10 myths told by COVID experts — and now debunked
New York Post ^ | February 27, 2023 | Marty Makary MD, MPH

Posted on 02/28/2023 10:34:33 AM PST by george76

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention weaponized research itself by putting out its own flawed studies in its own non-peer-reviewed medical journal, MMWR...

public health officials actively propagated misinformation that ruined lives and forever damaged public trust in the medical profession.

...

Misinformation #1: Natural immunity offers little protection compared to vaccinated immunity..

A Lancet study looked at 65 major studies in 19 countries on natural immunity. The researchers concluded that natural immunity was .

...

Since the Athenian plague of 430 BC, it has been observed that those who recovered after infection were protected

...

Most Americans who were fired for not having the COVID vaccine already had antibodies that effectively neutralized the virus, but they were antibodies that the government did not recognize.

Misinformation #2: Masks prevent COVID transmission..

...

masks had no significant impact on COVID transmission.

...

Misinformation #3: School closures reduce COVID transmission...

The CDC ignored the European experience of keeping schools open, most without mask mandates.

Transmission rates were no different, evidenced by studies conducted in Spain and Sweden.

Misinformation #4: Myocarditis from the vaccine is less common than from the infection..

Public health officials downplayed concerns about vaccine-induced myocarditis — or inflammation of the heart muscle.

...

Misinformation #5: Young people benefit from a vaccine booster

...

Misinformation #6: ... Biden and other officials demanded that unvaccinated workers, regardless of their risk or natural immunity, be fired.

They demanded that soldiers be dishonorably discharged and nurses be laid off in the middle of a staffing crisis.

The mandate was based on the theory that vaccination reduced transmission rates — a notion later proven to be false.

But after the broad recognition that vaccination does not reduce transmission, the mandates persisted, and still do to this day.

Time for the vaxxers to chime and and tell us the New York Post is not a credible news site and all the “real” studies say just the opposite.

They’re not “myths.” They are deliberate LIES spread by Demonicrats, CDC and other DeepStaters, and the enemedia to give aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States.

“10 myths told by COVID experts — and now debunked”

Correctuin: AMERICAN COVID “experts.”

Even the Europeans would give a “vaccine passport” for people who naturally recovered. There was no caveat allowed in America.

Here are additional lies:

"The vaccine is one of the greatest achievements of mankind," Trump told conservative commentator Candace Owens in an interview on Wednesday.

"I came up with a vaccine, with three vaccines all are very, very good," Trump said in the interview, referring to the Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson shots.

Early on, the VA called me to inform me that I should come in for the shot do to my age. I told the young fellow that I was just fine, and he could put me on the list at the very end. After every one else had had it. I was healthy and would give up my slot for people more in need.

He responded; I wish I could have done that. I was forced to get it...

Informed consent… after WW2, Nuremberg trials established that officials, politicians, doctors (like Josef Mengele) ... could not force experiments on the public - requires that citizens ( not subjects nor kids ) can exercise Informed consent without any force, fraud, deceit, duress, bribes, coercion

Another bit of disinformation was that neither Ivermectin nor hydroxychlorquin were effective in preventing the disease or lessening its impact. Rather, the “experts” even said that one of these drugs was for use only on animals. Recent studies have shown that these positions were, charitably, simply wrong. But, was it just an honest mistake? Was there a need to show that no other available drug could be used to treat Covid19 and thus allow Big Pharma to introduce this experimental shot under an EUA which, among other things, protected them from liability?

There is pretty good evidence that this is true. The number of people who suffer heart and/or lung damage even from mild cases of COVID is quite significant. It basically is damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

Bottom line……don’t get COVID.

It’s worse if you get the vaccine.

It isn’t a news story, it’s an opinion piece.

Then why doesn't Trump say that then? He's had plenty of time to wise up, hasn't he?

Thank you for asking me my thoughts.
I think you will be surprised with my response.

I agree with 1.2,3,5,6,7,9

I disagree with 4. I think that viral and vaccine related myocarditis is probably not clinically significant. There are several studies that clearly demonstrated myocarditis secondary to the virus or the vaccine is generally mild and self limited. Myocarditis is an inflammatory response and systemic inflammation is clearly caused by the disease (SIRS) and there is a sub clinical inflammatory response with the vaccine. It’s the reason why after most every vaccination there is a generalized achiness.

I marginally disagree with 8. I don’t think there is strong data either way there are as advantages to a 30 day second dose that would not be as robust a 90 days.

10 I think there is a long COVID that is 1/5 with alpha and delta but not the others. However at one year chest scans with those who had long COVID there is resolution. So I don’t think it’s permanent.

The other seven statement are by and large true. But they are also questions of politics. Not necessarily medicine. And they had been a consistent statement of mine. I think this is the first disease that has been generally more politically dealt with than medicinally.

I will await the usual nonsense responses but largely the positions in this article are the positions that I have generally taken through this pandemic.
