Vinay, It is too bad you do not read this. Many of us will not/do not listen to podcasts; we are visual, not aural learners and have trouble abiding the inefficiency of minute for minute information exchange.
But we never want to miss your content. You can get auto-transcribers (most Substack authors have them) that, while not perfect, are good enough to transcribe the podcasts so they are fully understandable. Most podcasters post the transcriptions simultaneously with the podcasts -- they do not really need editing...we know the kinds of minor mistakes they may make.
It would greatly increase your reach and that would only be a good thing. Thanks.
I like her penultimate statement, look at the DATA and never mind all the rest. Sadly, the final statement broke that rule.
Looking at measles data pre and post MMR vaccine simply does not show any massive change in rates. I'm only mid 50s and had all 4 of the common childhood illnesses of the 60s 70s. In a school cohort of 2000 kids, there was not one single sequelae.
It's dishonest to fear-monger at the MMA vaccine being so crucial in life. It isn't. Measles, Chickenpox, Mumps, German measles. Their effect on quality of life in the western world was very close to zero BEFORE the MMR came to be. Let's stop the fear-mongering.
In fact, these illnesses have the side benefit of creating synchronised societal immunity and reexposures keeps peoples immune systems active, as with the shingles, it was kept at bay by reexposure. Today in the school systems, children have traded no those measley viruses for much bigger LIFE LONG problems, food sensitivities, multiple allergies, food intolerances, life intolerances, asthma, various immune conditions, kids must live in a bubble because their immune system is SO HYPER SENSITIVE. A full half of students these days have these lifelong problems. Let's advocate for small diseases to be ok, they make us stronger.
As for polio, that's ONE eradication attempt I agree with, because polio created a very high ratio of lives ruined. But the other viruses, no, they were simply never really an issue and should never have been subjected to mandates.
If the risk of myocarditis is low, on vaers is 0.21% per Dr. Sharff. This means the risk of myocarditis is greater than the risk of a young person being hospitalized or dying from covid. Risk benefit says children and young people should not be getting the shot. I'm surprised she's vaccinated both her children.
Hi Dr. Prasad, I follow you regularly several places. I have a deep concern. I have two young male relatives that I am concerned that they have myocarditis. Maybe you would not diagnose it as such. What I’m seeing is that after the vaccine they are no longer able to work hard and run and do heavy duty exercise. I have one other young male relative that I am concerned about his symptoms as well. None of these have gone to the doctor. In other words, The symptoms are not so debilitating that they can be ignored by proud young men. How many young people are suffering lower than normal physical activity ability levels after these vaccines. Our numbers are not reflecting these unreported adverse reactions.
I continue to be frustrated by the lack of considering prior asymptomatic infection in vaccine recommendations. I have taken care of elderly people, one lady who had flu like symptoms in the fall of 2021 and never sought medical treatment. Covid antibodies tested positive in the spring of 2022. Another lady took care of her Covid ill husband at home and never had symptoms. When I checked her antibodies they were positive and she was never vaccinated.
Jay Bhattacharyas early community surveillance testing in May 20 20 showed that asymptomatic Covid in the community could be as high as 60 or 70%.
At this point, what does it even mean to say that somebody didn’t have Covid? Does that mean they didn’t have a flulike illness in the last two years? Does that mean that they never tested positive for Covid or were never tested for Covid? Does that mean that we tested their blood and found no antibodies?
Hello, sorry to use this communication channel but seems impossible to reach Substack for this kind of comment : Substack should envision kind of bundle subscription. I agree that good info must be paid for but there is a limit to my budget !! Thank you !!
Is the risk for myocarditis higher from the vaccine or from contracting Covid? The stories I see are from kids receiving the jab. Any links for data regarding this?
What most astounded me is the fact that hospitals tend to report date of diagnostic rather than date of symptom onset. That seems ludicrous!
But then again when I got pregnant the first time I knew the exact date it happened, because it was the only date, and the hospital insisted on the menstrual calculation, which was off by three weeks, and probably why I ended up with a rather rare and terribly annoying "false negative".

That would answer some questions.

Very interesting stuff as usual. I like to hear people really going into real world data and understanding what's happening.
