“The vaccine should be tested on politicians first.
If they survive, the vaccine is safe.
If they don’t, then the country is safe.”
- Monika Wisniewska
……….
All the doctors I know (including myself) have had the vaccine. The absolute benefit of continuing to get boosters is small for people under age 50 (esp if they've already had COVID) but the booster makes a big difference as people get older, esp over age 75.
@@BetterHealthWhileAging Look at Ivermectin.
@@BetterHealthWhileAging And the excess deaths???
@@Sunfun64670 🤣
But there have been several studies, including one in a London hospital showing that masks, even N95 don't make any difference.
And what about the excess deaths? Heart attacks and strokes even in young people.
Having had covid for Christmas, I determined I was totally correct to just ignore it entirely. I was just fine, with only one day of actually feeling ill, and then a week of coughing up the remnants. Age 62, healthy and active.
Not everyone has the same outcome and you can't point to the old narrative that only elderly, at-risk, unhealthy people are terribly effected. Many young, healthy, athletic people have had terrible outcomes with a Covid infection, and are still suffering with Long Covid. Also, the more infections one has, the higher risk for complications and Long Covid. More infections does not mean higher immunity!
Thanks for keeping us informed about what is going on with this and all the other info you provide.
You're very welcome!
Thank you so much for this update. As a daughter of an aging parent, your presentations have been very valuable to me.
You're very welcome!
Many Thanks Dr! Your sharings are always detailed, data driven & thoughtful addressing all my doubts being a 62 yrold w parents at 87 & 90 - Very Grateful - please keep up the professional & mindful effort! 🎯🌷❤
Wonderful! You're very welcome.
Dr. Kary Mullis said his tests are not accurate and not used properly. VAERS.
The hardest thing I have ever tried to do is trying to convince my mom who is now age 91 after a pharmacist did a terrible job of giving her a flu vaccine before any vaccine was invented for COVID-19 that she maybe wasn't allergic to all vaccines most of all to COVID-19 while there was some tradesmen, some football players, some priests etc. too all who seemed more frightented by COVID-19 vaccines than COVID-19 itself. Maybe only because lack of scientific knowledge on how to interpret information on how they were researched during development and it triggered some of their deep insecirities. That is why she got COVID-19 twice both times far worse cases than what I maybe went through too. The first time I may have got SARS or COVID-19 myself was before any vaccine for it was avaliable and it was horrible. However because I didn't have to be looking after other family members with it too at the time while my mother was already in a nursing home by then I managed well enough on my own with already a chronic lung problem which got better instead of worse because I was already being treated for it finally. Along with getting my vaccines up to date I insist on wearing an N95 mask outdoors whenever the air quality outside is poor or whenever public health officials recommend it.
Hi Doctor, I just recently subscribed. I have only watched a few videos so far and have found them to be very informative. Thank you for taking the time to create the slides and include so much detail. I have a question about "at-risk" conditions. My wife and I are 72 years old, and to our knowledge, have not had Covid. We are vaccinated and have worn masks in crowds. My wife has Mitral Valve Prolapse. Is this considered an "at-risk" condition and if so, to what degree?
Agree
BS
You just said that younger people might consider taking the vaccine to protect people more vulnerable. The pharmaceutical companies have finally admitted they did say this but did no testing. There is no science for this claim and in fact puts the younger person at risk without cause. Please-listen to some Dr’s that have different opinions than yours. Robert Kennedy has very good scientific reports that if you get past your bias, I think you’d learn. Anyone with an audience has the responsibility to stay informed or quit talking.
Agree
Disagree.
@@d-p_ You can disagree, but it is a fact that with minimal effort on your part can be verified. To stay ignorant can prove to be detrimental to your own health. It’s hard for me to understand how your ego-or whatever motivated you to not follow the true and abundant sources, is more important to you than your life. Covid vaccines are not beneficial and very well could harm you. Like so many. Freedom is most important, so carry on.
@@stephanie26160 Sure, but you are wrong.
@@d-p_
I expected nothing less.:)
Also, google “syncytia” and Covid. It’s not good
