00:00
people who are overweight people who are
00:02
older
00:03
have dysfunctional immune systems as you
00:06
get older you have something called
00:07
immunosenescence
00:08
and if you have a chronic disease your
00:10
immune system doesn’t work as well
00:11
if you’re overweight which is by the way
00:14
uh 75
00:15
of us and 88 are metabolically unhealthy
00:17
um
00:20
you know we have um a lot of people who
00:22
are at risk for the vaccines not being
00:24
as effective
00:25
so the people who need it most to
00:27
prevent getting sick the people needed
00:30
most
00:31
to prevent ending up in the hospital or
00:33
in the icu
00:36
it may not work um so and and then of
00:39
course if we
00:40
do have that vaccine and the vaccines
00:42
are used there are vaccines which
00:44
actually create an antibody response
00:45
but it’s not protective we also have so
00:48
little science for example on the
00:50
vaccine on the antibodies we don’t know
00:53
if you get coronavirus and get
00:55
antibodies if that protects you
00:57
for a long period of time or if you’re
00:58
going to get sick again so
01:00
some things like the measles vaccine or
01:02
tetanus you know it’ll last for 10 years
01:04
or last for
01:05
a long long time maybe last for your
01:06
lifetimes for these vaccines
01:08
these kinds of respiratory viruses it
01:10
doesn’t work like that
01:11
how much money do they give you oh my
01:13
god i didn’t get any money
01:15
i’m not getting any money um
01:19
i just i feel heartbroken that people
01:20
are so polarized
01:22
i’m not getting paid by anybody i’m not
01:24
influenced by anybody
01:26
i’m just looking at the science as best
01:28
i can and as you know i am not
01:30
a conventional doctor who thinks a
01:33
conventional way i’m i’m trying to look
01:34
at what do we need for our society
01:36
get getting getting back to normal and
01:39
by the way there are a lot of things
01:40
that are not being talked about that are
01:42
really important to be talked about that
01:43
are nutritional strategies that are the
01:45
right supplements that are
01:46
oxidative therapies that are being used
01:48
all over the world that are
01:50
really potentially very effective
01:52
whether it’s vitamin c or glutathione
01:54
or nad or even things like ozone trials
01:56
going on in europe
01:57
there’s 800 people being enrolled in uh
02:00
trials and
02:00
26 hospitals on ozone with remarkable
02:02
effects i’ve talked to some of the
02:03
researchers there so a lot of
02:04
things that i believe would be the
02:06
answer to covid and prevention
02:08
as well as treatment and recovery but
02:10
but certainly um
02:11
you know i don’t think vaccines are
02:13
going to be the panacea and i don’t
02:14
think they’re going to be
02:15
this incredible thing that’s going to
02:17
solve a problem put everybody back to
02:18
work fix the economy and make everybody
02:20
safe
02:20
because uh one they they may not be 100
02:24
effective and and they’re typically not
02:26
uh two they’re also uh may not work in
02:29
the people that need them
02:31
three we’ve never really had a coronis
02:33
fire exchange scene so
02:34
we still really don’t know even if you
02:36
get any bodies which some of these
02:36
studies are showing if they’re going to
02:37
work so
02:38
and for we’re doing it so fast that
02:40
we’re going to end up you know treating
02:41
millions of people in sort of an
02:43
uncontrolled experiment that i think is
02:44
concerning now
02:45
if you’re at high risk um if you are
02:49
concerned
02:50
would i say you should never get a
02:52
vaccine no i’m not going to say that i
02:53
think certain people should
02:55
but i don’t think it’s going to be the
02:56
universal answer uh to the problem
02:59
you know i think being you know it’s
03:00
like pro or anti-vaccine i think it’s on
03:02
pro science
03:04
like let the stata talk let the data
03:06
show us what’s true
03:07
uh let’s look into what’s really going
03:09
on instead instead of getting
03:11
uh you know all hooked up in these
03:13
conspiracy theories and i mean
03:16
uh it’s just unfortunate um and i and i
03:18
do and i do by the way
03:19
i do think that that um you know there
03:22
are people who are at risk for vaccines
03:24
uh and i and i would say that that we
03:26
should be conscious about this uh
03:28
there’s a whole
03:29
department at mayo clinic for example
03:31
about
03:35
about vaccinomics vaccinomics is
03:39
the science of personalized vaccine
03:42
treatment in other words not everybody
03:44
who gets a vaccine is going to have a
03:45
problem
03:46
not everybody who takes a certain drug
03:48
is going to get a side effect
