I am a doctor and warn you that you do not believe these myths of Covid
Believers that they could prove fatal for you or someone else.
There is a lot of information outstanding aboutCOVID-19 [Feminine vaccines, potential for market treatments for virus and masks efficiency. In fact, many online forums are filled with claims, allegedly backed by scientific evidence and approval of health experts. However, according toDarren P. Mareiniss, MD, Assistant Emergency Medicine Professor in Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University of Philadelphia, part of the information is not only downright false, but potentially dangerous. In fact, believe it can prove fatal. Here are 6 myths of dangerous covid during the propagation and convincing proof of the reason you should not believe them. Read on and to ensure your health and health of others, do not miss theseSure sign that you have "Long" Covid and may even know.
Myth N ° 1: Children will suffer long-term damage to the health of the mask bearing
Many states and school districts require masks for students, whether vaccinated. One of the greatest concerns expressed by parents is the idea that masks damage their children's health and can lead to long-term repercussions.
Made: the masks are safe and the delta variant is not
However, this is not the case, according to Dr. Mareiniss. "Wearing a mask will not cause your child's harm," he explains. "There are no adverse effects on breathing, increasing the inhalation of carbon dioxide or any adverse effect on the immune system." He even emphasizes that the American pediatric academy supports the use of facial masks to prevent COVID-19 infection. If you are worried about your child's health, he notes that you should focus your concern on the prevention of an infection. "If your child is infected with the Delta variant, there is a potential prejudice that can result." Bottom Line: "As masks are protective against infection, the masks wear masks are beneficial."
Myth n ° 2: the vaccine is more deadly than the virus
One of the main concerns of people on the vaccine is that it's dangerous and even fatal. In fact, some claim that the vaccine is more deadly than the virus itself.
Made: the risk associated with the vaccine is very, very low
Dr. MareINISS Database CDC: 38 852 581 COVID-19 infections in the United States and 635 015 Deaths of these infections since 20202020202020202020 to 23 August 2021, more than 363 million doses of vaccine have been administered in the United States. "Among these doses, there have been complications or deaths that threatened life threatening through life," he stresses. Recently, there was a confirmed death of a mRNA vaccine administered in New Zealand. In addition, there were some secondary deaths in TTS following the J & J vaccine. "However, the number of confirmed deaths of vaccination is extremely rare," he continues.
"The idea and misconception that vaccination causes more deaths than coronavirus infections are completely false and not supported by any data. In addition, the affirmation is dangerous because it can prevent people from being vaccinated and, therefore , cause preventable deaths. The vast majority of deaths and hospitalizations come from unvaccinated people. Vaccination, accurate and irrefutable data, prevents hospitalization and death and is the most effective way to avoid a result negative. "
Myth n ° 3: Covid vaccine can sterilize women and cause birth defects
Another concern of parents and younger people is that the vaccine can affect fertility. Some even believe that it can sterilize women. And, there are also chatters that it can cause emerging defects on the road.

Done: The vaccine has no impact on fertility or causes birth defects
This is just not true, says Dr. Mareiniss. "The subject has been studied and no effect has been observed on fertility, nor any lack of birth or teratogenic effect has been determined to date," he explains. "In addition, ACOG (American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology) has subscribed for vaccination for pregnant and lactating women. In addition, CDC noted that these vaccinations are safe and indicated in pregnant women, lactating women and these pregnancies specific. The examination of the fertility of vaccinated women has shown no negative effect of vaccination. In addition, a study published in April 2021 in New England Journal of Medicine did not show any increase in adverse results for Pregnant women vaccinated. "
Myth n ° 4: Take Ivermectin can prevent and treat Covid-19
Some people take ivermectin, an anti-parasite drug used to treat the blindness of the rivers and an infection of the intestinal round odors in humans and the dew of pets and livestock, in the hope that this will prevent COVID-19 infection. Others take it after their infection to treat it.

Done: there is no concrete evidence of ivermectin and can be more detrimental than useful
"Ivermectin has been studied in several tests as a potential treatment for COVID-19. However, the data is indeterminate at this stage because they were of poor quality, "explains Dr. Mareiniss. In addition, some of the studies, including a retrospective study, had problems of confusion. "Patients treated with ivermectin have also been treated with steroids, which are known to be beneficial for serious covidation symptoms. As a result, the study was inconclusive. As a result, some in vitro studies ( Studies carried out in test tubes) have shown a potential advantage of ivermectin, it was at a dose / concentration that far exceeded those obtained with doses of safe medicines. "It also emphasizes that there is a clear danger To take inappropriate high doses of ivermectin. "Large doses of this drug can lead to significant toxic effects, including: gastrointestinal effects (nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea), headache, blurred vision, vertigo, tachycardia (elevated heart rate), hypotension, hypotension, Visual hallucinations, modified mental state, confusion, loss of coordination and equilibrium, central nervous system depression and seizures. "
Myth n ° 5: masks do not work
Some people believe that masks are ineffective in preventing the propagation of COVID, which has become a big argument from parents to combat mask masque policies in schools.
RELATED: You are now mandated to wear a face mask in these 8 states
Done: even the fabric masks decrease the transmission
There is a large amount of study data that demonstrates that the use of masks (not only N95 masks) is effective in preventing the propagation of CVIV-19 transmission and decreasing transmission, notes Dr. Mareiniss. "Those who claim that no data exists is wrong. There is both observation data and animal study data supporting the use of masks to prevent infections. Of note, there is Study data supporting the use of cloth and surgical masks as effective in preventing infectious transmission, "he says." For those who claim that the data only takes care of N-95, this is not correct again. Coronavirus spreads mainly inside and aerosol. As a result, masking significantly decreases viral transmission in air and potential infection. The published data have deposited from transmission with the use of masks. In particular and by supporting this fact, in hospitals where the staff carries masks at any time, several epidemics have been linked to Cases in Coses where the staff were eating without fault. "
Myth # 6: "You do you and I'll do myself" when it comes to hide
Another argument that many people have to hide the mandates, is that their decision not to wear mask does not affect anyone. Instead of masking masks in schools, they believe that masks should be optional and that if people are concerned, they can simply wear a mask and be good.

Made: masks are more efficient when everyone does it
Dr. Mareiniss notes that the masks work better when everyone does it. "In a crisis of infectious disease, such as the current pandemic, non-pharmaceutical interventions such as social distance, masking and avoidance of large gatherings have been specified to reduce the transmission, hospitalization and death of the Disease in the community, "he explains. "Do not hide or observe these public health recommendations puts all persons in the at-risk community. If a person refuses to mask and is infected, they can cause inadvertently transmission and potential death from others. So," Me ' do me "will affect or potentially damage to you and you and you."
