Weekly summary 38/2021

Hi,

this is a summary of what was going in the doll world in the 38th week of 2021, as far as we at Dollstudio & DS Doll Europe & Xycolo Europe were concerned.

1) Corona situation. a) The situation in general. The economic desaster caused by lockdowns and other measures of the now officially proclaimed 'New World Order' is unfolding.

With currently 63 studies including 31 Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) reporting positive effects of Ivermectin, there is plenty of sound 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%. All of this is clear evidence 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 keeps getting 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. Several Chinese manufacturer have issued alerts because of silicone shortages. Prices for other materials required to build dolls have increased by up tp 40%. New price lists state shoccking air freight costs, especially for taller and/or heavier dolls. Also, the first dolls have showed up where freight costs are approximately three times the item cost. So far, the worst item/freight ratio was 1:2 (freight costs twice as high as item cost).

2) New arrivals.

This week, four new heads were introduced:

• Irokebijin ›Abby‹ head - silicone
