Can anyone please show me where I have said that anyone should not get a vaccine/drug?
I have said in my case, my risk from COVID is extremely low. The risk from the vaccine is unknown.
In an at risk population, the risk from COVID may outweigh the unknown long term risk of the vaccine.
I am sharing the research available and what I am doing. The risk from what I am doing is low, if people follow the vitamin and supplement protocol I am following, which is basically the iMASK protocol being touted by Dr Paul Marik, then it may be of great benefit.
The reason I am sharing what I know is because I feel it would not be responsible to share info that may be beneficial to others.
In the age of social media, do you really think physicians/intensivists just keep killing their patients, despite these cheap miracle cures lying around?
As I said before, I have a ton of respect for Dr. Marik for other reasons, so I find it sad that the man doesn't understand how much credibility he's lost with the irreproducibility of his sepsis protocol outcomes. Same for resisting doing proper studies with proper control groups (based on "ethical"
pretexts concerns) for all the sensationalist announcements he makes.
Anybody who has a medical diploma/license, and an ounce of critical thinking and knowledge of medical history (including all the failed miracle cures/protocols of the past, such as the famous "Early Goal-Directed Therapy in Sepsis") would shrug his shoulders and wait for more/better evidence. There was an entire thread about why we can't believe in hydroxychloroquine, back in spring, when HCQ was the miracle drug. Look it up. Physicians have killed more patients in history than saved with unsubstantiated "logical" interventions; millions just during the Spanish flu pandemic, with high dose-aspirin (up to
30 g/day), the miracle drug of those times. Guess what? Aspirin toxicity can look exactly like bad flu. Who knew (back then)?
The vaccine is not in the same category, because it has proven and significant benefits, at least short-term. Except for people who live like hermits, I tend to advise every person over 50 to get it. Mortality increases exponentially by the decade, with about 25-30% of the Covid-positive octogenarians ending up dead (let's not mention all the crippled survivors of severe disease).
Nothing is a better predictor for Covid-19 mortality than age, so it's understandable for a younger physician to avoid immunization for himself, but almost unforgivable if he works with elderly patients. The risks vs benefits discussion of getting a vaccine as a doctor is both about the physician and his patients.
