Having known a guy who was in a wheelchair for the rest of his life after he got polio - I am very well aware of the benefits of vaccines against diseases like polio. I think the health department of all countries needs to keep explaining the risk benefit ratio to each new generation. Because something is blindingly obvious to a doctor does not mean it is to those not in the medical profession. Thanks for tackling this subject. It is astonishing to me that the benefit of vaccines is something which some people dispute. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
"It is astonishing to me that the benefit of vaccines is something which some people dispute" I agree 100%. Astonishing and sad. Thanks to the Docs for speaking up. Its the only way to turn things around.
I grew up in the time when we took polio vaccines in sugar cubes at elementary school. Seeing people hobbling around with crutches - the people who didn't have access to a vaccine - should make everyone a believer. I am so thankful for vaccines. Any risk is far outweighed by the benefits. Thanks for this episode! Really good information.

In this day and age I find it mind-blowing that a large segment of the population in the U.S. has developed an anti-vaccine posture, almost as a matter of pride and defiance. Count me among the strong proponents of vaccines (and science!). Thank you, docs.
I remember my mum taking me to a public health clinic for my vaccinations in the fifties (Edmonton). I also remember her telling me how fortunate I was to get them. And yes, I remember seeing those paralyzed by polio……..
I was born in the 1960s when polio was still around - my best friend's brother caught it. Thankfully he wasn't completely paralysed, but he walked with a limp all his life. Further back in time, my mother's half sister died from tetanus aged 13 years of age after a simple cut to her hand got infected. These risks are easy to forget, but they are still real. My generation was lucky in having access to many vaccines that helped reduce our vulnerability to infections that previously blighted (if not curtailed) people's lives. This was such an important issue to understand, I listened to your video twice. Thank you for making it so easy to comprehend 🙏
SO good to hear a very informed, matter-of-fact conversation regarding vaccines. I'm disturbed by the fact that important subjects like vaccines have become a "political playground" for some people......these treatments have tremendous value and those engaged in the research, development and administration deserve respect and appreciation.
This was a very informative discussion. Thank you doctors. I began school in the fall of 1947. I had vaccines, small pox, others I was not aware of because of being young. Polio I got in elementary school. Also had my blood type done in grade school. Got my eyes tested. In high school we got polio boosters. I got all vaccines as they became available. I had shingles 2 years ago. It was not pleasant. I need to get a shingles injectable. Keep up the good information..
Doctors and pharmacists in Europe and across Asia were developing and testing vaccines since the 11th century. Louis Pasteur developed the first laboratory produced vaccine in Paris in the 18th century. The vaccine treated fowl cholera in chickens. In 1885 in Paris, Pasteur developed a successful vaccine to prevent rabies.
The most severe vaccine reaction I’ve had was to the chikungunya virus. It was part of a clinical trial. I got a fever and had the worst fatigue ever. My work ordered me not to come in for a week because it was still admist their Covid protocol. Fever and negative test equals stay home for a week.
My aunt suffered from the effects of polio until she died. And she was one of the lucky ones who didn’t end up in an iron lung. Diseases like polio, and other debilitating or life-threatening illnesses, are nothing to play around with. We’re fortunate to have vaccines to lessen the risk of getting them and to reduce the effects of the disease if we do get them.
@TalkingWithDocs Many of our politicians have been or currently part of the medical sciences. They are a needed BALANCE to otherwise ill-informed generally elected politicians.
Conversations about vaccines can get pretty intense. For me, I talk it over with my doctor. So this year I got the flu and covid vaccines but also got the shingles and pneumonia vaccine. The shingles shot was the only one that I was uncertain of since a different doctor told me that since I had a mild case of shingles about 15 years ago that should serve to help my immune system resist a worse or another case. I guess really its a matter of whether your willing to trust science.

Norovirus spreads via the "fecal-oral route" which means (unfortunately) that someone's microscopic poop flecks somehow got into your mouth. So don't touch your face, keep the toilet lid closed when flushing, keep your toothbrush covered, and only eat where you trust the hand hygiene of the people preparing and serving your food. You prevent it by washing your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, making sure to scrub between your fingers, under your nails, and even your wrists. Norovirus is no fun at all!

7 weeks out from LTKR, (NO problems!) have you ANY advice on the Japanese Encephalitis Vaccination, (been advised of it on the news, in our area, here in Australia) should I have it NOW or delay it for a little while as I've read up a bit on infection occuring in the new knee joint, eg dental work requires antibiotics. Have asked my specialist receptionist (who is 6 hours away), and she advised me to ask my local GP, which is 4 to six weeks waiting list to see.
I know a polio survivor, his legs a wabble, adopted from Nfld... My claim to fame is 'not' to have had an ugly telltale small lower shoulder tucked-around bump from a childhood jab, I'll take it!
No smallpox anymore…something that was a worry in my lifetime…now it’s been eradicated thank goodness…all those my generation and older had the vaccine now no one need worry about it.
For some reason with the flu shot, several months later I would get very sick, 103 fever, wiped out. This happened for several years. I discussed this with my doctor and she said let's skip it this year and see what happens. Well I didn't get sick. I have had all my routine vaccines, shingles vax, pneumonia vax, AZ covid vax... No issues. For some reason it's just the flu shot, which I haven't had for about 10 years.
@TalkingWithDocs i know, it was just one of those observations. "ever since I have gotten the fall flu shot, I have been sick as a dog mid winter" And since stopping, no high fever illness. Doesn't make sense. But I have learned through personal experience with shingles, which for me, acted like getting a severe concentration, that it's not always predictable. This one of the reasons anti vaxers annoy me, statistically if hundreds of millions of people are given anything, there are going to be some negative outcomes, so we should ignore all the positive ones?
@@mateslami it's 90% in line with what he says in the first few minutes. RNA is part of the virus, the injection causes an immune response. An all-encompassing definition is difficult and some will exclude passive vaccines or edible vaccines for example. Depending on the audience and the topic as well.
So yes for a few reasons. The mRNA degrades so it doesn’t stay in your body. Side effects to vaccines show up early and there is no historical precedent confirming late consequences of a vaccine to date. And there is ongoing monitoring. People are allowed to be cautious and do whatever they feel is best for them especially as the crisis portion of the pandemic now over. It is a very personal choice. We are simply trying to give people tools to make a decision for themselves
We know that covid is still around and only a small percentage of the population get vaccinated. Still, people don't wear masks, shops and schools are open and no one social distances anymore. I wonder what happened. 🤔
@@TalkingWithDocs Bio-distribution studies below seem to prove otherwise (that it does stay in body for quite some time). As a result, former CDC Director Dr. R. Redfield called current mRNA shots are the 1st without a true predetermined dose. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10812935/ pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10452662 How would you help me regain confidence in Public Health?
Love your videos. Excellent information. Insulin resistance seems to be resulting in obesity that is difficult to control. Interested to hear if there is any good research on insulin resistance. Also turmeric and any nutritional benefits. Thank you.
@@TalkingWithDocsUnless you don't like a question or facts that need explanation. Much easier to delete the reply. That tells me you're "company men."
As one of "those" rare "vax issue" and more people, I look forward to the alternatives being investigated...and hope my crazy immune system allows them. Maybe you could have a good endocrinologist on that specializes on more than just diabetes, to address those with immune issues that attack themselves, and why some of these people never seemed to have severe issues with Covid? Is there anyone working on that?
I received the Flu injection ( shot ) but I was recently hospitalized for the Flu like symptoms plus a viral infection. The nurses said that a different kind of Flu going around?
We can add it to the list. Having said that there have been no identified consequences of the mRNA vaccines using technology that had been in the works for decades. The virus breaks down so doesn’t accumulate or stay around
Amen to answer Benefits vs Risk. I personally feel we all have a different body system. I get a flu shot every yr. I'm 70yrs old & gone through the beginning stages of covid & booster shot. I got sick with that... Then I had a RSV shot in late September. I've been terribly sick with a cold and chest virus. I feel no more shots for me Drs.
Can someone please ensure that the Alberta premier sees this video. Under her watch the Alberta Government has scaled back its promotion of the annual flu vaccination. Actually, scaled back to zero would be more accurate. And we’ve heard nothing from the Alberta Government promoting COVID vaccines either.
For Someone that has not had the Jab and has not been sick thus perhaps has an immunity to coved. Why don't they use that person's blood to try and develop a vaccine?
Half baked, honestly you'd think more people would know that docs slandered chiropractors and chiropractors returned the favour by being anti-vac! My son the non-practising nurse (long as they're doing/studying/why should he be a sacrificial lamb 🐑) even been ✂... Well I chucked with vac book didn't I, had to all be re-done, no reactions = see good mom after all!
I haven't had a vax since I was 6 years old. I'm 68 now. I've never had the flu or flu vax. I had all the childhood illnesses and survived with a Bicuspid Aortic Valve. My body has no need for mRNA for any reason. It's a hard pass for me.
You probably could not write a one page description of what RNA is. And it's best not to have illnesses, sometimes the consequences are damaging or worse. Don't make polio great again. Of the million and a half who died of Covid in the USA, nearly all were unvaccinated.
@@annalane5430 Make Polio Great Again. Funny how so many refusers of immunization still show up at the hospital when their choice causes them not to breathe properly.
I do not understand how your comment currently has 20 likes, as it was obvious before I looked at your channel that you were an anti-vaxxer. After looking, it got worse, you're science illiterate, so much science denial it made my head spin, and then I came upon flat earth nonsense, you're right out to lunch!
What's usually left out of the story is that little Jimmy then had to live with refrigerator magnets stuck to the injection site on his arm - all because Dr Jenner worked for Big Cow. Haha - yes, I went there. (It's a joke in case anyone is confused.)
Thank you for this excellent educational content! Are there any studies that highlight the benefits of vaccination in supporting the full developmental potential of children-both physically and mentally? Specifically, I’m curious about how vaccination might allow their bodies to allocate fewer resources to combating diseases, thereby promoting healthier overall development and getting close to our DNA potential.
Or do the vaccines impact their immune systems negatively? We are the most heavily vaxxed country. Is it a coincidence that we are also the sickest in terms of chronic disease?
@@linebrunelle1004Relaxe Line. Je demande simplement à ces bons docteurs. Sinon, j’irai effectivement consulter les bases de données de recherches scientifiques. Merci!
You don't speak about the HUGE difference between making "natural" vaccines and mRNA-vaccines? The test-procedures for mRNA-vaccines who were not respected? Is this video paid by Bill Gates?
Speaking only of the Flu Shot, Am I correct that the current years vaccine composition is a guess as to what strain will be common that year? Secondly, if I skip a year, will I get that years vaccine included in the next years vaccine? i.e. are the vaccines a cumulative cocktail?
They will tell you how many strains are included, but they use terms with which you may not be familiar. This year's vaccine is "trivalent" - tri meaning three, though often the shots are "quadrivalent" - quad meaning four. In 2024-2025, included are Influenza A (H1N1), Influenza A (H3N2), and Influenza B/ Victoria. The strain Influenza B/Yamagata is not included because it seems to have disappeared during Covid.
So mRNA technology has been in the works for decades. People have very emotional responses to what happened during the pandemic that prevent them from being objective about the usefulness and the future of mRNA technology. Obviously it is a personal choice just like taking any vaccine.
This is not a comment that is nasty. Just my experience. 😊I’m waiting for tax refund in March to get my RSV vaccine. At present time, my green Shield plan doesn’t cover it at all, so cost is $350! Insane! With having asthma and Emphysema, it’s extremely important to get this vaccine. My friend got hers for around $60 as her husband’s extended health covers most of it now. Pharmacists have been commenting that Green Shield is about the worst company for coverage. When I was still able to work, extended health through blue cross had $85 annual deductible for prescriptions. Retire and you get switched over to Green Shield and deductible jumps up to $250! Insane! Earn much less and get way worse coverage after retirement. Thanks gents for informative video. 😊❤️🇨🇦
I have so many allergies & intolerance to so many meds (anaphylaxis and other allergies) that I fear getting vaccinated. Oh and every single time I get the flu shot I get the flu 2 weeks later. The pneumonia vaccine hasn’t helped me (I’ve had it over 2 years, but out of 24 months I’ve had it 17 times or so and COVID 5 times. The pulmonary doctor wanted me to go to an infectious disease doctor and they turned me down. He sent another referral and they turned it down. They said it was a pulmonary doctor job to find out what the underlying cause was. But the ER doctor and urgent care doctor and my pulmonary doctor said I might have to go out of town to find a infectious disease doctor that will take me because there’s so many tests they can run.
The flu shot is to reduce the severity when you catch flu not stop you from catching it in the first place, that's covered in this video. Regarding allergies and intolerances maybe consult your doctor instead of ruling out every single vaccine?
I look at it this way. If your immune system is as bad as you describe, you likely would not be here writing the comment if you had not had the vaccines.
The flu vaccine takes 2 weeks to become effective. Are you actually testing positive for the flu? I’d recommend that you follow your pulmonologist’s recommendations. The pneumonia vaccine doesn’t prevent all types of pneumonia. It sounds as if you might have a pulmonary condition, such as bronchiectasis if you are getting sick so frequently.
As far as my medicine allergies, most of them I had happen while in the hospital for stays & surgeries and also the ER. On a side note: Not long ago, I was in the ER and I told the ER doctor I was allergic to the nausea med he wanted to give me. He said, “hmmm” and told me he was going to try it anyway. They gave me the shot and right after I was out the door to the CT scan. My throat felt like it was closing & I couldn’t swallow well. I started getting big welts on my body. They took me fast to my room and gave me something to reverse the reaction.
What a wonderful presentation! I grew up with that little mark on my arm that reminded me of the poleo vaccination. For more than a decade, I got the flu every odd year. Then I started getting it every year. But I was also working in a building with lots of people and every time someone got sick, it was passed around to everyone else. Luckily I finally got to retire and I don't get sick as often. I got a flu shot the last time I saw my doctor. I'm also not stuck in an office with a couple of dozen other people who get sick a lot. I haven't gotten a pneumonia shot yet. I also haven't been close to having pneumonia. It's amazing how vaccines were created! To introduce something into your body and be able to build up a residence. I remember watching the movie "Outbreak" many years ago. And looking for that monkey that started it, who could provide the cure. Hollywood has given us every possible scenario of annihilation of every human being! Maybe they were just warning us about COVID or trying to make a buck. I just wish they would stop with the zombies, how do you get rid of the walking dead!😱 But I digress, I watched Christmas movies for two months so I wouldn't think about zombies. There's no vaccine to prevent them. I appreciate the vaccines we have! And I appreciate this great explanation!
Covid Booster after one month I got shingle And I heard that lot of people got stoke too Now I am scare of vaccine But I still believe in vaccine but without well study
@@catherinemori4496 NO NO NO, you do it with food like we have done it for the last 5000 years. i.e. garlic, ginger, onion, chilli, turmeric, vitamin D, 7 glass of water, remember this stuff when your great great grandma ate.
Im going to be 100% honest... the "traditional" vaccines i have NO issue with. However ever since the BOGUS covid BS vaccines I am highly skeptical of ANY "NEW" vaccine.
The docs are right. We get them at pharmacies, health clinics, doctors offices but we don’t waste specialists’ time with simple procedures like this…in Canada.
In the US vaccines are generally given during well baby visits. We have a lot of visits that first year. Many pediatricians look closely at the moms and dads in those first visits before it's a baby sitter to see if there is any postpartum depression. They check for the first year, but often see nannies after parents have gone back to work. It's hard when parents have babies in day care and have to take off work for appts.
@TalkingWithDocs Thanks,when you have time! I started taking the blood thinner Plavix! And I've been using Eliqus for a long time! They told me at the pharmacy to avoid Omeprazole! Omeprazole helps my heartburn! I didn't understand the people in the Pharmacy whether I should not use Omeprazole at all or should I take a time interval of 5-6-7-8 hours! Plavix is one pill a day 75 mg!
I stopped taking the flu shot for well over 30 yrs. I got the flu shots 1 times and was out sick as if I got the flu for 3 days. Knot on wood, I’m in my 60 and I haven’t gotten the flu since.

Imagine being in 2025 and having to explain why we need vaccines. We are truly living in the dumbest timeline. SMH. Thanks Docs!
Look through the comments 🤣
7 weeks out from LTKR, (NO problems!) have you ANY advice on the Japanese Encephalitis Vaccination, (been advised of it on the news, in our area, here in Australia) should I have it NOW or delay it for a little while as I've read up a bit on infection occuring in the new knee joint, eg dental work requires antibiotics.
Have asked my specialist receptionist (who is 6 hours away), and she advised me to ask my local GP, which is 4 to six weeks waiting list to see.
I know a polio survivor, his legs a wabble, adopted from Nfld... My claim to fame is 'not' to have had an ugly telltale small lower shoulder tucked-around bump from a childhood jab, I'll take it!
Nice Josee
No smallpox anymore…something that was a worry in my lifetime…now it’s been eradicated thank goodness…all those my generation and older had the vaccine now no one need worry about it.
For some reason with the flu shot, several months later I would get very sick, 103 fever, wiped out. This happened for several years. I discussed this with my doctor and she said let's skip it this year and see what happens. Well I didn't get sick. I have had all my routine vaccines, shingles vax, pneumonia vax, AZ covid vax... No issues. For some reason it's just the flu shot, which I haven't had for about 10 years.
That’s weird that it comes months later
@TalkingWithDocs i know, it was just one of those observations. "ever since I have gotten the fall flu shot, I have been sick as a dog mid winter" And since stopping, no high fever illness. Doesn't make sense. But I have learned through personal experience with shingles, which for me, acted like getting a severe concentration, that it's not always predictable. This one of the reasons anti vaxers annoy me, statistically if hundreds of millions of people are given anything, there are going to be some negative outcomes, so we should ignore all the positive ones?
Hopefully in the next video, you'll talk about the elephant in the room: mRNA jabs and why they're called vaccine.
What about it is difficult to understand?
@Not_Qwake the fact that it's not a vaccine as was described in this video and the need for a different type of "vaccine."
@@mateslami it's 90% in line with what he says in the first few minutes. RNA is part of the virus, the injection causes an immune response.
An all-encompassing definition is difficult and some will exclude passive vaccines or edible vaccines for example. Depending on the audience and the topic as well.
Do you feel comfortable with MNRA vaccines versus standard historical vaccines? Where theres smoke fire is assumed
So yes for a few reasons. The mRNA degrades so it doesn’t stay in your body. Side effects to vaccines show up early and there is no historical precedent confirming late consequences of a vaccine to date. And there is ongoing monitoring. People are allowed to be cautious and do whatever they feel is best for them especially as the crisis portion of the pandemic now over. It is a very personal choice. We are simply trying to give people tools to make a decision for themselves
We know that covid is still around and only a small percentage of the population get vaccinated. Still, people don't wear masks, shops and schools are open and no one social distances anymore.
I wonder what happened. 🤔
@@TalkingWithDocs Thoughts on the number of published studies citing elevated i g g 4 following several doses?
@@TalkingWithDocs
Bio-distribution studies below seem to prove otherwise (that it does stay in body for quite some time). As a result, former CDC Director Dr. R. Redfield called current mRNA shots are the 1st without a true predetermined dose.

How would you help me regain confidence in Public Health?
What are your thoughts on the RSV Vaccine??
Love your videos. Excellent information. Insulin resistance seems to be resulting in obesity that is difficult to control.
Interested to hear if there is any good research on insulin resistance. Also turmeric and any nutritional benefits.
Thank you.
I'm 80yo. When I was young, tetanus shots were for life. Not.
Yes this. The UK doesn’t give nor give them to adults
I am under the belief it is good for a ten year period. Some even say only five.
What is the Covid-related mortality for non-elderly persons with no comorbidities???
Fairly low.
@@TalkingWithDocs "Fairly" low.
Brave guys, thanks.
Ha not really. We like to live in reality and talk about the facts.
@@TalkingWithDocsUnless you don't like a question or facts that need explanation. Much easier to delete the reply. That tells me you're "company men."
I still have limps under my skin, mostly in my belly and legs and arms after my 2nd covid vaccine in 2021. I still haven't received a clear diagnosis.
I meant lumps. My surgeon won't remove my port I used for chemo because of these lumps bleeding when cut.
Thank you! Doctors.
Welcome
As one of "those" rare "vax issue" and more people, I look forward to the alternatives being investigated...and hope my crazy immune system allows them. Maybe you could have a good endocrinologist on that specializes on more than just diabetes, to address those with immune issues that attack themselves, and why some of these people never seemed to have severe issues with Covid? Is there anyone working on that?
We will try and find someone
I received the Flu injection ( shot ) but I was recently hospitalized for the Flu like symptoms plus a viral infection. The nurses said that a different kind of Flu going around?
Yes there are so many strains
The vaccines discussed in this video were traditional. Can you make a video on MRNA vaccines.
We can add it to the list. Having said that there have been no identified consequences of the mRNA vaccines using technology that had been in the works for decades. The virus breaks down so doesn’t accumulate or stay around
Amen to answer Benefits vs Risk. I personally feel we all have a different body system. I get a flu shot every yr. I'm 70yrs old & gone through the beginning stages of covid & booster shot. I got sick with that... Then I had a RSV shot in late September. I've been terribly sick with a cold and chest virus. I feel no more shots for me Drs.
Can someone please ensure that the Alberta premier sees this video. Under her watch the Alberta Government has scaled back its promotion of the annual flu vaccination. Actually, scaled back to zero would be more accurate. And we’ve heard nothing from the Alberta Government promoting COVID vaccines either.
That seems odd
Several EU countries stopped recommending the novel products in the fall of '21 for healthy individuals
Guess they came to their senses.
@@bettysmith807 And your scientific background is what? And where would you put yourself on the Dunning-Krueger scale?
@@BearBreath70 And what is yours?
For Someone that has not had the Jab and has not been sick thus perhaps has an immunity to coved. Why don't they use that person's blood to try and develop a vaccine?
It’s alarming that this subject still needs to be part of the conversation. Let’s go for a discussion on whether the Earth is flat next time.
Which news do you have for CPANHPVAX HPV Vaxination?
Nice to see someone who isn't a veterinarian or half baked chiropractor talking about vaccines.
Trust the $CI€NC€
🤣
Half baked, honestly you'd think more people would know that docs slandered chiropractors and chiropractors returned the favour by being anti-vac! My son the non-practising nurse (long as they're doing/studying/why should he be a sacrificial lamb 🐑) even been ✂... Well I chucked with vac book didn't I, had to all be re-done, no reactions = see good mom after all!
Veterinarians are very familiar with and promote vaccines and they see the devastating diseases in animals without vaccinations.
I haven't had a vax since I was 6 years old. I'm 68 now. I've never had the flu or flu vax.
I had all the childhood illnesses and survived with a Bicuspid Aortic Valve.
My body has no need for mRNA for any reason.
It's a hard pass for me.
This video wasn’t about mRNA. Maybe watch again. But glad you are ok
You probably could not write a one page description of what RNA is. And it's best not to have illnesses, sometimes the consequences are damaging or worse. Don't make polio great again. Of the million and a half who died of Covid in the USA, nearly all were unvaccinated.
Good for you. Our bodies. Our choice.
@@annalane5430 Make Polio Great Again. Funny how so many refusers of immunization still show up at the hospital when their choice causes them not to breathe properly.
I do not understand how your comment currently has 20 likes, as it was obvious before I looked at your channel that you were an anti-vaxxer. After looking, it got worse, you're science illiterate, so much science denial it made my head spin, and then I came upon flat earth nonsense, you're right out to lunch!
Tell us about pox parties and variolation!
Ha
What's usually left out of the story is that little Jimmy then had to live with refrigerator magnets stuck to the injection site on his arm - all because Dr Jenner worked for Big Cow.
Haha - yes, I went there.
(It's a joke in case anyone is confused.)
Oh man
@@TalkingWithDocs It's a joke...
This is hilarious, much underrated comment.
@@mrssmith1691 Thank you. :)
Hi guys, I appreciate your time and intelligence. Can you talk to us about the new viruses circulating in China please? Thanks
Thank you for this excellent educational content!
Are there any studies that highlight the benefits of vaccination in supporting the full developmental potential of children-both physically and mentally? Specifically, I’m curious about how vaccination might allow their bodies to allocate fewer resources to combating diseases, thereby promoting healthier overall development and getting close to our DNA potential.
Or do the vaccines impact their immune systems negatively? We are the most heavily vaxxed country. Is it a coincidence that we are also the sickest in terms of chronic disease?
crawl back under!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@barbarasmith1151I do not see any statistics supporting your statement. Can you provide some? Thanks!
why are you asking the internet? go to a library, physical or electronic that has medical journals. shake your head.
@@linebrunelle1004Relaxe Line. Je demande simplement à ces bons docteurs. Sinon, j’irai effectivement consulter les bases de données de recherches scientifiques. Merci!
Any long term side effects, especially from mRNA vaccine?
Lot's
It depends on the person.@@foxiedogitchypaws7141
"Long-term" is kind of vague for a vaccine that new.
@@disqusrubbish5467 Not true. It has been researched for about 20 years. No issues so far.
Old age.
You don't speak about the HUGE difference between making "natural" vaccines and mRNA-vaccines? The test-procedures for mRNA-vaccines who were not respected? Is this video paid by Bill Gates?
Dear person who's reading this., I don't know you but I wish your days are filled with happiness, health and wealth. 🙏🙏🙏
Speaking only of the Flu Shot, Am I correct that the current years vaccine composition is a guess as to what strain will be common that year? Secondly, if I skip a year, will I get that years vaccine included in the next years vaccine? i.e. are the vaccines a cumulative cocktail?
They made a huge mistake 2024 flu vaccine. Sooooo many vaccinated people came down with Flu type A. Pretty disappointing.
So it is an educated guess. But multiple strains. And no not cumulative
They will tell you how many strains are included, but they use terms with which you may not be familiar. This year's vaccine is "trivalent" - tri meaning three, though often the shots are "quadrivalent" - quad meaning four.
In 2024-2025, included are Influenza A (H1N1), Influenza A (H3N2), and Influenza B/ Victoria.
The strain Influenza B/Yamagata is not included because it seems to have disappeared during Covid.
Gret information. As a retired nurse, I believe in vaccines, just NOT MRNA technology.
Time to get more education about mRNA.
You might need more education.
So mRNA technology has been in the works for decades. People have very emotional responses to what happened during the pandemic that prevent them from being objective about the usefulness and the future of mRNA technology. Obviously it is a personal choice just like taking any vaccine.
This is not a comment that is nasty. Just my experience. 😊I’m waiting for tax refund in March to get my RSV vaccine. At present time, my green Shield plan doesn’t cover it at all, so cost is $350! Insane! With having asthma and Emphysema, it’s extremely important to get this vaccine. My friend got hers for around $60 as her husband’s extended health covers most of it now. Pharmacists have been commenting that Green Shield is about the worst company for coverage. When I was still able to work, extended health through blue cross had $85 annual deductible for prescriptions. Retire and you get switched over to Green Shield and deductible jumps up to $250! Insane! Earn much less and get way worse coverage after retirement. Thanks gents for informative video. 😊❤️🇨🇦
I'm sorry for your experience. It seems almost criminal that people can afford preventative treatment!
Answering questions is tricky because they have not established a doctor / patient relationship with the people in the audience.
Yes it is. Thanks Linda
I have so many allergies & intolerance to so many meds (anaphylaxis and other allergies) that I fear getting vaccinated. Oh and every single time I get the flu shot I get the flu 2 weeks later. The pneumonia vaccine hasn’t helped me (I’ve had it over 2 years, but out of 24 months I’ve had it 17 times or so and COVID 5 times. The pulmonary doctor wanted me to go to an infectious disease doctor and they turned me down. He sent another referral and they turned it down. They said it was a pulmonary doctor job to find out what the underlying cause was. But the ER doctor and urgent care doctor and my pulmonary doctor said I might have to go out of town to find a infectious disease doctor that will take me because there’s so many tests they can run.
The flu shot is to reduce the severity when you catch flu not stop you from catching it in the first place, that's covered in this video. Regarding allergies and intolerances maybe consult your doctor instead of ruling out every single vaccine?
I look at it this way. If your immune system is as bad as you describe, you likely would not be here writing the comment if you had not had the vaccines.
The flu vaccine takes 2 weeks to become effective. Are you actually testing positive for the flu? I’d recommend that you follow your pulmonologist’s recommendations. The pneumonia vaccine doesn’t prevent all types of pneumonia. It sounds as if you might have a pulmonary condition, such as bronchiectasis if you are getting sick so frequently.
@@redhen689 They always tell me it is a different strain of flu than what the vaccine is for.
As far as my medicine allergies, most of them I had happen while in the hospital for stays & surgeries and also the ER. On a side note: Not long ago, I was in the ER and I told the ER doctor I was allergic to the nausea med he wanted to give me. He said, “hmmm” and told me he was going to try it anyway. They gave me the shot and right after I was out the door to the CT scan. My throat felt like it was closing & I couldn’t swallow well. I started getting big welts on my body. They took me fast to my room and gave me something to reverse the reaction.
What a wonderful presentation!
I grew up with that little mark on my arm that reminded me of the poleo vaccination.
For more than a decade, I got the flu every odd year. Then I started getting it every year. But I was also working in a building with lots of people and every time someone got sick, it was passed around to everyone else.
Luckily I finally got to retire and I don't get sick as often. I got a flu shot the last time I saw my doctor. I'm also not stuck in an office with a couple of dozen other people who get sick a lot.
I haven't gotten a pneumonia shot yet. I also haven't been close to having pneumonia.
It's amazing how vaccines were created! To introduce something into your body and be able to build up a residence.
I remember watching the movie "Outbreak" many years ago. And looking for that monkey that started it, who could provide the cure.
Hollywood has given us every possible scenario of annihilation of every human being! Maybe they were just warning us about COVID or trying to make a buck.
I just wish they would stop with the zombies, how do you get rid of the walking dead!😱
But I digress, I watched Christmas movies for two months so I wouldn't think about zombies. There's no vaccine to prevent them.
I appreciate the vaccines we have! And I appreciate this great explanation!
Covid Booster after one month I got shingle
And I heard that lot of people got stoke too
Now I am scare of vaccine
But I still believe in vaccine but without well study
Correlation is NOT causation.
Shingle vaccine is also recommended to prevent severe shingles.
I don't suppose you guys watch documentaries such as "Died suddenly", to challenge your beliefs?
@@polecat7355 Lied suddenly is not remotely a "documentary." There are also videos that pretend the Earth is flat, too.

Why don't Drs recommend boosting your immune system? I've seen 2 in 67 years.
They posted a video about boosting immunity literally 9 days ago
🤣
“Boosting” your immune system is done through getting immunizations!
Yeah we posted a video about that last week 🤣
@@catherinemori4496 NO NO NO, you do it with food like we have done it for the last 5000 years. i.e. garlic, ginger, onion, chilli, turmeric, vitamin D, 7 glass of water, remember this stuff when your great great grandma ate.
I had a teacher who had had polio, and a childhood friend who had measles encephalitis. I will take ant vaccine offered to me.
Im going to be 100% honest... the "traditional" vaccines i have NO issue with. However ever since the BOGUS covid BS vaccines I am highly skeptical of ANY "NEW" vaccine.
геморрой это ослабли мышцы задницы см видео
get your boosters everyone
No thank you.
It’s a good idea for some of the vaccines for sure
You can’t inject health
No. But you can inject to prevent polio. You can’t healthy eat or exercise your way out of polio.
So most vaccinations are given to babys and children. Without these protocols, only about 1/3 of pediatricians would be at work
We would say most vaccines aren’t given by paediatricians. Not in Canada anyway
The docs are right. We get them at pharmacies, health clinics, doctors offices but we don’t waste specialists’ time with simple procedures like this…in Canada.
@@TalkingWithDocs I'm assuming they meant that there would be fewer pediatricians because there would be fewer children.
I'm in favor of giving less work to pediatricians. If kids get sick less, that's great.
In the US vaccines are generally given during well baby visits. We have a lot of visits that first year. Many pediatricians look closely at the moms and dads in those first visits before it's a baby sitter to see if there is any postpartum depression. They check for the first year, but often see nannies after parents have gone back to work. It's hard when parents have babies in day care and have to take off work for appts.
These doctors never answered my question, they hate me especially..
Sorry we don’t have time to answer all of them. Will search for your question.
@TalkingWithDocs Thanks,when you have time! I started taking the blood thinner Plavix! And I've been using Eliqus for a long time! They told me at the pharmacy to avoid Omeprazole! Omeprazole helps my heartburn! I didn't understand the people in the Pharmacy whether I should not use Omeprazole at all or should I take a time interval of 5-6-7-8 hours! Plavix is one pill a day 75 mg!
