The conversation covers the different policies on handling the pandemic in Denmark and the United States, the empirical data on school closures, the CDC guidelines and masking in schools, the politicization of scientific studies, and the side effects of COVID vaccines. Dr. Tracy Beth Høeg discusses her concerns about myocarditis as a side effect of the COVID-19 vaccine, particularly in young males. She explains how she started monitoring reports from Israel and noticed an unexpected rate of myocarditis in young males following the Pfizer vaccine. Dr. Høeg highlights the importance of accurately identifying cases of myocarditis using the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) and consulting with cardiologists. She also discusses the ethics of vaccine mandates, emphasizing the need for individual choice and informed decision-making. Dr. Høeg shares her personal experiences of facing backlash and losing her job due to her research findings and involvement in the urgency of normal movement.
