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.
That’s what I’m worried about. mRNA sounded like a recipe for autoimmune conditions to happen. No one in authority was considering that nor the long term problems associated with s sicker society than we already have!! It was completely crazy!
I'm not a doctor but I also saw autoimmune dangers with the mechanism of the "vaccine".
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.
Doctor, I'm with you (albeit not a doctor). Equal rights for natural immunity!
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.
The best part about being a conspiracy theorist is not having myocarditis.
🎯
Not yet…
Lol..exactly bro.
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.
The thing is that all Republicans were saying is that the vaccine is fine just don't make it mandatory and we will get it much later when the individual finds it safe.
my favorite lie from the plandemic was multiple headlines saying "conspiracy theorists begs for the vaccine on deathbed"....meanwhile they were actually being murdered by respirators
and they proved in a study that the cheapo prednisone drug will save 30 percent if taken in the first week (for about 10 days) , I took it when I got covid and felt much better in my lungs, so did my wife. . But you cant make money off a cheap life-saving drug.
I had those flagged as 100% fake. Anyone who is dumb enough to believe such obvious propaganda...well there's nothing I can do for you.
Conspiracy theorist was a term first coined by the CIA to discredit whomever questioned the official narrative about the JFK assassination.
Remdesevere also kill protocol
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.
My dad was completely healthy and never had covid. A week after his 5th shot he died of a pulmonary embolism. Which is a known side effect of the shots.
so sad to hear, what was your Dad's age, may I ask?
I'm so sorry for your loss. ❤
I’m so sorry for the loss of your dad
Wow, 5th shot? Means these walking souls in the gym, stores , schools have 5 shots? Sorry for your loss.
So sorry to hear this.
I am exceptionally comfortable with my decision to avoid the covid vaccine. One of the best decisions of my life.
Same!!
I've yet to hear otherwise from even one non Vaxxer.
My two best decisions were quitting smoking and getting divorced.
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.
Did you spread it to people who died? JK, there's no way you could know.
As an ignorant, unvaccinated Republican with four university degrees and 20 years experience as an academic, I am very happy to have less fear of excess mortality due to the possibilty of myocarditis.
I am an ignorant Republican who doesn't take ANY vaccine. I love being deplorable.
Boy I agree ! I’m 71 ! Never even get a flu jab! I have never got Covid ! I take tons of vitamins eat well exercise everday and only go to Natural path doctors ! Yea I’m ignorant too 😂with a master in computer science and voted for TRUMP also a Vietnam NAVY pilot 👩🏻✈️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Exactly. Who are the dumb ones now! And they even had the nerve to say unvaxxed should not get medical treatments and left to die!! How sick and crazy is that? Those people are truly the danger to humanity. I’m so sick of all the lies!

@@cherlgolja5402 "I’m ignorant too."
Checks out. Not only do you go to naturopath quacks, but you spell it "natural path" so clearly you can't even read what's on their fucking door, lol.
Nurse here. I became wary when they started instructing people to wear bandanas as masks... among other things. The whole thing seemed "off". So glad I listened to my gut instead of the politically driven medical directives. Also... the complete shut down of Ivermectin as a potential treatment option.... knew it was political then.
And hydroxychloriquine and monoclonal antibodies
The US Government did more to stop the distribution of Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine than they did fentanyl-just think about that.
You mean that horse paste?? LOL How can anyone expect to be taken seriously when they expect you to believe one of the most prescribed human medications in existence is nothing more than "Horse paste"??
If they had recognized those treatments as effective, they would have been denied the Emergency Use Authorization. The EUA allowed them to skip all the usual testing required for FDA approval of a new drug. But there was no conspiracy. None whatsoever. Uh-huh.
Smart
Yes, while working at a hospital, I always ask the dying patient what political party they belong to.
😂😂😂
I love you
Didn't have to. Just ask them if they got vaccinated or not.
@@operator8014 Which doesn't prove the relation.
@@cstgraphpads2091 Not prove, but give them the confidence they needed to treat you like shit anyways because they felt they knew.
This is a great way to blame excess deaths on the enemy , and get away with murder
This is psychological gas lighting
well put
I’m not trolling, promise but what “this is the this you’re talking about. This podcast, this response
To Covid? This paper he’s talking about. Unclear
- gaslighting is psychological, this is political gaslighting.
Well one side is willing to kill to win the other side is conservative
EXACTLY. high order psychological operation...
I would say that I have no trust left for any of the people that perpetrated this attack on humanity.
Same
I think cocreating a parallel world which places ethics, humanity, truth, equal justice before the law, the end of privileges and pensions for all public servants and decreasing the size of governments, and public/private partnerships.
We need meritocracy rather than equity. Imposing equality makes us weak, if we abide the coercions.
There will be no justice or ‘closure’ until every single member of the World Economic Forum is punished without exception. We can use the ‘AI’ they are planing to persecute us with to hunt them down and find all their assets and contacts.
And Pfizer’s own data shows the absolute risk reduction from the “vaxx” was a mere 3.7% not the 95% which is relative risk. That was very misleading to the public!! There were so many falsehoods coming from pharma and medical authorities. People were duped! So who is smart now!
Same
Same.
I was very happy that you mentioned Anders Tegnell. As a Swede I am so grateful for his calm and sanity. I will tell you something weird that happened in Sweden. 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! He helped Sweden and stood tall against hysteria.
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?
I am utterly disgusted that a "medical" paper makes any reference to ANY political group. This has nothing to do with medicine or science.
"The science ™ "
This isn’t medicine, it’s a cult , total evil and corruption. These people follow Satan
DISGUSTING
Propaganda paper.
@brettanderson6743
Most of the propaganda that came out from the so-called "experts" on public health had little to nothing to do with actual science. That's why I will never listen to any of their bullshit again. The whole thing was to get their pedophile into the white house which has made the entire country much worse off.
Anecdotally, I'm over fifty and I haven't had any vaccines or shots in over thirty years, I rarely get sick, I didn't catch covid and I'm very healthy. Oh, and I voted for the last two Democrat presidents which will never happen again.
We cannot forget what the democrat machine + the pub health institutions were willing to do during covid and beyond.
I am a 47 yr old physician… I never got vaccinated… I had COVID three times and had mild flu symptoms at most… if I wasn’t tested for my job, I’d never had known
Individual cases mean nothing. i don't personally know anyone killed in a motor accident. That doesn't mean anything about how many fatal accidents actually happen.
@@smkh2890, Of course, it does, my voice and all of our voices matter, certainly more than a corrupt doctor publishing propaganda that he is trying to pass off a legitimate science.
Just like my individual rights and freedom to choose my healthcare matters.
Go apply your obviously biased and weak logic to the science and funding behind this study, it is wasted on me.
@@chadbouterse8617 Interesting but not surprising, let me ask you, do you think the test were accurate?
I had two of my sons get sick at the same time, one tested Covid positive and the other negative twice. BTW both were given the Covid jab.
I would like a study on the doctors that threw out their Hippocratic oath and refused to treat people.
"A virus so deadly you have to take a test to see if you have it."
I have to disagree with Vinay's claim that this paper didn't prove anything. It proves that the disease infecting politics, corporations, education and culture has metastasized into true science.
Well said.
“The” science.
These studies are of excellent value, there is another one coming soon comparing Covid vax take up to those who emit various levels of CO2…..or was it hot air? 🤔
@@rira8952😂😂😂😂😂😂
It’s studies like these that show me that science doesn’t operate in a bias vacuum . What a shame
I am a republican former Californian. I did get the vax because I work at a hospital. Well I had a vaccine injury from the first set of vaccines in December 2020. I will not get any more boosters. I am disgusted by this paper.
It grieves me that you were manipulated and the rest of us were pounded by propaganda during this pandemic.
It seems that a medical research doctor seeking death or glory - just not his own death - and big pharmaceutical companies seeking healthy profits and not healthy people, conspired to achieve their objectives with convoluted strategies planned over decades and executed with no moral compass in the face of planned collateral deaths.
But I trust you are able to rid your body of the spike proteins, something we all need to achieve; whether from the Covid19 virus or the mRNA inoculation jabs.
Best Wishes,
Keith
I hope you are alright
Did you feel negative effects after the first one or was it only after you got the 2nd one that side effects showed up?
I got two shots and a booster, mostly because of social pressure. I felt sick for the next year and found out I had elevated liver enzymes for the first time in my life. Finally, after taking massive doses of nutritional supplements, I feel better but dread getting another blood test. I'm afraid if I see a doctor, s/he'll assume I have a substance abuse problem.
Liberals are criminals
I never denied people's decisions to get the jab just leave me alone and respect my decision not to. After all 'my body my choice' ! I am one of the few who have not had covid, my triple jabbed friends have had it several times. I would have held out forever, I don't compromise or give in to bullies.
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.
Before covid ever happened, I found myself deeply uncomfortable with the cultural discussion about anti-vaxers, and I mean the old school people who wouldn't get the measles vax, people were very comfortable dehumanizing and deriding those people and I've never met someone who changed their mind as a result of that type of humiliation
I am ashamed to say that I was one of these people myself who was more than comfortable with dehumanizing and vilify people who I deemed “idiotic & irresponsible” for being “anti-vax” & the only thing that even broke me out of that widespread echo chamber was having a sister who decided not to vax her firstborn. 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).
Boy, was I so, so, so deeply wrong, and I continue to be proved that the more information I review, especially since this whole COVID vax debate entered the wider conversation. I have apologized to her and also learned something very important: It’s okay to be wrong. It’s okay to change our mind. And it’s okay to ask questions and search for more information on topics we don’t truly understand or know.
@@ovirago8314 that's awesome
Edit: awesome that you came around I mean, everybody loves a redemption story
Before covid I had several friends who were part of this debate on social media. I actually scolded them. It amazed me that someone might have a question about a vaccine, like measles, and instead of informing the person they were called dumb and stupid. This attitude that someone anti-vax is an idiot is still held even more today.
@@ovirago8314I fully vaccinated my first child per CDC recommendations through 6mo old, when he suffered an adverse reaction. It was the first time I ever thought to take a good, hard look at vaccines. I have four children and only my first has medical issues. My other three children are unvaccinated and thriving! I only wish I had looked into vaccines before our first was born. I'm not ashamed to say I'm an ex-vaxxer.
My father was technically a genius, he was validictorian in medical school. He was involved in the tuberculosis pandemic. He became a cardiac surgeon and chief of staff at the last hospital he worked. He did not get vaccinated. There you go. Still living in his eighties.
oh man that's amazing! Time to ignore all the science and data because this guy's dad is defiantly the rule and not the exception
@jamez2918 No, he is the science. You are unaware of traditional c d c infection control protocols from fifty years ago- I guess you're too young.
@@susansilvey1614 I can read the Data, groups that don't vaccinate e.g Republicans have had a huge spike in excess deaths. Believe it or not, i don't want Republicans to needlessly die or suffer pointless health risks
@@jamez2918 so appeal to authority except when authority disagrees with your preconceptions
@@gregthebaritone What appeal to authority are you even referring to? you cannot debunk data with anecdote...
I am unvaccinated and never got Covid, the last few years was tough for me as a member of this society, but I am healthy and never needed to see a doctor.
I am not republican or democrat, common sense is the key.
Covid doesnt exist
Don't forget, common sense isn't common.
Then it sounds like the Democrats have the least with that theory 😂. I have to agree because maybe there is a link between conservatism, self preservation and common sense. Those who are ‘conservative’ tend to accept a form of common sense. In my humble opinion of course.
@ArtisChronicles @@youtubesucks8995 I feel like some individuals just want to keep people busy fighting with each other based on different labels. For example, a rather fast way to discredit someone is to label them a "conspiracy theorist." "Conservative," in my humble opinion, is a mindset that upholds some common senses that have been proven to work. However, with the evolution of technology and the changing world, especially the efficiency of information exchange among people, some old ways of managing things are actually going against common sense, for example, letting a small percentage of people make the decision to vaccinate the whole world in the name of "it is good for you" is nuts.
Fyi by refusing to be identified as Democrat you have clearly landed yourself in the Republican wing in the minds of leftist academics at elite universities like Yale.....
If you dare to think that government even occasionally doesn't have the answers/solutions to individual/societal ills then you don't know how to be governed by the elites graduating from universities like Yale.
The most important thing I learned from my statistics course in college was how statistics can be used to justify an argument. The professor emphasized the importance of considering the data sets and presumptions used to create the report.
As I recall it's one of the first things you learn (or used to) about statistics.
Lies , damned lies , and statistics is the quote
🌹Exactly, stats can be manipulated!🤭
If their intentions were good, they wouldn’t have to lie about every single thing.
I work at a university and we had a vaccine mandate. I applied for an exemption and it was granted. I was required to test though. And guess what? I had over 200 negative PCR test results. Meanwhile, most of my vaccinated co-workers came down with COVID. But somehow I am the leper. Even though I didn't get it during this time and haven't since (that I know of).
Could it be that you continued to take steps to reduce your risk of exposure while your vaccinated co-workers went back to “normal” activities that increased their potential for exposure?
@robertvandeveer1846 Good question. I was out and about. I did, though, finally get it recently. It was the same as a bad flu. It's annoying but not worth shutting down the country over .
I've never had the flu. Neither had my spouse or children. I can't remember a time when either of my parents were home sick any length of time
Earlier on, briefly there was some information that came out saying certain Blood types were less likely to even get infected. And it was 5 of the main 8 blood types. And we all had those blood types.
In Feb of 2020 China said that one particular blood type had a worse outcome. So I researched what blood type Chinese people have. I couldn't find them specifically, but I did find something about blood type distribution for Asian people.
They have only 2% of their population that would be less likely to get infected
Since my last flu shot left me with a vaccine injury, I don't plan to take another. Especially since I don't get the flu..
This is exactly what my husband has gone through. Not ONE test was positive and the people he works with who were fully jabbed were sick constantly…but didn’t have to test because they had ‘obeyed’ and got the jabs. Nothing makes sense anymore. It does if people realize it isn’t and never was about science but compliance.
@@recoveringsoul755my mom's friend had guillian-barre from flu shot, she made me promise to not get injected. I believed her. This was 35 years ago. Thank you Olive 🥰
Thank you. I am a PhD candidate in the basic sciences. I am not a Republican, I’m a libertarian, but the bias against conservatives throughout research and academia is palpable and we need more unbiased, level-headed folk like you to call it out. I appreciate it.
Reality is biased against conservatives
Republicans happen to have the correct world view which is Biblical. Republicans are also against most of the Covid Nazi measures.
The scientific process will advance very slow when thinking outside the box can be detrimental to your career.The scientific process was developed by the few people who didn't go along to get along.
That's for sure. I don't consider myself "conservative", but seeing how far "left", "anti-free speech", and crazy things seem to be moving towards, esp. in academia is very concerning.
Glad people like you are navigating through, trying to deal with it, and hopefully will brighten Academia again.
Wishing you much success, and fulfillment in your field.
That's the problem this country is having now this regime and its followers are blaming everything that's happening on conservatives I'm sick and tired of thus BS from the demoncracts.
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.
For the life of me the only reason I can think of to experiment with Remdesivir is that it was expensive. Why use a faile Ebola drug that didn’t finish the drug trials because over 50% died.
As a medical professional myself as well as a former clinical instructor the last few years have amazed me. The behavior and attitude of so many of my colleagues has thoroughly changed my outlook on the entire profession not to mention our msm.😞
Took me exactly one year ago to catch Covid. My husband and I got it at the same time. We both did about the same, other than we had different symptoms, which kept on changing in a matter of hours. We are both unjabbed. We are conservatives but didn't follow any political fad or directive. There were no directives. We simply gave it considerable thought and decided we would rather deal with the disease than the vaccine. We were both 73 and were sick for one week. The following week we went on a vacation.
You have never given anything "considerable thought" in your entire life.

"taking the rim off a basketball hoop".......that still makes me almost cry.
The one thing I’ve learned throughout this pandemic? Question EVERYTHING! I hope whoever the next president is, puts Dr. Prasad in a high position to repair the integrity of the CDC, FDA, and NIH. It will take years to gain any trust, if at all. Thank you Dr. Prasad.
Yes we need someone like him to restore integrity… if that is possible. I have little faith in the medical community. It’s really sad though.
I don't trust him, he's pro vax.
I have heard a little about the Doc in Florida...Not sure what's going on with him now.
Always remember this quote and hold it close to your heart: The truth does not mind being questioned, but a lie does.
they are all bought and paid for now.
your health is not their priority
I’ve heard from countless individuals that regret getting the jabs, who stopped getting more.
And I've talked to hundreds that have had zero, and not even one regrets their decision.
In fact, the vast majority agree that not participating in this is one of the best decisions that we’ve ever made in our lives.
All that I need to know, right there!
I got zero and I am so grateful I chose not to get the jab. I am not an anti-vaxer and it wasn't political ... it was common sense. How you can you rush a vax that normally takes 10 years in 6 months ... what did people really think or perhaps they weren't thinking??
I haven't heard from some people who didn't take the jab. But that's because they can't talk anymore.
@@marcelobarros5729 Throughout the pandemic I've been in touch with many homeless folks and homeless outreach people in Denver, SF, Oakland, Monterey, Santa Cruz, Portland, Seattle, Miami, Chicago... also Brazil, Canada and England.
They all attest to the same thing and that's that their local homeless populations are doing just fine (all things considered).
And no, they are not typically jabbed up, they don’t wear masks, socially distance, etc.
If covid was all that we've been led to believe, there is no possible way that they wouldn't have been largely wiped out a long time ago.

Thank you for recognizing the humanity of Republicans. That is increasingly rare these days.
I recognize everyone as human. ❤Unfortunately some of the legislators who say they are republican don’t always recognize the humanity of my LGBTQ family and friends. ❤
@@alisonf6478 Aside from disagreeing with the moral assertion that same-sex attraction is good, and beautiful, and natural; how do these supposed Republicans (who in 2023 are a vanishingly small portion of the GOP, if they exist at all) fail to recognize the humanity of LGBTQ people?
You cannot have it both ways. You cannot pretend to recognize the humanity of everyone, while at the same time condemning someone for dehumanizing a third person by disagreeing with what the third person believes is right or wrong. If the target of your opprobrium is dehumanizing others by disagreeing with them, then you are doing it too.
If Republicans want to be seen as humans, then they should start to display humanity towards others. Otherwise, they should continue to be treated like the animals they seem so desperate to act like.
@@evarchavex4800 Again, you cannot have it both ways. You cannot pretend that your enemies are acting like animals because they refuse to worship your idols (they disagree with what you believe to be true), when you also refuse to worship theirs. If it is dehumanizing when others refuse to affirm your priors, what do you think it is when you refuse to affirm them? Either we can disagree and still see others as human, or we can't. But if we can't, that's an internal flaw, not a fault in the other person.
I like how hard he has to think about taking a shot. I thought for 1 second and said no.
I'm so relieved I stood my ground and didn't have the covid vaccine. A very good health choice! The argument that it saved millions of lives Is based on modelling which has been shown to be flawed. The harms caused by these vaccines has been denied and ignored. I pray the truth will be known and justice will be done.
So how did it save me. I'm still alive, and so are millions of other unvaccinated people.
Truth! I'm so glad I didn't get it!
I don’t know if the truth will ever be known for certain, non-randomized studies aren’t reliable for various reasons
Technically you don’t know for sure what would’ve happened to you personally if you hadn’t gotten it. Many people didn’t get the vaccine and only ever got mild covid. That’s why it’s so important to have good RCTs so we don’t have to go around relying on anecdotes
Thank you for that comment. There are reputable doctors (Professor Raoult of the IHU Marseilles) who say that the people who were going to die from covid were elderly, obese, had comorbidities and these factors determined death, before the vaccines and after the vaccines. 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?
Sadly, I’ve lost so much respect for the medical industry. My doctor, at 61, developed Alzheimer’s between the 1st & 2nd shot to the point where she went from practicing medicine to wheelchair bound with a 24-hr. aid within a month. It is heartbreaking. I never went back for the booster.
Oh, that is heartbreaking! I have read other posters on youtube say the same thing about getting a booster.
First Pfizer shot was fine, booster not so great.
But, I do know someone who has had every shot under the sun for covid, and is doing great! He had terrible health stuff going on (prostate, lung stuff) just before covid, so didn't want to take any chances with anything.
Is in totally great shape now!
It's so weird. It's like a crap shoot or something.
@serpentines6356 some of the shots were just saline, so some people got lucky.
That's genuinely horrifying!
Me too when I was studying psychology to write my papers I had to throw out published papers that violated apa guidelines, as well several of them seem to have been political treatises.
The public were being used as guinea pigs that is why they had to scare the shit out of the public the uglier the best.
Well done to all of you that just felt in your spirit that something was wrong here after the bombardment of false information out there.
I salute you.
Thank you for your intellect, rational logic, personal integrity and calling out obvious error. Thank you!
I remember being a fellow at the Mayo Clinic during this time. My co-fellow got frustrated with me because I said how stupid the rule of an unvaccinated person can't go to a meeting, but they can still share the same, smaller office with other people. Also they distributed cloth masks to employees.
The more education you get, the more you need to revaluate basic common sense. It's like you buying carbon capture machine for millions of dollars and someone else just planted a tree for a few bucks.
go up to any random crackhead on the street. an actual crackhead.
then lie to them.
then try to convince them something is true after you lie to them.
100% of the time they arent going to believe you.
but supposedly highly educated people in this country will believe absurdly obvious lies after being intentionally deceived a dozen or more times.
the educational system, in particular the medical system, in the US, is really a cult. it has very little to do with actual science or reality.
Right!!!
Yep. Good point. I am sooooo frustrated with so much nonsense.
If someone is vaccinated, but is freaked out about being around the unvaccinated, well, then what was the purpose of the vaccine?
(Oh, and of course, men are not women). 😅
@@serpentines6356 I constantly said that the vaccinated were the worst kind of anti-vaxxers since they took the vaccine -- and didn't believe in it either. 🤣
Thanks for addressing this Dr. Prasad. You are certainly correct that in this political climate this sort of blatant bias is considered perfectly acceptable/commendable. It’s wrong no matter which political party you align with.
He needs to have his license revoked.
@@PresidentofAntifa says the muppet...
The thing is that this journal is now an official source for academic papers.

Thank you for your knowedge and integrity, especially your honesty. Canada.
Unfortunately, we live in a society where “common sense “ has left the building . 🤔
More like Common Sense was kicked out of the building.
Well, more then that, it seems that people follow the crowd more easily (or did they always) and have no ability to think for themselves.
I must say it's nice to hear a doctor, who is speaking about this issue logically, as opposed to emotionally. Much appreciated.
Hooray 👍👍👍👍👍👐
I’m a statistics thesis consultant, a student did a study like this with data out of California. They cried when it didn’t reach statistical significance or have any identifiable relationship between voter registration and number of cases reported. They also asked what they could do to make it significant. Smh.
I would have laughed if I wasn’t so floored that this person was getting a MA in public health.
Hope they got a lesson in integrity.
Thank you for your sane and thoughtful response. I am a Republican unvaxxed.. My political party had nothing to do with my decision not to be vaccinated. I felt uncomfortable with being forced to do something I deemed unsafe. The vaccine reactions and adverse events do reveal that it was high risk to submit to this vaccine program!
I beg to differ. Your political party reveals you are a practical, thoughtful person who does his OWN RESEARCH and lives in REALITY, not in a Leftoid fantasy world. Kudos, bro!
@@StarShine-Ranch,I am a conservitive and an antivax person! I was advised by my doctor not to take the shots because I have twenty four alergies and since no one knew what they contained it was best to say no. I was screamed at, ignored ,excluded and treated like a criminal. I have had covid twice and the flu was worse. I believe they will lock us down so we can't vote in person and they can control
The election!
@@StarShine-Ranch political party? you mean cult
people would look at me crazy when I would ask if they checked the VARES rating of the the medicine they were taking...the sheep will be sheep
@@StarShine-Ranch And we supposed your sort of research is 'Whatever Trump says is the truth of the universe'? Of course republicans think for themselves. At least when they're not bending over and taking whatever Trump gives them.
A doctor who keeps his own personal political views separate from his practicing of medicine, not afraid to tell the objective data based truth, and truly wants to "do no harm".
In actuality, the Hippocratic Oath does NOT contain the phrase, "Do no harm."
The author of the oath did write that phrase, but not in the oath itself.
Virtually no medical schools even use that oath as originally written anyway. Many graduating classes write their own woke version.
Where do you practice, I want you as a doctor? I don’t trust the health care system one bit and I work in it.

Your compassion for mankind is refreshing. The respect you give to all people regardless of their political or socioeconomic status is extremely admirable. I’m so happy I found your channel.
Vinay, I've been watching your videos since maybe early 2021? Who's to know. But my goodness, I could not be more grateful for you. You are incredible. Please keep doing what you're doing. I am just so beyond grateful. And honestly, I'm speechless. So, all my best, Maria
It's amazing to me that these kinds of "studies" even get published. I think these medical journals are in par with People magazine and the Weekly World News and should be sold at the supermarket checkout stand.
Nothing says “trust science” like salivating over the thought of your supposed political rivals dying.
American seems to have become excessively political over the years
@@stultuses It's the new state religion.
Just to add to all the other hearsay statements here that provide no evidence for their claims: I have not been vakkinated against Covid-19 and I regularly die from the virus, at least once a month. Plus my brother did get vakkinated, and he has now grown another head.
@@stultuseseh, in world terms it's not necessarily so bad. A lot of countries seem like people get along only because the dominant faction almost completely suppresses dissent. This is the norm in Europe as far as I can tell.
@@stultuses The US has been a profit-driven, warmongering corporatocracy (and not a democracy) for at least several decades now.
I’m unvaccinated and whatever I’m doing appears to be working out, the pandemic is over and during it I got 2 mild colds, 1 of which may have been COVID. In any case, not getting vaccinated doesn’t appear to be affecting me negatively.
Thanks Dr Vinay for this, we appreciate your work and for speaking out.
Before yes, but now after the pandemic I surely won't blame anyone for not trusting the gov or news outlets
“NPR: soothing voices mean we’re always right!” Remove federal funding and let these hacks succeed or fail on their own.

Just for the thumbnail alone. Your face said it all. Thanks Vinay!! Job well done yet again
Thanks for breaking it down. The "study" didn't appear well thought out, and you nailed all the reasons.
Australian excess deaths are huge. Highest since ww2.
From Jan 2022.
We're a Highly vaccinated country and politically left, even left of the Democrats.
And we had quite punitive restrictions on the unvaccinated resulting in 90% + Vax rates
And they were all mandated to get the jab against their will. They also have a 60+ decrease in birth rates. That’s a real tragedy too. Hmmm I smell a pop rat!
The left is a danger to society. They terrify me.
No they aren't. They're only a few percent above the baseline. The UK and US are well over 10% due to infection before vaccination resulting in ongoing disease taking out those who sidestepped protection.
The Democrats are a right-wing, status-quo, establishment corporate party that says they are 'left'. North Korea calls itself the Democratic People's Republic though they are not democratic nor a republic and in no way is 'the people's'.
Can you name anything 'lefty' the Democratic Party has done n the last fifty years that was not performative and self-serving ????? Take your time.
No one in my family took it, we are all alive and happy enough said. I no longer can put my trust in these people again. I see whats happening to those who did.
You are the best!!!! Thank you for this analysis! And for your work in general!!!!❤❤❤
Stumbled across this, pleasantly surprised. Very good commentary, subscribed.
How much more obvious can their attempts to divide people be? "they" being politicians in general.
I watched Chuck Todd break this propaganda story, he was absolutely giddy talking about the excess deaths of Republicans, people have been consumed by their parties, at the expense of logic, reason, and to be blunt their humanity.
What's scary is that there's clearly a bias towards democrats at the top of most industries. I'm not a republican but I'm also sure as FUCK not a democrat. I don't like when things aren't fair and democrats aren't playing fair right now, at all. Why is every company and industry leaning so heavily towards democrats to the extent that they'll vilify, shame, and outright insult republicans and conservatives? What the hell is going on there?

@@MK-ih6wpThey we’re horrible people. Can’t even call them leaders. Trudy’s e was a tyrant who truly ranted on and on about “unvaccinated”as if it’s really a vaccine!!
Oh Dr. Prasad, I’ve often found myself hoping one day you will be running our CDC or FDA. But then I woke up and realized that our corrupt system will never allow and honest/integrity filled/intelligent man like yourself to be anywhere near the head of a government agency. But a girl can dream, I guess. Thank you for everything you’re continuing to do. We desperately need the truth.
Interesting. Thanks for bringing this out.
I contracted covid this past December. At that time I was 80 years old. I had chosen not to be vaccinated. My wife, who was also 80 at the time, had been vaccinated. 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. Our choices for or against vaccination and mask wearing, was based on our individual health experience over our lifetimes. We are both planning on living to our late eighties according to actuarial tables.
Also, Republicans tend to be older (because with age comes wisdom 😉)
How true! I was raised in a die-hard Democratic family, but when I was old enough to understand how our political system works I decided to register as a Republican. I'm a registered Independent now because BOTH parties love their Big Pharma money. I will vote for Trump in 2024.
I don’t trust both parties too and I’m independent.
I remember at the time there was discussions around the lack of medical care outside of large cities (size of facilities, staffing and distance) being a large factor, looks like they worked out a way to spin this once again to Dem's vs Rep's.
@@shannenmr Sadly, so pathetic.
It used to be, Hey, what's going on here, and how can we improve it?
What happen to the demoncrats when God was passing out they're asleep that's why they have no common sense.
I always appreciate your honest takes. I'm just an independent thinker, I've had health issues since the jab. All I want is to get out of healthcare because politics has ruined it.
We probably need people like you in healthcare all the more, because of it…
Oh, that breaks my heart to hear that.
Other poster is right. We need good, concietious people in every profession!
It certainly seems to me it's the extreme political left that is pushing politics into everything for several years.
Love that you dare to call that report a POS which is what it is. I appreciate you and what you do.
Thank you for all your hard work and information. Just found you.
If a liar is caught lying, they will lie themselves out of it if they can. They won't admit what they have done, I can, with confidence, state that.
Thank you, Dr Prasad, for continuing to be a voice of reason and sanity🙏❣️
You are a great educator ,Well spoken 🤔🤗 thank you.
Thank you for doing this investigation.
They WISH...
Yep, which makes them the monsters they claim the "others" are.
True projection.
They do wish…ha ha ha. It is so silly and they don’t see it!
I can't remember the exact quote from star wars, something about "your hate will destroy you" as they sit fuming we survived, while denying even to themselves what caused their myocarditis, several other autoimmune problems, T-cells exhaustion and igG4 class switch 😮.
Oh well never mind "my body my choice", call me granny killer again 😂
Thank you, Dr. Prasad. The fact this video, today, still has the ubiquitous covid 19 cdc link by CZcams says its not over. Please continue to address related studies.
Send them feedback on that CDC link. I do every time I see it.
At first I thought you meant an 'umbilical cord' linking to Covid cdc site, everytime someone 'opposes' or speaks out against their narrative, I could picture it though, lol. It's their baby.
Thank you for raising all of those questions. I am really learning a lot from listening to you.
Keep up the great work doctor Prasad! I enjoy how you break down how people are being lazy defending their position and does not hold up to fair scrutiny. Thanks helping explain what the public is thinking opposed to what the establish are claiming
This is so sad but not surprising. I’ll never trust the medicine political machine again.
I’m not a republican but I wouldn’t want to live in a country that has just one party.
It’s bad enough we only have two.
Imagine how little of the truth regarding Covid would have come out under one party.
A case could be made that with the known percentages of which party comprises the vast majority of the media, we ARE a single-party country for many practical purposes. Just something to think about.
Trump lied, thousands died.
We are more at risk of one party now the republicans are dying en mass to preventable illnesses.
Here is a list of the single-party states:
North Korea, China, Vietnam, Cuba, Laos, Eritrea, Sahrawi
not the kind of company I want to keep, either
At this point, I think we would be better off without parties, just a popular vote, and the government sponsors a series of debates of the candidates. They can have a website displaying thier bio but no advertising.
This video was created to troll a segment of the population that I for one, am proud to be a part of .No regrets 🎤💥
Thank you for this logic.
I very much appreciate your ability to separate your politics from your science. It's strange to say that, but such is today's world. THANK YOU.
I'm one of the many Democrats who left the party over this nonsense. I saw early on there was no science involved. I saw the censorship, coercion & "let them die" nonsense. well, I would go back for Kennedy tho.
DeSantis vs RFK Jr would be a win / win for me.
You don’t have to go back, just vote for the right person.

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 contracted covid 19 in fall 2020. Needless to say I had not been vaccinated. Day one had sore throat, chills but remained afebrile throughout. Intial symptons were cramps and diarrhea. I had been taking vitamin D supplementation starting in Jan 2020. I also started to take NAC 600mg daily over that summer. I added zinc and quercetin when I became infected and took those for five days. I also increased NAC to 1800mg daily in divided doses for anti mucolytic, anti inflammatory and anti thrombotic effect. I continued NAC at the higher dose for six full weeks. I did lose my sense of smell which returned slowly starting within a few days, cough was dry and non productive and started in week two of infection never involving lower airways. The biggest symptom was fatigue that plagued me for about six weeks (60 year old white female). Needless to say i wasnt about to sign up to be vaccinated for a virus I had just recovered from. As the pandemic and vaccine campaign evolved I became aware of the risks and limitations of the vaccine as well as the attenuation of the virus. It simply made no sense to vaccinate. Being a nurse though I was eventually forced to take an earlier than planned retirement. I guess you can say i was guilty of the sin of following the science
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.
Thank you!!! This is a very thorough analysis.
Thank you for bringing the facts.
So they did a "study" on THIS? But not masking children? God help us.
Garbage in, garbage out.
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.
Thank you for standing up for objective thought and not being afraid of the liberal hivemind.
I will never trust the medical "community" again.
But I love you, Vinay 😊
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.
