For viable public health strategy, prevention/limit of infection, what is wrong with the idea of good public health communication about immune system health, largely through nutrition and lifestyle? Such communication may include prebiotic, probiotic, gut microbiome, vitamin D, K2, perhaps zinc and associated ionophore (eg quercetin), melatonin, healthy exercise, outside time and good sleep (perhaps more or different based on best current knowledge). There may also be a role for steam/lavage of nasal and throat (mouth wash gargle , etc.). Consider public health messages in this direction for any people who are exposed or been in crowds. (Kind of like inspecting for ticks after a hike.)

As much as I am frustrated about the flippant attitudes that some people have towards COVID and how it will affect our overall progress, I am equally frustrated for our immunocompromised patients. All hospitals (regardless of what level) should require those working with immunocompromised patients have a N95 fitted. I accompanied a Stage 4 cancer patient to their chemo session and the nurse helping with their care was wearing a paper mask and it was obvious she had congestion (coughing under her mask).I get that there is a widespread care shortage but that doesn’t mean care should be compromised. If we know paper masks are ineffective, why aren’t hospital staff required to wear well fitted n-95’s?

@@Christian-jx3nx Don't forget the approved FDA and CDC hospital treatment was to wait till the patient couldn't breath, then intubate with a ventilator. They actually thought they could use high pressure to force O2 into their heavily contaminated and congested lungs filled with spike proteins. This treatment would rupture the delicate lung alveoli, further damaging their health and vulnerability. Next they would infuse into their blood a toxic drug called remdisavir, that killed both the kidneys and the liver. Without any evidence or trial study success they poisoned people and said they died of covid. At that point, the hospital qualified for federal funds as much as $100K for the dead patient.

We fully vaccinated older people who seem to risk mild, moderate and even severe disease need a direct answer the advisability of getting continual boosters. Dr Offit didn’t answer my question. Pointing out that vaccination isn’t risk free for younger people is beside the point. It seems obvious that a 76 year old should regularly get shots.
@Ricky-bl7yz2 жыл бұрын
I would agree that he didn’t do the best job answering that particular question. However there’s still no clear data to suggest that there would be clear benefits for additional boosters in terms of severe disease if those doses are indeed “boosters” and not additional doses for “primary series”. That being said if the third dose or the fourth dose is actually more of an “additional dose for primary series” meaning that one actually needs that many doses in order to generate enough memory cells. If that’s the case, I think there’s little argument against those doses being recommendable. Issue to that is the number of doses that’s required for an individual can be largely varied by: age, underlying health conditions, medications that the person takes etc. I believe that’s also the reason why he was saying that we need more clear recommendations of number of doses for different groups, however it’s quite hard to give an easy clear cut one size fits all recommendations, academically speaking

@christopherrobinson75412 жыл бұрын
@@Cathy-xi8cb The UK has decided to offer the 75+ age group a 4th dose. The original plan was to lower this age to 70, but this has been postponed. The 4th dose increases the antibody levels which can improve the performance of the innate immune system if infected. I think that the most likely Mechanism of Action (MoA), is that the antibodies enable the complement system to be activated by the classical pathway. Hence the innate immune system can enange more readily with the virus and dampen the infection while waiting for the adaptive response to develop.
@jobowen22 жыл бұрын
There is no super strong version of Covid vaccine. But over 75 year olds with greatly diminished ability to create innate antibodies have choices with Flu vaccines designed for that diminished ability. So, over 75 year olds are unlikely to escape endless repeat shots to keep up antibodies. Best choice in my opinion would be to give EVERYONE over 65 or 70 Evusheld every 6 months.

They failed the goal, so they changed the goal along with the definition for "vaccine" LOL. Offit can't be honest about that fact. He disrespected the viewers. Who does he think he is "educating"? So I stopped wasting my time after the first (almost) 4 min.

Offit is saying that long COVID appears to be more than one disease process. He isn't denying it as a problem at all. This is clear when you consider that they are looking at people who were in the ICU, never even went to the ER, are able to work but not go to the gym, and people who are bed-bound. Too many differences in disease experience and progression of recovery post-infection. He is not speaking as a treating clinician. Public health policy isn't the same as an individual's actions.
