Scientific Advancements in the Pandemic Era: VSS Update #53 | Advocating for Science and Unity

Introduction

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected every aspect of life, including the scientific community. Researchers have had to adapt to new ways of working, including remote collaboration and virtual conferences. In this article, we will discuss the updates from the Voice for Science and Solidarity (VSS) community during the pandemic.

Remote Collaboration

One of the biggest challenges faced by the scientific community during the pandemic has been the need for remote collaboration. Many researchers have had to work from home, which has made it difficult to collaborate with colleagues. However, the VSS community has been able to overcome this challenge by using virtual collaboration tools such as Zoom and Skype.

These tools have allowed researchers to continue working on their projects and to collaborate with colleagues from around the world. In addition, virtual collaboration has also made it easier for researchers to attend conferences and workshops that they may not have been able to attend in person.

Virtual Conferences

Another way that the VSS community has adapted to the pandemic is by hosting virtual conferences. Many scientific conferences have been cancelled or postponed due to the pandemic, but the VSS community has been able to continue hosting conferences virtually.

Virtual conferences have several advantages over in-person conferences. For example, they are more accessible to researchers who may not have been able to attend in person due to financial or logistical constraints. In addition, virtual conferences are also more environmentally friendly, as they do not require travel.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the COVID-19 pandemic has presented many challenges to the scientific community, but the VSS community has been able to adapt and continue their work. Remote collaboration and virtual conferences have allowed researchers to continue working on their projects and to collaborate with colleagues from around the world.

As the pandemic continues, it is likely that remote collaboration and virtual conferences will become even more important for the scientific community. However, it is important to remember that these tools are not a replacement for in-person collaboration and conferences. In-person collaboration and conferences are still important for building relationships and fostering innovation in the scientific community

VSS Scientific Updates During Pandemic Times #53 | Voice for Science and Solidarity

1. «No one really wants to talk about COVID anymore»From Geert: The WHO have no clue what’s going on. They still tend to make people believe that potential enhanced virulence of SARS-CoV-2 could only occur in case of recombination and that this could accidentally happen due to widespread infection (including mammals). When are these Corona stars going to realize (or should I say ‘admit’?) that the fulminant spread of variants results from immune selection pressure caused by C-19 mass vaccination? Has humanity ever experienced an immune escape pandemic before? No!  Have natural pandemics ever led to unrestrained breeding of immune escape variants? No!Because they don’t understand why – despite the absence of functional (i.e., neutralizing Abs) – vaccinees are still
