https://www.afinalwarning.com/510003.html (Natural News) European researchers discovered a new species of cuckoo wasps in Norway’s Lista peninsula. The newfound species is nearly identical and behaves similary to another kind of cuckoo wasps,
Chrysis brevitarsis, making it difficult to distinguish them from each other. Both are parasitic wasps that leech off other insects to feed their young.
In a paper published in the journal
Insect Systematics and Diversity, the researchers detailed how they were able to identify the newfound species using the chemicals they emit to communicate.
Identifying new cuckoo wasp species
Cuckoo wasps have a beautiful jewel-toned exterior and are notorious kleptoparasites. This means that they lay their eggs in the nests of bees and other wasp species and let their offspring, which grow faster and hatch before the host’s eggs, after which they devour their “siblings” and the food provided by the host.
A Broader Basis for Making Decisions concerning Viral Vector Vaccines
The final decision concerning the use of the AstraZeneca and Janssen COVID-19 vaccines will be taken by the Norwegian Government. A committee of experts, both foreign and national, will be appointed to examine the consequences of using or not using these vaccines in the vaccination programme.
The Norwegian Institute of Public Health recommends removing the AstraZeneca vaccine from the vaccination programme permanently due to the risk of rare but severe side effects. The Norwegian Institute of Public Health has assessed this in relation to the COVID-19 situation in Norway.
The assessment made by the experts at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health is solid and thorough. Working with colleagues in Denmark, the Norwegian Institute of Public Health and the community of experts in Norway were quick to discover these side effects and assess the causal connection to the vaccine.
