is great information however this is geared toward preaching to the “choir.” Using the term anti-vaxxer and what anti vaxxed do and believe inflames the facts and makes it divisive. Please just present facts and not judgements on those opposed to the vaccine. We need to stop labeling people and look to providing people with more good readable information to make informed decisions about their own health and public health in general. If we use inflamed terms, we shut them out.

This should be a worldwide PSA. Brilliant article as always - thanks doc! Stay safe and thank you for fighting the good fight 🙏

I have an alternate view on lung physiology that dismisses the notion of oxygen and carbon dioxide gaseous exchange

The article is titled

We breathe air not oxygen

I take you though all the steps that lead to this statement

Including how oxygen is manufactured

How oxygen is calibrated

Eg medical oxygen has 67parts per million of water contamination

Why oxygen is toxic, dehydrates and damages the alveoli

Lung physiology requires the air at the alveoli to reach 100% humidity

Can you see the problem?

The new take on lung physiology:

The lungs rehydrate the passing RBCs with iso tonic saline solution as they pass through the alveoli capillary beds

RBCs change from dark contracted dehydrated to plump bright hydrated form as they soak up the iso tonic saline solution the bursting alveoli bubbles throw upon the capillary sac

The airway mucosa conditions the breathe with salt and moisture

Seasonality of colds/flu is related to cold dry air and dehydration

Dehydration is the point of susceptibility

"There is strong evidence at this point that prior infection does not provide significant protection against the Omicron variant"

Not true. The entire "reinfection" story is based on a notoriously unreliable test. There may actually be no reinfections at all. "Reinfections" can only be counted as real if they produce severe symptoms again.

"The vaccine is a much SAFER way"

The Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial showed that 4 people died of cardiac arrest in the vaccine group vs. 1 in the placebo group. The probability of that being a chance outcome is 1.5%. In other words, 98.5% probability the vaccine caused the excess cardiac arrest deaths. And it is not surprising as the vaccine is known to cause myocarditis/pericarditis and Dr. Patrick Whelan of UCLA warned the FDA BEFORE EUA about this problem. The Pfizer vaccine potentially prevented 1 COVID-19 death in the trial at a cost of 3 cardiac arrest deaths.

As a heart doctor, it may be of interest to you that I was the first to point out that cardiac injury that occurs during COVID-19 is due to Kounis syndrome. Was invited by Prof. Kounis to coauthor the details along with Dr. Robert Malone (inventor of the mRNA vaccine technology) and others.

"COVID infection is a risky way to get immunity - 850,000 people did not survive."

Most of the deaths were preventable. Millions died because they were denied early, cheap, safe, effective treatments.

"The vaccine on the other hand, generates immunity that is robust, reliable, and consistent."

For a month? How useful is that?

https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2119451

Do you need a booster every month to "top it up"? There have never been monthly boosters. Forget about mRNA boosters. So we have zero evidence of the effects that can be expected.

4th booster is going nowhere:

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-01-17/israel-trial-suggests-4th-dose-not-warding-off-omicron-infection

So how can you claim "robust, reliable, and consistent"?

Dr.Siyab,

Basic immunology should tell you that natural immunity is way better than vaccine-induced immunity.

Natural immunity following SARS infection protects for at least 17 years.

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2550-z

Natural immunity activates T cells that recognize EVERY part of the virus. mRNA vaccines only activate T cells that recognize spike protein.

Infection activated T cells home to the lungs where they are useful. Injected vaccine activated T cells home to the skin where they are useless.

Mechanisms of T cell organotropism

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27038487/

You need antibody titers that prevent infection. But any more higher level does not mean more protection. Since the immune system does not have infinite capacity, very high antibody titers come at the cost of reduced protection for other diseases. No free lunch. So just because a vaccine can temporarily send antibody level sky high, does not make it better.

Thanks,

Vinu

I would like to know which week I should listen to Dr. Fauci? He's said that we don't need masks then we do need masks. Then he says we need to double mask. What is the official pore diameter in which will actually protect all of humanity? And why is it not mandated for an n95 mask for all of the human race to survive? Where are the official statistics in which show the reasoning for our reactions to defend ourselves against this? And, as everyone knows, why didn't we implement these demands on society for the influenza virus?

Also read about omicron reinfecting people in Soutb Africa. Have heard from people in US that they know people with previous infecions getting reinfected

Thank you, this has created an uproar. I have been trying to tackle it all day. This post let me know I am on the right track.

Thank you. I needed this post to validate that I wasn’t crazy. My STBX told our kids that they have extra immunity for the next 90 days. I countered that the data isn’t available for omicron. I’ll read the link you provided by Dr. Topol, because both my kids had a very mild case of COVID (both about 3-4 days). I had the longest (5-6 days) and still have some random symptoms (fatigue at very random times, leg pain at night, and random coughing fits).

We’re all vaccinated and I am boosted. Their dad tested negative, when we did the final test for our oldest to go back to school. We still don’t know how COVID came into our house (son got it, then me, then daughter), but STBX had been coughing prior to son showing symptoms, but he never tested. Based on how the rest of us tested and that no one in our bubble was sick…..
