I did too. Thank you for reporting that promptly. I have made a plan should such a terrible dearth ever occur in the future. I’m going to binge watch past episodes including dr. Griffin’s other podcast, “ Infectious Diseases Puscast. th-cam.com/video/QOkXVQplzRM/w-d-xo.html “. th-cam.com/video/TNhOabH_B9E/w-d-xo.html
Love Dr Griffin’s updates. That is the only POV/data that I trust on COVID. I am interested in a potential replacement for Evusheld that Dr Griffin mentioned
My heart dropped when you reported the rise in auto-immune diseases after Covid. I attended the funeral of a colleague who died of aggressive scleroderma that destroyed her lungs, and another friend just received a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. :( Thank you and all doctors for all you do.
Congratulations... To getting here..please continue educating us who can't afford higher Ed...I hope to become a supporter of TWI V...Munchas Gracias Sir.👍
doctors going to work with covid and mask-optional hospitals are basically eugenics policies. How are people supposed to get chemo without risking their lives? How are people supposed to get surgery or have babies?
Very sick people go to the hospital , the hospital should not risk exposing its patients to Covid disease.. Especially when wearing an N95 properly greatly reduces spread. There is a monetary cost with disposable masks. Mmm, could that be the reason an effective mitigation protocol has been abandoned??? 🙄
If the vax covers you and you are wearing 10 masks and shield, gloves, then you should not worry about what others are doing the vax ate 100% effective and you will never die, so keep getting every 3 months
Excellent episode, as usual. I'd be interested in any commentary Dr. Griffith might have on post-corvid autonomic dysfunction (it goes by several names in the literature). I've read research that suggests this syndrome may also be autoimmune in origin. Have you had patients with this syndrome? Any lessons learned?
Make a plan: here in China Paxlovid & Remdesivir are effectively unavailable. My plan is 'not to get it' again. So N95s and care over socialising (as I had been doing for 3 years). Along with 1.1b I got infected in December (having had 3 doses of Sinovac jabs). Apart from fatigue which got better after 3 months I've had no other sequelae (that I know about). I'm alarmed that mask mandates are being removed for public transport but still in place for hospitals (but yesterday 20% of visitors in hospital were unmasked). Looking at OZ & NZ experience of abandoning Zero Covid measures, they suffered a massive wave within 1 month AND another big wave 3 months later. I'm expecting that 2nd wave soon!
Famous last words! Reports now coming in of the beginnings of a 2nd wave here in China including reports of 42 cases of XB.1.16 Let's be careful out there!
@@RiDankulous Actually, the report in The Lancet 2022-07-15 said Sinovac efficacy of 3 doses at preventing serious disease was 97% compared to Pfizer 98%. Yes 1 or 2 doses were far less efficient than the MRNA jabs.
Thank goodness we still have some businesses who have adapted to “pandemic times” to keep their staff safer from infections in general and their customers who are most at risk. We know for several reasons another pandemic is likely in the future. I think of COVID as a practice run.
I just checked. “Only “ 190 people died last week. Overall a vast improvement from those weeks when it was thousands of fatalities however every life lost is very sad
Have been struggling to get a good answer on how to revaccinate my post auto transplant patients for covid. Now that the monovalent vaccines are no longer available, it sounds like a bivalent booster, then a second dose at least 2 months afterwards. Patients will appreciate the simplicity, and won't miss the frustration of trying to find someone to give them an original vaccine.
Your choice based on your own situation, age, consultation with your prefered GP, etc. For instance, I might consider a booster if I need to spend a lot of time in a high-risk situation like working in a hospital. We don't have to follow Vincent.
The latest data does not show any clinical benefit to continue 'boost' a 4th or 5th time etc. In fact, there has been much discussion about autoimmune events with increased/elevated antibodies, so that could be a concern. Vincent explained he has had his 3 jabs, plus a natural infection, so he is completely topped up, and he said he would take paxlovid if he got infected again. The recent data does not show clinical benefit for him to continue to boost.
@@janephillips6031 Thank you Jane. I have had 2 Astra zenaca, 1 Moderna, and 1 Moderna Bivalent. I have continued N95 masking, and avoid restaurants. I haven't had Covid to my knowledge and it still seems wise to avoid it. Dr. Osterholm of CIDRAP recently got infected and was very alarmed by it and tried hard to pinpoint how/where he got infected. I live in BC, Canada, and got an invitation for another booster. I am 6 months out from last Mrna booster. Also Dr John Campbell who was a beacon of info, now says he won't get any more vaxs. What are us lay people supposed to think?
And what happens to the autounnune people--the people who have been injured by the MRNA's (tinnitus, etc). Where is Novavax in all of this. I am really tired of being ignored by the medical profession and you guys seem to be no better.
For Novavax, I am not aware of any safety signals other than myocarditis/pericarditis, which are at similar rates to Pfizer. Ref: ATAGI statement on the use of Novavax COVID-19 vaccine (Nuvaxovid) Ref: The Novavax vaccine against COVID-19: What you need to know - WHO Ref: Interim Clinical Considerations for Use of COVID-19 Vaccines Currently Authorized in the United States
The autounnune were those we would have protected with swift lock downs and free N95s. If you got it from MRNAs then welcome to the club. Wear that mask and socially distance, for the rest of you life, like those of us who had it before C19 have to.
Unfortunately all vaccines have always had risks to some part of the population. Some of the reactions to the mRNA vaccines are the same as past vaccines. It is unfortunate there has not been enough study about the vaccine injured in general in the past, to help us help the vaccine injured of the present. There are some medical and audiology professionals who are admitting they are seeing “what appears to be” vaccine injured people.
I had terrible withdrawal symptoms without my weekly clinical update.
I did too. Thank you for reporting that promptly. I have made a plan should such a terrible dearth ever occur in the future. I’m going to binge watch past episodes including dr. Griffin’s other podcast, “ Infectious Diseases Puscast.

Take 4 more covid vax, you will feel better
Look forward to these every week. As a parent of young ones it helps me stay on top of things.

You forgot one important word: ....autoimmune diseases after Covid “vaccines”........
They are not vaccines!!!!
Probably the vaccine

Oh good ! I thought you guys had stopped doing weekly updates ! Thank you 🙂
Excellent episode, a lot to cover- thanks!

Regular testing for covid and mask mandates should be enforced in such situations.

You think masks stop viruses? Wow! 😂
@@HappyBagger this is crazy dangerous people channel. So scary...😮

I am glad that you will be having a program on masking. I think that Daniel's background in philosophy will help the discussion.

I’ve certainly had this
@@rbdesigner725 Me too. A high-salt diet seems to help some. Plenty of fluids I'm thinking of asking my doctor for Floriinef.
Please explain what this autonomic dysfunction may present as…thank you.

Don't worry masks are useless on virus

Glad that a series with qualified participants continues!😊
I saw your gathering in NY. Did you mention another one might evolve, bird flu? In people?
Not sure if I can take another one like covid. Buying stock in masks

Hay if the government is going to help fund these vaccines let's get some of the profits from these greedy drug companies or mandate lower prices ! 🙂
Who, exactly, is still dying from SARS Cov2?
Probably mostly the elderly and the sickly but it’s still sad. Their lives had value.
I just checked. “Only “ 190 people died last week. Overall a vast improvement from those weeks when it was thousands of fatalities however every life lost is very sad
It’s not only deaths, but also long Covid and all the other effects of repeat Covid infections.
@@karenkaren3189 Where did you get that information? I checked the CDC online and couldn't find a weekly breakdown of deaths. Thank you.
It was towards the bottom of the report

Better leave it the Mrna vaccine is dangerous and unnecessary
Excellent episode. Thank you
So confused that Vincent won't be getting any more boosters, should we get them? I still can't believe he is refusing boosters 😮
He has no comorbidities and already lived through it once..
Your choice based on your own situation, age, consultation with your prefered GP, etc. For instance, I might consider a booster if I need to spend a lot of time in a high-risk situation like working in a hospital. We don't have to follow Vincent.
well i think he knows exactly why
The latest data does not show any clinical benefit to continue 'boost' a 4th or 5th time etc. In fact, there has been much discussion about autoimmune events with increased/elevated antibodies, so that could be a concern. Vincent explained he has had his 3 jabs, plus a natural infection, so he is completely topped up, and he said he would take paxlovid if he got infected again.

I suspect a lot of unvacinated folk who caught covid are asking similar questions.
