Your previous video about the flu vaccine and covid 19 is set to private so can't view it. Thank you for all your hard work, its hard to know whats real in the media at the moment and whats been sensationalised, so its great to get the facts with an informative breakdown from reliable sources. You have been a great help during this crisis!

[barbaraduffell]

Very interesting video Dr. John! Thank you for sharing all this information! Always learning. Oklahoma here watching!

[mareikekeller]

Now, that was interesting! I had read about forms of plague on Wikipedia some time ago, but this video makes it much easier to understand how they are different and how one can develop into the other. Thank you!

[twinkletoe]

Thank you doctor for clarifying the bubonic plague status and a history lesson

[Bob-Horse]

Thank you for this John. It also helps to get the message across to the public that antibiotics only work against bacteriological infections and not against viral infections.

[elainemagson]

Such a reassuring voice. I love listening to Dr John.
