Tremendous! Two of my favorite doctors to listen to – common sense and the ability to unravel complex medical issues for the average non-medical person. I am 71 years old, in good health for my age with nothing needing medication (yet) and an active enough lifestyle. My question is, in the early times of COVID there was lots of talk by those in the medical field I have come to trust (Monica Gandhi, Vinay Prasad, Zubin Damania, Marty Makary) about T cells and memory cells of the immune system recognizing the COVID virus. We would still get the virus since it takes time for the immune system to rev itself up, but those memory cells would recognize it and keep us from getting seriously ill. If that is the case, why do older folks with no comorbidities need boosters?
I enjoyed this very thoughtful conversation. Thank you BOTH for constantly sifting through the noise and looking at the past 5 years from all four corners of the room. Bravo!!! Dr. McBride, I will ask again....can you please, please, please open a practice in the northwest suburbs of Chicago?? :)
Great well balanced conversation. Nice to hear you again Adam. Hope you are well! I saw that Alex Lickerman recommended this POD cast and so listened. Will recommend to others.
These jabs are not vaccines. THE COVID “VACCINES” ARE NOT SAFE! They are causing myocarditis, and so many strokes; and many more negative / deadly side affects. It’s so sad that even doctors are bought and paid for. Such a shame, I used to believe in the medical system. The only positive of the COVID SCAM-DEMIC is it EXPOSED THE BAD ACTORS AND GROUPS. There’s a reason the number of doctor suicide is so high; you KNOW you’re not helping patients. You are in it for the money, SUCH AN EMPTY LIFE YOU LIVE. God bless you
Not your decision, for anyone but you personally...be brainwashed by Dumbo blithering Kennedy...up to you...but don't preach ...I prefer to listen to medical professionals and people who know science, and make 'my own decision'.
Who funds you Ms. Anonymous. The antivax industry is heavily funded by the supplement industry which is doing its best to discredit mainstream medicine. I’m shocked by the concerted effort to do evil.
I adore Adam Cifu and Sensible Medicine! Even though I don’t understand everything being discussed, I feel like I’m getting the hang of some things, and Drs. Cifu, Mandrola, and Prasad really helped me survive the pandemic. Regarding the NYT headline, bear in mind that sadly, many headlines are intended as clickbait, so they tend to be a bit outrageous.
Wow this post is misleading. Assumptions galore. Bias galore. Where's your evidence that long covid is bad because lots infections? Stick to your expertise in primary care, leave infectious diseases to ID docs.
Help me understand what is misleading? Where did I say that LC if bad because of lots of infections? General assertions like this aren't helpful unless they are paired with specific questions or concerns - which I am happy to address.
Your discussion about long covid being prevalent because everyone got infected occurs when your talking about long covid and you saying lots virus have long term sequalae. Make it sound like it's not a unique property of this virus. Plenty of papers about how it is unique. Please tell me you don't think it's “ just like the flu!” It sounds like you do. Well then guessing you dont encourage flu vaccines. We lost like 250 mostly healthy toddlers to flu this year and 150 to covid. Most flu deaths since the flu pandemic. 5% vaccinated. How many children died from the Flu Vaccines? None that I can find evidence of. Let me know if you need me to do the risk/ benefit of a child getting flu vaccine. NNT doesn't matter to a dead kid so ignore the bologna you learned in medical statistics.

I think she might need to clone herself for that!
Haha you never know! Thank you for the kind words 🙏
Thank you!

Helpful and balanced

Don't get any vaccines...please.

Please look up what Dr. Yeadon has to say about the "covid" fiasco.
