Everyone I know who was not vaccinated it was Omicold...to everyone who was vaccinated it included your symptoms of fever, chills etc. Not scientific but..

The universal vaccination, and the focus on very young children, is only designed to do one thing: eliminate the control group and shield Pfizer and Moderna and their partners in the public health arena that pushed these useless and often dangerous shots. Pushing these in late 2020 when it's all we had is one thing, understandable, but pushing them now is bordering on criminal.

The point of universal vaccination campaigns is eliminating the control group, not stopping the virus

Dr. Hollander, you seem like a voice for moderation who has taken a critical look at the data. Would you be willing to debate Steve Kirsch regarding vaccine safety on a recorded video call? I think it would be very instructive for everyone to see. I do not represent Mr. Kirsch, but could attempt to contact him if you would be interested.

Vaccines are wonderful*, and my children have received lots of shots for childhood diseases and even HPV. My children have not received Covid vaccinations, given their low risk of serious complications from infection, lack of long-term and intellectually honest studies of these new vaccines, indications that the vaccines have not significantly impacted spread to others, and because my children have now had Covid and developed some degree of acquired immune protection. I may change my mind, but currently have little faith in public health decrees, such as Dr. Walensky's 80% cherry-picked pseudo science masking claim.

Unfortunately, my children will miss out on some opportunities because I live on the border of Washington state, where many people have been convinced that they should wear masks outside and some community leaders now unreasonably require Covid vaccination for participation in some summer camps and other youth activities.

* and no, I do not trust doctors who cannot distinguish between general acceptance of vaccines and specific cases/concerns.

This strikes me as a solution in search of a problem. The virus has a known age profile for complications, and otherwise healthy people under 70 appear to be at limited risk of severe outcomes. As you know, the number of cases is always the focus of news reports, but that might be the least important number. ICU admissions, according to practicing physicians I know, are far more important. Everyone seems to know a child who "came down with COVID19, so they're at risk." Yes, but not equal risk.

I first observed in February 2000 that we've known how to deal with a respiratory disease epidemic for over 100 years. Outdoors is better than indoors, because even slight breezes will typically dispel a vapor cloud. Sunlight helps generate Vitamin D, and is not friendly to viruses. Indoors a vapor cloud can linger up to three hours in a room, invisible to all who enter. Protect the elderly and the obese first, and leave everyone else alone pending more information. Shutting down the global economy was certain to cause far more damage than the disease.

So, we did the opposite. We ordered everyone to stay indoors and treated all age cohorts as though they carried the same risk profile. I'm 74, 2x CVA, 1x MI, uncounted TIAs, one cardiac arrest, a constellation of neurological disorders, 2x bladder cancer, one bypass and a horribly abused body I wish I'd taken better care of. It's a bit late now. Stage 3 COPD complicated with hypercapnia.

Moderna reported a 0.5% serious adverse event rate in one cohort. That's 1 in 200, while placebo was 0.0%.

Dr. Buzz, can you comment on this? Your readers mightn't, but surely you know what the definition of "serious adverse event" is -- and 1 in 200 kids ain't good.

I disagree that the characterization of a generally "safe" vaccine is compatible with such a high serious adverse event rate, but would appreciate your thoughts.

I would really like to see a reasoned debate on the subject between Dr. Hollander and Steve Kirsch or one of his doctor friends.
