You hit the nail on the head. In the real world non echo chamber there is not a lot of vaccination discussion. 100% of the vocal kooks think they represent the majority opinion where in reality they are fringe. The antivaxxers require strict adherence to their so called truth not actually discerning the truth. And the truth is this
Trump saved millions. The original vaccine was quite effective for delta. For a period of 3-5 months when delta, the most deadly strain, was most prominent vaccinated patients did not become critically ill. There were breakthrough infectious but not deadly. I combination with MABs you didn’t have to die of COVID. Deaths were caused by delays in care around the magical thinking of ivermectin and HCQ
As time progressed and delta was displaced and we arrive at omicron which is exactly what we would suspect that there would be evolution of more virulent but less severe strains, the original vaccines became ineffective. About six months ago when i discerned clinically we are no longer seeing LRI and non deadly i stopped recommending vaccination. There is no reason except in very narrow cases
Donald Trump saved lives. The operation warp speed vaccinations saved lives in the most deadly part. But remember trump also gave us wonderful monoclonal which save lives if you didn’t want to be vaccinated. He cut red tape. Painted in bold colors not weak pastels and showed an American guts and ingenuity can do anything.
But for whatever reason our merry band of proclaimed experts who merely follow the same fringe of characters (that’s right Malone, kirsch, Mcullogh) who have never gained traction among the millions of scientists who have looked and this are in fact counter culture. They didn’t like the vaccine. They railed against the MABs saying it had aborted fetal tissue which is a whopper of a lie.
I guess they wanted us to die because of their rejection of the truth. And you are right. If trump wins primary and they don’t vote stating trump is wrong then it is they the antivaxxers who are the problem. Trump might lose 40 people here. He will be fine in the general.
Thank you.
2 questions, are you a “real” MD and did you get the dreaded “jab”?
