Episode notes
mRNA Vaccines Prevented Severe Disease Not Infection
- Robert R. Redfield says COVID mRNA vaccines prevented severe illness in the vulnerable but never proved they prevented infection.
- He argues mandates for the general population were a scientific overreach and misled the public.
Prefer Protein Vaccines Over mRNA For COVID
- Robert R. Redfield recommends avoiding mRNA COVID vaccines due to unknowns about spike-protein production and immunotoxicity.
- He suggests using protein vaccines like Novavax because dosage and decay are known.
Long COVID And Vaccine Injury Are Clinical Conditions
- Redfield emphasizes that long COVID and vaccine injury are clinical diagnoses and were often misattributed to psychiatric causes early on.
- He notes growing medical recognition and specialized clinics treating these conditions.
