Dr. Lucy, my husband is 79 years old and has the stomach flu. Has been vomiting and now feeling weak. do you have some feedback for us? Thank you for your “ministry” to the sick. Blessings, Helen Saunders, North Carolina
I was thinking that it would be prudent to remind everyone about winter vomiting disease (norovirus). This is not a respiratory disease and vaccines are in clinical development, Handwashing is a great way to prevent infection and disease. https://www.cdc.gov/norovirus/index.html
I had both original COVID doses and the booster but I feel let down that I wasn’t warned of the risks. Myocarditis is a serious side effect. In particular, people should have been warned that physical exercise in the 2-3 days following heightened the risk substantially.
I just feel this hasn’t been properly tested and we simply don’t know that the benefits outweigh the risks. I just don’t think we can say that with confidence.
We did have a high powered phase three RCT that showed efficacy and safety. Real world data showed that myocarditis is pretty rare. When the second dose is spaced from 3-4 weeks to 8-12 weeks, incidence is reduced being even more rare. However, infections from SARS-CoV-2 turning into COVID-19, there is a far greater risk. Good news is that almost all improve after medication and rest in a few days. So,we can say with confidence that the benefit greatly outweigh the risks. I acknowledge there are risks with vaccines, medication, herbal supplement, nutritional supplements and ayurveda.
The COVID vaccines are causing havoc on people of all ages. You know it, and you're still promoting them. The spike proteins alone are doing terrible damage to people's organs. And don't get me going with the almost YARDS' length bloodclots.
My pharmacist suggested the RSV vaccine for me because I travel a ton for work on planes and I’m around lots of people I don’t know. I’m 52 and fairly healthy. Would you suggest getting it
If you were my patient I wouldn't advise it! It's only approved for 60+ and even in that age cohort I am only recommending it to higher risk ppl given that it is a new vaccine. I wrote about it here:
