Weekly summary 27/2021

Hi,

this is a summary of what was going in the doll world in the 27th week of 2021, as far as we at Dollstudio & DS Doll Europe were concerned.

1) Corona situation. a) The situation in general. Shocking revealings show that roughly 4,000 patents have been filed about the genetic code of beta coronaviruses in the past 20 years, especially that the dangerous parts of SARS-CoV-2 like the spike proteins have been patented long before there was Covid-19. Backed by evidence from patent registrations over the past two decades, claims have been made that there is nothing new in SARS-CoV-2. Among the entities holding these pre-existing patents are Pfizer, Moderna, the CDC, and the NIAID.

Proper Corona treatment is still denied in many countries around the world. With currently 62 studies including 32 Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) reporting positive effects of Ivermectin, there is sufficient research proving the efficacy of Covid-19 prophylaxis and treatment protocols like I-MASK+ and MATH+ available. Also, as reported in the Lancet, inhalation of Budesonid can reduce the probability of severe courses of disease by 90%. These are clear indications that the SARS-CoV-2 virus is similarily managable like any other easily transmissible virus. For what plausible reason is treatment and prophylaxis with Ivermectin or Budesonid still suppressed? #FollowtheScience.

For background information:

• COVID-19 treatment and prophylaxis - How to avoid infections and deaths
• Pandemic planning exercises 2001-2019

• Facts about Covid-19 (SPR)

b) Impact on the doll business. Corona does not have any direct influence on the doll business anymore. International transit times for doll shipments as well to destinations in Europe as to destinations in North America have normalized. Though, ripple effects become more and more evident for everybody as there are price increases and supply chain disruptions almost everywhere.

2) New arrivals.
