The Decay Of The American Medical Establishment | Dr. Drew Pinsky


This is an interesting discussion.  

We live in a post-truth world where the narrative becomes the truth.

The problem with the political right is that they spin the story of COVID-19 vaccines.  

For example, a couple of years ago, an executive from Pfizer admitted to the European Union Congress that they didn't have time before releasing to test whether the vaccine stopped the spread of the disease.  Then every right winger claimed that Pfizer admitted that the vaccine doesn't stop the spread of the disease and that it has been proven that it doesn't stop the spread of COVID.  However, those studies were eventually done.  I have read them.  They showed that you were much less likely to spread the disease if you were vaccinated.

People forget that four years ago COVID had a 5% death rate in the United States.  My cousin died from it.  The vaccines were a godsend, but when COVID-19 was at its worst, only about 60% of the public were fully vaccinated.  

COVID-19 died down because natural immunity took over.  The Omicron Variation was less deadly but way more infectious, so everybody got it.  When I got it I suffered from fatigue for two months before I felt normal again.
