PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS
DR. JEREMY LEVIN
- Dr. Levin is an incredibly accomplished doctor and scientist.
- He has won tons of awards for his good work.
- One of them is the Albert Einstein Award for Leadership in Life Science.
- However, Dr. Levin has never been involved in the development of a vaccine.
- That being said, he knows how this works.
- Dr. Levin is from South Africa.
COVID-19 VACCINES
- The Pfizer vaccine is incredibly high quality.
- There is real science behind this vaccine.
- Now, they’re really looking at side effects.
- Dr. Levin thinks that from Moderna & Pfizer there will be huge potential for really getting this pandemic under control.
- There are over 150 approaches being pursued right now.
- The trials are very extensive.
- It was a double-blind trial.
- They’re like super controlled epidemiological studies.
- We should feel really good about what these companies are doing.
- Dr. Levin also talks distribution of vaccines.
- The concern about autism comes from a discredited study out of the 1980s.
- The myth promulgated but is just a myth.
- The risks of complications from NOT getting vaccines, however, is very real.
- The myth promulgated but is just a myth.
- He believes the vaccine will be widely available next year.
THERAPEUTICS
- Now, many of the people who are contracting COVID are young populations.
- The high risk populations are fortunately avoiding the disease better.
- Regeneron and Eli Lilly have come out with antibody cocktails.
- These drive the virus down and help people get over the hump.
- Unfortunately, at the moment, only VIPs are getting this treatment.
- We can expect better therapeutics like this coming out soon.
- Social distancing works — look at tuberculosis!
EFFECTIVE MASKS
- The best masks are those with deep filtration.
- Any kind with some filter is preferred.
- You can’t leave in a bubble, but having the mask + air flow is good protection.
- Any facial covering is better than none.
- This is a silent killer — think of it like the flu.
- If someone next to you had the flu, coughing and the like, you would want them to wear a mask.
- It’s the same now–just because they aren’t coughing and outwardly being sick, doesn’t mean they aren’t spreading it.
- If someone next to you had the flu, coughing and the like, you would want them to wear a mask.
