Epidemiologists Debunk 14 New Myths About COVID-19

[ADrew]

I respect these doctors for answering such batshit questions with a strait face

[AudoricArt]

God, all of these debunks sound like common sense yet people still willingly fall for the myths.

It just shows how much our education system failed us.

[Kelly-igci]

It’s sad that they had to debunk so much that’s just common sense.

[sumiran]

We should show this to the people who are running the country

[autumnmalick]

Thank you for time stamps in description box!

Myth 3: All schools should reopen became kids can't get COVID-19

Imo, even if they had a very tiny risj, we shouldn't be risking our children's health. Not when online learning is available

[claska]

We had a mask mandate and cases skyrocketed. Not sure I understand how that claim has been validated other than pointing to one case. That’s cherry picking.

[kurosade]

Myth 14: the media is blowing the pandemic out of proportion

Me: looking at Facebook 😑😑😞😑😑😑

[kiriassai]

Random shower thought: We’re living in a disastrous time that teens in the future will cheat about on history tests.

[exese]

here before the coronavirus conspiracists arrive

[JK_JK_JK]

What is the Covid-related mortality for non-elderly persons with no comorbidities?

[morehyeshiahhistorylessons]

I was done at 1:30...
Carbon Dioxide is not meant to be inhaled

[samgg]

Why not wear a mask and stay 6 feet apart forever? Lets be serious about saving lives even those lost to the flu or any other airborne illness.

[vaszgul]

My only advice is for these videos, put more of a space or some sort of audio charm to differentiate between the false info and the correct info, because if someone just puts this audio on without seeing the video, or they are blind, or not looking at the screen but still listening--- then it sounds like the myths and facts are all the same sentence and that it's either all true or all false. There's no auditory signal. There needs to be.

[robbiebelen]

The dislikes are from the Karen’s, change my mind

[saucv]

You guys need to do and update please. I’ve heard of a few people having COVID 3 times and they are vaccinated. I’m vaccinated but I would like more information please. I don’t want to hear a kid on TikTok or Instagram, Twitter give out information. I’ll listen to doctors or scientist

5 months later and we have seen cases of people having covid twice in less than a year. Practice social distance, wear your mask, and stay home when and if you can.

[lilcharmer]

My dad wore is mask everywhere and still got covid, he's fine though.

[MrMisholini]

5:11 holding your hands up when someone sneezes doesn’t seem like a very reasonable thing to do 😯 Droplets can land on your hands and you can still touch your face afterwards.

[spaceman]

Yes look at all these videos of people who had C19 and month or weeks later are having serious mental issues
