Not sure where the early downvotes are coming from but this is correct: my state has 95% 2 dose vaccination of adults and currently 150 ventilated patients- half of those are unvaccinated. So 5% of the population represents 50% of ICU venti

I am unfortunately off by a long way on myocarditis, the reported rates are 5-6x. I was confused, my apologies. [1, 2]. The diabetes link is 3. After posting it in another post I was directed to some useful criticism. My numbers are IFR rat

The TGA reporting is incredibly easy so that is disappointing. Speaking to my sister (cardiologist) and colleagues in GPland and physicians training I have not heard this - although I am easily able to accept that peri/myocarditis in i

If you read my comment you will see that it is not, in fact an attack on you and if I had not made the unfortunate use of the word ‘claim’ and instead said ‘I’d like to counter your anecdote with one of my own …… and lets wait until there’s

Well - I’m not sure I have doubts but I remain open to the possibility. As a doctor and public health advocate I think the vaccines are miracles and have saved already millions of lives. Our society is already fundamentally changed by the d

You’re at a 30x (minimum) increased risk, as well as running a 0.5-2% chance of dying depending on your state of health. If you’re less than 18, you have a higher risk of type 1 OR type 2 diabetes. Anyone who willingly runs that risk in the

This is because of the specific immunological response the body mounts to Q Fever (which would happen with a repeat infection) if a person already has antibodies, not because vaccinating someone who has already had the condition being vacci

I’m sorry to hear about your issues. With respect, I’ll take a stand against your claim of there being a tsunami of patients with vaccine injuries innundating rheumatologists - I am in the field and continue to ask colleagues if they are se

Nice summary - with apologies I’ll nitpick - I am not aware of VITTP from mRNA vaccines. (Edit - I dial this back - I see the piece in the paper where they mention the case series from mRNA vaccines) I think (I guess the audience of a sci

Louis Theroux has a documentary on it - Edge of Life I believe it is called (although Google says that’s about cedars Sinai so possibly not, but there is an episode he does that predominantly features room after room of ventilated patients)

There are a lot of products out there that, just because they are possible, does not mean they should be built. Can you imagine the rooms where people come up with stuff like this? A world of PowerPoint slides and consulting Mumbo-jumbo
