As usual Offit talks out of both sides of his mouth. I recall vividly sometime ago he recommended no vaccinations for young children 6 months up to 12 years of age. NOW he wraps up this interview by saying that once he becomes a Granddad, he definitely wants his grandkids jabbed. The man is old and he doesn't remember what he's said from one minute to the other. It's pointless to bring him on as if he's still an expert. HIS expiration date has been reached. It was 26 years to develop that one drug vs 2 months for this one. At least the people used as guinea pigs for The Other Drug were paid and so if they got harmed or died, at least somebody had some money, but with this drug NOBODY gets paid. Instead, if they don't do it, they lose their job or get kicked out of school .Dog just gets off on association with powerful people but this is a Duo that is disastrous. We may now call them the Disastrous Duo Dooming mankind.
I am afraid Dr Offit may be destroyed because of his honesty 😥 As a manager I can tell you that this is all now about money and power. Pharma plays together with politicians. They are one team. And our team, team of humanity, is losing, because they are much much much stronger powerful players.. Sad but true 😥
Would be interesting to see if there is a connection of long covid with political ideology as well.
How anyone could be promoting these " inocculations" at this point only reveals a myopic bias so broad that – in my mind – disqualifies any of their 'scientific credentials'. We need a deep, cleaning out of all these career agency 'experts' that have totally destroyed America's trust in our public health response.
Thank you so much Dr Z for another great program and Dr Offit for dedicating your life to this. Amazing conversation. I am a mother of an 8 month old who received the first dose of Pfizer during pregnancy and 3 months later the second dose while breastfeeding with the promise of protecting myself and my child. Does my baby has antibodies? Does she needs the vaccine? This is so confusing.
I believed you that we didn't need a booster so I didn't get a booster after the two dose vaccine.
Can I suggest you interview some of the people who have made accurate predictions about the evolution of the virus? Geert, Brett, Malone, etc? While no one is 100% accurate in their predictions, the ones who were counter-narrative from the beginning have been more accurate, and we should learn their epistemology
People are waking up to the fact that vaccines in general have been dangerous for a very long time. The Covid shot just brought it all to light, people are researching things themselves for the first time in their lives.
Thanks so much. Always great information 👏
FAT is pre existing condition.
Paul lied !!!!
most healthy childreen survived SARS-CoV-2…no need for the vacine. But if you are over 70s please get your shot !!!!
I don't understand how we can talk about mandates for anyone. I'm an "essential worker" and I'm vaccinated and boosted. I got COVID two weeks ago and gave it to my entire family. Isn't there plenty of evidence that vaccinated people can infect other people? What justification is there for any mandate?
Shadow banned responses below for obvious reasons are not viewable.
We have anti-viral meds for Covid now so why all the boosting?….
This is all one huge human experiment. Please don’t poison your children!
I would love to see a discussion amongst you, Dr. Offit, and Dr. Ghandi, especially since I’m your last interview she mentioned getting a vaccine for herself and her kids that is only offered in India — I’d love Offit’s take and discussion with her about other vaccines.
All you parents making kids drink this koolaid- get ready for when they grow up and confront you about it. Make no mistake,that day will come.
He is just the best
thats the goal now for the vaccines… however thats not how we were sold day 1
Such a staggeringly great interview with Dr. Offit. Really hit on all of the important issues. I only wish you would have asked why we're approving vaccines for young children under an EUA. If there's no emergency (and there isn't), what's the justification for the EUA approval process? Anyway, thanks for a very informative 53 minutes!
It's hard to watch ZDogg's face. He is so full of himself and so full of sh*t I can't stand it. He's been wrong about everything important, from the beginning, and he still pretends that he's been acting professionally. All he has been is cocky. Now he and others are rewriting history so that they don't look as ridiculous as they've been.
Offit is no hero. Those of us that lost jobs and those injured by the jabs will NEVER FORGET you monsters of "Health and Saftey".
Would really love his opinion on vaccinating under 5 if they have already had Covid.
Thank you Dr. Offit. Humility and honesty about knowing what you don't know. This is why I trust you and hope many others feel the same! Science is always evolving.
ZDogg, great score on the interview with Paul!!! Just a couple of things I wonder about (from both you and Paul):
1) I'm wondering about thoughts on the resignations of Gruber and Krause in summer 2021 over the booster shot down vote by the committee and its eventual overruling by administration?
2) I'm wondering about thoughts on Cody Meissner's (vaccine committee member) alert to the possibility of 'molecular mimicry' with the new vaccine?
I love Paul Offit. ❤️ Brilliant and humble man.
That was a lot of talking soooo, what about kids yes or😑 no
He’s clearly shifted his stance on this. Interesting…
Doctor Z you've been had all the conspiracy theories we're correct and the conspiracy theorists are 5 in O to what's being cowded right now as science.
You remember when you said the mRNA vaccines would stop transmission and illness, because I do 🤔
I didn't take the HPV and the meningococcal vaccine either (it wasn't available when I was in college and life went on just fine), because I was at no risk for them and didn't feel like it. Still never been exposed, so it looks like I was right.
People should be free to choose what treatments they take without discrimination.
I don’t know one person who thinks or even cares about covid, vaccines or boosters anymore..
What’s the difference between covid pneumonia and just pneumonia? Pneumonia is a huge killer of children and the elderly. So again, did this kid have pneumonia and just happen to covid as well or is there a new covid pneumonia and if so please explain the difference
Follow the science follow the science follow the science follow the science follow the science follow the science follow the science
Might have misspelled money I'm not sure
I think that the FDA needs to close the book on covid,its over.
“You’re responsible, but you won’t be held responsible.” At least you admitted it offit 👎
What happened to the pursuit of individualized, precision medicine?
What happened to the requirement of medical professionals & public health to facilitate the patients right to exercise informed consent, without duress or penalty?
Why would those who are not at remarkable risk, be pressured to take this medical treatment?
These departures from medical ethics are serious.
I'm very disappointed. I posted a complimentary and supportive comment about this video and your and other's work, and I got attacked by other people to the point that I deleted my comment to just make it go away. I think that defies what you're trying to do.
Thank you for this interview
Great as always , me and my wife are boosted and caught Covid and my children got the 2 dose vaccine and we all caught Covid . Is there any reason for a booster for them and the adults it was back in January of 2022
Nice job! I liked this interview.
And the back pedal has begun. He must be really really worried to all of a sudden feign ethics by voting no. No – we will remember. You will be held accountable for your actions in time. History will not be kind to these people.
Thank you Dr. Offitt.
…the fix was in? Haha a little late to the party!
If you keep giving Wuhan vaccine its obvious you increase vaccine hesitancy and reduce population immunity going into the Fall.
No respect for either gentleman since they supported mandates and every consequence of that support.
Children do not require the vaccine. Zero risk statistically.
