Unvaccinated. Never tested. Refused to wear a mask. Deemed an essential worker and never spent more than 2 days away from people. I've never once had a crisis of faith in meaning. I was simply justified in the way I felt about most people around me.

COVID often weakens the immune system. All the people who had COVID will be less equipped to fight other viruses. In addition, long-COVID has had an additional impact. Vaccines and boosters are great . . . and a well fitting N95 or KN95 mask is advisable due to the latest variants evading vaccine or ‘exposure’ immunity.

I'm in southwestern Mexico. in a tourist hotspot. Everyone I know has a 'bad cold', the retirees from the north get tested, and are positive for Covid. We'll see what happens this winter. Diabetes is endemic and fast food hasn't helped.
Thank you for this very interesting interview.

I live in upstate middle of nowhere NY, even as a healthcare worker, they aren't crazy about giving us boosters yet. Meanwhile during the first covid attack, we lost lots of elderly and babies. It's ridiculous that they don't seem to care anymore.

Both a coworker and I used ArtemiC Rescue when we had Covid and we were both well again within 3 days. And recently someone in the house tested positive. I immediately started using the ArtemiC Support covid defense serum and I never developed any symptoms despite having somebody who had tested positive in the house. Of key importance is of course having the ArtemiC bottle in your refrigerator and being able to use it immediately.

In the past I’ve had pneumonia twice therefore I felt very vulnerable to get COVID. Being triple vaccinated, I got it a month ago from my adult daughter who went to a concert. It’s the latest variant and it went to my lungs. Still coughing a month later. Least I didn’t get it in the beginning and die. My worry is the variants will keep morphing and weaken our health

I'm quadruple boosted and have caught COVID numerous times, but I'm grateful for the protection my 6 shots have provided. 😂🤣🤣

In his book he says one way pandemics "end" is we simply get used to a new level of risk that would have previosly seemed unthinkable. It sure seems like we're headed in that direction.

Humans need to leave the space for animals where the origin of the virus comes from whether directly or via from lab. The way the buildings are going up cutting down animal habitats may lead to a different outcome than many of us wish for.

This guy is a sociologist not an epidemiologist. I’d get better advice before acting on his advice alone.

My second booster dramatically improved my overall well being...almost immediately?
Amazing

Why we listen to a sociologist giving advice on Covid, vaccines and boosters.

"Operation Warpspeed" was a PR campaign like "Infrastructure Week", "Really Clean Coal" and "Really Good Healthcare" (to supposedly replace the Affordable Care Act).

My husband and I have 4 shots. We are over 60. We had COVID this week. I credit the shots for very mild infections and paxlovid for my husband. The mistake we had was a 2-day house guest with only one boost who was sneezing/coughing. Other than that we travel, dine out, work in offices, take public transport since Summer 2021. Mask in stores, public transport and elevators.

Humanity is bellow zero. People suffer in silence. More and more. So listen to the silence 😉.
