You're joking right? The origins of Covid doesn't matter? We need to know what happened so we can stop it from happening again. It's not about the blame game. We need to have a discussion about gain of function research and if we should be doing it at all and if so how it should be done.

When people say science, they mean their side of political science.

[chickenfishhybrid]

On the subject of "China phobes" I believe most people have no issue with Chinese people, the issue is with the Chinese government/CCP. I realize that it can be hard to be sure of people's intent and criticisms can easily be confused but I think it's important because that type of talk has been used to silence people who were trying to speao out about the lab leak hypothesis needing to be on the table from the beginning.

Wanted to bring to light another travesty in the Pandemic. Border states to Canada have shown great compassion in offering extra or unused vaccines to Canadians. Even set up process where Canadians travelled just across border, were given vaccines and returned to Canada. Canadian government has put in place regs to basically eliminate this. Limited media reporting on this. If government can't supply vaccines they shouldn't be denying their citizens.

This Dr. Makary is amazing. After he spoke the truth they came after him- AND HE IS STILL STANDING! He is actually one of the few real heroes! Oh and ZDOGG you've been so helpful too!

[lisagoodman]

Man I loved this talk with Dr Marty SO DANG MUCH!!

[morwenna]

I work in animal health and I've said since last year that if APHIS were in charge of getting the pandemic under control, we would have had it nipped in the bud!

[gabyramos]

Honestly I noticed that some Drs have lost their humanity when treating patients during the pandemic.They see you and in less than 10'mins your out the door with meds and they have forgotten to ask"how are you". Touch is needed and is yearned. 🙏🏼

Thank you ZdoggMD for the unadulterated scientific truths as always, and for being Alt Middle! I'm a Family Doctor from Malaysia and I've been watching your videos for the longest time. It took me forever but I've finally gathered my guts off the floor and started my own Medical Youtube channel too (only posted 1 video so far with close to zero likes and zero comments). We need more medical Alt Middle voice leading the way in communicating kindness to combat misinformation. Been thinking of joining the Supporter Tribe but being in a different time zone means I can never catch a Live Video anyway... Maybe some day. Cheers!

Since when has any medical treatment/ intervention not had unintended consequences? It’s rare. Please include that in your risk assessment of vaccinating children. It’s not a non factor.

They used the half dose in each vial to make up full doses in the UK.

Proud Z-Pac supporter here (RN from New Jersey)!!! ZDogg, ALL of your videos are always so enlightening and for that, I thank you for everything you do and for all of your hard work pushing for healthcare 3.0!! I bought and read Dr. Marty Makary’s book when it first came out and read the book in one day! I could not put it down! For anyone who thinks that they understand the culture and business of medicine, READ THIS BOOK!!! Dr. Makary, I truly respect and admire you and your tenacity! Thank you for everything that you do!! #zdoggmd #thepricewepay #supportertribe

I love Marty’s vantage point. Thank you so much for bringing him back. I watched all of the interviews he did on local Fox News stations. And he stayed the course when the whole thing was politicized and I sensed he was talking ‘across the aisle’ with that audience and I found it really respectworthy

[karenhorton]

LOVED this! Ordering the book now!
Thank you! I am an RN x about 40 years-so many things I would love to make better & have always felt overwhelmed at the prospect of really making a difference. So grateful for you & your guest-hope we can all join in!

[patriciaperkins]

Just got Doc Marty's book. I loved this show, admit some bias as a Hopkins alumna! Great to hear so much joy and laughter. Thanks, ZDogg!

[cindybogart]

This is such a great interview/ discussion. One of the best!! Thanks for this. So much truth is spoken here. Very refreshing. 💫. It’s nice to laugh after this covid stuff.

[cleanerclimate]

Listened to this on 1.5 x and it was epic. Cheers Z Dogg and Marty McFly. Champion pow-wow.

[kevinpheley]

The vibe is real with you two. Awesome!

[tactileslut]

Appreciating the subtle panning difference and perfectly matched timing between the microphones.

We "Conspiracy nuts" could have told to who what where and when months ago because the first story broke by independent Chinese journalists whom also went missing.
