”

Dr Amitav Banerjee, Head, Department of Community Medicine, Dr DY Patil Medical College, Pune is in agreement with Dr. Sanjay's opinion. He adds:

“Real world population studies from Israel after the rollout of vaccination has established that such naturally acquired immunity is 13 times more robust than that induced by vaccines. Translating this in practice one can say that a person who has recovered from a natural infection has already received 13 boosters! Why can’t the WHO see this and include it into its advisories?” 

Dr. Amitav says:

"common sense, science and social epidemiology is being overlooked by the WHO and the global policymakers, and models based on inert numbers from the West are being projected to Asian and African countries with different transmission dynamics.”

Other expert opinions

Professor Gobardhan Das, a well-known immunologist who is associated with the Special Centre for Molecular Medicine, Jawaharlal Nehru University, states:

“It looks WHO is confused. On one side they are saying both vaccine and natural immunity provides equal protection, on the other, they are not ready to agree to consider those who recovered from infection as already immunized. In fact, real study data indicates natural infection elicits far better immune responses and protection,”

WHO is creating a panic to promote vaccines. It better stop and reevaluate to whom it should listen and what it should say rather than having a kneejerk reflex and following the vaccine manufacturers whose data would be a biased one for ulterior motives...

Morton's toe: Everything you need to know about your longer second toe

-
Image
 Often, one notices that the second toe of some people is longer than the great toe. People say different things for it. Many of them say that it implies that the owner of such a longer second toe is a dominant, creative, energetic person in real life and very ambitious and peace and happiness-loving. But no one has tried to understand the reason, science, medicine and problems of having such a toe. It is called as Morton’s toe or Greek foot.  What is a Greek foot? Many people in the world have a longer second toe of the foot. Such feature may be on one side or in both the feet. It is called Morton’s toe or Greek foot. The other names for it are Morton’s foot or royal toe. But the reason is not the second toe is longer but the fact is that the first metatarsal below the great toe is shorter. Thus it is not due to the faulty phalanges but due to the difference in height of the metatarsals. Since the second metatarsal is relatively longer than the first metatarsal, the joint at the base

There can be no universal forgiveness! It never exists!

-

Forgiveness or pardon means clearing off the feelings of resentment or revenge towards the offender. In most contexts it implies giving up any expectation of justice. People justify this act of forgiveness from a religious point of view and psychologists justify it as an act that would bring peace to the victim. But my experience tells me that both religion as well as psychologists are absolutely wrong in asking a victim to forgive the evil person. This act is bad from a society point of view and would lead to a rise in crimes and unhappiness. Let me explain in depth with examples. 1. I have a friend in the UK. She is originally from Nigeria. She has two siblings who are married with children and she herself is single and childless. In the year 2009, she had gone to her hometown. There her siblings tortured her physically and mentally and put her under house arrest. They did not want to give her any ancestral property and assets. She managed to free herself with the help of a friend an

 The decision of couples to have no children by choice seems tough but is increasing in the modern world. Though society looks down at such couples, the availability of effective and safe contraception and old age support from non-family agencies has made things a bit easier for such decisions to be made.  Reasons for voluntary childlessness 1. Personal reasons such as not wanting responsibilities of a child.  2. The emphasis on career rather than reproduction 3. The lack of desire to forward one's family genes or line due to child abuse.  4. Anguish against existence in general. 5. Non-readiness to give up one's freetime and social time for children rearing 6. Happier to help others raise kids 7. Preferring a pet over a child 8. Not wanting to give up personal space and sharing it with a child.  9. Not happy with child-rearing things such as cleaning up mess, disturbing one's sleep etc. 10. Not particularly fond of children behavior. 11. In some situations, one partner alr
