The enormous insensitivity of this government of the 4T had already been demonstrated more than once in these three years of exercise of power. In particular, we saw it very clearly in the case of children with cancer, whose parents, who have only been in the search for their children to have medicines on a regular basis for their treatment, this administration described as “coup plotters”, among other adjectives.
Well now, the Undersecretary of Health, Hugo López-Gatell, in the “Pulse of Health” of the presidential morning conference on Tuesday, September 7, made another of his unfortunate statements that will be remembered in the future: “For every child vaccinated with Amparo takes away the opportunity for an adult ”and the fact is that the country’s judges have issued 262 protections for children and adolescents under 17 years of age to be vaccinated against Covid-19.
Why does everything in Mexico have to be so difficult? A government decision, which would be prudent and wise, to vaccinate minors, especially in the context of the pandemic we are experiencing, which is aggravated by the new variants of SARS-Cov-2 that are emerging throughout the world. world, in our country it seems something to be fighting for.
In addition, it is necessary to remember that since last June in our country the emergency use of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine against Covid-19 for adolescents between 12 and 17 years of age has already been approved.
However, in the same press conference, Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard presumed that next October the 120 million doses of Covid-19 vaccines that have arrived or packaged in our country will be exceeded, which would go against what was said repeatedly by the government spokesman for the management of the pandemic.
And it is that if we have so many vaccines against Covid in our country, then it is not understood why each minor child who is vaccinated against the new disease with legal protection, takes away the opportunity to be immunized against Covid-19 to a adult, who would have the risk of being aggravated by the disease.
López-Gatell stressed that vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 “is not intended for individual protection, but for population protection” and brought to the table the fact that international health agencies have indicated that it is important to keep order prevention, from people from older adults to younger ones.
And, as is convenient for him, he resorted to science, despite the fact that many scientists – such as his staunch critic, Dr. Laurie Ann Ximénez Fyvie – have already told this official to better stop using that word, “science ”, Because he is already more political than medical. This singular politician warned:
“The scientific evidence is clear and consistent that the main risk of severe Covid, hospitalization, intubation and death is in the elderly. There is a scale where the risk decreases at younger ages. If we consider age, there is no reason to skip age ”.
According to Gatell’s sayings, by the end of October, when in theory the vaccination process will be completed with at least one dose for people 18 and over, it will be in a position to consider whether the 16 and 17-year-old group can be vaccinated , but not before … It will have been seen.
The pandemic spokesman returned to his old ways by saying that this decision has to be made for scientific reasons and not for commercial reasons, such as buying more doses of anti-Covid vaccines from pharmaceutical companies, which in this case is only Pfizer / BioNtech.
What does it mean to lose memory?
In two more weeks we will be commemorating “World Alzheimer’s Day”, so there is no better date to reflect on the practice of medicine in Mexico, which is more corrective than preventive. Therefore, from now on we have to take care, rather than worry, about the initiatives that help us preserve memory, and with it, our memories.
And it is that, as we can suppose, losing the memory is something terrible for those who suffer it and for all those who know the person, especially the family. But trying to be preventive in this area depends on many things, but many of them depend on us, such as having a good diet, exercising on a daily basis and doing what is called “brain gymnastics”. Learning new things, like a language, is a good idea.
However, it is necessary to recognize that we are oxidizing every day, like an apple after biting it, for which the mere passage of the years causes visible damage to all, but more in some than in others, without a doubt. Food supplements such as Omega 5 are a good option, but with nanotechnology, which allows it to reach our brain.
It is important to say that the nanoemulsified Omega 5 began to be developed in Israel in 2013 by the Hadassah Medical Center, which has state-of-the-art technology, and the University of Jerusalem, which also has great prestige. After rigorous research, it was found that this product slows the progression of many neurological diseases that arise over the years, such as senile dementia, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, among others.
In our country, studies have been carried out on the efficiency of the product in top-level institutions, such as the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), the Salvador Zubirán National Institute of Nutrition (INNSZ), the Manuel Gea González General Hospital (HGMGG), the National Polytechnic Institute (IPN), and in this month of September, the National Institute of Neurology and Neurosurgery Manuel Velasco Suárez (INNMVS) will join.
This science supports the quality of the product and is the reason why the Jayor Laboratory, led by Dr. Samuel Serfati, and the distributor Biolife -both representatives of this product in Mexico-, continue to invest in research and development, in addition to looking for more people to try the product and attest to the benefits in the quality of life of the patient.

* “That López-Gatell stop using words that he does not understand, such as ‘science'”: Dr. Laurie Ann Ximénez-Fyvie, at the time of criticizing the statements of the Undersecretary of Health that there is no scientific evidence to authorize booster vaccines Covid.
* Now that the government uses science and clinical research so much in the speech, it would be good if it could tell us when the country’s teachers will have their second booster dose of the Cansino Covid vaccine due to the loss of efficacy at six months, which was evidenced by a phase 3 study protocol carried out in Mexico, at the National Institute of Medical Sciences and Nutrition (INCMNSZ).
