As a retired soldier, if we could tag our soldiers with microscopic chips to find them, we would have done it. If we can't tag soldiers, why would the medical profession be interested in tagging you?
My autistic son watched this with me when I was relaxing after work last week. My son; "...and they call me the dumb one? Wait... so if I already have autism... and I get a vaccine... do I get skill points?" I about fell out of my chair. Thanks for the good memories man. Keep up the good work.
I think the point his is making, is that fart particles are much larger than viral ones, so if they don't filter poo stink, how are they filtering smaller things?
Hey dave! As an engineering student, I can confirm that whoever says that a syringe has a microchip on the end is full of shit. It's mostly to do with how transistors work and how small they are today. You may know this, but I am only saying it for the sake of clarity. The simple fact is that transistors are already so small that they are subject to quantum tunnelling. And these microchips that we use for our electronics, while quite small, are nowhere small enough for the syringe. It is nearly impossible for them to be any smaller.
Not only that, but the electronics would also need power, which means at least a battery, which means even more volume making it even more impossible. But people would probably say that the microchips are powered by 5G shenanigans, without even knowing that those waves cannot penetrate human skin (fellow engineer here)
Tbh it would be a fun engineering design challenge to think of how you *could* make a micro scale powered chip like that. Pretty sure it’s never been done. Maybe with MEMS and a graphene antenna or sth.
@@giacal8278 For the power, maybe we could have a microfabricated biofuel cell that reacts with glucose in the bloodstream to generate continuous electricity. But then you'd need an energy storage mechanism because an antenna can require lots of power relatively speaking, maybe using a microfluidics array. And obviously space as radio waves require at least a few centimetres of coiled up antenna wire. Maybe wound graphene nanoribbons. But then blood is conductive so radio waves would be rapidly attenuated and probably blocked entirely by the skin anyway. And this is all without accounting for the many, many extra design challenges of in vivo biomedical devices, and it all has to be smaller than half a millimetre and not cause any noticeable side effects at all, without any public widespread testing to see if it would work at all. So yeah, extremely infeasible and probably impossible entirely.
As a parent of a child with Autism, I'm grateful for your simple explanation of the "vaccine causes autism" I'd read up on it upon my son's diagnosis, as people were telling me I'd caused his autism by vaccinating him. The problem is the signs of autism start to appear around the same time certain immunizations are due. It really is sad we have access to more information than ever before, but are too stupid to know what to do with it.
@@iadhdki9535 As someone with autism, you are wrong. Autism is not something that can be reversed, nor would you want to reverse it. It is a genetic condition that alters the structure and pathways of the brain. Nothing you do will cause or stop the presentation of autism. The reason the symptoms seem to get less with age is that autistic people learn to mask their traits in order to avoid rejection by society. You probably know people with autism and have no idea. As a society we need to stop the stigmatization of autism and other neurodivergent conditions and accept people for who they are.
@@iadhdki9535 You CANNOT 'reverse autism', no matter what you do, be it dieting or 'heavy metal detox', because it's GENETIC in nature, that is 'caused by variation in the genes of our body', and thus mostly hereditary, so you cannot do anything about it, only adapt to the way your brain is wired. And I say it as an autistic adult myself. Please, for the love of common sense and all actual science and medicine based on approved research, get your facts straight, do your own research and stop torturing kids with pseudoscience.
As an autistic person, I can say with certainty that my condition and vaccines are not correlated, and the fact that parents would rather have children dying from measles than have autistic children is delusional.
The only (sad) problem with videos like this is that no matter how much care, dedication, research and effort that is put into them, the ones who are listening aren't the ones who need to hear it the most. Those who would actually benefit from this information will just pull out the requisite "ur bad, science bad, me smarter science man because Facebook tell me magic crystal heal disease, so vaccine poison" card, and ignore any actual evidence. That said, even if they never reach those who need it most, I personally still love your videos. Keep em coming, Prof.!
Maybe the ones who need to see it won't, but these videos give solid arguments to people who may be dealing with a loved one who's buying into antivax conspiracies.
The reason for that is because of how conspiracy theories work. By definition a conspiracy theory cannot be falsified. Therefore, it is impossible to prove a conspiracy theory wrong. You can provide evidence to suggest their outcome is very unlikely, but you really cannot prove them, out right wrong. The same actually applies to a scientific theory. Scientific theories forbid certain elements or aspects. As a result, when scientists conduct research, they aren't trying to support their theory. Let me give you a prime example of what I mean from the one and only James Randy. Imagine that you believe in Santa Claus and we are having a discussion about his existence. You ask me to prove that he doesn't exist. I take you up on that and fly to the North Pole. I look high and low, however, he isn't there. No lapland, no elves, no rain deer and no Santa. I record my observations and come to the conclusion that he is not real. I come back and present you with the evidence supporting the idea that he doesn't exist. Your response is, "well Santa is magic, he simply turned himself and Lapland invisible upon your arrival." That doesn't mean that's what actually happened. But, I can't prove that he didn't just turn invisible. In other words, conspiracies are based on confirmation bias. An individual who believes in a conspiracy theory wants it to be true. They will twist and bend evidence to suit their narrative. If you try to prove a scientific theory by looking for proof of your theory, you run the risk of doing the same. That's why criminal investigations are based purely on the evidence. In reality, criminal investigators will not make up stories based on evidence they will just look at evidence from a surface level. This is because, they run the risk of bending the narrative if they don't. Conspiracy nuts that see this video will make their own explanations for why their view is correct and adhere to confirmation bias.
I think occasionally a person who is slipping into the conspiracy theory might find this and have their minds changed. That's all you can hope for. If you're lucky they will go on to help change other people's minds. I can't see any negatives to trying to educate people about these issues. I think it justifies the work PDE put in to create it and is performing a public service by providing accurate information as a counterpoint to the deluge of ignorance on social media.
as an autistic adult, thank you professor dave for making videos like this! it’s so frustrating seeing people think that my neurotype is such a terrible thing that they would negate protecting their children from diseases to try and avoid it.
@@thejarjosh Thats just your personal experience, it does not extrapolate to anyone (hell, its not even that normal). For contrast, i know someone who didnt want to use masks and had the chance to get vaccinated by covid but didnt bc "vaccines bad". A week or so he got covid, and died painfully without the chance to calm his pain other than putting him to sleep. LOL its all about the anti-vax / anti-mask propaganda.
@@thejarjosh I didnt intend for what i said to be true. Just a representation thats the contrary to what you say. You said that you know someone who does not use mask nor vaccinate, and its the healthiest person you've ever met. I told you i know someone who does not use mask nor vaccinate, yet he died in agony bc of not taking the corresponding measures. Both are personal experiences (mine being an hypothetical one), saying the opposite but arguing the same way "i know this guy that does x and hes x". Yet, you say that yours is true bc yes and mine is not bc its a lie and because big pharma. This does not make sense. Stop for a moment and think about it. Think of what you'd answer me, and put it the other way but throw the same non-fundamented arguments. Why would either one be true or not? what does determine it? What you have there is a big big bias dude.
Good video, I also like professor Delores Cahill s videos, and many other doctors and scientists that have different, understanding and views. And with non ionising technology I find the scientists and researchers, that know and have experience in that field ✌️. And the ukcolumn.org team to learn about propaganda 😁
@@TheHayleydavison If you like this video then there's no way you can also like anything Cahill has to say. She sits squarely alongside Kaufman and Wakefield and her opinions stand against all that Dave covers in this video.
@@frankwilson3265 I like to listen to other views and perspectives and see how they convince others or see their facts and references and then I investigate further their facts and references. It's all quite interesting 🙏 there isn't just one or two professors and scientists in one country with one view. There are hundreds of professors, scientists,in many countries,with many different research papers, many different research institutions. To teach is not to show one side of the coin, it's to offer a coin to the student to look at both sides of the coin 😉 or to particularly have some kind of naming names slagging match is just personal and egotistical,not educational 🙏
@@TheHayleydavison I agree with that, but not where the debates around the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic are concerned. Sometimes the scientific community is split down the middle on something. Then I am more than happy to listen to both sides of the argument. Sometimes the scientific community are split over several different views, with each fairly well represented and usually with common ground shared among them. Then I'm very interested in all of those views and look to see where each has merit. But neither of those things are the case with the current "debate". What we have is 99%+ of the scientific community being of one opinion and a fringe factor with opposing views. The likes of Boschee, Cahill, Sunetra Gupta, Coleman etc. When these people come on the radar of COVID-Deniers, lockdown protestors etc, they are instantly elevated within the movement and presented as the "side" of the argument. If on the other hand a scientist's view forms part of consensus view, the vast, vast majority are simply unheard of because what they have to say is unremarkable and therefore there is no-one pointing to them excitedly saying "Listen to what this person has to say". This does not form a debate where views are represented in the ratios in which they are held. All it does is create false equivalence.
I don't know if you realize how impactful content like this is, but my s/o had major vaccine hesitancy. I showed them this video and it definitely quelled a lot of those fears they had. So thank you for this.
I think vaccine hesitancy is a good thing. Vaccine paranoia is a problem however. Vaccines like any medicine aren’t inherently side effect free and the chief principle of both medicine is benefit vs harm. For instance, we’re not getting vaccinated for cholera bc the benefit is too little compared to the potential harm. It’s not just good but necessary to view things through the lens of benefit-harm weighing. I think it’s a misconception that skepticism is a bad or unscientific thing, it’s a fundamental in performing science on the contrary. Only ideas that can hold their own past skepticism survive which is also why vaccines have survived. The problems arise when people behave irrationally through paranoia and hysteria, not when people are skeptical.
@@ExternusArmy I don't think anyone is saying all skepticism and all hesitance are negative. They where hesitant to get a vaccine that was and is proven safe and effective. Hence, vaccine hesitancy. Vaccine paranoia is a different animal altogether, like you said. But largely irrelevant to what I was stating above.
@@ExternusArmy and to be clear, we where both skeptical of the vaccine, until evidence suggested it was safe and effective. The science won me over but my s/o just needed a little extra push, which is why I praised this video.
@@ExternusArmy I think your take on skepticism is off by a fair margin. I agree almost completely otherwise. There is a difference between skepticism and mistrust. And a lot of what is considered skepticism is actually distrust. (I think there is a better word, will update is I remember it later). They can look a lot like each other.
@@RealAlphaMango It's not worth it man, you can't convince people like this guy of anything that is supported by copious amounts of valid scientific literature.
Indeed, a good recent example is Thunderf00t's video on SpaceX. In an attempt to try to show that "SpaceX isn't all that great", he examines the NASA paper "The Recent Large Reduction in Space Launch Cost" from 2018 which compares the cost to launch the now retired Space Shuttle versus a modern Falcon 9. In the video, everything points towards SpaceX being cheaper than the Shuttle and in the end, it is a meandering video with a lot of speculation which doesn't really prove any particular point. Yet the takeaway for some of his viewers is "wow... I never knew SpaceX was so bad!" because they are pre-disposed to thinking Thunderf00t is a reliable, unbiased source. I think this recent video has proven that otherwise.
The anti-vaccine nonsense is not skepticism. Skeptical thinking involves looking at the data and forming a rational conclusion. These folks are conspiracy theorists, which is a different animal altogether.
These people don't practice skepticism. Paranoia and skepticism are not the same thing. Paranoia involves cherry-picking information that conforms to their existing cognitive bias (in order to feel like they've broken through the fog, cracked some kind of code and figured out who the shadowy figures are... when in reality they'res still deep within a fog of ignorance.)
@@atom6_ I wouldn't like to throw myself in with the diehard fans, but seems he's done the same thing again and ignored everything that contradicts him?
@@jericho6231 not sure if your response was supposed to be ironic, sarcastic or something in between, but Dave puts forward a much more compelling argument backed up with easily researched facts than the meme photo your friend Gary with 1 ex wife, 2 kids who call another man “dad” and a glittering career as a “lifestyle blogger/truth seeker” posted onto his Facebook page.
i found this channel called spirit science... it’s so insane i wouldn’t be recommending it for a video... except it has over a million subscribers and they’re probably the most bat shit crazy theories i’ve ever heard
I have given up trying to explain the computer/passport tracking nonsense with my son. But I am worried because he and his girlfriend lean toward no vaccines at all for their child. It's very frustrating. I grew up in the polio era and understand the importance of vaccines, not to mention correct research.
A lot of people who distrust science in some ways don't distrust it because of some 'alternative fact' but because of how it makes them feel: in control. Perhaps if you restructured what you were saying around helping your son feel in control, it might help you reach some common ground?
Thanks for all the great info. I do think leaving out the lack of culpability for vaccine manufacturers is a problem as well as the long history of pharmaceutical companies settling lawsuits for false claims and misrepresentation without a single CEO ever going to jail.
I too agree that vaccine makers should never have been granted blanket immunity against lawsuits (by President Reagan in 1986). Though we vaccinated our daughter in late 90's (with no injuries), my views changed in 2015 when my healthy 7mo old dog died within hours of her 7-in-1 jab. I now dread all needles. I would rather take risk in getting the actual infection/disease naturally and allow our immune system to fight it off organically. My three remaining dogs haven't been to a vet in 8yrs. I pay attention to what I feed them (no processed crap). I am of the firm belief that man will never really be able to fully understand the immune system (because our bodies behave in highly complex ways once we breach the closed-loop system to study the process). I am not anti-science; but I am definitely anti-$cience, funded solely by profiteering mobs of Wall Street. I hope to one day start trusting science without fearing it. At the moment, I am s#it scared of all synthetic drugs and invasive procedures. If I get seriously injured in an accident, I may not have any other choice.
Can we discuss the reason why vaccine manufacturers are indemnified by western governments against law suits from individuals who suffer adverse reactions? Can we discuss why the vaccine manufacturers opted to not supply vaccines (protecting against this indescribably dangerous disease) to developing countries who's own governments would not provide an indemnity?
@@mfctrv2139 It’s certainly true that the vaccine and medicine industry is still an industry, and the big companies will still do anything they can to make money. But that doesn’t take away from how important vaccines are today, since if you didn’t have them you would probably die of a disease you can’t pronounce the name of.
@@jonathansilvestri7648 youre not as clever as you think you are if you dont realise the above is a joke mimicking what anti vaxxers say You think a guy like Dave would have barely passed biology? LOL
Agreed. I guess watching Dave figuratively kick the living sh*t out of flat earthers IS more entertaining, which would explain why those have 1,200,000 plus views.
In regards to Wakefield you missed a couple of points in that a trial at the UK supreme Court found him guilty of kidnapping, fraud and conducting unauthorised tests on children and the UK has been trying to get him back from the US with no luck, btw the trial was done in his absence because by then he had already fled, he also has a massive list of ethical charges against him, though I don't blame you for letting that point go as it is so large that it would be a whole documentary on its own
There needs to be. The only ones I see specifically about him either take his side or none, in spite of the blatant evidence against him. This man should have been jailed years ago.
@@berniethekiwidragon4382 I wonder how much of a hero someone would be if they could think up a way to get his sorry ass back to the UK... By whatever means necessary. I personally can't think of any methods to achieve that, but there must be some out there. Maybe someone could just ask him to go back... 🤣🤣🤣
@@berniethekiwidragon4382 Old comment, I know, but you might be interested in hbomberguy's "vaccines - a measured response" video essay. It went into great detail about Wakefield's fraudulent paper, his actions regarding the children in the study, and the conflicts of financial interest that were likely the driving force behind the paper. Also, hbomb is pretty engaging :)
As someone with autism(asperger syndrome) I'm extremely tired of these cons treating me as a science experiment gone wrong and that me being autistic is the worst fate imaginable. They seriously act like we are dying from a horrific disease, and not real people with feelings who can have a great life just like anyone else. Even IF a vax caused my autism (it didn't) I'd still take autism over having died as a child from smallpox, polio, or measles. Rock on. 🤙Also, do I get more autistic if I get more vaccines?
Hey Dave, long time viewer. I know this won't get a reply since I'm not some insane rambling idiot, but I appreciate you man. Every video of yours, I see you taking time out of your day and interacting with comments for videos over a year old. Gotta love your dedication to calling out stupidity and pushing critical thinking. Hope your weekend is good man
Was just watching an old episode of Law & Order: SVU that dealt with vaccinations. What stood out to me as odd was that the Irish Catholic Conservative Detective Stabler was supporting mandated vaccines and the Liberal Democrat Detectives Benson and Munch were arguing against mandates and how it should be up to the individual to decide. Oh how times have changed. The episode wasn't even really that old (2008).
I was never anti-vaxxer. I got the COVID vaccine without fear but I still learned many things in this video. Very instuctive and easy to understand (which is important for such a subject). I was unaware of the origins of the mercury myth and the NaCl example was an excellent way to explain how the presence of a mercury atom in a compound does not equal a mercury atom by itself. I did not know that but I'm glad I do now. I immensely appreciate your work and by tackling subjects like these, you are doing the world a great service by fighting against misinformstion. Respect!
Great presentation. I am someone who is vaccine hesitant. A lot of this stems from lapses in objectivity and critical thinking from the medical community and media. For instance, the first thing I did when presented with the idea that there could be a problem with the current vaccine schedule given to children was to ask my general practitioner: hey doc, could there be anything wrong with the current vaccine schedule, in theory? Without hesitating to even consider my question he said no. That is not a reasonable or scientific answer and it unnerved me. I saw it for what it was. Advocacy mixed with annoyance at what he sees as anti-science. He was doing his part to combat the "stupidity." But the entire conversation around this issue is full of people telling other people who have questions to shut up and stop being morons. People making videos like this would do better not to paint skeptics or questioners as morons and should not use a mocking tone. Questioning and skepticism are essential parts of a scientific process and worldview. They should never be suppressed. This has only gotten worse with Covid. The mainstream media's mandate to correct for what they see as the stupid anti-vax movement has ruined their objectivity and tainted their judgement. A recent episode of Fresh Air with Terry Gross illustrates this. She was interviewing a person billed as a vaccine expert. In the intro she noted that his child has autism. And yet he is an advocate for vaccines for children. Supposedly this was proof of his intellectual honesty. What she didn't mention until a ways into the interview, before quickly sweeping past it, was that he was an owner in a company working very hard to bring a covid vaccine to market. He was completely incentivized to be pro-vaccine. Not only did Gross not think this would make him an inappropriate subject on the matter, she didn't even seem to acknowledge the apparent conflict of interest. And on and on. My questions about this video: When he says in passing that the link between vaccines and autism were disproven, what does that mean? What do you say to the theory that vaccines might not contain a dangerous level of metal in their doses alone but that some people may already have high metal levels in their body from their environment and other factors and a vaccine could push them over the threshold into toxicity? Is it valid to be concerned that mnra vaccines, while they are not a new technology, are being administered to the public for the first time? Isn't it a scientific approach to be cautious about potential long-term effects? Is there anything wrong with the fact that we are vaccinating the control groups, i.e. erasing the controls? What does proper vaccine testing in clinical trials even mean? If the mrna technology was so airtight long before covid, why wasn't it used to combat other infectious diseases worldwide? What about the broader issue that we could create a culture where showing vaccine compliance becomes mandatory for participation in society? The current covid vaccines may be acceptable in theory but there is no way to postulate about future vaccines since they don't exist. I personally find it disturbing to imagine having to get regular injections for the rest of my life. The conversation around questioning the current batch of vaccines has been too strong-handed for my taste. And I know this is as good as it's going to get since this is the first pandemic in the current era. I have to imagine that if regular injections become a new normal, it will become impossible to question in any meaningful way every new vaccine by every new company that is rolled out. This is problematic for me. This video illustrates many of the principles and consistent factors at play in the vaccine discussion but only when they support a conclusion of vaccines being an overwhelmingly positive technology. This video does not, however, talk about other constants throughout history, including government mishandling of medical technology and a consistent m.o. of choosing to apologize (when caught) rather than ask permission (thalidomide, agent orange, nuclear weapons testing both underground on U.S. soil and in the stratosphere, meddling in the affairs of other sovereign countries).
Let's respond to some of your questions: 1) link between autism and vaccines disproven: it is. Simple. Large-scale studies on the population have shown there is no increase in the rate of autism in vaccinated vs unvaccinated individuals. 2) the amount of metal (ions) in vaccines is so low that if this were the last drop it would be dwarfed by the many other "last drops" 3) mRNA vaccines have been used in clinical trials before, with good success. We already have background levels for lots and lots of different conditions from years/decades of data, so it is not really a concern we are 'erasing' the controls, because, again, we already have that control data. We already know the general levels of, say, blood clots 4) don't know what you mean with this one 5) This is easily answered: it is expensive technology. You would only use it for severe infectious diseases which (sadly, I might say) are very prevalent in developed countries. Another obvious issue is that we already have vaccines for many infectious diseases, so just making an mRNA-based vaccine would require it to be a lot better than the old vaccines, as the former is so much more expensive than the latter, at least for now. 6) We already have such a culture for many other things. Walking around naked is in the vast majority of places culturally not acceptable. It is often even *mandatory* to wear clothes. The gliding scale you propose is in itself a gliding scale.
@@Marco-it2mr Thanks for the reply. Regarding #1, that doesn't sound like proof in any meaningful way. A really scientific study has controls. What would be the control factor there? This is the problem with this issue, there is no ethical way to study it or create controls for vaccine trials. Also - and I don't want this to sound too harsh - but it's obnoxious that you wrote "simple." It's not, in fact, simple. Regarding #3, I'm not sure how far back the trials go that you're referring to but I think it's safe to say that they don't go far enough back to show long-term results. So even if your point stands that the clinical trials for previous uses of mrna technology had preserved their controls, it's still not long term. But that doesn't speak to the current covid vaccines, for which there is both no long term data and for which the control group is currently being erased. Regarding #4, I just don't understand the reasoning behind the studies. Normal scientific studies control for as many variables as possible. Whereas with these vaccine trials, people are either administered a vaccine or a placebo and then asked to go about their lives and see who catches covid. The participants control their exposure, not the people running the experiment. I would assume that many of the people who signed up for the vaccine trials were people with an already high level of anxiety about catching Covid, meaning they would be lowering exposure already. Maybe if the sample sizes are large enough, variables like this don't matter as much. But it just doesn't feel very objective to me. Regarding #6, I realize that living in a society requires compromise. And that there is no absolute freedom for anyone. Totally on board with that. But I think we should be concerned with establishing a new paradigm because new paradigms are very hard to turn back. Think of something like income tax, for instance. It was created in 1909. Many people assume it is an idea that goes back to the founding of this country and they also assume that it's always been this way and is beyond questioning. I don't have an opinion on income tax, I'm just pointing out that there is an inertia to reversing large social systems once they've been implemented. Every year people complain about Daylight Savings Time. Nobody has changed it. Every election people complain about the Electoral College System. Nobody changes it. I feel like we are on the verge of creating a culture of permanent forced injections and it is worrisome to me.
@@danieljohnson1213 1) the controls are non-vaccinated people. They exist and in far larger numbers than you would think. It is, thus, simple. 3) there are studies from the early 2010s. But again, we can compare the current COVID-vaccinated population to the "averages" we know from the recent 'past' (which could be as late as 2019). 4) So, your suggestion would be to deliberately expose these people to the virus...which is unethical! Remember that the people themselves do not know whether they received the vaccine or the placebo, so both groups are very likely to behave similar, even if it is "similar" in their attempts to not get infected. 6) You are comparing, for lack of a better term, "peer pressure" to vaccinate to LAWS.
@@danieljohnson1213 _there is no ethical way to study it or create controls for vaccine trials_ What? Double blind clinical studies for vaccines do exist and they were applied for the COVID ones. A very close friend of mine participated in the ones for Pfizer. He didn't know if he got the vaccine or a placebo for almost a year. Your fears are just based on misinformation.
@@Marco-it2mr 1) Those are just people in society, not participants in a study. Is that a meaningful control? Wouldn't a control be to get a fixed group of participants and then, while controlling variables such as environment, apply vaccines to some and not to others? Obviously it would be unethical to do this because what we are testing for is potential harm by either option. Also, where is there a significant population of non-vaccinated children in the west? Even if individual numbers of non-vaccinated children add up, I would imagine they are still scattered around with too much dissimilarity between environments. Anyway, I don't want to come off as too argumentative. I'm genuinely curious about how these studies were administered and why they are considered conclusive proof. 3) That's not long term though 4) No, I'm saying that you can't do that, because it would be unethical for the same reasons that you can't study the effects of vaccines on children in an controlled environment. That's my hangup understanding how these studies prove anything by strict scientific standards. I take your point that they would all behave essentially the same in theory. 6) I'm speaking of something more substantial than peer pressure. A culture where there are penalties for not being vaccinated. You can't fly. You can't go to gyms. You don't get promoted at work. This isn't far fetched. I've already heard two stories from friends who were heavily pressured by their work supervisors to get the vaccine.
Hey Professor, I really love your videos and your way of explaining complex subjects in a way the public understands them. I just would like to add about the myocarditis problem of Moderna vaccines, since I was personally affected by it. I'm with you, that vaccines do have side effects, but the benefits outweigh them by far. But I still think we should talk about the side effects and not deny their existence, this only hurts those affected and gives the wackjobs a talking point. So here goes my personal story, read if you want :) I got my second shot of the Moderna vaccine after receiving AstraZeneca for the first. After two days I started having chest pain and my left arm went partially numb. In the hospital blood tests showed a highly elevated troponin level, indicating damage to my heart muscle. The levels went down after 2 days and I did not experience any severe longterm damage, but still experience chest pain when exercising and in stressful situations due to scarring. I don't like to talk about it to friends and colleagues because most either think I'm a antiscience idiot or I find out that they are.
I send all of my medical students to your channel for basic science review. But I have to say...If you can sum up all the disinformation you've heard about vaccines in a 30 minute video, you haven't heard very many or you deserve a Nobel prize. :)
I was born much too late to have been vaccinated for Smallpox. I will still get emotional any time that I hear someone talk about it in the past tense, it really shows what humanity can do when we decide to work together on something. I hope that we can get that sort of attitude for Climate Change and truly universal health care sooner rather than later.
Outstanding. You’ve made a complex topic crystal clear for me anyway. And I’ve been looking for a video like this so I can both get a better understanding of vaccines for myself and hopefully to share with others. I’ve had both my COVID vaccines and I’m extremely grateful for this. Thanks
Well maybe listen to presidential candidate Kennedy who says the vaccine against Covid did not work and is not safe. They are more dangerous than getting Covid.
27:16 18 million people in my ex country were vaccinated in 1972, when there were much less educated people. Ofcourse, today we have much higher percentage of educated people, yet more than 50% refuse to get vaccinated against covid. What is wrong with people?
In some people, a little bit of education gives them all the confidence they need to believe in what they want. When you have no education, you are probably aware of it, and would therfore be more likely to listen to someone who is educated.
My understanding is that the "gut feeling" that vaccines caused autism was due in large part to the temporal proximity of vaccinations and the onset of recognizeable autism symptoms. From what I understand about autism, children don't start exhibiting obvious signs of autism until they about 2-3 years old. This is when they start walking, talking, and performing other motor and intellectual tasks that autistic children have trouble learning. The administration of some of the major childhood vaccinations (such as polio, TDAP boosters, and hepatitis) are done during this same time period. So parents would get the vaccines, then in the following months, start noticing that their child is is having trouble learning to walk, talk, etc., and since the vaccination was a "major medical procedure" that happened recently, they assume the two are linked. When in reality, the child was already autistic (from birth), and would have started developing noticeable symptoms at that time regardless of vaccinations.
I really appreciate the concise point by point way you explain the different aspects of what has needlessly become a controversial topic. My own personal experience has made me a vaccine advocate. When I was young there was a very real chance of catching one of the highly contagious diseases that had killed people for centuries. One of my friends had polio, another diphtheria and both of my parents had tuberculosis. Thus we regarded vaccines as a blessing and got our jabs in school. Out of the hundreds I knew who got multiple vaccinations over the years none suffered any serious side effects and these deadly diseases have been largely wiped out. I also find it ironic that anti-vaxers use technology developed through science to denigrate science while having no knowledge about science.
7:59 My brother almost died of appendicitis, and I would LOVE to have that man look my brother in the eye and try to tell him that he was just constipated.
When my mother was pregnant with me she became sick with Rubella. She worked in a hospital so thankfully got a vaccination beforehand. It was before the days of booster shots. I was born with scars in my left retina and pituitary gland. Had she not taken that vaccine I would have been born completely blind and brain damaged. Had the booster existed I would likely have had no damage at all. I am such a good example of the difference to life vaccines or disease can make. PLEASE parents for the love of your children, Vaccinate them.
@NicolaMaxwell i feel bad for your kids, they will grow up wondering why you were so stupid and will probably curse you for not vaccinating them after they die to smallpox or the flu
I have autism and this makes me see red. Autism is by definition is "neuro diverisity" which TLDR means basically you think differently. EVERYONE is on this spectrum, people with autism are just higher on said spectrum. If there was any drug that affected autism, I would have taken it already. The only drugs that affect the brian which is not the way people think, are addictive drugs and neurological poisons. Neuro poisons/venom attack the brain/nervous system and cause it to feel so much pain that you die or causes paralysis. You already know what addictive drugs do so I don't need to explain this. The only known treatment for autism is therapy and attention from loved ones. I am glad you have made this video to show people how absurd these claims are. Thank you very much.
I’m on the spectrum too and these claims about vaccines causing autism make my blood boil. They’re implying that autism is worse than polio or measles, which is messed up.
@@northernskies86 "They’re implying that autism is worse than polio or measles" Some of them go further, and outright state that DEAD is better than on-the-spectrum. As I am on the spectrum, too, I can't help but take that kinda personally... Here's the fun part: some of these ppl pay me thousands of $ to help their kids score better on their LSAT... ie, to think *more as I do*.
Aspies have a higher need for GABA production and also need better fuel for the brain due to increased amount of neural connections. Common neurotypical diets do not contain enough "energy" to support the increased connections. Apsie brains are literally being starved due to incorrect diets which will increase the severity of the symptoms. Try following a Keto diet, fat is a better fuel for the brain and take l-glutamine to help increase GABA production, you can also eat various foods to help GABA as well. Note: The above suggestions is based on white papers and studies I have read. Gotta love our hyper focus. ;) Anyways the above has helped me lower the severity of the symptoms.
You are not autistic we dont need therapy or treatment because there is nothing wrong with us and what you just said is right out of the autism speaks handbook. 2.Thats the other lie aswell of everybodies on the spectrum theyre not our brains are significantly different to a neurotypical person and our dna is different aswell.|What the genesists call autistic genes .
It's a wonder they don't include charcoal, the "lead" in pencils, or diamonds, in their diets. It's carbon, after all. All of our food consists of molecules made with carbon. 🙃
@@berniethekiwidragon4382 Indeed! Also, I wonder why they keep consuming salt in one way or another. They are, after all, expert chemists, and they should know sodium is highly reactive, and chlorine is extremely toxic 🤔
I am fully vaccinated and have had faith in vaccines for a long time. For me it can be hard to blame many who are terrified because I was also ignorant to many of these concepts regardless of my willingness to vaccinate. Misinformation is a terrible thing, and further misinformation based on fear is sadly also a terrible thing. Thank you Dave for being more educated than I, and for putting into words what I cannot. Ignorance is only temporary if you are just willing to learn.

@ckots have you come across some new information? I’m not exactly sure where you are taking this question. I’m unaware of any hubris in my comment since I admired ignorance.
Yes dave. Thanks alot! I was self wondering how could this vaccine come up so quickly. Have to say, that this made me a bit skeptic. But now i know it and it gives additional security. Its just really bad, that the vaccine production cant hold up to the need. In our 15000 soul town, we had after waiting for several weeks, 20 vaccines. Now we have to wait another 3 weeks until more comes up. Its just terrible how slow this all goes.
A good analogy I saw was that normally, vaccine production is like trying to drive across a busy city in the height of the rush hour. Covid vaccines are like the local council banning all other traffic and you being given a police escort through the city. In a sports car.
It is hardly suprising that vaccine production is taking some time to ramp up and that there are some initial teething problems. Actually it is impressive just how efficient the whole process has been. Likely there will be adequate vaccines for everyone, in western countries by spring. The rest of the world will have to wait a bit longer, but governments are stepping up to plate for that too.

At 27:02. She's Tiffany Dover. The one that fainted after taking her first vaccine and then claimed that she already had medical conditions before taking it.
Hey Dave and greetings from healthcare industry. I absolutely love your videos and this one as well was spot on. Yet I want to raise two talking points of this video, and would love your opinions on them. 1) Back in the 2020 when I sat on the medical info conserning the J&J co.'s Pfizer vaccine that was appointed to the medical professionals by our corresponding agency to FDA, the info was very specific about the issue of the mRNA vaccine not giving protection for the infection per se but instead against the severe form of the infection. The info also included the fact that taking the mRNA vaccination will not stop you from spreading the virus potentially. Later we've seen the jab work in practice having had a +95 % national coverage with two shots not doing the trick and with over 80 % coverage with the third shot still not helping to gain herd immunity. Therefore the only gain with the new vaccines seems to be on personal level if even that. 2) As a healthcare professional, yet not a microbiologists, there are concerns about the autoimmune system failures. The original vaccines do work exactly as you described but the mRNA vaccines bring up the questions about the body's own cells working their way into making alien protein into the bloodstream. In the autoimmune diseases the body's own immune system attacks the body's own tissues by failing to recognize the tissue correctly - to put it very simply. There have been cases where the mRNA vaccines have caused such incidents where there was no other explaining factor found. Admittedly, there is a personal pick on this one, as I had to be fighting against "the system" for my spouse who got nephritis interstitialis due to the first jab (got confirmed later in the special healthcare after months of fighting). While having to dive into the matter and "specialize" in the kidney diseases (while it's rather far form my own field of work), I found out that there were others as well and similar rare tissue inflammation patients that had had them from the jab. To conclude this message I want to stress that I most definitely am on the side of science and I would be working on a whole other field of expertise should the medical science be dismissed in the history, but there are some issues concerning the newest vaccines that we aren't too ready to speak of in very definite sense yet.
To answer the biology side of things For part 2: simplified - A cell has genetic material (DNA) and has mechanisms to express genes in the DNA that code for different kinds of proteins (called protein synthesis, we can go from DNA to mRNA to protein). Again simplified - a virus is composed of genetic material (either DNA or RNA depending on the virus) encapsulated by an envelope made of lipids and structural proteins. A virus works by going into a cell and using the host cell's own mechanisms to read it's genetic material to make more of itself synthesizing the virus's proteins and by replicating the its genetic material. The more of itself it can make, the more rapidly it can spread to other cells. As our cells are creating the structural proteins, some of them are presented on the surface of the cell, these proteins are called antigens. Our immune system can recognize that as foreign and create antibodies. The mRNA vaccine isolates the genetic material to only the part that codes for the structural proteins (i.e. the part that our immune system can recognize and make antibodies) but not the rest of the virus so it can't spread. So either way, the body's own cell mechanisms are being used. Part 1: Vaccines themselves aren't fighting the infection, they are triggering our own immune system to create antibodies so we can have a faster response if we were to encounter the same antigens again.
@@MmEbady Thank you for explaining the very basics that I already know. The issue on mRNA vaccines is that they don't work the same way as the regular vaccines do. So you may disregard that entirely. Since original post, there's come variety of studies which you can check from Google Scholar for example. Start by applying "covid vaccine nephritis". You will find heaps.
@@smhkd90 And I explained how the mRNA vaccine works using the same mechanisms as a virus does and by logic (and if you already know all this) the same mechanisms as a regular vaccine with dead or weakened virus. So, our own cells are making "alien proteins" in all cases. Thanks for the google suggestions, it would be better to get information from experts in the field such as immunologists rather than youtube. But from my limited research, autoimmune adverse events following immunization occurs with other vaccines and aren’t just limited to mRNA vaccines. Some explanations are that it can be from immune response or from adjuvants in the vaccine. Since the COVID virus is also associated with nephritis, it’s most likely from immune response. Good luck on your search for an answer! Hopefully further research can make future vaccines with less side effects.

@@deletedchannel9945 what doctor gives a child more then 50 vaccines at one appointment? That’s the only way you could be poisoned by vaccines. And that’s the minimum amount.
👍The widespread fear that vaccines increase the risk of autism originated from a 1997 study whose author has since lost his medical license. "After the study was published, it came out that the main author had a financial incentive for the study to be published," Slade says. "After more was learned about the study, the other authors removed their names. That study has also been debunked by many other studies that used larger groups of children." The causes of autism and autism spectrum disorders have never been established. But many autism experts are increasingly convinced that autism is determined before birth - well before any vaccinations.
Dont hide him, it was Andrew Wakefield. Or to use his official medical title, Andrew Wakefield. He wasn't even an anti vaxxer, he just wanted people to use his measles vaccine instead of the MMR one.

Hello Professor Dave. Thank you for your continued educational videos. I have a 30 year friendship at risk over my friend’s CoVID vaccine hesitancy. She’s gone deep into misinformation territory and it’s turned into such a Gordian knot I am at a loss as to how to help her. Showing your video to her, I know she will ask one question: “Why should I trust a TH-cam “professor” (yes, she would type it in quotes), over Dr Robert Malone the inventor of mRNA when he says it’s dangerous?” Yes, I know Robert Malone is a self-proclaimed inventor and basically the “Andrew Wakefield” of mRNA, but that is the question she will throw at me, and I’m still not sure how to answer her. Any recommendations?
Tell her I'm not saying anything that isn't well understood by the scientific community. Also if she thinks Malone "invented mRNA", she's bonkers, and needs to learn basic biochemistry. She also needs to stop trusting unhinged iconoclasts. People are liars. Malone is one of them.
I have a sister who got Guillain Barre syndrome back in 2015. My mother and I had very different views on vaccines from that point on, she was a firm believer in “Vaccines bad!” while I was “Vaccines are very helpful but every medication has side effects!” I feel very sorry for my sister as the disease will effect her until she’s 52 and that’s only if she gets treatment every 3 weeks. I just want to say, Thank you Dave. I can’t show this to my mother as I don’t want to be disowned from my family but this video has probably helped so many and I have more knowledge than ever before on this subject.
@@pdevine999 Mate, do you think I don’t know that? Of course those things happen! I have a family member who that happened to! But you must remember, if we didn’t have vaccines a lot of our planet would still be plagued by diseases we could easily die from because of our lack of immunity to them. Those people who are affected badly by vaccines, they are a small minority. Of course I feel so sorry for those people but just because some are affected badly doesn’t mean we shouldn’t vaccinate at all. Well some vegetables contain chemical compounds that increase chance of kidney stones, so I guess we should just stop eating vegetables! How about soda or fast food? They cause obesity. So I guess we should just ban them.
They deny the dangers of COVID-19 ("It only attacks the elders and people with preexisting conditions!"). The vaccine will be made of just _parts_ of COVID (eg RNA of COVID), since according to them COVID-19 isn't dangerous, neither is the vaccine.
The long term effects of what? The mRNA vaccine? The mRNA degrades and is eliminated by the body after a few days. We can check for this. Everything else in the vaccine has been used in other vaccines for decades. The only long term effects we don't know about are how long it will be effective for combating Covid-19, and the vanishingly small chance that the vaccine will provoke an immune response to non-covid organisms that use a similar spike protein. This would only be a problem if the non-covid organisms were beneficial to humans, but this is why they have clinical trials. To weed out such issues. Since the immune response only takes at most a couple weeks to completely destroy an organism in the body, any major effects from accidentally killing beneficial bacteria would have been discovered by phase 3 trials at the latest. I just got the moderna shot, and the only thing negative effect so far has been a sore arm for a couple days. I've heard some people develop a low grade fever and other flu like symptoms. These are intentional. They are the vaccine provoking an immune response.
Thank you for the eloquence. I've been explaining the essence of this to people forever, and get told I'm under the influence. and ignorant. Oh, dear. Irony is dead.
@RUR It took all of 30 seconds to refute both of these quotes. Horowitz is a dentist, not a medical doctor. He has as much authority to comment on vaccines as I do to comment on cell biology or physics. Furthermore, his published books include such gems as "Healing Celebrations", which discusses healing using scripture. Religious mythology is as toxic to science as misinformation, and should remain separate. As for Shannon, this one was really easy. The quote you provided is commonly incorrectly used. A PDF of his original paper shows that the quote is incomplete and has been cherry picked in a way that, without context, gives the illusion of supporting anti-vax narrative. Quoting those with self-proclaimed authority and quoting those out of context are among the only weapons the anti-vax community has. Science doesn't lie. Vaccines save lives. There is absolutely no debate on this topic.
@@aposey89 science can be misrepresented, but it's not very good at promoting science, so misrepresentations aren't often talked about, like the guy in this video that didn't like the MMR vax when he had a vax to sell himself.

Nice tutorial! I wish you talked about all the vaccines : pfizer, moderna, sputnik, astrazeneca, janseen, novavax and give us a comparaison between them. I readed that pfizer and moderna are not recommanded if you have some type of allergies. How can we determine the appropriate vaccin to take? And what about his efficiacy?
The Pfizer trial was also unblinded prematurely (for ethical reasons), the lab conducting it was caught of serious misconduct by whistleblowers, and while the trial was still blinded, the placebo group experienced more infection but much fewer adverse medical events with mortality being essentially even. I can't speak for the other products, but I don't trust Pfizer. If I had to choose between guaranteed pre-omicron infection and a Pfizer jab, perhaps the jab would make sense, but nobody is guaranteed infection, so no thanks. I wish Dave would address information like this when doing a debunk, because not doing so makes it seem like he isn't fully familiar with the various concerns of his target audience. 5g and chipping stuff is just the low hanging fruit.

Hi there! What is you said is correct, but there is something that you are missing as well. I am a pro-vaxer, but I will still prefer to wait, because we do not know all of the long term-side effects from the covid-19 vaccines. Just as you said, we do not know the long term effects from the virus itself, but you have to treat the vaccines with the same sceptical attitude. You cannot say that there will be no long term side effects. However, from the covid-19 virus and the effects after going through it, we have more information on that rather than the effects from the vaccines against covid-19 due to timing. Another point is that the vaccines are rushed. It is not only paper work that was cut out of the covid-19 vaccine developement. Normally the testing phases go one after the other to make sure that you do not mess up more people if the vaccine you are testing turns out to have more negative effects. For example, in phase 1 you have groups of 80 people per group. If 10 or 20 of these have problems, then the vaccine does not go further. That is why you have to wait it out, so that you do not mess up people in phases 2 and 3, where you begin to have groups in the thousands. And we have to wait it out for 2 or 3 years to record all of the side effects. After having all of that, can we compare it against the risks from going through the desease itself. After all of that can we make the decision whether to get vaccinated or not. For now, I think it was wrong decision to allow it in the market, but I am happy that it is optional. Normally, I prefer vaccines to be mandatory, but those have been tested and perfect throughout time. Otherwise, as you said, we should not go against science, we should not go against vaccines, but we should develop and test them properly. I am sorry, but the testing for the covid-19 vaccines is not done properly. That is why we risk to have the same problem as the Cutter incident which you mentioned in the video - the 1950s polio vaccine failure. There they also said it was tested properly, but it turned out it was not and they did not wait long enough time to see the long term-side effects from their tests.
Any scientist or doctor can confirm that if you have no side effects right after taking the vaccines, chances of havinglong-term side effects are very, very slim. Also, the vaccines were not rushed. The technology has evolved over time in pretty much every field of study, including medicine, and considering that and the removal of the bureaucratic procedures that would normally take years, there's no reason to believe that the COVID vaccines were rushed.
@@zeendaniels5809 of course there is. No matter what technology the vaccine is made of (vector or mRNA), you still have to test that before allowing it in the market. The reason the Cutter incident occured was because they did not wait long enough time to observe all of the side effects. That is why after that incident people came up with the 10-15 year development and testing method before approving any vaccine. To make sure nothing like that happens again. Unfortunately if the vaccines in the future are developed in the rushed way the covid-19 vaccines are, then we are gambling and risking another such incident. May be we got a bit lucky with some of the covid-19 vaccines, but in the future we will not have such good luck.
@@mavericu_ actually not true. I have spoken to doctors, and most say that 90% of the side effects are in the first 2 months, but the long-term ones up to 2 or 3 years are about 10%. However, that does not give you the risk to your health from each side-effect. It can be that these 10% are fatal. I am sorry, but the vaccines are rushed. No other vaccine since the Cutter incident up to now was ever developed and tested in such a way as the ones against covid-19. Otherwise don't get me wrong, I will get vaccinated but only after I see all of the results and that it is really safe. Then I can make the informed decision and even select which vaccine to use.
@@btrcool1 Ehm... Wasn't the Cutter incident caused because some were given the live version of the virus and not an attenuated one? As I said, that is not possible to happen again with the mRNA vaccines.
@@mczeljk New tech, no long term studies yet, tiny death rate of the virus, being coerced by the TV instead of educated....there have been lots of reasons to be sceptical which have nothing to do with vaccines in general as a concept. Take J+J. They have done some real scum bag things in the past. Are you surprised when people don't necessarily trust products made by people who have given children cancer and tried to cover it up? What about the plethora of different scenarios regarding isolation or testing and how none of them match up or make sense? Like how i can go to a football game but not to the birth of my child?

In a nutshell she sums up how an all meat diet cured her of all the ailments that haunted her throughout her life, as she had many autoimmune and mental health disorders.

For the most part, the term "vaccine injury" is a misnomer. Except for the very, very, very rare allergic reactions all "vaccine injuries" are actually immune system errors. From an allergy perspective, there are only a handful of threats and if you are allergic to these things you know it long before your first vaccine because they are all used in millions of everyday products. All other adverse effects (e.g. myocarditis, pericarditis, thrombosis, and a myriad of other things vaccines are blamed for) are actually caused by immune system errors. While it is correct to say that vaccines could trigger these immune system errors, it is also true to say that they can be triggered by the virus, or by any virus, or bacterial infection, or allergies. Some have even speculated that these errors can arise spontaneously. Whatever the trigger, it is impossible to implicate a specific mechanism because there are no forensic markers to identify the trigger.
Hey I saw what you said about mRNA vaccines, and I have a bit of a question for you. Do you believe that after the COVID stuff finally gets fully eradicated that we will switch to using only this new system to create new vaccines or do you believe there is still some merit to using the previous system? I'd like to know your thoughts.
I think it will depend on the pathogen, I'm not really aware of what would make one approach more desirable than another but I'm sure it varies, it's a good question!
The coronaviruses simply don't work for vaccinations using the same methods as other vaccines, learned by trial and error what works. So they had to find another way. Maybe comparable to what weight loss/control methods work for a person. It varies.
mRNA is a new vaccine technology that has transformed the management of infectious disease. There’s no way that the older methods can compete with the molecular precision and timelines of getting a vaccine into arms. Vaccines for influenza have been produced in fertilized chicken eggs in the past, and it’s a primitive and costly way to go. It takes billions of eggs, for one which must be set aside months prior to influenza season. Once the virus is inoculated in the eggs, all the eggs have to be harvested for virus, and all egg protein and contaminants must be purified away, and the virus inactivated. Despite this, egg proteins have sometimes been present at levels high enough to cause immune reaction in patients. mRNA is here to stay and will replace not only conventional vaccine platforms for infectious disease, but also allows for vaccines against cancer and other conditions.

There's a splendid article from the Baffler about 25 years back called "Why Johnny Can't Dissent" which analyzes the "antinomian narrative" in advertising, which is very similar to what you identify as a preference for antiestablishment beliefs. Everywhere you looked in late-twentieth-century media you found these ecstatic memes about "breaking the rules" used as a mechanism to sell people stuff, so that "being a rebel" became a branding exercise associated with certain consumption choices. Buying a certain kind of potato chip was supposedly your way to DEFY all the gray-suited normies-- an advertising theme that you can see to this day attached to, say, corporate chain restaurants eating the food of which is supposedly an act of individual defiance against all rules. The article goes into the political effects of this "reflex antinomianism", which have been more than borne out by the subsequent development of internet epistemic silos and the online disinformation economy. If you can't find that article by itself, it's in the collection _Commodify Your Dissent: Salvos From the Baffler_ and well worth the time to read.
@Sai Sasank in the US, 'professor' is a title given to a mere college lecturer and as he no longer lectures in said institution, he's no longer a 'professor'. Where I'm from, a Professors is someone who has been promoted to the highest academic grade - usually on the basis of her or his scholarly achievements after having gained a PhD. Dave has zero scholarly achievements to date as he has a mere masters degree. He has neither a Doctorate nor a PhD. Naming your TH-cam channel 'Dave Explains' doesn't quite have the same ring to it, I guess.

You should mention the difference between chemicals ingested vs injected too though. You had a good starting example with formaldehyde, especially considering that the body produces it itself, but neglected to go into detail on it. I think it’s important, as you say in your other videos, to not just plainly say something happens, but to go into detail about the process and the reason you chose it as an example in the first place.
Yeah, aluminum is a neurotoxin and has the ability to cross the blood brain barrier. Considering aluminum is used in many vaccines as the “adjuvant” and the purpose of a adjuvant being a compound that stays in the body for a long time which the antigen binds with so you have a consistent immune response for a long term. Of course, they have done studies to ascertain the toxicity of the dosage of aluminum right? The only study that has been done and cited only tested the toxicity of INGESTED aluminum in adults. They never tested injection toxicity and never did any toxicity tests with children or infants at all. If you seriously try to equate effects of ingestion and injection then you have left the bounds of a scientific conversation.

Hey dave! As an engineering student, I can confirm that whoever says that a syringe has a microchip on the end is full of shit. It's mostly to do with how transistors work and how small they are today. You may know this, but I am only saying it for the sake of clarity. The simple fact is that transistors are already so small that they are subject to quantum tunnelling. And these microchips that we use for our electronics, while quite small, are nowhere small enough for the syringe. It is nearly impossible for them to be any smaller.
Not only that, but the electronics would also need power, which means at least a battery, which means even more volume making it even more impossible. But people would probably say that the microchips are powered by 5G shenanigans, without even knowing that those waves cannot penetrate human skin (fellow engineer here)
Oh yeah everyone thinks this by accident
Grow some respect and leave the skitzos alone
Tbh it would be a fun engineering design challenge to think of how you *could* make a micro scale powered chip like that. Pretty sure it’s never been done. Maybe with MEMS and a graphene antenna or sth.
@Nxck2440 most of the problem would be the antenna circuitry and power. Maybe something like RFID, but that would need external components
@@giacal8278 For the power, maybe we could have a microfabricated biofuel cell that reacts with glucose in the bloodstream to generate continuous electricity. But then you'd need an energy storage mechanism because an antenna can require lots of power relatively speaking, maybe using a microfluidics array. And obviously space as radio waves require at least a few centimetres of coiled up antenna wire. Maybe wound graphene nanoribbons. But then blood is conductive so radio waves would be rapidly attenuated and probably blocked entirely by the skin anyway.
And this is all without accounting for the many, many extra design challenges of in vivo biomedical devices, and it all has to be smaller than half a millimetre and not cause any noticeable side effects at all, without any public widespread testing to see if it would work at all. So yeah, extremely infeasible and probably impossible entirely.
As a parent of a child with Autism, I'm grateful for your simple explanation of the "vaccine causes autism" I'd read up on it upon my son's diagnosis, as people were telling me I'd caused his autism by vaccinating him. The problem is the signs of autism start to appear around the same time certain immunizations are due. It really is sad we have access to more information than ever before, but are too stupid to know what to do with it.
@@iadhdki9535 As someone with autism, you are wrong. Autism is not something that can be reversed, nor would you want to reverse it. It is a genetic condition that alters the structure and pathways of the brain. Nothing you do will cause or stop the presentation of autism. The reason the symptoms seem to get less with age is that autistic people learn to mask their traits in order to avoid rejection by society. You probably know people with autism and have no idea. As a society we need to stop the stigmatization of autism and other neurodivergent conditions and accept people for who they are.

@@iadhdki9535 You CANNOT 'reverse autism', no matter what you do, be it dieting or 'heavy metal detox', because it's GENETIC in nature, that is 'caused by variation in the genes of our body', and thus mostly hereditary, so you cannot do anything about it, only adapt to the way your brain is wired.

As an autistic person, I can say with certainty that my condition and vaccines are not correlated, and the fact that parents would rather have children dying from measles than have autistic children is delusional.
The only (sad) problem with videos like this is that no matter how much care, dedication, research and effort that is put into them, the ones who are listening aren't the ones who need to hear it the most. Those who would actually benefit from this information will just pull out the requisite "ur bad, science bad, me smarter science man because Facebook tell me magic crystal heal disease, so vaccine poison" card, and ignore any actual evidence. That said, even if they never reach those who need it most, I personally still love your videos. Keep em coming, Prof.!
Maybe the ones who need to see it won't, but these videos give solid arguments to people who may be dealing with a loved one who's buying into antivax conspiracies.
I'm spreading this video , I got some friends that need to here it....
The reason for that is because of how conspiracy theories work.
By definition a conspiracy theory cannot be falsified. Therefore, it is impossible to prove a conspiracy theory wrong. You can provide evidence to suggest their outcome is very unlikely, but you really cannot prove them, out right wrong.
The same actually applies to a scientific theory. Scientific theories forbid certain elements or aspects. As a result, when scientists conduct research, they aren't trying to support their theory.
Let me give you a prime example of what I mean from the one and only James Randy.
Imagine that you believe in Santa Claus and we are having a discussion about his existence. You ask me to prove that he doesn't exist. I take you up on that and fly to the North Pole. I look high and low, however, he isn't there. No lapland, no elves, no rain deer and no Santa.
I record my observations and come to the conclusion that he is not real.
I come back and present you with the evidence supporting the idea that he doesn't exist. Your response is, "well Santa is magic, he simply turned himself and Lapland invisible upon your arrival."
That doesn't mean that's what actually happened. But, I can't prove that he didn't just turn invisible.
In other words, conspiracies are based on confirmation bias. An individual who believes in a conspiracy theory wants it to be true. They will twist and bend evidence to suit their narrative. If you try to prove a scientific theory by looking for proof of your theory, you run the risk of doing the same.
That's why criminal investigations are based purely on the evidence. In reality, criminal investigators will not make up stories based on evidence they will just look at evidence from a surface level. This is because, they run the risk of bending the narrative if they don't.
Conspiracy nuts that see this video will make their own explanations for why their view is correct and adhere to confirmation bias.
I think occasionally a person who is slipping into the conspiracy theory might find this and have their minds changed.
That's all you can hope for. If you're lucky they will go on to help change other people's minds. I can't see any negatives to trying to educate people about these issues.
I think it justifies the work PDE put in to create it and is performing a public service by providing accurate information as a counterpoint to the deluge of ignorance on social media.
@@enhaxed7839 Definitely. To be honest, if I see people spreading misinformation about vaccines, I just send them a link to this.

@@TheHayleydavison I agree with that, but not where the debates around the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic are concerned. Sometimes the scientific community is split down the middle on something. Then I am more than happy to listen to both sides of the argument. Sometimes the scientific community are split over several different views, with each fairly well represented and usually with common ground shared among them. Then I'm very interested in all of those views and look to see where each has merit. But neither of those things are the case with the current "debate".
What we have is 99%+ of the scientific community being of one opinion and a fringe factor with opposing views. The likes of Boschee, Cahill, Sunetra Gupta, Coleman etc. When these people come on the radar of COVID-Deniers, lockdown protestors etc, they are instantly elevated within the movement and presented as the "side" of the argument. If on the other hand a scientist's view forms part of consensus view, the vast, vast majority are simply unheard of because what they have to say is unremarkable and therefore there is no-one pointing to them excitedly saying "Listen to what this person has to say". This does not form a debate where views are represented in the ratios in which they are held. All it does is create false equivalence.
I don't know if you realize how impactful content like this is, but my s/o had major vaccine hesitancy. I showed them this video and it definitely quelled a lot of those fears they had. So thank you for this.
I think vaccine hesitancy is a good thing. Vaccine paranoia is a problem however. Vaccines like any medicine aren’t inherently side effect free and the chief principle of both medicine is benefit vs harm. For instance, we’re not getting vaccinated for cholera bc the benefit is too little compared to the potential harm. It’s not just good but necessary to view things through the lens of benefit-harm weighing. I think it’s a misconception that skepticism is a bad or unscientific thing, it’s a fundamental in performing science on the contrary. Only ideas that can hold their own past skepticism survive which is also why vaccines have survived. The problems arise when people behave irrationally through paranoia and hysteria, not when people are skeptical.
@@ExternusArmy I don't think anyone is saying all skepticism and all hesitance are negative. They where hesitant to get a vaccine that was and is proven safe and effective. Hence, vaccine hesitancy.

Indeed, a good recent example is Thunderf00t's video on SpaceX.
In an attempt to try to show that "SpaceX isn't all that great", he examines the NASA paper "The Recent Large Reduction in Space Launch Cost" from 2018 which compares the cost to launch the now retired Space Shuttle versus a modern Falcon 9. In the video, everything points towards SpaceX being cheaper than the Shuttle and in the end, it is a meandering video with a lot of speculation which doesn't really prove any particular point.
Yet the takeaway for some of his viewers is "wow... I never knew SpaceX was so bad!" because they are pre-disposed to thinking Thunderf00t is a reliable, unbiased source. I think this recent video has proven that otherwise.
The anti-vaccine nonsense is not skepticism. Skeptical thinking involves looking at the data and forming a rational conclusion. These folks are conspiracy theorists, which is a different animal altogether.

Thanks for all the great info. I do think leaving out the lack of culpability for vaccine manufacturers is a problem as well as the long history of pharmaceutical companies settling lawsuits for false claims and misrepresentation without a single CEO ever going to jail.
I too agree that vaccine makers should never have been granted blanket immunity against lawsuits (by President Reagan in 1986). Though we vaccinated our daughter in late 90's (with no injuries), my views changed in 2015 when my healthy 7mo old dog died within hours of her 7-in-1 jab. I now dread all needles. I would rather take risk in getting the actual infection/disease naturally and allow our immune system to fight it off organically. My three remaining dogs haven't been to a vet in 8yrs. I pay attention to what I feed them (no processed crap). I am of the firm belief that man will never really be able to fully understand the immune system (because our bodies behave in highly complex ways once we breach the closed-loop system to study the process). I am not anti-science; but I am definitely anti-$cience, funded solely by profiteering mobs of Wall Street. I hope to one day start trusting science without fearing it. At the moment, I am s#it scared of all synthetic drugs and invasive procedures. If I get seriously injured in an accident, I may not have any other choice.
Can we discuss the reason why vaccine manufacturers are indemnified by western governments against law suits from individuals who suffer adverse reactions? Can we discuss why the vaccine manufacturers opted to not supply vaccines (protecting against this indescribably dangerous disease) to developing countries who's own governments would not provide an indemnity?
@@mfctrv2139 It’s certainly true that the vaccine and medicine industry is still an industry, and the big companies will still do anything they can to make money. But that doesn’t take away from how important vaccines are today, since if you didn’t have them you would probably die of a disease you can’t pronounce the name of.

In regards to Wakefield you missed a couple of points in that a trial at the UK supreme Court found him guilty of kidnapping, fraud and conducting unauthorised tests on children and the UK has been trying to get him back from the US with no luck, btw the trial was done in his absence because by then he had already fled, he also has a massive list of ethical charges against him, though I don't blame you for letting that point go as it is so large that it would be a whole documentary on its own
There needs to be. The only ones I see specifically about him either take his side or none, in spite of the blatant evidence against him. This man should have been jailed years ago.

As someone with autism(asperger syndrome) I'm extremely tired of these cons treating me as a science experiment gone wrong and that me being autistic is the worst fate imaginable. They seriously act like we are dying from a horrific disease, and not real people with feelings who can have a great life just like anyone else.
Even IF a vax caused my autism (it didn't) I'd still take autism over having died as a child from smallpox, polio, or measles. Rock on. 🤙Also, do I get more autistic if I get more vaccines?
I hope so, I've always connected more with neurodiverse people😂

Was just watching an old episode of Law & Order: SVU that dealt with vaccinations. What stood out to me as odd was that the Irish Catholic Conservative Detective Stabler was supporting mandated vaccines and the Liberal Democrat Detectives Benson and Munch were arguing against mandates and how it should be up to the individual to decide. Oh how times have changed. The episode wasn't even really that old (2008).
I posted a link to this video on Facebook and it was removed as misinformation.
One of the best pieces of real information that exists.
Bruhmoment moms on Facebook be like: everything on Facebook is true, except the things that I think are fake
I was never anti-vaxxer. I got the COVID vaccine without fear but I still learned many things in this video. Very instuctive and easy to understand (which is important for such a subject). I was unaware of the origins of the mercury myth and the NaCl example was an excellent way to explain how the presence of a mercury atom in a compound does not equal a mercury atom by itself. I did not know that but I'm glad I do now. I immensely appreciate your work and by tackling subjects like these, you are doing the world a great service by fighting against misinformstion. Respect!
Great presentation. I am someone who is vaccine hesitant. A lot of this stems from lapses in objectivity and critical thinking from the medical community and media. For instance, the first thing I did when presented with the idea that there could be a problem with the current vaccine schedule given to children was to ask my general practitioner: hey doc, could there be anything wrong with the current vaccine schedule, in theory? Without hesitating to even consider my question he said no. That is not a reasonable or scientific answer and it unnerved me. I saw it for what it was. Advocacy mixed with annoyance at what he sees as anti-science. He was doing his part to combat the "stupidity." But the entire conversation around this issue is full of people telling other people who have questions to shut up and stop being morons.
People making videos like this would do better not to paint skeptics or questioners as morons and should not use a mocking tone. Questioning and skepticism are essential parts of a scientific process and worldview. They should never be suppressed. This has only gotten worse with Covid. The mainstream media's mandate to correct for what they see as the stupid anti-vax movement has ruined their objectivity and tainted their judgement. A recent episode of Fresh Air with Terry Gross illustrates this. She was interviewing a person billed as a vaccine expert. In the intro she noted that his child has autism. And yet he is an advocate for vaccines for children. Supposedly this was proof of his intellectual honesty. What she didn't mention until a ways into the interview, before quickly sweeping past it, was that he was an owner in a company working very hard to bring a covid vaccine to market. He was completely incentivized to be pro-vaccine. Not only did Gross not think this would make him an inappropriate subject on the matter, she didn't even seem to acknowledge the apparent conflict of interest. And on and on.
My questions about this video:
When he says in passing that the link between vaccines and autism were disproven, what does that mean?
What do you say to the theory that vaccines might not contain a dangerous level of metal in their doses alone but that some people may already have high metal levels in their body from their environment and other factors and a vaccine could push them over the threshold into toxicity?
Is it valid to be concerned that mnra vaccines, while they are not a new technology, are being administered to the public for the first time? Isn't it a scientific approach to be cautious about potential long-term effects? Is there anything wrong with the fact that we are vaccinating the control groups, i.e. erasing the controls?
What does proper vaccine testing in clinical trials even mean?
If the mrna technology was so airtight long before covid, why wasn't it used to combat other infectious diseases worldwide?
What about the broader issue that we could create a culture where showing vaccine compliance becomes mandatory for participation in society? The current covid vaccines may be acceptable in theory but there is no way to postulate about future vaccines since they don't exist. I personally find it disturbing to imagine having to get regular injections for the rest of my life. The conversation around questioning the current batch of vaccines has been too strong-handed for my taste. And I know this is as good as it's going to get since this is the first pandemic in the current era. I have to imagine that if regular injections become a new normal, it will become impossible to question in any meaningful way every new vaccine by every new company that is rolled out. This is problematic for me.
This video illustrates many of the principles and consistent factors at play in the vaccine discussion but only when they support a conclusion of vaccines being an overwhelmingly positive technology. This video does not, however, talk about other constants throughout history, including government mishandling of medical technology and a consistent m.o. of choosing to apologize (when caught) rather than ask permission (thalidomide, agent orange, nuclear weapons testing both underground on U.S. soil and in the stratosphere, meddling in the affairs of other sovereign countries).
Let's respond to some of your questions:
1) link between autism and vaccines disproven: it is. Simple. Large-scale studies on the population have shown there is no increase in the rate of autism in vaccinated vs unvaccinated individuals.
2) the amount of metal (ions) in vaccines is so low that if this were the last drop it would be dwarfed by the many other "last drops"
3) mRNA vaccines have been used in clinical trials before, with good success. We already have background levels for lots and lots of different conditions from years/decades of data, so it is not really a concern we are 'erasing' the controls, because, again, we already have that control data. We already know the general levels of, say, blood clots
4) don't know what you mean with this one
5) This is easily answered: it is expensive technology. You would only use it for severe infectious diseases which (sadly, I might say) are very prevalent in developed countries. Another obvious issue is that we already have vaccines for many infectious diseases, so just making an mRNA-based vaccine would require it to be a lot better than the old vaccines, as the former is so much more expensive than the latter, at least for now.
6) We already have such a culture for many other things. Walking around naked is in the vast majority of places culturally not acceptable. It is often even *mandatory* to wear clothes. The gliding scale you propose is in itself a gliding scale.
@@Marco-it2mr Thanks for the reply.
Regarding #1, that doesn't sound like proof in any meaningful way. A really scientific study has controls. What would be the control factor there? This is the problem with this issue, there is no ethical way to study it or create controls for vaccine trials. Also - and I don't want this to sound too harsh - but it's obnoxious that you wrote "simple." It's not, in fact, simple.
Regarding #3, I'm not sure how far back the trials go that you're referring to but I think it's safe to say that they don't go far enough back to show long-term results. So even if your point stands that the clinical trials for previous uses of mrna technology had preserved their controls, it's still not long term. But that doesn't speak to the current covid vaccines, for which there is both no long term data and for which the control group is currently being erased.
Regarding #4, I just don't understand the reasoning behind the studies. Normal scientific studies control for as many variables as possible. Whereas with these vaccine trials, people are either administered a vaccine or a placebo and then asked to go about their lives and see who catches covid. The participants control their exposure, not the people running the experiment. I would assume that many of the people who signed up for the vaccine trials were people with an already high level of anxiety about catching Covid, meaning they would be lowering exposure already. Maybe if the sample sizes are large enough, variables like this don't matter as much. But it just doesn't feel very objective to me.
Regarding #6, I realize that living in a society requires compromise. And that there is no absolute freedom for anyone. Totally on board with that. But I think we should be concerned with establishing a new paradigm because new paradigms are very hard to turn back. Think of something like income tax, for instance. It was created in 1909. Many people assume it is an idea that goes back to the founding of this country and they also assume that it's always been this way and is beyond questioning. I don't have an opinion on income tax, I'm just pointing out that there is an inertia to reversing large social systems once they've been implemented. Every year people complain about Daylight Savings Time. Nobody has changed it. Every election people complain about the Electoral College System. Nobody changes it. I feel like we are on the verge of creating a culture of permanent forced injections and it is worrisome to me.
@@danieljohnson1213
1) the controls are non-vaccinated people. They exist and in far larger numbers than you would think. It is, thus, simple.
3) there are studies from the early 2010s. But again, we can compare the current COVID-vaccinated population to the "averages" we know from the recent 'past' (which could be as late as 2019).
4) So, your suggestion would be to deliberately expose these people to the virus...which is unethical! Remember that the people themselves do not know whether they received the vaccine or the placebo, so both groups are very likely to behave similar, even if it is "similar" in their attempts to not get infected.
6) You are comparing, for lack of a better term, "peer pressure" to vaccinate to LAWS.
@@danieljohnson1213 _there is no ethical way to study it or create controls for vaccine trials_
What? Double blind clinical studies for vaccines do exist and they were applied for the COVID ones. A very close friend of mine participated in the ones for Pfizer. He didn't know if he got the vaccine or a placebo for almost a year.
Your fears are just based on misinformation.
@@Marco-it2mr 1) Those are just people in society, not participants in a study. Is that a meaningful control? Wouldn't a control be to get a fixed group of participants and then, while controlling variables such as environment, apply vaccines to some and not to others? Obviously it would be unethical to do this because what we are testing for is potential harm by either option.
Also, where is there a significant population of non-vaccinated children in the west? Even if individual numbers of non-vaccinated children add up, I would imagine they are still scattered around with too much dissimilarity between environments. Anyway, I don't want to come off as too argumentative. I'm genuinely curious about how these studies were administered and why they are considered conclusive proof.
3) That's not long term though
4) No, I'm saying that you can't do that, because it would be unethical for the same reasons that you can't study the effects of vaccines on children in an controlled environment. That's my hangup understanding how these studies prove anything by strict scientific standards. I take your point that they would all behave essentially the same in theory.
6) I'm speaking of something more substantial than peer pressure. A culture where there are penalties for not being vaccinated. You can't fly. You can't go to gyms. You don't get promoted at work. This isn't far fetched. I've already heard two stories from friends who were heavily pressured by their work supervisors to get the vaccine.
Hey Professor, I really love your videos and your way of explaining complex subjects in a way the public understands them. I just would like to add about the myocarditis problem of Moderna vaccines, since I was personally affected by it. I'm with you, that vaccines do have side effects, but the benefits outweigh them by far. But I still think we should talk about the side effects and not deny their existence, this only hurts those affected and gives the wackjobs a talking point. So here goes my personal story, read if you want :)
I got my second shot of the Moderna vaccine after receiving AstraZeneca for the first. After two days I started having chest pain and my left arm went partially numb. In the hospital blood tests showed a highly elevated troponin level, indicating damage to my heart muscle. The levels went down after 2 days and I did not experience any severe longterm damage, but still experience chest pain when exercising and in stressful situations due to scarring. I don't like to talk about it to friends and colleagues because most either think I'm a antiscience idiot or I find out that they are.
I send all of my medical students to your channel for basic science review. But I have to say...If you can sum up all the disinformation you've heard about vaccines in a 30 minute video, you haven't heard very many or you deserve a Nobel prize. :)

How's your heart doing? Cancer flare up yet?
27:16 18 million people in my ex country were vaccinated in 1972, when there were much less educated people. Ofcourse, today we have much higher percentage of educated people, yet more than 50% refuse to get vaccinated against covid. What is wrong with people?
In some people, a little bit of education gives them all the confidence they need to believe in what they want. When you have no education, you are probably aware of it, and would therfore be more likely to listen to someone who is educated.
My understanding is that the "gut feeling" that vaccines caused autism was due in large part to the temporal proximity of vaccinations and the onset of recognizeable autism symptoms. From what I understand about autism, children don't start exhibiting obvious signs of autism until they about 2-3 years old. This is when they start walking, talking, and performing other motor and intellectual tasks that autistic children have trouble learning. The administration of some of the major childhood vaccinations (such as polio, TDAP boosters, and hepatitis) are done during this same time period. So parents would get the vaccines, then in the following months, start noticing that their child is is having trouble learning to walk, talk, etc., and since the vaccination was a "major medical procedure" that happened recently, they assume the two are linked. When in reality, the child was already autistic (from birth), and would have started developing noticeable symptoms at that time regardless of vaccinations.
Hit the nail on the head.
I really appreciate the concise point by point way you explain the different aspects of what has needlessly become a controversial topic.
My own personal experience has made me a vaccine advocate. When I was young there was a very real chance of catching one of the highly contagious diseases that had killed people for centuries.
One of my friends had polio, another diphtheria and both of my parents had tuberculosis. Thus we regarded vaccines as a blessing and got our jabs in school.
Out of the hundreds I knew who got multiple vaccinations over the years none suffered any serious side effects and these deadly diseases have been largely wiped out.
I also find it ironic that anti-vaxers use technology developed through science to denigrate science while having no knowledge about science.
Your final comment is poetic. May I quote you?

My brother almost died of appendicitis, and I would LOVE to have that man look my brother in the eye and try to tell him that he was just constipated.
When my mother was pregnant with me she became sick with Rubella. She worked in a hospital so thankfully got a vaccination beforehand. It was before the days of booster shots. I was born with scars in my left retina and pituitary gland. Had she not taken that vaccine I would have been born completely blind and brain damaged. Had the booster existed I would likely have had no damage at all. I am such a good example of the difference to life vaccines or disease can make.
PLEASE parents for the love of your children, Vaccinate them.
No
@NicolaMaxwell i feel bad for your kids, they will grow up wondering why you were so stupid and will probably curse you for not vaccinating them after they die to smallpox or the flu
I have autism and this makes me see red. Autism is by definition is "neuro diverisity" which TLDR means basically you think differently. EVERYONE is on this spectrum, people with autism are just higher on said spectrum. If there was any drug that affected autism, I would have taken it already. The only drugs that affect the brian which is not the way people think, are addictive drugs and neurological poisons. Neuro poisons/venom attack the brain/nervous system and cause it to feel so much pain that you die or causes paralysis. You already know what addictive drugs do so I don't need to explain this. The only known treatment for autism is therapy and attention from loved ones. I am glad you have made this video to show people how absurd these claims are. Thank you very much.
I’m on the spectrum too and these claims about vaccines causing autism make my blood boil. They’re implying that autism is worse than polio or measles, which is messed up.

Aspies have a higher need for GABA production and also need better fuel for the brain due to increased amount of neural connections. Common neurotypical diets do not contain enough "energy" to support the increased connections. Apsie brains are literally being starved due to incorrect diets which will increase the severity of the symptoms. Try following a Keto diet, fat is a better fuel for the brain and take l-glutamine to help increase GABA production, you can also eat various foods to help GABA as well.
Note: The above suggestions is based on white papers and studies I have read. Gotta love our hyper focus. ;)
Anyways the above has helped me lower the severity of the symptoms.

Yes dave. Thanks alot! I was self wondering how could this vaccine come up so quickly. Have to say, that this made me a bit skeptic. But now i know it and it gives additional security. Its just really bad, that the vaccine production cant hold up to the need. In our 15000 soul town, we had after waiting for several weeks, 20 vaccines. Now we have to wait another 3 weeks until more comes up. Its just terrible how slow this all goes.
A good analogy I saw was that normally, vaccine production is like trying to drive across a busy city in the height of the rush hour. Covid vaccines are like the local council banning all other traffic and you being given a police escort through the city. In a sports car.
There are three more companies about to get the green light to produce so hopefully things will be very different by the summer. Fingers crossed!
It is hardly suprising that vaccine production is taking some time to ramp up and that there are some initial teething problems. Actually it is impressive just how efficient the whole process has been. Likely there will be adequate vaccines for everyone, in western countries by spring. The rest of the world will have to wait a bit longer, but governments are stepping up to plate for that too.

Hey Dave and greetings from healthcare industry. I absolutely love your videos and this one as well was spot on. Yet I want to raise two talking points of this video, and would love your opinions on them.
1) Back in the 2020 when I sat on the medical info conserning the J&J co.'s Pfizer vaccine that was appointed to the medical professionals by our corresponding agency to FDA, the info was very specific about the issue of the mRNA vaccine not giving protection for the infection per se but instead against the severe form of the infection. The info also included the fact that taking the mRNA vaccination will not stop you from spreading the virus potentially. Later we've seen the jab work in practice having had a +95 % national coverage with two shots not doing the trick and with over 80 % coverage with the third shot still not helping to gain herd immunity. Therefore the only gain with the new vaccines seems to be on personal level if even that.
2) As a healthcare professional, yet not a microbiologists, there are concerns about the autoimmune system failures. The original vaccines do work exactly as you described but the mRNA vaccines bring up the questions about the body's own cells working their way into making alien protein into the bloodstream. In the autoimmune diseases the body's own immune system attacks the body's own tissues by failing to recognize the tissue correctly - to put it very simply. There have been cases where the mRNA vaccines have caused such incidents where there was no other explaining factor found. Admittedly, there is a personal pick on this one, as I had to be fighting against "the system" for my spouse who got nephritis interstitialis due to the first jab (got confirmed later in the special healthcare after months of fighting). While having to dive into the matter and "specialize" in the kidney diseases (while it's rather far form my own field of work), I found out that there were others as well and similar rare tissue inflammation patients that had had them from the jab.
To conclude this message I want to stress that I most definitely am on the side of science and I would be working on a whole other field of expertise should the medical science be dismissed in the history, but there are some issues concerning the newest vaccines that we aren't too ready to speak of in very definite sense yet.

For part 2: simplified - A cell has genetic material (DNA) and has mechanisms to express genes in the DNA that code for different kinds of proteins (called protein synthesis, we can go from DNA to mRNA to protein).
Again simplified - a virus is composed of genetic material (either DNA or RNA depending on the virus) encapsulated by an envelope made of lipids and structural proteins. A virus works by going into a cell and using the host cell's own mechanisms to read it's genetic material to make more of itself synthesizing the virus's proteins and by replicating the its genetic material. The more of itself it can make, the more rapidly it can spread to other cells. As our cells are creating the structural proteins, some of them are presented on the surface of the cell, these proteins are called antigens. Our immune system can recognize that as foreign and create antibodies.
The mRNA vaccine isolates the genetic material to only the part that codes for the structural proteins (i.e. the part that our immune system can recognize and make antibodies) but not the rest of the virus so it can't spread.
So either way, the body's own cell mechanisms are being used.
Part 1: Vaccines themselves aren't fighting the infection, they are triggering our own immune system to create antibodies so we can have a faster response if we were to encounter the same antigens again.
@@MmEbady Thank you for explaining the very basics that I already know. The issue on mRNA vaccines is that they don't work the same way as the regular vaccines do. So you may disregard that entirely. Since original post, there's come variety of studies which you can check from Google Scholar for example. Start by applying "covid vaccine nephritis". You will find heaps.
@@smhkd90 And I explained how the mRNA vaccine works using the same mechanisms as a virus does and by logic (and if you already know all this) the same mechanisms as a regular vaccine with dead or weakened virus. So, our own cells are making "alien proteins" in all cases.
Thanks for the google suggestions, it would be better to get information from experts in the field such as immunologists rather than youtube. But from my limited research, autoimmune adverse events following immunization occurs with other vaccines and aren’t just limited to mRNA vaccines. Some explanations are that it can be from immune response or from adjuvants in the vaccine. Since the COVID virus is also associated with nephritis, it’s most likely from immune response. Good luck on your search for an answer! Hopefully further research can make future vaccines with less side effects.

👍The widespread fear that vaccines increase the risk of autism originated from a 1997 study whose author has since lost his medical license.
"After the study was published, it came out that the main author had a financial incentive for the study to be published," Slade says. "After more was learned about the study, the other authors removed their names. That study has also been debunked by many other studies that used larger groups of children."
The causes of autism and autism spectrum disorders have never been established. But many autism experts are increasingly convinced that autism is determined before birth - well before any vaccinations.

Hello Professor Dave. Thank you for your continued educational videos. I have a 30 year friendship at risk over my friend’s CoVID vaccine hesitancy. She’s gone deep into misinformation territory and it’s turned into such a Gordian knot I am at a loss as to how to help her.
Showing your video to her, I know she will ask one question: “Why should I trust a TH-cam “professor” (yes, she would type it in quotes), over Dr Robert Malone the inventor of mRNA when he says it’s dangerous?” Yes, I know Robert Malone is a self-proclaimed inventor and basically the “Andrew Wakefield” of mRNA, but that is the question she will throw at me, and I’m still not sure how to answer her. Any recommendations?
Tell her I'm not saying anything that isn't well understood by the scientific community. Also if she thinks Malone "invented mRNA", she's bonkers, and needs to learn basic biochemistry. She also needs to stop trusting unhinged iconoclasts. People are liars. Malone is one of them.
Even being charitable, to say Malone invented mRNA vaccines is akin to saying Ben Franklin invented the lightbulb.

But you must remember, if we didn’t have vaccines a lot of our planet would still be plagued by diseases we could easily die from because of our lack of immunity to them. Those people who are affected badly by vaccines, they are a small minority. Of course I feel so sorry for those people but just because some are affected badly doesn’t mean we shouldn’t vaccinate at all. Well some vegetables contain chemical compounds that increase chance of kidney stones, so I guess we should just stop eating vegetables! How about soda or fast food? They cause obesity.

The most common comment I hear is...
You don’t know the long term effects!
What would the response to this be?
is it as bad as death? Then don't worry.
Is there any good reason to think there will be long term effects?
They deny the dangers of COVID-19 ("It only attacks the elders and people with preexisting conditions!"). The vaccine will be made of just _parts_ of COVID (eg RNA of COVID), since according to them COVID-19 isn't dangerous, neither is the vaccine.
The long term effects of what? The mRNA vaccine? The mRNA degrades and is eliminated by the body after a few days. We can check for this. Everything else in the vaccine has been used in other vaccines for decades. The only long term effects we don't know about are how long it will be effective for combating Covid-19, and the vanishingly small chance that the vaccine will provoke an immune response to non-covid organisms that use a similar spike protein. This would only be a problem if the non-covid organisms were beneficial to humans, but this is why they have clinical trials. To weed out such issues. Since the immune response only takes at most a couple weeks to completely destroy an organism in the body, any major effects from accidentally killing beneficial bacteria would have been discovered by phase 3 trials at the latest. I just got the moderna shot, and the only thing negative effect so far has been a sore arm for a couple days. I've heard some people develop a low grade fever and other flu like symptoms. These are intentional. They are the vaccine provoking an immune response.

@RUR It took all of 30 seconds to refute both of these quotes.
Horowitz is a dentist, not a medical doctor. He has as much authority to comment on vaccines as I do to comment on cell biology or physics. Furthermore, his published books include such gems as "Healing Celebrations", which discusses healing using scripture. Religious mythology is as toxic to science as misinformation, and should remain separate.
As for Shannon, this one was really easy. The quote you provided is commonly incorrectly used. A PDF of his original paper shows that the quote is incomplete and has been cherry picked in a way that, without context, gives the illusion of supporting anti-vax narrative.

Nice tutorial! I wish you talked about all the vaccines : pfizer, moderna, sputnik, astrazeneca, janseen, novavax and give us a comparaison between them.
I readed that pfizer and moderna are not recommanded if you have some type of allergies. How can we determine the appropriate vaccin to take? And what about his efficiacy?
The Pfizer trial was also unblinded prematurely (for ethical reasons), the lab conducting it was caught of serious misconduct by whistleblowers, and while the trial was still blinded, the placebo group experienced more infection but much fewer adverse medical events with mortality being essentially even. I can't speak for the other products, but I don't trust Pfizer. If I had to choose between guaranteed pre-omicron infection and a Pfizer jab, perhaps the jab would make sense, but nobody is guaranteed infection, so no thanks.

China created c0vid 19
Hi there! What is you said is correct, but there is something that you are missing as well. I am a pro-vaxer, but I will still prefer to wait, because we do not know all of the long term-side effects from the covid-19 vaccines. Just as you said, we do not know the long term effects from the virus itself, but you have to treat the vaccines with the same sceptical attitude. You cannot say that there will be no long term side effects. However, from the covid-19 virus and the effects after going through it, we have more information on that rather than the effects from the vaccines against covid-19 due to timing.
Another point is that the vaccines are rushed. It is not only paper work that was cut out of the covid-19 vaccine developement. Normally the testing phases go one after the other to make sure that you do not mess up more people if the vaccine you are testing turns out to have more negative effects. For example, in phase 1 you have groups of 80 people per group. If 10 or 20 of these have problems, then the vaccine does not go further. That is why you have to wait it out, so that you do not mess up people in phases 2 and 3, where you begin to have groups in the thousands. And we have to wait it out for 2 or 3 years to record all of the side effects. After having all of that, can we compare it against the risks from going through the desease itself.
After all of that can we make the decision whether to get vaccinated or not. For now, I think it was wrong decision to allow it in the market, but I am happy that it is optional. Normally, I prefer vaccines to be mandatory, but those have been tested and perfect throughout time.
Otherwise, as you said, we should not go against science, we should not go against vaccines, but we should develop and test them properly. I am sorry, but the testing for the covid-19 vaccines is not done properly. That is why we risk to have the same problem as the Cutter incident which you mentioned in the video - the 1950s polio vaccine failure. There they also said it was tested properly, but it turned out it was not and they did not wait long enough time to see the long term-side effects from their tests.
But with the mRNA vaccines there is no risk of another Cutter incident, since there is no virus in the vaccine... 🤷🏻♂️
Any scientist or doctor can confirm that if you have no side effects right after taking the vaccines, chances of havinglong-term side effects are very, very slim. Also, the vaccines were not rushed. The technology has evolved over time in pretty much every field of study, including medicine, and considering that and the removal of the bureaucratic procedures that would normally take years, there's no reason to believe that the COVID vaccines were rushed.
@@zeendaniels5809 of course there is. No matter what technology the vaccine is made of (vector or mRNA), you still have to test that before allowing it in the market. The reason the Cutter incident occured was because they did not wait long enough time to observe all of the side effects. That is why after that incident people came up with the 10-15 year development and testing method before approving any vaccine. To make sure nothing like that happens again. Unfortunately if the vaccines in the future are developed in the rushed way the covid-19 vaccines are, then we are gambling and risking another such incident. May be we got a bit lucky with some of the covid-19 vaccines, but in the future we will not have such good luck.
@@mavericu_ actually not true. I have spoken to doctors, and most say that 90% of the side effects are in the first 2 months, but the long-term ones up to 2 or 3 years are about 10%. However, that does not give you the risk to your health from each side-effect. It can be that these 10% are fatal. I am sorry, but the vaccines are rushed. No other vaccine since the Cutter incident up to now was ever developed and tested in such a way as the ones against covid-19. Otherwise don't get me wrong, I will get vaccinated but only after I see all of the results and that it is really safe. Then I can make the informed decision and even select which vaccine to use.
@@btrcool1 Ehm... Wasn't the Cutter incident caused because some were given the live version of the virus and not an attenuated one? As I said, that is not possible to happen again with the mRNA vaccines.

@@ProfessorDaveExplains damn. So that talking point with regards to covid is even more stupid
@@Synapse-CrossroadsOfKnowledge it certainly is
@@ProfessorDaveExplains What about natural immunity ? You left that part out at the end .. why do I need a vaccine when I have immunity already? Pointless
@@skyyb0rn Well it isn't, since there are many different strains, so you should probably try and learn something.
I think it would be beneficial to have graphs showing just how small the doses are instead of just giving the numbers, it's just a way for that information to hit home a little harder, and make visualization of the disparity's between the two easier.
Glad I found this channel. I used to believe all kinds of woo woo about science/medicine. I'm glad I realize I was wrong about that. Now I find it shocking that people believe medical misinformation as I did, it's dangerous.
It takes great effort to come out of such a spiral. You should be proud of yourself
I used to believe in some pretty hardcore alt-right shit when I was a kid, but by searching for opposing viewpoints actually helped me pull myself out of that hole.
I guess presidential candidate Kennedy who says vaccine cause autism is just a stupid guy. Weird how a stupid guy could run for president. Or maybe he isn't and you are just naive for believing the anti-vax movement is a real movement ? There are no anti-vax persons. There only people who do research and prefer to stay healthy differently.
For the most part, the term "vaccine injury" is a misnomer.
Except for the very, very, very rare allergic reactions all "vaccine injuries" are actually immune system errors.
From an allergy perspective, there are only a handful of threats and if you are allergic to these things you know it long before your first vaccine because they are all used in millions of everyday products.
All other adverse effects (e.g. myocarditis, pericarditis, thrombosis, and a myriad of other things vaccines are blamed for) are actually caused by immune system errors. While it is correct to say that vaccines could trigger these immune system errors, it is also true to say that they can be triggered by the virus, or by any virus, or bacterial infection, or allergies. Some have even speculated that these errors can arise spontaneously. Whatever the trigger, it is impossible to implicate a specific mechanism because there are no forensic markers to identify the trigger.
Hey I saw what you said about mRNA vaccines, and I have a bit of a question for you. Do you believe that after the COVID stuff finally gets fully eradicated that we will switch to using only this new system to create new vaccines or do you believe there is still some merit to using the previous system? I'd like to know your thoughts.
I think it will depend on the pathogen, I'm not really aware of what would make one approach more desirable than another but I'm sure it varies, it's a good question!
Yeah, you should probably look for someone who works in the field of immunology.
The coronaviruses simply don't work for vaccinations using the same methods as other vaccines, learned by trial and error what works. So they had to find another way. Maybe comparable to what weight loss/control methods work for a person. It varies.
mRNA is a new vaccine technology that has transformed the management of infectious disease. There’s no way that the older methods can compete with the molecular precision and timelines of getting a vaccine into arms. Vaccines for influenza have been produced in fertilized chicken eggs in the past, and it’s a primitive and costly way to go. It takes billions of eggs, for one which must be set aside months prior to influenza season. Once the virus is inoculated in the eggs, all the eggs have to be harvested for virus, and all egg protein and contaminants must be purified away, and the virus inactivated. Despite this, egg proteins have sometimes been present at levels high enough to cause immune reaction in patients. mRNA is here to stay and will replace not only conventional vaccine platforms for infectious disease, but also allows for vaccines against cancer and other conditions.
@@ProfessorDaveExplains have you seen the increase in myocarditis and excess deaths, if so would you be willing to talk about it?
Arguing against a anti-Vaxxer is like playing chess against a pigeon. No matter how good you are, the pigeon would knock over all the pieces, poop on the box, declare him/herself the winner and fly away
As a wise man once said, "you cant win an argument against an idiot as they will deag you down to their level and beat you with experience."
The protected need to be protected from the unprotected by forcing the unprotected to use the protection that didn't protect the protected.
Elementary, my dear Watson.
What the fuck are you talking about, sherlock.
There's a splendid article from the Baffler about 25 years back called "Why Johnny Can't Dissent" which analyzes the "antinomian narrative" in advertising, which is very similar to what you identify as a preference for antiestablishment beliefs. Everywhere you looked in late-twentieth-century media you found these ecstatic memes about "breaking the rules" used as a mechanism to sell people stuff, so that "being a rebel" became a branding exercise associated with certain consumption choices.
Buying a certain kind of potato chip was supposedly your way to DEFY all the gray-suited normies-- an advertising theme that you can see to this day attached to, say, corporate chain restaurants eating the food of which is supposedly an act of individual defiance against all rules. The article goes into the political effects of this "reflex antinomianism", which have been more than borne out by the subsequent development of internet epistemic silos and the online disinformation economy.
If you can't find that article by itself, it's in the collection _Commodify Your Dissent: Salvos From the Baffler_ and well worth the time to read.
Sounds like the marketing for the Canon EOS Rebel where Andre Agassi was featured.
My belief in professor Dave is solid.
"Professor Dave?" 😂 his highest academic qualification is a master’s in chemistry and science education. He's a con man.
@Sai Sasank in the US, 'professor' is a title given to a mere college lecturer and as he no longer lectures in said institution, he's no longer a 'professor'. Where I'm from, a Professors is someone who has been promoted to the highest academic grade - usually on the basis of her or his scholarly achievements after having gained a PhD. Dave has zero scholarly achievements to date as he has a mere masters degree. He has neither a Doctorate nor a PhD.
Naming your TH-cam channel 'Dave Explains' doesn't quite have the same ring to it, I guess.
@@thor4164 it's a fucking title. you know, like some moron calling themselves "Thor" when they aren't actually even a god of thunder.

Here is the merriam-webster definition of professor, part 2b:
"a teacher at a university, college, or sometimes secondary school"
When I was in college my history class was taught by someone that had a masters degree and we called her professor. There's no other word that would have been appropriate. (I know this is different in other countries).
Also, it's just a TH-cam handle. He can name his channel whatever he wants. This channel has the very best science education material on TH-cam, and it helps thousands of people every day learn the material they need to know for their classes. I've carefully compared it with all the other popular academic channels and this is the best for organization, clarity, and accuracy for learning general science knowledge. This is a free educational resource that people all over the world use. Dave can reach so many more people this way and work to improve science literacy throughout the world as opposed to just lecturing at one location.
You should mention the difference between chemicals ingested vs injected too though. You had a good starting example with formaldehyde, especially considering that the body produces it itself, but neglected to go into detail on it. I think it’s important, as you say in your other videos, to not just plainly say something happens, but to go into detail about the process and the reason you chose it as an example in the first place.
Yeah, aluminum is a neurotoxin and has the ability to cross the blood brain barrier. Considering aluminum is used in many vaccines as the “adjuvant” and the purpose of a adjuvant being a compound that stays in the body for a long time which the antigen binds with so you have a consistent immune response for a long term. Of course, they have done studies to ascertain the toxicity of the dosage of aluminum right? The only study that has been done and cited only tested the toxicity of INGESTED aluminum in adults. They never tested injection toxicity and never did any toxicity tests with children or infants at all. If you seriously try to equate effects of ingestion and injection then you have left the bounds of a scientific conversation.
