Description

In this episode:

  • The government and the media have propelled anti-scientific disinformation into the mainstream
  • We are seeing very significant post-COVID sequelae including diabetes & neurocognitive issues and more are emerging
  • Omicron infection is less protective than the booster
  • COVID has generated a major variant every six months for the past two years… more are likely to emerge so we are unlikely to be near the end
  • Omicron is as deadly as the original COVID variant… it’s not just a bad flu
