Try and refute.
Thank you for asking me my thoughts.
I think you will be surprised with my response.
I agree with 1.2,3,5,6,7,9
I disagree with 4. I think that viral and vaccine related myocarditis is probably not clinically significant. There are several studies that clearly demonstrated myocarditis secondary to the virus or the vaccine is generally mild and self limited. Myocarditis is an inflammatory response and systemic inflammation is clearly caused by the disease (SIRS) and there is a sub clinical inflammatory response with the vaccine. It’s the reason why after most every vaccination there is a generalized achiness.
I marginally disagree with 8. I don’t think there is strong data either way there are as advantages to a 30 day second dose that would not be as robust a 90 days.
10 I think there is a long COVID that is 1/5 with alpha and delta but not the others. However at one year chest scans with those who had long COVID there is resolution. So I don’t think it’s permanent.
The other seven statement are by and large true. But they are also questions of politics. Not necessarily medicine. And they had been a consistent statement of mine. I think this is the first disease that has been generally more politically dealt with than medicinally.
I will await the usual nonsense responses but largely the positions in this article are the positions that I have generally taken through this pandemic.
