      If you got covid at all, then you most likely have long term myocarditis compared to the short term IMPERMANENT myocarditis from the vaccine. Do your research, you'll come off more intelligent and informed.

      I'm more than comfortable. I feel rewarded for thinking rationally. By the time it came out, it was clear that for me and for my 11 year old son it was, at best, unnecessary. It wasn't calculus. Faked a vax card for work because it was easy, like five minutes easy, not because I was afraid. Logic beat emotion in every case. What a shock.

      Both sides politicized the horrible experiences of other side. I didn't get vexed and refused to get kids done as well. That said, I was deeply saddened by some of our side's meme. "Comedian dies while riffing about getting 5th booster" and others that supported mandated vaccine dying, being hospitalized, or experienced embarrassing collapse on stage. We should never sink to their level, celebrating the needless loss of a human life. We may disagree with their opinion, but they have family and friends. Some even had businesses that with their loss many employees that had nothing to do with it lost their ability to provide for THEIR families.

    I practiced medicine in Ohio for 38 years. My undergraduate degree was in Microbiology. I have been a lifelong Republican. I followed the development of the COVID pandemic and subsequent development of the vaccines with a lot of interest and purchased a textbook on virology to update my understanding of viruses. At first I planned to get vaccinated, but had concerns about the possibility of autoimmune problems, as our own cells were being used to generate the spike protein. I decided to wait, and had the luxury to do so as I was retired. After hearing reports of blood clots, central venous thrombosis in the brain, and myocarditis, I decided against vaccination with this particular group of vaccines. I did acquire natural immunity after being infected with one of Omicron variants in August of 2022. I am glad that I waited.

    • @MsGarnet77

      It is true that vaccines can trigger new-onset autoimmune disease, however viruses trigger these more frequently and more aggressively than vaccines. Since it is estimated that nearly 78% of Americans were exposed to Covid, your risks were higher not being vaccinated. I urge you to study a little deeper because there will be more viruses and more vaccines. Maybe you dodged a bullet this time (maybe not), but your luck could run out.

      I am not thrilled with the side effect profile of the mRNA vaccine myself. But I am glad, doctor, that you acquired natural immunity with the less virulent Omicrom than Alpha or Delta. I got vaccinated x2 but after Omicron demonstrated a significant decrease in danger of serious illness, I have declined to be. boosted. Also an MD, age 63. So far no obvious side effects from being vaccinated. Got Covid in October of 2022 and it was not big deal at all. Do know people who got infected during Delta, several very ill. One dead.

Instead of him becoming the number one at our CDC, we got a woman called Karin Tegmark Wisell. Tegnell was rumoured to get a hot shot job at WHO. This was all bullshit. They could not fire him. Let's make up a story. The problem with Tegnell is that the man cannot tell a lie. So that became a problem. They got rid of him softly. Damn, I respect him!

    I worked summer school in a high needs 1st and 2nd grade class during masking (I am in a deep blue state). It was a BIOHAZARD. The kids were constantly chewing, drooling, licking, touching, and not wearing the masks "correctly", so the teachers had to adjust them. It also damaged their ability to see the teachers speak, and for the teachers to observe how the students were speaking. Some of these children will never recover from the learning loss, and that is criminal.

      You are 100% correct. I have always blasted schools for what they did to these most vulnerable students. When schools were closed their risk of physical abuse sexual abuse and neglect skyrocketed. They are already at a vastly higher risk for abuse than the normal population.
      When back in school, the policy that children be quarantined for 5 days if they were deemed to have been in contact with a staff member who tested positive for COV impacted disabled children disproportionately. Children with IEPs come in contact with more staff members than the rest of the population of students. Reading intervention teachers, aides, special education teachers, speech therapists, OT, PT, vision specialists. These kids would get quarantined and sent home for a week only to get sent home only 2 days after being back because they were exposed to another Covid positive staff member. It was outrageous.

      My son’s intellectual delay went from a mild one to a moderate one. And only students to get extra help during scam? The ESL ones… and my son is not only one in his class as elementary level got NO teacher education (my son had a mentally disabled teacher’s aid teaching him) should have received paychecks. My state is pathetic & teachers are focused on sexual identity issues 🙄
      We need laws that NO policies can be passed without parental approval by vote.
      Also might need a class action lawsuit as parents as these policies harmed our children.
      One last thought - teachers should be required to pass same test legal immigrants need to pass to receive citizenship & be held legally liable if they teach our children social agendas or discuss sex with our children by focusing on “how the teacher identifies.” Newsflash! It’s not about the teacher & what social issue they want pushed. Their sexual preference has no room in classroom. That’s grooming. Idc if it’s from straight, gay, bi, etc! Leave it in your home! 🙄
      Last - if teachers push falsehoods over ability to change bone structures/body parts to whatever the hell a kid wants? Need laws to remove them from their positions due to psychological issues & teaching children to be delusional… but this can also be under prior… leave your own “opinions” at home. Science shows you are mental & part of the minor group % of population who believes this. Stop… or lawsuits will be rolling in.
      Is this why PTAs were eliminated in schools?

It created such a divide for a while that I became convinced the only way I could change her mind was to do a deep dive myself on understanding vaccine development, research and implementation here in the US in order to be able to engage her in debates (as all the material and info she shared w me up until that point, I realized I could not engage in combatting beyond petty insults and a base narrative I had been fed in support of vaccines).

      I’m not vaxxed and have had Covid 4 times. I was hospitalized once for it, but I refused to take Remdesivir and I survived. Ivermectin, the zpack, supplements, and steroids with an inhaler and orally saved my life. The ridicule I got for being unvaxxed by the medical world and even friends and family, I will never forget. The vaccine killed my father 6 months after his second shot with stage 4 lung cancer in 2021. Earlier that year he had a chest scan and it was totally clear. I’m hearing about all these new “turbo” cancers and it’s true. My mother in law is fighting lung cancer and she received 2 shots. Her husband had an eye stroke 2 days after his second shot and is now permanently partially blind in his right eye. My immune system has always been weak since I was a kid. I’m 45 now, but I am so glad I did NOT get the Covid shot! Thankfully my husband and son didn’t either!!! Natural immunity is way better.

As you say, if you have already based your model on flawed data, and you ignore factors like improved treatment, and above all that the virus mutated into something much milder, then you can make it look like the vaccines worked. I personally wouldn't believe a word that comes from the government or the medical establishment. I am 71, not vaccinated and got covid recently for the first time. I felt very ill for several weeks. But interestingly, not for one moment did I regret not taking the vaccine. But I was filled with rage that those who made this virus are not behind bars. Those people made a virus that is very nasty indeed. Then they made a vaccine that is equally nasty. That's science for you. Why are we not all out on the streets demanding justice?

    REMDESIVIR was given to patients on the ventilators. The main side effects of it is kidney and liver damage. That's why those older patients and the ones that had chronic diseases died. That's why so many were dying. I told my adult children to not let them give me that. My healthy 50 year old daughter got it. I told her not to go to ER. I'm a nurse, retired. She was taking vitamins, she added some of the unconventional meds. She was back to work in less than 2 wks. She told me if I got it she would come and get me.

She had covid at the same time I did. My covid infection lasted eight days, then I tested clear. Her infection lasted over a month before she tested clear.

      @@safeeffective385 I’m realizing that more and more. It’s awful.. a lot of political theatre going on. Time for a real change. Drain the swamp. Theses few should not be allowed to control us and take away our freedoms. Sooooo tired of it!

      @@safeeffective385 I was thinking that when I wrote “vote for the right person”. Do our votes even matter. They pick who they want. Like that many Americans voted for a guy who sat in his basement and never answered any questions, and can’t put thoughts together. I find that really hard to believe. If he “wins” again, that will just confirm the massive fraud. I only know 2 people who like him and they are grossly uninformed. They only watch MSM. SMH!

    I was on the USNS Comfort NYC mission in 2020. Even after separating from service, never took the shot. Damn glad I never fell for it.

    It has been sad to see the bigotry supported by flawed rationalization, especially by those who consider themselves Professional, Academic or better informed.
    Thank you for analyzing and sharing the flawed study.

    I will say the same thing I said on the last video I watched about this study, when they are selecting strangely specific data points, you can safely assume that they _started_ with the expected result and worked backwards.
    Love your deep dives into these type of things, specifically your more wholistic way if thinking regarding these measures.

    What an outrageously egregious paper! Thank you for doing a talk on this. I actually left the Democrat party because of all their bullshit. I will no longer frequent a hospital-based physician unless I really really have to. I don’t trust them at all.!

    Interesting. In all my years, I’ve never been asked my political affiliation at the hospital. It’s never really mattered.
