[@tatersinger]

Thank you, Dr. Jha, for saying that we need to de-politicize vaccines, and health in general. I'm a retired respiratory therapist, and I can tell you that if I'm taking care of a patient, their political meanings do not influence what choices are made in their care. Btw, I recently had covid for two weeks. I bought two new tests from two different manufacturers. At day three of my symptoms, I tested negative with both tests. At day 5, I tested negative with both tests. On day 6, I went to a walk-in clinic that prescribed me a medrol dose pack and zithromax. The walk in clinic informed me that they do not test for covid at their clinic ((??). Three days later, my husband stars to feel crappy. He tests with one of our covid home tests and comes up immediately positive, so I take a test. A week and a half into my nasty symptoms, I test positive. WAY past the point of qualifying for paxlovid which helped me immensely two years ago. Did I have a head cold first, and then acquire covid from my husband? Or--did I have covid all along and it took a week or more for the antigen to be prevalent enough for the tests to register positive?? Thanks in advance!

[@pb4ugo19]

Random, but I applied to a respiratory therapist program. I was so excited, but now I'm nervous because a former student said they lost half of the class when she attended. Is this the norm from your experience? Any advice for school or the career in general?

I still use an N95, on the bus and inside, when not at home. This Fall, I plan to get the new, reformulated mRNA vaccine. That would be #5, for me. It's not a big deal. We file our taxes once a year, so a vaccination once a year is okay with me. 🤔 As far as I know, I have not had COVID-19.

I’m a “long Covid’er.” I ran my best 100 mile race, a few weeks before I got Covid. Smh. And, have yet to return to the same performance level as pre-infection… I randomly get unexplained fevers; I, have had several severe infections (salmonella/multiple sinus tortures), that my body could not handle on its own! Im still running hundreds-but, as an athlete, dang it! I wish this had never happened to me!

[@SowingSeedsWithChristy]

Asking as a person who has issues with auto-immunity - do you have any auto-immune conditions? I feel some of us may fall into that category of people who have had our immune systems over-activated by COVID that have not yet normalized. I wish more research would be done on this. P.S. Congrats on that milestone!🎉 I understand why you would want to get back there, but no one can take that from you! And it may well be your unique indication of returning to full health so you're lucky in that way.

[@StumblingThroughItAll]

Jha doesn't address the clearest failure in the US with regards to COVID, focused protection. Early on in the pandemic it became *VERY* clear that COVID was not an equal opportunity killer. Yet US public health policy treated it like it was for years after the clear data was available, and claimed expertise at the same time. i.e. Masking all children in schools (as young as 2 years old) through 2022, with cloth masks. This was absolutely crazy for anyone who had any grasp of the scientific data at the time. Yet I know of multiple schools who were taken to court by our state's public health department to punish them for not enforcing masking sufficiently in their schools. I spent hours on the phone with our public health director who communicated to me that kids in schools would not be safe until kids could be vaccinated. This was deeply unscientific.

[@celinek5422]

Young women are most at risk for severe long covid actually

Have a great day. Been following you for many years all the way back through all your heartache,through everything…. You & Andrew are great people !!! There’s people all over, that appreciates and loves both of you…

[@SowingSeedsWithChristy]

Curious - Are you saying that you'd you been in Idaho during the pandemic and never caught COVID? If yes, do you think it was because you were you doing best practices (sanitizing, distancing, masking, etc.?) OR perhaps due to you having a natural immunity against it? If the latter, then that is fascinating, and perhaps could be beneficial for the entire world to know. Can you imagine YOUR blood being used as the basis for a cure or prevention against COVID, and perhaps it's variants? And, yes, COVID is spiking again here in CA (7/2024). Be well!

[@Alenetworknow]

I no longer saw my comment that I posted here yesterday about what the VAERS vaccination data actually reveals despite all this guesswork and politicization of science!

It seems to me that the KZbinr brought someone who confirmed his personal convictions. The guest did not even present any data to prove his ideological statements.

[@royasandoval]

I will give you an on the ground experience. As a county elected official, I depended on our county health director for accurate, up to date information. During the Trump administration, there were weekly phone calls between the governors and the administration (Mike Pence). The information from these meetings flowed down to the county health directors and county officials. We were always in the know as to what was happening and changes, recommendations etc. Once Biden was elected, those calls stopped and the flow of information stopped. At that time I spoke with our county health director and he was very frustrated. He said, "We used to be very up on things, but we are now pretty much operating in the dark on our own."

[@mattyr40]

What they get wrong? Errrrr everything.

[@1963BOS]

I live in a small town in Kansas and work in a small nursing home that had 35 residents. Covid hit our building 2 weeks before vaccinations were available to us. We lost 13 residents in 10 days. It was a nightmare something i will never forget. Covid is real.

[@SowingSeedsWithChristy]

QUESTION please - Are present-day COVID vaccines and boosters now rendered pointless since the arrival of variants? Or are there still some benefits to getting the vaccines/boosters? Or are there benefits moreso for certain populations such as the elderly? This was not definitively discussed though I truly appreciate that you did this topic. I fall into the auto-immune community who would like l very much like some research done on how COVID affected/affects people like me. Thank you!

Chris, good morning. So, my question is, does anyone else in your immediate family have long COVID too? I’m the only one in my family to get long COVID. I live about 3 miles from the Kirkland Convalescent Center. I use to run by there daily. I ended up with COVID because I was in the hospital for something totally different. I found out after the hospital had COVID patients. 🥴Good news is.. I lived. So, why was I lucky enough not to die. Especially because I have MS? Stay safe. I miss your walk and talks. Great show ♥️

I had recovered fully from covid and then got vaccinated because I thought it would protect me from future infections. Instead I was injured. So many nuances though and different lived experiences.

To date I still know 0. Yes. 0 people who have died from this virus. And that includes my (at the time) 75 year old unvaccinated, diabetic, cancer survivor father. And this was in 2020, before the watered down Omicron flavor became available. I have had it at least twice that I know of. So yes, maybe there was a time at the beginning where there was a surplus of people getting sick from this virus that were most likely very close to death already that even a stiff breeze could take them out, but this is still going to be seen (as I said at the time), the greatest overreaction to anything ever in all of human history.

[@tatersinger]

You're fortunate to not know anyone who died from it. I know three who passed from it in the first wave. Three 40-something year-old musicians who played a large, private wedding. Two were brothers. I knew some others during the delta variant who were hospitalized from a few days to three weeks. Only one of them were in their 60's, and he didn't have any co-morbities. He was on a bipap in the hospital for 20 days. He was tall-thin, and the picture of health. I hope that there is research being done to figure out why (in some cases) seemingly healthy, middle-aged people with no co-morbidities became very sick with covid. Was there a genetic predisposition? I, too, also knew some people that survived it that I thought for sure would not survive it. Having said that, everyone I know who had at least two vaccines got through it o.k. after the Delta wave. And, I know a lot of people.

[@ciscokid0110]

I don’t know anyone either in our whole town of 2200+ and small surrounding towns. Those I know who got the vaccines were the ones who got it the most and were the sickest. Also, the tests stink and give different results.

[@berniceestrada1366]

@@tatersingerquestion, the people that you know who died was in the first wave? I am asking because when Omicrom came, majority of people was vaccinated and got covid. However all my unvaccinated friends and I who I am not vaccinated got mild covid as well. During Delta nobody was vaccinated it was hard to compare. Viruses with time get more virulent but less mortal, plus by the time the vaccine came a lot of people had covid so it made them inmune.

Yeah, this guy is being too gracious. Anthony’s error wasn’t that he was confidently speaking about things that had yet to be proven. It was that he was actively lying to the American people because he didn’t trust them to make the right decisions. Lie #1) Anthony admitted that he told the public masks didn’t work because he didn’t want the supply to run out for first responders. Lie#2) Two weeks to flatten the curve? Please. The virus had only been in the US for 2 weeks and anyone with a science background would have realized that nothing short of a vaccine would slow the spread of the virus. Anthony wasn’t ignorant, he was dishonest. Other mistakes include but are not limited to: 1) By March of 2020 we knew that the predominant risk factor for dying was age. Had we quarantined the elderly instead of locking down the entire economy we would have had much better outcomes, socially and medically. 2) Masks may work for medical staff that ensure proper seals and replace their mask at the end of a shift but public masking was a clear policy failure and the practice should have been stopped by the end of 2020. I looked at the graphs for each state daily and it was very clear that cases did not noticeably decrease or slow in masking states vs non-masking states. Events should have been moved outdoors rather than banning the gathering of people. 3) The vaccine did decrease the number of cases from November 2020 through May of 2021 but there never should have been mandates. All this accomplished was fueling the anti-vax sentiment in the country. 4) Firing healthcare workers who didn’t take the jab was daft. This exasperated our shortage of medical staff. 5) Sending sick people into nursing homes…
