This COVID thing should have never resorted to vaccine mandates or lockdowns. If vulnerable people needed therapeutics, there were many that were available--but the Biden White House pressured social media companies to delete all posts, and forced mass media (especially CNN and MSNBC) to use propaganda.
I'll tell you one thing, if I go in for a hot appi, I will NOT be taking a " covid" Test!! No chance! I'm sure if the did it will I was under, it will still show up on my insurance statement and I will Sue!! **98-99% DEET is the Only Way to Go!!***
I spent 5 days w my husband in the hospital in February.He came home on Sunday and 5 days later I tested positive w Covid🥴.Fortunately my insurance covered Paxlovid , but it still hit me hard for 4 days and I’m still trying to gain my strength back. I had had the 2023-24 Covid vaccine in late September so I’m sure my immunity to Covid had waned. So yes i just got my latest Maderna vaccine 9/6 and I am wearing an N95 mask in large groups. My husband is 74, disabled and has chf & afib and is currently hospitalized due to a severe fall that has caused a hematoma on his left calf and a tear in his hamstring and hip so he didn’t get his booster the same day as mine. 3:29
I had dengue when I lived in Thailand as a young school-age child in 1961-63. I was quite ill I understand; I only remember a stabbing pain in my head, screaming, and nothing afterwards. Now, I guess I am at risk for the hemorrhagic version. My son worries about me moving to Florida to be closer to them. Unlike many other illnesses, there is little I personally can do beyond spraying myself before going outside and monitoring my own space for standing water. I do find myself very concerned about the world my 4yo granddaughter is inheriting. Which is why I plan to move there anyway to help them out (getting to your opening dedication) If only we could move beyond making sure the rich keep getting richer, the poor poorer and actually start creating an environment more amenable to long term survival...maybe even thrival. Thanks for the continued updates. I appreciate them so much.
CA in the past 10 years has developed a big mosquito problem. I am in San Diego and we have very small aggressive little mosquitos that can fit through screens/tiny cracks in the side of screens. This is a new thing for us out here. I bought 2 of those zapper lights for my bedroom/laundry area and they work. For a few weeks I was getting eaten alive.
Thanks for a great podcast, as always. My husband had to go to the ER 9/5 for a possible blood clot. Phoenix AZ area. Out of 25 people in the ER waiting room, 4 of us were masked; out of staff in the unit, probably 3 or 4 masked out of about 25 or 30 nurses, doctors, techs. The nurse who did the ekg noted our masks and said it was wise because she said they had high levels of patients with both flu and covid in the ER in July and August. Local news this week said Arizona will commence logging # of covid cases in hospital admissions starting November 1. Led me to wonder why more staff didn´t wear masks. My husband had a covid test as part of the eval--negative. Fortunately, his outcome was good.
I'm so glad they aren't pushing masks! Many people don't even wear effective masks,and those who do, don't change them as directed🤷♀️ And they haven't been Properly Fitted!! (not to mention it's too frigging HOT) and those masks use static to block viruses, so when they get damp from breathing or sweat, they DON'T WORK! At least you'll only be in the upper 90's next week 😊
My Dad ( 95) and I ( 68) just had the latest shot. We had very mild Covid 2 years ago. We don’t mask or socially isolate at all. 2 years ago Dad took Paxlovid despite the mildness of his symptoms. I didn’t take Paxlovid that time but if I got infected again, I would take it.
You are still young. Your father can get as many boosters as he needs, but if you are in good health there's absolutely zero worries. You are more likely to get killed in a car crash driving to work than from COVID.
@@karenkaren3189 Why bother maximizing survival rate from 99.999998% to 99.999999%?? At this point, the harms and side effects _far, far, far_ outweigh any benefits.

one thing that i actually respect about osterholm that i cannot apply to ANY of his peers is his openness and transparency. in addition he doesn’t block people even when they make some fairly wild claims. i vehemently disagree with the use of the mrna, shoddily made medical products but i actually respect this guy. the other 99% of his peers should definitely take notes…
@@Lp78Ch i agree with you that we should have zero tolerance for any of the lies told. people were indeed murdered in hospitals due to those covid “protocols”. nevertheless, the spirit of openness and dialogue is a good thing.
@@nc8444 That's just _one_ of the many LIES told by Osterholm. He also obeyed Francis Collins (like the good dog he is) and shot down the Great Barrington Declaration as "fringe."
After some Mycoplasma pneumoiae infection,and Covid19 at some patients cryoglobuline like antibody,or ,,cold agglutinine,,may occur. At this patients must avoid to decrease lung temperature. Why I used more warmed oxigen mix at body temperature, oxigen saturation increased more and rapidly ( on ambulance)
Good grief. Every time I hear a new covid variant being discussed, it's always "EVEN MORE contagious"... I really begin to wonder if this will end up the most contagious virus humanity has ever seen.
When new subtypes emerge they often appear to be more contagious and spread more quickly than the current subtypes. This is because there is great variation in an individual's susceptibility to each subtype. The new virus tends to take the low hanging fruit first, so the incidence increases initially, quickly falling back the previous level.
FYI: Kamala Harris required all staff members to get the latest Pfizer booster. No exemptions. Maybe that's why over 90% of them either got fired or quit.
@@Lp78Ch I just scrolled down to a post where you called Dr. Osterholm a liar. That post wasn't censored. If you want to be censored, post anything less than worshipful of Mr. Trump on a conservative news site. Let us know how that goes.
@@gardenvariety9957 I don't think you realize what kind of a police state you are living in. Your Trump example shows how blind you are to the entire situation.
Was he talking about the different efficacy of different masks? So one of those surgical masks that puckers at the side very different from a well fitting N95.
Yeah, he needs to qualify "masks". The surgical masks that many hospitals were requiring are less that 30% effective at stopping infection. A well fitted N95 (like Aura) is close to 98% effective against infection. But many hospitals earlier in the pandemic tried to get me to take off my N95 and put a surgical mask on.. ugh. 🙄
Thank you for your thoroughness, and for not giving up when the media and others stopped reporting on Covid.

i am currently very sick with covid. I am on Paxlovid. I am fully boosted. But. last shot was months ago. I am seriously sick. It is wretched.
So sorry, know so many who have been sick with Covid these past 2 months. How many months ago was your last vaccine?
@@sallybrookner4158 hi. Thanks. Last September when it came out. I'm immune compromised. Asthmatic. I will be wearing masks from now on.
So sorry! I got really sick w/Covid last March, still tired. Don't overdo, that's what really knocks me down. Best Wishes!💐
I really hope you're feeling better soon.
This was another superb podcast. Thank you all.
