Why I get the TWO Annual Vaccines

- I got vaccinated, and before I explain why, I want to emphasize that just because I eat a particular diet, take a supplement, or in this case get vaccinated does not in any way mean that you should as well.

how about a science based debate with Dr John Campbell? Isn’t that kind of testing of ideas how we all become more accurate in our views?
You shouldn't have to explain this. I've never had covid because I get a shot every 4 months. That's what the science shows prevents infection. I'm at like 14 shots or something. I also support anti-vaxers as I support Darwin. Let Darwin work.
Without the "tea" we would have gone through this naturally and there would be no excess "departures" from the "tea" as we see today.
Oh my, it looks like you've stirred up a hornet's nest, Dr. Stanfield. Personally, I keep up to date on my vaccinations.

What about natural immunity?
Would be great if you could have a scientific discussion about this with Dr. John Campbell. He seems to have reasonable concerns and it would be insightful to have an open minded debate on this.
Thank you for this comment.
Why debate with a conspiracy theorist? The earth is not flat!
That could be the influencer he's referring to because a lot of people mentioned Campbell in the comments for Brad's last video
@@applerunner1184 You can have a public debate/discussion with a flat earther and for the majority of the audience the absurdity of it becomes obvious if not already clear. Regardless of your stance on this, to shy away from an open discussion especially with someone as polite and respectful as Dr. John Campbell only shows that you are not really looking for the truth.
John Campbell is actually not a medical doctor, from what I can tell. He holds degres in biology and nursing. I do wonder if some of his analysis isn't misinformed.
I appreciate the fact that you carefully point out that different people have differing risk tolerances and should make the decision that is right for them. That is the heart of responsible medicine, and I think you are doing a great job.
I believe the source of vitriol in the comments come from a misdirection of anger at the policy makers and media who forced people to take a medication against their will (regardless of what the science says about its effectiveness and safety) or lose their jobs or ability to travel. It's going to take a long time to rebuild public trust of the medical establishment.
This is the best comment here 🙌🏼
@christinelewis8397 Exactly this. The goal should always be to educate and give people the ability to make informed decisions. Not to treat the population like pawns and force them to do it for their own good.
I completely understand the vitriol because more often than not, when it’s for “your own good” it’s due to ulterior motives, especially when governments are involved, but that just isn’t the case here. This is a classic case of government overreach and this is the unintended consequence of it.
It’s a shame because the science is clear that these types of vaccines are both beneficial and safe. But I think it’s also clear that people should be allowed to make their own choices.
Unfortunately allowing people to make their own choice when it affects others is a very bad idea. You don't want people pooing in the open in their own lawn for instance, because of the smell, the disease and contamination of ground water, although its their private property.
@NoahPadi-ij3rf If it is beneficial for a person, and the person knows that it is beneficial, then they don’t need to be forced to do it. They will just do it. The last part of the equation (the “know its beneficial), requires education and knowledge. What we need is to educate. It’s sad that you think that the majority of people are irrational and don’t care for others, because the truth is most people are rational and care for others. It’s a gap in knowledge and all government has done is failed to educate and failed to ensure trust. Also I would try to work on your analogies.
What vitriol? I’ve read, 30+ comments so far and have not encountered a single vitriolic comment.
Good video. Glad to see you’re playing a straight bat, and not pandering to the vaccine conspiracists.
Holy ish this is a full re t4rd moment so late in the game
Reeeeeeeeee t4rded
It baffles why so many can’t understand the concept of risk vs benefit. Something about public health makes their brains malfunction. And furthermore, why follow a science oriented channel if your critical thinking ability becomes overruled by emotions and personal anecdotes?
There is tons of evidence that the COVID shots are harmful. But this MD is very healthy and should not really be getting them especially multiple boosters
it's so depressing.
LOL at your complete lack of self awareness.
My critical thinking AND personal experience made me decide I need not any vaccine or any kind of industrialized chemical. I have my veggies, eggs, nuts and meat and I've never been sick. Maybe I've been blessed with such great health or maybe just luck. I will not obsess with getting sick and constant being afraid of any flu. It worked well for me. My experience says so.
You didn’t say a single thing
Since we're all sharing our own personal (anecdotal) experiences, I have stayed on top of my vaccine schedule my entire 41 years and have not had any issues.
Wish you all the best
@@bbybeatboxx lol i won't hold my breath, simp
God bless you and your family. Thank you for making this video!
how did they control for the healthy user bias you often tell us about in the covid vaccine study?
Thank you Dr. for sticking to your guns and not giving in to the grifters screaming in the comments.
So many content creators will tell their audience what they want to hear, even if that info is mis/disinformation, for popularity. This is not you.
You've reaffirmed my confidence in you as a quality source of medical information. Thank you!
👏👏👏
get more boosters if you want, the commenters are just trying to help people who follow blindly to understand this is flawed medical advice
I've *never* had a flu shot and have *never* had seasonal flu. That is 60 years without having had flu. I appear to be somewhat resistant to it.
I had swine flu and I know who I caught that from, so I know for sure it was swine flu.
I've also never knowingly had that other virus that has been going around recently.
You are either a lier or you are a hermit.
If flu shots worked, you wouldn't need one every year.
I get boosted every week and have fauci posters over my bed.
While it's a controversial subject, I very much appreciate you sharing your thought process and rationale for getting vaccinated. I personally arrive at the same decision, which is to get vaccinated (but to each their own - people should have the choice to make the health decisions they would like to make).
I'm glad there are health professionals online who aren't influenced by their subscriber base but instead give advice based on the available evidence.
Unfortunately during the pandemic a lot of mistakes were made by the government. This has made people way too skeptical towards vaccines without any hint of skepticism towards their own position.
In my country we weren't allowed to go outside after 22:00 you weren't allowed to see other people, many businesses had to forcefully be closed. A lot of people suffered from depression and even my niece committed suicide during the lockdowns, but it's important to detach the vaccines from the politicians behind COVID
Anyone trying to remove politicians responsibility from the covid grift is extremely gullible
Convinced me I can't trust my government about anything
@@BitZapple can you provide evidence that he's influenced?
Your country saved millions of elderly people from dying and living several more years than they otherwise would have.
@@donwinston impossible, my country is smaller than you think😁
The people who said I couldn't go out after 22:00 were the same people who said the shot was safe and effective and must be taken or else be fired. Why would I DETACH those two events??
My only objection to vaccinations is the current clinical guideline for infant and paediatric vaccinations in the United States. The CDC (US government Centers for Disease Control) recommends 27 vaccines TWENTY SEVEN - and that's including combined vaccines as a single vaccine - before the age of 24 months! Some for things I've never even heard of, and some are only a risk when travelling (dengue fever). I had the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella), the combined tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis), smallpox (still active in my youth), and (as soon as it was available when I was 7 years old) polio. So, for me, the schedule was vaccination for eight infectious diseases and it was spread out from infancy through age 3, with one straggler (polio). I truly believe that the recommended vaccination schedule is not stimulating a healthy immune system, but overwhelming it. I am not alone in this belief. Statistically, the children who are least likely to receive the full compliment of vaccines on the schedule recommended in the US are the children of pediatricians! I think vaccines are a wonderful invention of modern medicine, but the CDC has gone too far. We need to vaccinate against fewer diseases (especially in infancy) and spread the schedule out. Sadly, it has become a political issue instead of a medical one as your comment section more than adequately demonstrates.
@@bbybeatboxx Huh? He's a healthy young man with low risk of side effects from vaccination, who is at very high risk from professional exposure, and who is even more at risk of transmitting viral infections to his patients, so it's pretty much a professional necessity. I don't get the influenza shots because I have a very different risk profile. But vaccines are a Godsend. I'm old enough to remember a neighbor's baby who died of whooping cough, my Grandmother went deaf as a child because of measles, and I was confined to the house (a house with no air conditioning in blazing 100+ degree Texas heat!) during polio outbreaks. Different people have different ways of assessing risk, and perfectly reasonable people can disagree. But I think the risks of polio, measles, mumps, and whooping cough, which have NEVER been eradicated - they are merely rare because of vaccines - is much worse than a fairly low risk of a bad allergy response to the vaccine itself. The biggest concern was Thimersol, the mercury preservative, but that's been completely banned and all manufacturing of that preservative halted, back in 2001. Why are you against vaccines? Especially, why are you against vaccines for front-line health workers who are at high risk?
Every person in the military gets a single shot of a dozen or so vaccines or whatever in boot camp. No one is getting ill because of it.
@@bbybeatboxx yeah...he has totally gone to the big pharma side of things...i noticed it a while ago but i kept listening to his BS but after this it is hook line and sinker...i could never listen to his BS again.
One issue I’d be interested in hearing your opinion on is immune system exhaustion from excess vaccination. I’ve seen studies suggesting that it may be optimal in the longer term to only take the flu vax every 3-4 years. As for Covid, the studies I’ve seen indicate that the novavax shot has the best overall profile for risk/benefit, although it’s often overlooked as an option.
Your recent stances show a lot of integrity and the off-script bit comes across as very genuine. Emphasizing the risk/reward ratio is exactly the evidence-based thinking we need, as opposed to black and white thinking that unfortunately seems so common with this topic, judging by many of the comments here. Thank you!
Careful science is the best way we have of understanding the risks and benefits of any intervention and it’s nice to see it broken down like this!
but we need true science though.
we have no longterm studies on it. learn science
Imagine following a channel that's devoted to breaking down medical research findings and their associated risks, but then getting mad when those findings contradict their views against vaccines. Well done on posting this Brad. The evidence doesn't care whether your audience likes it or not, and if you're going to maintain your credibility, then it means occasionally having to post about a topic that some people won't like. I'm sorry you're getting so much backlash in the comments, but hope that you'll continue to post objective findings, regardless of what the comments section looks like. 👍
Hey Doc, you're a brave man with more integrity than a lot of people making content on the Internet.
I am curious how all the people in the comments know what caused myocarditis in themselves or the people they know.
And if they have proof that stemmed from the vaccine rather than the virus itself considering there is a multipleX higher likelihood of getting it from the virus than from the vaccine.
yeah.....clearly you havent heard the thousands of testimonies of those whose loved ones, fit young and healthy dropped dead within minutes or hours of getting these shots...........
As you point out Dr. Stanfield, the safety of these shots are relative to the individual. I had a serious debilitating reaction to the flu shot over 23 years ago, hence I do not take these shots. My cousin on my mother's side contracted full on Guillain Barre syndrome from the shot. My rant is there have been no long term double blind studies to determine if these shots are doing more long term harm than good, because they are "too important" to do proper studies.
What about the Cochrane review he cited? Don't bother responding: I can already tell what you think. Also, correlation does not imply causation
You dont need long term studies if you know your intent !!!
Forget the politically correct proceedure BS.
These people have gov. approved pieces of paper to give credibility... Game over !!!
@@broderickwallis25 so studies are just government approved pieces of paper now ?
Nope another common misconception repeated by anti vaxxers, which also highlights like all the others that hold similar views , you’re not interested in truth, if you were you’d have found out this was a misconception.
Thanks for sharing, appreciate your opinion
Great video. Very informative.
@@bbybeatboxx Given that actual information was presented and analyzed... Yes, really.
That thumbnail is everything 😂
Well done Brad and thanks.
Good for you.
Know what I do to keep being healthy? I eat healthy, I do NOT obsesses with getting sick and believe me , I needed doctors only when my job requested admission test. Now I am not a doctor or scientist or whatsoever, I'm just sharing my personal experience.
It would be interesting to hear what the rates of myocarditis are from catching COVID itself. The articles I've read on meta-analyses has put it at 7x to 10x+ likely.
A lie to cover vaccine injury just like all the other problems discovered to be "caused by COVID" *after* people started taking the shots. "COVID causes blood clots!" "COVID causes heart attacks!" Whatever COVID is capable of causing, the vaccine will induce a FAR WORSE version.
It is what most vaccinated people hope for that it was covid
Your respect for science and medicine is why I watch and keep coming back for more. Sticking to what is right and true (as best we can given proper evidence) even in the face of criticism is admirable, and I am grateful you are willing to risk some hate clicks and trash talk - possibly even losing followers - to provide an honest assessment of your understanding of the risk vs reward of taking any vaccine, medication, or supplement.
The data is messy but even putting aside all of that the Covid shot is experimental so no matter what he claims he simply doesn’t have any long term data and cannot claim it to be safe. If someone is at great risk fine but there are many populations such as children where administering this is beyond reckless

Sounds so lame
Over 100 million Americans had been exposed to it by the end of 2020 according to the NIH Director's blog. Many/most had no clue that they were exposed.
I'm with you doctor 👍 keep true to yourself and never stop believing in your mission of education!
@@bbybeatboxx true story.
Thankyou for your hard work researching this for us Dr Brad. I've been meaning to catch up on the current research before making my decision. You're a Star. Your work is much appreciated. 💜💜💜💜💜💜
research lol."what who says....what the cdc says, a couple of gates foundation funded studies say?.........there are literally thousands of specialist in virology and with related expertise that have by silenced by the msm/pfizer /government/big tech cabal for raising dire concerns and talking about the massive side effects..............now listening to those "experts" as well would constitute something approaching "research"
Here for the comments
Great video Brad. Thank you for speaking using data, science and verifiable facts.
I hope you understand that a lot of the comments here are “brigaiding” behavior. It basically an online mob that has been told to come here and negatively comment by an influencer somewhere.
You can ignore the negativity. Your true fans and subscribers know you and appreciate your candor and integrity.
Keep up the good work.
your remark is entirely borne out of relief that many doctors like Brad haven't done actual research......ie studied the claims of some oof the worlds top virologists who highlighted the massive damage caused by these shots...............in other words you got sucked into getting this experiment and now you feel better because doctor brad has as well.
I think you did well to speak up. Just like you do about the other things you do.
Yikes.
You might speak to why Countries in Europe have halted Moderna.
Good to hear you discuss your consideration of the relative risks 👍🏽
Appreciate your insights always, but even at at 67, I'm fine foregoing vaxs. Sure got covid twice, but was always minor. First time was actually doing crossing from Jamacia to Hartford with split captain duties, then gave it to fellow crew.
I hope you don't die. And I mean that. I'm not saying that sarcastically.
I guess a question which comes up is if the virulence of the COVID virus has subsided since the publication of vaccine studies and clinical guidelines should we take it just to prevent or limit cold-like symptoms given the unknown etiology in excess deaths?
I desire an in-depth risk vs reward analysis for different demographics; Such as a 20yo male with 0 comorbidities, a 40yo female with 1 comorbidity, a 60yo with 4, etc, and for each one do a risk vs reward analysis of these injections compared to not doing them, such as "He has a 10% higher chance of having symptom X within X time" rather than just "WHO says less chance of C19 for 6 months" or "for my patients". This video seems like an introduction. Nevertheless I remain subscribed.
So many of these comments really point to the need for a good science education at school. The fact that it's become a political issue is just insane. As healthy people, we have a duty to take care of those who cannot.
Too many conspiracy theorists out in the world. Cause a lot of troubles for normal people
you mean an education that explains why "all vaccines " must go through at least 5 years of trials including cohort studies in order to be approved with solid short and medium term, preferably long term data demonstrating high safety and efficacy?..........except covid which was rushed out in a few months.....Duuuuuh you must have missed that day of "solid science at skewl"
As a person who is into (left wing) politics i want to give you another type of optics. It is indeed political and thats okay i believe. People have a reason to not trust both pharma companies and governments, its not just about "good education" because if people prefer to trust a random conspiracy theorist from youtube instead of their governments or pharma companies then the system sucks because it has such a horrible trust issue, tho even education is political so makes sense.
We are living in a capitalist world and these private pharma companies are driven by profit aka they want your money no matter what so they actually don't really care if you are healthy or not and this drives some people into these exaggerated theories. And dont forget that there were *tons* of scandals around these companies so their credibility was ruined a long long time ago. They did actual bad and shady stuff too often so many people don't trust them anymore at all, both left/right or "apolitical"
About governments...well I probably shouldn't explain why so many people hate their governments, states basically do bad stuff to people on a daily basis so whatever. Lastly while i cringe hard from conspiracy theorists they do have a place in this world. These people are forcing companies/governments to provide more detailed and thoughtful proofs of a discussed topic, they are asking for more open information (you know like these closed archives we are not allowed to see and if its closed it can be aliens lmao but you get what i mean) and provide actual arguments instead of "just trust us bro".
Still everything is in a horrible state today because people forget that these conspiracy theorists are doing this stuff for their profit too so they are invested into providing bs just to generate traffic. In the end you can yell at people that its an "easy and basic school science issue" but im sure only actual vaccine sciencists do understand how all of it *actually* works and most of us can analize it only on a very basic level so in the end its a trust issue once again
@@manfredschultz9619 my answer was deleted w/e yes sure its easier to be "out" of politics because you dont need to analize how things around you actually work "there is no politics in government sponsored private pharma companies they just work". Being out of politics means pretending that status quo is the only way things could and should work and that there can't be any changes to it
I do not have to protect anyone. Take care of your own health

@@bbybeatboxx I don't even understand what you are trying to say. I understand that you somehow feel like I have done something wrong in cheering him on doing a science based, rather than conspiratorial and political video about vaccines (or are you just a foil hat when it comes to covid vaccines?). Making this video that was based in evidence and was important to put out, instead of avoiding the topic to not lose viewers because a science based treatment somehow became a matter of opinion.
@@bbybeatboxx sad to hear your comments are getting deleted. Happens to me sometimes as well, it is aggravating.
And no, I live in Sweden so I don't usually go to the CDC for my information. But I have multiple sources that lay the ground for my opinion. What are yours?
And what leads to the total lack of trust in your own government? I don't want to think that you are a cliche and both vote for Trump, doubt that we landed on the moon and that the earth is flat, but that is the vibe I am getting...
I salute you, Dr. Stanfield. It's brave to tackle vaccines straight on knowing well your public. I recognize your handling of controversy, even if I personally have a soft spot for Dr. Sinclair. You take the data, you do the scientifical research, you do you, not for likes or for but for the sake of truth in your field. Being loved or being hated doesn't matter, the Hippocratic Oath is above everything. That's badass. Well, thank you for your service.

The grifter John Campbell
I've seen a number of Campbell's videos, and while I'm not convinced that he is always, or even usually, correct in his conclusions, I didn't find any signs of outright graft, at least unless he's been captured by an audience he's grown dependent on.

As a doctor you are a practitioner of science and so you should yourself honor the science and take all the recommended vaccines.
someone at my work caught covid. young guy, he had it rough, he was a month out
Was he vaccinated? If so, how many times?? Vaccine Enhanced Disease is real.
I'm glad your promoting self-risk assessments and self researching for ANY vaccine. Whether your pro or anti for any of them, you should be able to ask questions and not be ridiculed or forced into anything. These last few years really showed how disgusting humanity is.
Understand that you do your own best decisions, and from compelling reasons. I'm single, good health, and actually prefer if I catch something it helps my immune system. Sure I caught Covid twice, first time in flight to BVI to help crew catamaran back to the states. Still able to handle my shifts, although they caught it from me.
Viruses cause long term damage. You don't just improve your immune system when you get sick and then nothing bad happens. Infections cause long term damage, and it accumulates. Many cause cancer down the line.
Thank you for protecting your community. I hope you also look into HEPA filters and wear an ffp2 respirator around vulnerable patients 😊
my wife’s lost hearing in her left ear and we contracted a virus at the ENT office which massively worsened symptoms. There were no HEPA filters and the doctor didn’t even wear a surgical mask.

Hello Doctor - not exactly related to this video but checking on your thinking for a cancer screening test by company Galleri - test is called Grail and looks at blood compounds for checking on 50 different cancers at cost of about $1000. Please could comment on this test or do a podcast as seems groundbreaking if valid as if can catch cancer early then easier to treat. Thanks
Detractors are very noisy. The subscriber count for this channel has barely moved since that other post.
My point is: there are very few unsubscribers.
We'll see if that changes over the next few days.
Yup I agree and I was thinking the same thing. The vocal minority is VERY loud. The vast majority of people simply don't comment at all, and are not unsubscribing lol.
We're sticking around to see what happens.
I appreciate the sharing of your decision making process. Rational and thought out. Whether or not we all agree at least you don't blindly follow one camp (or influencer, haha) or the other. We should be thankful that most still have the freedoms to do so.
I appreciate your attitude - its similar to mine - where I have gotten all my vaccinations and boosters, but I also understand the people who were reluctant to get the covid vaccine - having good friends who were - but eventually got their shots after half of their church ended up getting covid. BTW, never pushed them to get their shots; they are adults and can make their own decisions. Personally, I sure don't want to end up with long covid - which is why I got the booster this year.
"Long Covid" LOL. 🙄
I really appreciated your video for its clear explanations. You've shared your personal reasons for getting vaccinated, emphasizing the importance of individual choice in this matter.
It's understandable that some may choose differently, but resorting to hate speech in the comments reflects ignorance and is entirely unnecessary.
Great video! Thanks for sharing this info as well as the evidence-based data. As an immune compromised person I truly appreciate health professionals who take necessary precautions to protect patients.
Thank you for another informative video Brad and I commend your decision to do what you think is the correct thing in choosing a vaccination. The highlight for me were the family photos! I wish you and your family a safe and prosperous future.
Dr. Stanford, This is why your channel is the bomb. You speak truth to power, research and report on the risk reward ratio of all medical treatments, and NEVER back down from science.
Thank you.
@@BitZapple Stunning and brave... Very empowered.
In your situation, I would probably make a similar decision. Ditto if I was older or had certain kinds of chronic health conditions.
Why? So you could accelerate towards death?
Much love to you Dr Stanfield for not being afraid to tackle a controversial topic! It is nice to see that even on such a contentious issue, most of the disagreeing comments are polite.
It is baffling to me how someone calmly explaining his own decision, while very clearly stating that he isn't encouraging anyone else to do the same just because he did, can receive so many accusations of being a sheep or a sellout, simply for saying something that some people don't agree with. People are allowed to genuinely have different opinions from us without being part of a big conspiracy.
I really think we should try and avoid seeing people with different opinions as less intelligent or less rational than we are, and keep in mind that it's possible that we might be wrong. As far as I know, the scientific method is about trying to disprove our theories, not confirming them.
Also, immunology and epidemiology are really complex subjects. Statistically speaking, chances are high that most of us don't know anything about those fields. It's okay to admit it, instead of throwing random facts or article references at each other that we've heard our favorite influencer cite, without even knowing how to fact-check them and weigh them against each other.
Being interested in science is great, but let's be careful that we don't fall for the Dunning-Kruger effect. The more confident we are about what we believe, the more likely it is that we might get blind-sighted and fall into confirmation bias. Expressing nuance and doubt is okay, and we don't have to 'pick a side' and go on a crusade for it.
Agreed, polarised mindsets and belief blind us. Nothing is black or white.
@@nft3 Hi, thank you for your reply! I never stated anything about whether I believe there is a link or not, as I am not an expert in those fields at all, and therefore I don't think I'm legitimate to make such a statement. Which I think goes for most of the people in this comment section as well. I was just commenting on the form of many comments I've seen, which seemed unnecessarily agressive and overly confident, because I don't think that's an approach that benefits anyone. I hope that clears that up :)
@@nft3 Oh, I thought I knew what you meant by link (as in the link between the vaccine and health issues you mentioned), was there something I misunderstood?

I think debating with the anti covid vaccine MDs would be very interesting to understand why your conclusions are so different.
Why would he want to debate kooks? The whole world says what he says.
@@donwinston Because 1. I don't see the flaws in their arguments. 2. I am not a scientist. 3. I can't counter their flawed argument to people who trust them. 4. I know 4 people who got very very bad reactions to covid vaccine. 1 of them died at 25yo from heart 1 week after. You seem to be in the religion camp. I stay open minded and want to know if it's bad luck or misunderstanding of the data. Forever student.
talk about the mechanisms of action for the covid vax and how it compares to actual vaccines ...
This is the correct response
The problem with BOTH the vaccine and covid infection, is the negative impact on the microbiome and mitochondria. I’d love to hear more about the best solutions you can find for this, beyond generalizations about “good” diet and exercise.
What? RFK Jr must be your man.Stop listening to idiots.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
66yo, extremely healthy, had the flu and COVID vaccine 4 times, no side effects. Got COVID twice, sore throat for a day, was back running 6k two days later.
Well done still does not mean you are out of the woods or that many others have not been harmed
@@redpilled9595 i think the data says that myocardial damage from actually getting covid is at a higher rate than from the vaccine. i’m not a “young man” so i no longer fit the profile.
the original variant was way worse than omicron so i may not keep getting the vaccine .. especially if the protection only lasts 3 or 4 months. l
I had covid in October 2020 and it wasn't too bad though caused me quite a bit of worrying. I later had two vaccinations during all the hysteria. I haven't had any beyond that because I worry about being harmed by the vaccine. If someone nearby is showing flu like symptoms I vacate the premises.
Thanks for the video. Given the level of misinformation out there it was great to see you cite research and provide actual stats. Despite that, I can guess what your comments will be like so I'll stay away from them for my sanity.
For me I'm much more excited about the mRNA vaccines use in cancer treatments.
another person sucked in by the threats and hysteria to take this dangerous experimental jab........taking comfort from Dr Brads absolute lack of research and ignorance on the subject.......i get it.
@@dnimon936 Evidently you don't get it. I've had vaccines since I was a kid.
@@ellydavis2066 so have i and willingly, there's a reason why mass vaccines have to wait 5 years and present solid short, medium and preferably long term data before they get approved and that's too prevent disasters like thalidomide and this vaccine which did not go through that process
@@dnimon936 Absolutely. All vaccines have to go through testing, not just "mass vaccines" before being approved.
LOL at anyone who uses "misinformation" non-ironically
Wow, you weren't kidding about the comments section. Lot of examples of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
Disheartening isn’t it
Thank God people in my country aren't like this. I'm forwarding this video (and it's contents below) to people to prove my point on american hysteria.
@@bbybeatboxx ad hominem…another fancy word.
oh yeah right....there are tens of thousands of articles and studies by the worlds best describing the horror of this experiment.......... i have read more than 1000 myself over the past 3 years, but you got the shots without bothering to get both sides of the story.........so your only recourse is to stay ignorant of the research with a glib dunning kruger reference. Try" investment theory" (look it up).........that perfectly explains your position.
Integrity in the face on spammy comments, thank you Brad
lol you are not even bright enough to understand what spam is.......... needless to say you got the shots
Je vous plains, bonne route
well done!!!!! Thanks again for sharing your thought process with us so we can make an informed decision. There is a lot of misinformation out there.
It seems so wild to me how many anti-vaxxers seem to be in this community. I would've thought that this kind of content attracts people who are generally not inclined that way. After all this topic does not generate the same controversy on every RUclips channel.
It's also pretty interesting how Covid made stories of people getting sick from other vaccines so common, before Covid I can't imagine that a video like this would've created nearly as much controversy and gotten as many stories about other vaccines in the replies. Many individual stories may be perfectly true but they have certainly increased and become way more amplified through Covid.
It is very sad when a doctor has trepidation about advocating safe, effective, and life saving medicine.
@@redpilled9595i did and im tnr only in my family who ddin’t get covid
Firstly, happy you are speaking fearlessly your decision on a charged topic. AND... what is the safety profile and detoxification capacity of the required adjuvant? What adjuvant is used? Why is it not talked about. An adjuvant is something that causes an immune response, and therfore MUST be inflammatory aka, harmful. Thanks
Poly ethylene glycol (plastic) is the adjuvant + delivery system of the covid vaccines. Fuses with cell membranes to deliver product. Great place to put plastic. 👍
Thank you for sharing. We need more scientists like you.....brave enough to speak up and face the backlash you will probably get. Hopefully, with time social media will stop being so easily offended.
I may be wrong, but he may have been talking about Dr. John Campbell. If so, I wouldn't dismiss what he is saying, and assume his content is about maintaining his fame and not about science.
Strawman
So are you saying that if you weren't a practicing GP, seeing patients, you wouldn't get vaccinated?
But if they vaccinated and it works why take it
I think there needs to be a fair and open discussion from both sides regarding the pros and cons of the vaccines. Brad seems to be doing this.
There are too many people screaming either "sheeple" or "antivaxer" at each other.
People aren't in a position to evaluate the discussion because they have no training in medicine, statistics, or immunology.
Great video Brad! Solid and well researched! Keep up the good work. Sending lots of love from Australia 😀
I recommend checking out dr john campbell, Dr Phillip macmillan, I am putting this channel on do not recommend
"I'm too afraid of the truth and hearing opposing opinions! I ONLY want to hear opinions I already agree with, I want an echo chamber around me at all times!" You're exactly the type conspiracy theorist snake oil salesmen like.
I agree with your logic. The only criticism I would have is that those studies are old and COVID is a completely different infection than previous. As the virus has evolved it has be come much less virulent and the benefits of vaccination have decreased significantly. Today I believe the benefit to risk:ratio is more at question today, then when those studies were published. We need new studies, but by the time they are done (and they are not being done in a good randomized controlled method) you have lost the window of benefit. Pfizer is less risk of myocarditis than Moderna for sure. I’m curious if the hospital you work at requires vaccination? Why are they not developing a vaccine like influenza? I think there are some unknown risks to mRNA vaccines since it is so new
Well this is a good way to cull the crazies from your channel...
@@bbybeatboxx 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 check their sources! by that you mean seeking out someone that is saying what you want to believe and ignoring the huge body of evidence to the contrary.
Lmao you don't check sources. You are scared and believe any conspiracy theorist who makes you feel safe.@@bbybeatboxx
I appreciate you standing for what you believe is true and providing proof for it even if you know a lot of people will dislike you for it. This shows strength of character.
taking advice from the world health organisation lmaooo come on
D'oh!
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger!
Thanks for doing this Brad, going by the comments you've clearly lost subscribers to it which is a shock to me. Just like the resveratrol issue, you stick with the science even when it's unpopular and it's appreciated
@@bbybeatboxx I won't try to convince you, but I'm certified by the Cochrane Institute in systematic review of scientific literature, have scientific degrees from top 100 universities, have spent years working full time in health research and I did indeed do a pretty thorough look into this topic at one point. With respect, I seem to have come to a very different conclusion to your own
naaa it's just the russian bots going crazy
nope, he hasnt studied any of the work by the top experts in the field like Dr McCullough, malone, van den bossche etc etc etc etc. He only cites a couple of low grade studies funded by the gates foundation, the cdc and who..........that's not science its sloppy, uninformed and actually dangerous,.......but then you obviously got the shots so you feel comforted by this.
Great objective avoidance based information! And, from a very wise doctor.
This was very helpful.
Thank you so much!!!
👍👍👍👍 🧡
@@bbybeatboxx I see your point...
The information we have is not perfect, but it's the best we have.
Be careful when you follow influencers that promote conspiracy theories to get popularity.
@@bbybeatboxx what's "the jag "?
Wow, you sound a lot more genuine when you go off script. You should try doing some more unscripted stuff.
I was thinking the same thing.
The information we have is not perfect, but it's the best we have.
Thank you Dr. Stanfield for bringing it to us! 🧡
👍

Lol. Science really isn't science any more.
Dr. Brad: Thank you for your continued integrity and stand of the SCIENTIFIC METHOD - so many of the modern miracles that have uplifted humanity have come from it! Sadly, the 'Information Age' seems to have been slowly chipping away at peoples faith in the process (and institutions)... largely because they are uneducated about what science is, and the rigorous standards our institutions must go through. Skepticism is appreciated both IN the scientific community, and has certainly revealed fraud and mistakes from outside, too - so I see it as welcome.
It's sad that many folks have given up critical thought, just to join an online mob mentality. Likewise sad to see brilliant health professionals also spiral into conspiracy theories (I got so much from Dr. Mercola for decades, but can hardly listen to him anymore).
Thanks so much for walking the fine line between the (out-of-date, abysmal) modern doctor viewpoints, and the "cutting-edge". I appreciate your continued diligence to carefully review all sides to make your own (educated) views - and I'm sure that most of your audience does, too. Honestly, the best way to shift the global narrative is to keep doing what you are doing: standing in your truth. As Gandhi said: "Be the change you wish to see in the world".
PS - IMHO, you come across *much* better off-script. Much more authentic.
You obviously gave up 'critical thought' when you posted your comment.
