Not to stir the pot, but the first German who had the Coronavirus identified in his system (early April) was brought in last week for a anti-bodies test to determine how much ‘protection’ he still had in his system. Today, the results came back....no anti-bodies left in his system. So he had about 120 days of protection and can now catch it all over again.
Shouldn’t you be interviewing someone more in the field rather than a pediatric urologist?
“With all the hysteria, misinformation and just overall questionable coronavirus-related media coverage”

I was skeptical when I read that opening, figuring the writer had dug up one of those Youtube quacks selling his personal surefire cure for covid-19 and whatever else ails ya.
But, to my surprise, the Dr. here is quite informative and thoughtful with his answers - good, interesting read.
This part lets China off the hook...
“...I do believe the virus was likely already here as early as August to October of 2019. ...”
Or does it; could it have gotten loose/been let loose earlier than Dec 2019?
I totally agree!
“I do believe the virus was likely already here as early as August to October of 2019. Many people have talked about the worst flu they ever experienced last fall or early winter and wondered was it COVID-19? Keep in mind, their presentation of symptoms may have been different than what we are seeing now. Until more people have antibody testing, it’s a guessing game as to the percentage who already have immunity.”
Based on personal,family and friends with heavy duty flu crud, I would say basically from early last fall up to New Years.
It was sexist and hit us puny males more often and harder than our strong, sturdier and healthier women. So what’s news?
The doctor’s mask talk was interesting and quietly makes this point:
If masks worked, all businesses and schools would be open.
Unless there is a different agenda...
I’m not sure what to make of that. Our bodies are pretty smart. We are well designed and our bodies don’t waste resources. The fact that our bodies have decided not to maintain eternal immunity to COVID suggests to me that COVID isn’t a dire threat.
Frankly this whole COVID thing has me marveling at the genius of our design. The complexity of our immune response, ongoing for millennia and beyond without our awareness. Only recently do we even have an inkling of it. I have a feeling that for all of our advances we’re still at the very beginning of understanding how well designed we are.
the thing is- if he only had 2 tests- both could have been faulty- or the 1’st could have been faulty, then the second test if it wasn’t faulty, would have shown no antibodies
Did he actually get sick with the virus? Or just test positive on the first test?
he doesnt mention surgical masks are not masks made to prevent infection because they are on purpose, not form fitting
he doesnt have breathing problems with them because 30% of air goes in and out the sides of surgical masks
surgical masks are to prevent exhaled products dripping/falling into the patient
comapring those masks to others and saying ‘i dont have a problem breathing’ is unequal comparison
It’s rare to test positive if you haven’t had the virus at some point. That said, some early Covid pcr tests as antibody tests have been inaccurate so it is possible. The prelimiary studies I’ve seen suggest no lasting Covid antobodies fwtw.
Same here.
By “it” you mean the sniffles?
At this time, it’s hard to say
At this time we are not certain
To say there’s ‘no danger’ depends
It’s a guessing game as to the percentage
Basically, he does not know. Kinda like Doc Fauci.
He is not a pediatric urologist. He did my operation when I was 50 or so, having prostate cancer. He is known to be very accomplished, if not brilliant, and is apparently not prone to hyperbole. One additional question I have is how long does the virus’ RNA last in your body. If I had it two months ago, but get tested today (for the virus, not the antibodies), I would still show positive if I still had virus RNA in my body, and I am counting as a ‘new’ case. The focus on cases is ridiculous for a host of reasons. Increased testing, changing methodology, reporting probables as positives, etc.
‘If he is willing to lie about this why should anyone listen to anything else he has to say?’
he didn’t lie; he responded to a question with his opinion, which is what he was asked to do; but do carry on with your silly rant...
I’d say it’s not a stretch to say “getting clicks” is what pays the bills at the media outlets. So, no problem for me with that observation.
Besides, his area of expertise is in the medical arena instead of being a media analyst. I’d look elsewhere for media criticism.
