WEBVTT - The Vaccine Debate

0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:07.440
<v Speaker 1>Wind down with Janet and her radio podcast. Okay, so

0:00:07.480 --> 0:00:13.640
<v Speaker 1>we know that obviously what we're talking about today UM

0:00:13.800 --> 0:00:16.360
<v Speaker 1>can be considered a controversial topic and there's a lot

0:00:16.440 --> 0:00:22.040
<v Speaker 1>of misinformation, and our intention is not to spread misinformation. UM.

0:00:22.079 --> 0:00:24.200
<v Speaker 1>We just want to allow our guests that we have

0:00:24.280 --> 0:00:29.360
<v Speaker 1>on today to give their opinions and have a discussion. UM.

0:00:29.400 --> 0:00:31.800
<v Speaker 1>That being said, we do not pretend to be doctors

0:00:31.880 --> 0:00:35.080
<v Speaker 1>or scientists or give medical advice. We just wanted to

0:00:35.080 --> 0:00:38.440
<v Speaker 1>have this conversation. But we encourage y'all to do your research,

0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:41.599
<v Speaker 1>consult with your health care professional. UM. We know that

0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:45.560
<v Speaker 1>there are many opinions, and we will continue the conversation

0:00:45.880 --> 0:00:50.400
<v Speaker 1>UM and educate ourselves UM, within our marriage and our

0:00:51.240 --> 0:00:54.040
<v Speaker 1>UM and you know, with with our kids. UM. You know,

0:00:54.320 --> 0:00:56.720
<v Speaker 1>we obviously have Robert Kenney Jr. Joining us today on

0:00:56.760 --> 0:01:01.520
<v Speaker 1>the show, and we also have a UM doctor, Dr.

0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:06.120
<v Speaker 1>A Malkin, UM who's going to just be on the

0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:08.640
<v Speaker 1>other side of things because we want there to there's always,

0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:10.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, two sides, and we believe that both voices

0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:14.400
<v Speaker 1>deserve to be heard. Yeah. I think it's just our

0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:19.280
<v Speaker 1>job as citizens and as people right on any kind

0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:22.600
<v Speaker 1>of topic that can be passionate and controversial is to

0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:26.200
<v Speaker 1>just gather information and that's all we're doing on this episode.

0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:29.400
<v Speaker 1>We just want to give different sides of the coin,

0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:32.360
<v Speaker 1>allow people to make up their own minds, and you know,

0:01:33.040 --> 0:01:38.600
<v Speaker 1>to not be um mean about it or post negative comments.

0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:41.959
<v Speaker 1>It's just again, UM, there's so many things out there

0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:44.600
<v Speaker 1>right now, lots of misinformation. So we just we got

0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:47.920
<v Speaker 1>the two best that we know to kind of debunk

0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:51.960
<v Speaker 1>certain things, um and express their thoughts and their feelings.

0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:54.920
<v Speaker 1>And don't worry, we'll be back to our regular scheduled

0:01:54.920 --> 0:02:00.160
<v Speaker 1>programming of Mike and Jana fighting next week. So until then, UM,

0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:03.040
<v Speaker 1>let's get on with the show. And just a disclaimer

0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:05.200
<v Speaker 1>because we're going there. The views and opinions express are

<v Speaker 1>podcast without first seeking independent medical advice. And that goes

0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:40.560
<v Speaker 1>as well for all the advice we give you in

0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:42.800
<v Speaker 1>our marriage, because the Lord knows we don't know what

0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:47.120
<v Speaker 1>we're doing, but we're just going on. We don't know

0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:50.960
<v Speaker 1>what we don't know. So take everything you're hear here

0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:53.760
<v Speaker 1>for what it is. You know, I was even talking

0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:57.239
<v Speaker 1>to my mother earlier. Why do you say it like that?

0:02:57.880 --> 0:02:59.880
<v Speaker 1>I hope that. I hope our kids never say my

0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:03.880
<v Speaker 1>mother earlier, my mommy, you my mommy. I do I

0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:07.360
<v Speaker 1>want you to say, I'm talking to mommy earlier, mommy earlier,

0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:10.240
<v Speaker 1>And I was telling her who we are having on today?

0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:12.519
<v Speaker 1>And it's just you know, even for I think any

0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:17.800
<v Speaker 1>generation is like like we're now legit, like you guys

0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:24.320
<v Speaker 1>are actually this is actually your job. Okay, Um, we

0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:30.320
<v Speaker 1>have a Kennedy on today, yes, um, very excited and

0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:33.280
<v Speaker 1>um I also have two of my high school girlfriends

0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:38.360
<v Speaker 1>joining us, Chelsea and Andrea say hello, hello, thanks for

0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:42.920
<v Speaker 1>having us. Of course, so we um we did an

0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:47.640
<v Speaker 1>episode a few weeks ago that involved UM. We talked

0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:51.520
<v Speaker 1>to Dr Oz and just a few questions, and I

0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:54.360
<v Speaker 1>gotta say I had Andrea looked through some of the comments,

0:03:54.360 --> 0:04:01.440
<v Speaker 1>but some of the comments on the podcast were pretty rough. Really. Yeah.

0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:03.720
<v Speaker 1>They said that, you know, our job is like that

0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:06.160
<v Speaker 1>we were kind of like misinforming. And I think the

0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:09.240
<v Speaker 1>issue is we were to talk about a lot of things, right,

0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:11.680
<v Speaker 1>but we also want to have different sides of the story,

0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:13.640
<v Speaker 1>just like you know how we have different therapists come

0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:16.920
<v Speaker 1>on in different opinions, and you know, Dr Oz was

0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:20.080
<v Speaker 1>four vaccinations, and you know, you have the other side

0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:23.200
<v Speaker 1>saying that it's dangerous for us to even talk about

0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:25.560
<v Speaker 1>the other side. And you know, I feel like that's

0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:28.960
<v Speaker 1>where we're doing a disservice too, because I think both

0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:32.160
<v Speaker 1>sides need to be heard. And I was reading some

0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:34.320
<v Speaker 1>of my comments and two of my high school girlfriends

0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:39.960
<v Speaker 1>UM had tagged uh Robert Kennedy Jr. In one of

0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:42.640
<v Speaker 1>my posts and said that we should get him on

0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:46.120
<v Speaker 1>the podcast to talk about the opposite side of vaccinations.

0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:51.840
<v Speaker 1>And I thought it was obviously in an interesting idea, UM,

0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:55.320
<v Speaker 1>because there is such a some information for one side.

0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:57.880
<v Speaker 1>And then the other UM. So that's how Andrea and

0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:01.039
<v Speaker 1>Chelsea are now on this podcast with us UM and

0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:04.159
<v Speaker 1>y'all have a lot of information on on Mr Kennedy.

0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:07.960
<v Speaker 1>Don't you sure this is the same come true to

0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:10.919
<v Speaker 1>be able to speak with him. He's one of the

0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:15.640
<v Speaker 1>most knowledgeable people out there on vaccine safety and legislator,

0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:20.680
<v Speaker 1>and he's worked to fight against huge major companies just

0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:23.560
<v Speaker 1>all in the name of children's rights, which is fantastic.

0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:25.800
<v Speaker 1>I commend you guys for bringing this up. A lot

0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:28.320
<v Speaker 1>of people won't touch this topic, and I do think

0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:31.920
<v Speaker 1>it's so important to tell both sides of the story right,

0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:34.880
<v Speaker 1>to give people a chance, give them the resources, give

0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:36.680
<v Speaker 1>them the information, give them a chance to make the

0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:39.280
<v Speaker 1>decision that's best for their family that they believe. And

0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:41.680
<v Speaker 1>so you know, you're never going to make everyone happy.

0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:43.640
<v Speaker 1>I get that, but I really applied you guys for

0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:47.360
<v Speaker 1>doing that. So why do you guys think subjects as

0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:52.440
<v Speaker 1>this where people their beliefs. It almost seems like it's

0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:55.279
<v Speaker 1>either right or wrong. Right, Like it's almost like Republican

0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:59.279
<v Speaker 1>first Democrat. Why is this topic, in y'all's opinions, such

0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:01.800
<v Speaker 1>a topic that it's like when someone believes the other

0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:04.839
<v Speaker 1>majority of people, it seems like, are like, well, that's

0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:09.359
<v Speaker 1>clearly wrong. Why would you believe that? H In my opinion,

0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:13.320
<v Speaker 1>I think it's because we're going to our doctors, right,

0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:16.360
<v Speaker 1>And it's really our doctors that are telling us this

0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:19.080
<v Speaker 1>is what we need to do. Your kind of mandated

0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:21.479
<v Speaker 1>to do these shots for your kids to go to school.

0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:24.320
<v Speaker 1>And so I think we're just trusting the people that

0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:28.400
<v Speaker 1>are advising our health for our children. And also in

0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:31.560
<v Speaker 1>media comes out and gives you all the ads and

0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:36.360
<v Speaker 1>everything that's pushing that they're safe. So I think it's

0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:40.280
<v Speaker 1>really hard to unlearn something that you've been indoctrinating with

0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:42.919
<v Speaker 1>really your whole life. If you've grown up knowing I

0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:45.280
<v Speaker 1>have to get my vaccines, these are gonna make me healthy,

0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:48.000
<v Speaker 1>this is gonna make me safe. I think it's really hard,

0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:50.840
<v Speaker 1>which is why we commend you so much for actually

0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:54.320
<v Speaker 1>been looking into this, because it's very eye opening once

0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:57.560
<v Speaker 1>you start reading about it, and it's hard. It's really

0:06:57.640 --> 0:07:02.320
<v Speaker 1>hard to wrap your mind around something that you believed

0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:04.400
<v Speaker 1>your whole life is safe to find out that it

0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:08.279
<v Speaker 1>might not be. And and here's here's what I believe.

0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:13.480
<v Speaker 1>I believe that the people that are in the positions

0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:15.800
<v Speaker 1>that Chelsea and I aron where they've really challenged vaccines

0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:19.080
<v Speaker 1>and they've done the research, they feel strongly about it

0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:22.000
<v Speaker 1>because we feel like the other side hasn't done that research,

0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:26.360
<v Speaker 1>because honestly, I don't know many people that can do

0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:29.400
<v Speaker 1>truly do that research, read the studies, find the wholes,

0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:35.120
<v Speaker 1>find the lies, and still pour it vaccinated so strongly

0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:37.480
<v Speaker 1>to your point, might like with the emotion and with

0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:41.440
<v Speaker 1>so much conviction, like I am just it's to me

0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:44.560
<v Speaker 1>it was very compelling, and I mean Chelsea and I

0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:48.560
<v Speaker 1>were pretty logical, pretty rational, well educated people. Like It's

0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:51.200
<v Speaker 1>not like I think it just surprises people. They think

0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:55.320
<v Speaker 1>that people who you know, challenge vaccinations aren't in their circles,

0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:57.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, they think that there's these people they don't know,

0:07:57.520 --> 0:07:59.800
<v Speaker 1>who are these crazy people like that are just you know,

0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:02.160
<v Speaker 1>they're children are getting sick all the time, infecting others,

0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:04.360
<v Speaker 1>And it's like, I think actually some of the friends

0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:07.120
<v Speaker 1>in our circles were shocked to learn that we were

0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:10.000
<v Speaker 1>quote those people, right, we were the people that are

0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:13.800
<v Speaker 1>actually challenging vaccines and haven't necessarily followed the full schedule

0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:17.520
<v Speaker 1>with our children. And I think two people are very

0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:21.560
<v Speaker 1>surprised to find out how healthy unvaccinated children are. And

0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:23.720
<v Speaker 1>I think it's hard for people to say, like, what

0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:26.240
<v Speaker 1>I did everything right? I did everything my doctor said,

0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:29.480
<v Speaker 1>why is my child always sick? But you're the one

0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:31.360
<v Speaker 1>who's supposed to have the sick child because you're not

0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:33.440
<v Speaker 1>doing it. So I think it's just a lot of

0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:38.160
<v Speaker 1>understanding and researching, but people need to change their entire

0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:41.280
<v Speaker 1>way of thinking. And my lunch side, it's like, once

0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:45.080
<v Speaker 1>I started really researching and seeing the hard facts, it's like,

0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:48.640
<v Speaker 1>this is this is just almost a crime against humanity.

0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:52.160
<v Speaker 1>What's going on? The last thing is just it's also

0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:54.960
<v Speaker 1>people are super defensive. It's their children, and nobody want

0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:59.680
<v Speaker 1>to maybe they made a decision for their children that

0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:02.959
<v Speaker 1>is maybe going to post problems for them later in life,

0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:05.840
<v Speaker 1>or that they had if they didn't have like a

0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:08.920
<v Speaker 1>severe bad reaction immediately, like maybe it's gonna So of

0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:11.120
<v Speaker 1>course everybody's defensive about that. We're all trying to make

0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:13.400
<v Speaker 1>the best issuerson for our children. You know, right, what

0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:17.760
<v Speaker 1>inspired both of you too to start going down this

0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:20.520
<v Speaker 1>this direction? Right? What was the one thing that kind

0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:22.760
<v Speaker 1>of sparked it for you to be like, wait a second,

0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:26.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't know about this. Yeah I I can, Yeah,

0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:30.200
<v Speaker 1>I can start so. Um. So, when I had my daughter,

0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:32.760
<v Speaker 1>she's three now, we were living in California, and California

0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:35.800
<v Speaker 1>at the time was a state that only allowed medical exemptions,

0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:39.199
<v Speaker 1>meaning you could only be exempt from certain vaccines if

0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:41.559
<v Speaker 1>you had a medical reason and a note from your

0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:45.160
<v Speaker 1>doctor stating that. So whereas other states will allow like

0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:48.160
<v Speaker 1>personal belief exemptions and religious exemptions, so you can claim

0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:50.240
<v Speaker 1>that as a reason for which you're not vaccinating or

0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:53.960
<v Speaker 1>fully vaccinating your child. So at the time, you know,

0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:55.880
<v Speaker 1>even when I was pregnant, I started looking into it

0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:58.400
<v Speaker 1>because I'm a type of person that if there's any

0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:00.920
<v Speaker 1>debate on a topic, I want to know both sides,

0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:02.360
<v Speaker 1>I want to do my research and I want to

0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:05.120
<v Speaker 1>come to my own conclusion. I started looking into it,

0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:08.080
<v Speaker 1>and to be honest, I didn't found I didn't find

0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:10.280
<v Speaker 1>all the research that I ended up finding a couple

0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:12.640
<v Speaker 1>of years later or a year later, but I found

0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:15.280
<v Speaker 1>some and it was enough to to basically direct me

0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:17.240
<v Speaker 1>to a pediatrician or lead me to a pediatrician that

0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:21.280
<v Speaker 1>allowed a staggered schedule or like a delayed schedule. So

0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:23.480
<v Speaker 1>for the first year my daughter's life. We lived in

0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:27.480
<v Speaker 1>California and we were vaccinating on a very delayed schedule.

0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:30.280
<v Speaker 1>Then when we moved back to Michigan, a state that

0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:34.400
<v Speaker 1>allowed all exemptions personal, religious, and medical, when I tried

0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:36.720
<v Speaker 1>to find a pediatrician, the first question they all asked

0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:41.440
<v Speaker 1>me was are you fully vaccinating? And I was like, well, no,

0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:44.160
<v Speaker 1>but you know, and so then it really prompted me

0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:48.000
<v Speaker 1>to dig in further. And what I found then was like,

0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:51.200
<v Speaker 1>just to me, I was like, I was astounded. I mean,

0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:53.320
<v Speaker 1>I would read books and my heart would be racing

0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:56.360
<v Speaker 1>because then I would look at certain things that had

0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:59.640
<v Speaker 1>happened with my daughter, and they weren't major reactions, thankfully,

0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:01.600
<v Speaker 1>but there were little things along the way that I

0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:03.440
<v Speaker 1>was like, wow, was that because of the vaccines we

0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:06.040
<v Speaker 1>gave her. So what I did at that point was,

0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:08.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I really I dove in. I found Children's

0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:11.000
<v Speaker 1>Health Defense, I found Robert Kennedy. I watched his videos,

0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:13.960
<v Speaker 1>and I mean I was just shocked, and like, I

0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:15.400
<v Speaker 1>know that Robert will hit on a couple of the

0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:17.880
<v Speaker 1>high points, but the two that really I guess stuck

0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:21.280
<v Speaker 1>with me that I want to call out is the metals,

0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:23.199
<v Speaker 1>like the ingredients and there's a lot of ingredients that

0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:26.320
<v Speaker 1>there are that I have challenges with, but one is aluminum.

0:11:26.360 --> 0:11:28.880
<v Speaker 1>It's a known neurotoxin. And one example that I feel

0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:31.280
<v Speaker 1>like is so poignant because this information comes from the

0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:34.959
<v Speaker 1>CDC website, it comes from the FDA. One of the

0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:37.960
<v Speaker 1>popular versions of the heppy shot that's given to infants

0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:43.040
<v Speaker 1>less than twenty four hours old, has point to milligrams

0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:46.320
<v Speaker 1>of aluminum minute if you look at per If you

0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:50.079
<v Speaker 1>look at the FDA website, it says the safe amount

0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:53.719
<v Speaker 1>that's allowed in drinking water of aluminum is point to

0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:58.080
<v Speaker 1>milligrams per leader. Yet per milli leader of the vaccine,

0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:02.800
<v Speaker 1>there's point five milligrams of aluminum. So, like, how can

0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:05.439
<v Speaker 1>you trust the fact that this information you're getting from

0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:08.839
<v Speaker 1>the FDA directly negates what's happening with the CDC and

0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:11.240
<v Speaker 1>the information that's in the vaccine they want you to

0:12:11.240 --> 0:12:13.679
<v Speaker 1>give your child at twenty four hours old. That blew

0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:16.760
<v Speaker 1>my mind. Then the other one that I'm sure Robert

0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:20.120
<v Speaker 1>Robert will touch on is the fact that in the

0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:22.920
<v Speaker 1>law was passed that basically took all liability away from

0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:26.160
<v Speaker 1>vaccine manufacturers because they went to the government and said

0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:30.280
<v Speaker 1>vaccines are unavoidably unsafe, and there's too much liability for

0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:33.760
<v Speaker 1>us in this business. You need to protect us and

0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:38.959
<v Speaker 1>at that point free from all liability. So imagine you

0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:41.720
<v Speaker 1>have a car seat for your child. If you knew

0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:45.440
<v Speaker 1>that that sheet manufacturer was exempt from liability, would you

0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:48.240
<v Speaker 1>use that car seat for your child? That's that's the

0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:54.920
<v Speaker 1>analogy we use. So it is because it just like

0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:59.560
<v Speaker 1>any product anything, And if you knew that a bunch

0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:03.840
<v Speaker 1>of chill like then that we are using for because

0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:09.360
<v Speaker 1>climbing out of this crib. I just the one disclaimer

0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:11.600
<v Speaker 1>I want to make though, is like this is truly

0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:13.719
<v Speaker 1>this is a very personal choice. And I know that

0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:17.280
<v Speaker 1>people argue it affects others and it may, but we

0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:19.440
<v Speaker 1>all do things that affect each other every day. But

0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:21.400
<v Speaker 1>I just think this is a very personal decision. And

0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:23.760
<v Speaker 1>I think everybody needs to research on their own. As

0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:26.200
<v Speaker 1>you guys said, they need to come down to the

0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:30.000
<v Speaker 1>best choice for their family, and they also need to

0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:33.120
<v Speaker 1>research the risk on the disease and and and determine

0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:35.520
<v Speaker 1>is the risk of the disease going out weigh the

0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:37.679
<v Speaker 1>risk of the vaccine. Like, I think that's such an

0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:40.400
<v Speaker 1>important point because people you can't just go into this

0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:42.240
<v Speaker 1>blindly and be like, yeah, vaccines are unsafe. You have

0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:44.440
<v Speaker 1>to understand what you're up against and you have to

0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:47.440
<v Speaker 1>make your own decision. And I think that's why it's

0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:49.960
<v Speaker 1>not about being we we hate the term anti BAXX,

0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:52.319
<v Speaker 1>and thank you for not using it, because it's really

0:13:52.360 --> 0:13:55.760
<v Speaker 1>just about understanding that it's not one size fits all.

0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:58.680
<v Speaker 1>We want more transparency, we want more safety, and you

0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:01.240
<v Speaker 1>hear Robert advocate for at as well. We want we

0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:03.800
<v Speaker 1>want the exemptions, don't take away the exemptions, and a

0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:05.840
<v Speaker 1>lot of states are at risk for that. So I

0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:07.840
<v Speaker 1>just want to make that disclaimer that it's really just

0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:11.840
<v Speaker 1>about information, about doing your research and making the decision

0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:14.200
<v Speaker 1>that's best for your family, and we're not judging anybody

0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:17.559
<v Speaker 1>for what they do. We just want people to understand

0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:21.760
<v Speaker 1>that there is a lot of abalidity to this side. Chelsea,

0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:25.600
<v Speaker 1>what about you? Where was the spark for you? So

0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:28.840
<v Speaker 1>the spark for me was really, um, you know, when

0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:31.120
<v Speaker 1>I first started, when I was pregnant with my first child,

0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:34.000
<v Speaker 1>I just I had no idea about vaccines and I

0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:37.320
<v Speaker 1>just thought it was something you do, it's safe whatever. Um,

0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:40.720
<v Speaker 1>what really first piqued my interest was my our pediatrician,

0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:44.320
<v Speaker 1>who is very pro vaccine, told us not to do

0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:48.440
<v Speaker 1>the happy shot at birth. And that was really surprising

0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:50.640
<v Speaker 1>because then I started researching, like, well, okay, well what

0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:53.120
<v Speaker 1>about everything else? And he basically had said, yeah, I

0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:55.840
<v Speaker 1>do everything else, you know this and that, but just

0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:59.320
<v Speaker 1>don't do happy at birth. It's not necessary, it's unsafe.

0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:01.720
<v Speaker 1>And and so from there I went home and I

0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:05.760
<v Speaker 1>started reading more books and researching it more. Um, and

0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:07.880
<v Speaker 1>then I saw that on the CDC schedule that there

0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:10.080
<v Speaker 1>were four shots that they wanted to give. I think

0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:12.160
<v Speaker 1>it's what a two months old or eight weeks old,

0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:16.000
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, oh my gosh, four shots. That

0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:19.920
<v Speaker 1>that's crazy. Um. I don't even like to get shots,

0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:23.360
<v Speaker 1>much less to give my infant four shots all at once.

0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:29.200
<v Speaker 1>That it seemed strange to me and somewhat cruel that

0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:33.160
<v Speaker 1>we'd have to have their infant bodies, whose their immune

0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:36.640
<v Speaker 1>systems aren't completely developed, to fight off four viruses or

0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:39.520
<v Speaker 1>diseases all at once, when in a natural environment that

0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:43.480
<v Speaker 1>would really never happen. So that really started to pique

0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:46.400
<v Speaker 1>my interest. And then really just as a mom, initially

0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:48.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, this is just kind of cool. I don't

0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:50.440
<v Speaker 1>want to give my baby four shots all at once.

0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:53.840
<v Speaker 1>So initially it was really just I just wanted to

0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:56.240
<v Speaker 1>do one at a time and then go from there,

0:15:57.200 --> 0:15:59.560
<v Speaker 1>so doing one at a time. My daughter had an

0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:03.320
<v Speaker 1>initial adverse reaction to detail the first shot that she had,

0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:05.880
<v Speaker 1>and that was around eight months old, and then I

0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:07.920
<v Speaker 1>waited almost two years or like a year and a

0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:11.960
<v Speaker 1>half to give her her second shot of DETAP and

0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:14.000
<v Speaker 1>she was around two years old at that time, and

0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:17.000
<v Speaker 1>she had a really bad reaction to it at that time.

0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:21.320
<v Speaker 1>And since that first point of the first reaction around

0:16:21.320 --> 0:16:24.800
<v Speaker 1>her being just under a year, I started doing even

0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:27.360
<v Speaker 1>more research and more research. But again I was still

0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:29.440
<v Speaker 1>on the train of but I'm supposed to do this,

0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:31.920
<v Speaker 1>but my doctor says I should, and you know, he

0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:33.840
<v Speaker 1>even said, like, let's hold off on the detail for

0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:36.800
<v Speaker 1>a while and just do these other ones. So then

0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:38.440
<v Speaker 1>at that point I was kind of picking and choosing

0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:40.640
<v Speaker 1>which one is based on the research I did, like,

0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:47.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, does the disease outweigh the vaccine? And from there, um,

0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:49.800
<v Speaker 1>I think I was just really shocked on all of it,

0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:51.560
<v Speaker 1>and that just kind of piqued my interest in the night.

0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:54.560
<v Speaker 1>For the last three years, I've really been spending the

0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:59.240
<v Speaker 1>majority of my time researching things on vaccine safety and

0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:03.320
<v Speaker 1>really following UM Robert Kennedy Jr. In his pH d

0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:06.840
<v Speaker 1>and everything that they've been doing to advocate for this,

0:17:07.160 --> 0:17:09.800
<v Speaker 1>And I've really just had a passion for it because

0:17:10.200 --> 0:17:13.040
<v Speaker 1>I do see some of the other children suffering from

0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:17.159
<v Speaker 1>adverse reactions that people I don't think initially correlate with

0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:20.840
<v Speaker 1>vaccines UM. You know. So that's kind of where I've

0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:25.560
<v Speaker 1>started coming from. Well, speaking of Robert H. F. Kennedy Jr.

0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:27.800
<v Speaker 1>We have him in the waiting room, so should we

0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:43.600
<v Speaker 1>bring him on? Let's bring him in? Hey everybody, Hey, hey,

0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:47.639
<v Speaker 1>Mr Kennedy, how are you doing, sir? I'm great good.

0:17:47.960 --> 0:17:49.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go ahead and intro you, intro you, and

0:17:49.880 --> 0:17:55.920
<v Speaker 1>then we're gonna get going. You look beautiful. Really, it's

0:17:55.920 --> 0:18:02.800
<v Speaker 1>all make up, all right. So we have a legend

0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:06.280
<v Speaker 1>in in in our on our show today and someone

0:18:06.320 --> 0:18:08.600
<v Speaker 1>who doesn't need much of an introduction, but we have

0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:12.760
<v Speaker 1>Mr Robert Kennedy Jr. On the show. Welcome him to wind.

0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:17.880
<v Speaker 1>Mr Kennedy, thank you so much for coming on our show.

0:18:17.920 --> 0:18:20.719
<v Speaker 1>We really appreciate it. We're we're honored, honored and humbled

0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:23.080
<v Speaker 1>that you're here with us, especially to talk about something

0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:26.280
<v Speaker 1>that's uh, I think on a lot of people's minds

0:18:26.320 --> 0:18:28.280
<v Speaker 1>these days, especially with young ones for sure. And I

0:18:28.320 --> 0:18:30.440
<v Speaker 1>didn't think you were going to DM me back. My

0:18:30.560 --> 0:18:32.640
<v Speaker 1>two girlfriends and I went to high school with UM

0:18:32.920 --> 0:18:36.159
<v Speaker 1>have followed you from the beginning, and UM you know

0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:38.960
<v Speaker 1>they love everything that you do with the Children's Health

0:18:39.000 --> 0:18:41.720
<v Speaker 1>Defense Organization and you know they were the ones that

0:18:41.800 --> 0:18:45.040
<v Speaker 1>said try and get him on your podcast. And so

0:18:45.560 --> 0:18:48.400
<v Speaker 1>that's when I was like, I texted Chelsea, the beautiful

0:18:48.400 --> 0:18:51.639
<v Speaker 1>one in pink, and I said, should I ask him

0:18:51.640 --> 0:18:54.359
<v Speaker 1>a I d MM? Like, what do I do? Should

0:18:54.359 --> 0:18:59.960
<v Speaker 1>I ask him out? You can please? You a perfect

0:19:00.119 --> 0:19:05.040
<v Speaker 1>time because I'm so technologically an app that I never

0:19:05.640 --> 0:19:11.160
<v Speaker 1>looked at my d ms before. It just happened. That

0:19:11.400 --> 0:19:13.840
<v Speaker 1>guy who was staying with man said, you know there's

0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:16.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people I mean, I was like, what

0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:23.080
<v Speaker 1>does that mean perfect timing? Well, I'm gonna go ahead

0:19:23.080 --> 0:19:24.960
<v Speaker 1>and jump in here with you, Mr Kennedy, because I

0:19:24.960 --> 0:19:27.440
<v Speaker 1>know your time is valuable. And you know, we had

0:19:27.520 --> 0:19:30.000
<v Speaker 1>a doctor oz on our show a couple of weeks

0:19:30.000 --> 0:19:31.919
<v Speaker 1>ago and we got onto the topic. Janna and I

0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:33.840
<v Speaker 1>have two young little ones. We have a five and

0:19:33.840 --> 0:19:35.800
<v Speaker 1>two year old, and we got on the topic of

0:19:35.880 --> 0:19:39.119
<v Speaker 1>vaccines and he was very pro vaccine and his right

0:19:39.200 --> 0:19:42.040
<v Speaker 1>in his opinion and his expertise is great. And but

0:19:42.119 --> 0:19:44.040
<v Speaker 1>we we like to give our listeners, you know, both

0:19:44.080 --> 0:19:45.840
<v Speaker 1>sides of the coin, because we just want people to

0:19:45.880 --> 0:19:47.919
<v Speaker 1>have all the information that they can and who have

0:19:48.000 --> 0:19:49.879
<v Speaker 1>who better to talk about the other side of it

0:19:49.920 --> 0:19:52.480
<v Speaker 1>than you? And I know Janna and I have gone

0:19:52.480 --> 0:19:55.439
<v Speaker 1>back and forth a lot recently about this, and you know,

0:19:55.920 --> 0:19:58.360
<v Speaker 1>we're of those minds as we want to trust our doctors,

0:19:58.400 --> 0:20:02.000
<v Speaker 1>the people who were ed ucated and given degrees professionally

0:20:02.040 --> 0:20:05.879
<v Speaker 1>for for information that they're giving us. And at what point, like,

0:20:06.640 --> 0:20:09.560
<v Speaker 1>are we supposed to start questioning our doctors And we

0:20:09.640 --> 0:20:13.119
<v Speaker 1>want to believe these people, but you know, it's scary

0:20:13.160 --> 0:20:16.840
<v Speaker 1>to think that we have to start questioning it. I mean,

0:20:16.920 --> 0:20:21.640
<v Speaker 1>let me go back a little. Okay, Doctors are not scientists.

0:20:21.680 --> 0:20:25.400
<v Speaker 1>They're not taught you know, they're not taught science. They're

0:20:25.440 --> 0:20:28.520
<v Speaker 1>brilliant people and they go to medical school and the

0:20:28.560 --> 0:20:34.160
<v Speaker 1>medical schools are largely funded by pharmaceutical companies, and they're

0:20:34.160 --> 0:20:37.439
<v Speaker 1>taught how to recognize as the is and they're um

0:20:37.560 --> 0:20:42.119
<v Speaker 1>and they memorize huge amounts of information. But those aren't

0:20:42.160 --> 0:20:45.879
<v Speaker 1>science schools. People who are scientists have an entirely different

0:20:45.880 --> 0:20:49.639
<v Speaker 1>set of skills, which is how to read a study critically.

0:20:49.760 --> 0:20:54.880
<v Speaker 1>A lot of it is statistical and and um, my

0:20:55.160 --> 0:21:01.760
<v Speaker 1>actual my career has been in legation and and our

0:21:01.880 --> 0:21:05.439
<v Speaker 1>metal itches. I brought hundreds and hundreds of cases. I

0:21:05.520 --> 0:21:09.280
<v Speaker 1>brought the case that was on now the subject of

0:21:09.320 --> 0:21:12.880
<v Speaker 1>the film of the Mark Buffalo filta dark Quarters, which

0:21:12.920 --> 0:21:16.199
<v Speaker 1>whether it was the DuPont case, I brought the you know,

0:21:16.240 --> 0:21:19.440
<v Speaker 1>I was on the trial team in the Santo case.

0:21:19.480 --> 0:21:24.320
<v Speaker 1>But hundreds and hundreds of cases, and in every one

0:21:24.320 --> 0:21:29.600
<v Speaker 1>of those cases cecific. And so you have experts on

0:21:29.600 --> 0:21:33.240
<v Speaker 1>one side that says, you know, roundup is who's a

0:21:33.600 --> 0:21:38.240
<v Speaker 1>who swear to you very convincingly the roundup is safe

0:21:38.680 --> 0:21:41.639
<v Speaker 1>and at it quite warm cause Monta Hodgkins and fauna.

0:21:41.720 --> 0:21:44.240
<v Speaker 1>And then we have our experts that come on and say,

0:21:44.359 --> 0:21:49.440
<v Speaker 1>wait a second. The studies that you were relying on,

0:21:49.480 --> 0:21:53.880
<v Speaker 1>our studies that were done by industry, and here are

0:21:53.880 --> 0:21:56.080
<v Speaker 1>the flaws that they have in them, and they are

0:21:56.119 --> 0:22:01.080
<v Speaker 1>a deliberate deception. They're deliberate fraud. Oh, of a battleground

0:22:01.119 --> 0:22:05.640
<v Speaker 1>of the experts, and those skills to read those studies

0:22:05.680 --> 0:22:10.680
<v Speaker 1>critically are seldom taught medical school. I've talked to many

0:22:10.760 --> 0:22:14.440
<v Speaker 1>many doctors and said to them, why do you think that,

0:22:14.600 --> 0:22:18.760
<v Speaker 1>including doctor Oz, it's my friend, and I've said to him,

0:22:18.800 --> 0:22:21.600
<v Speaker 1>why do you think that the vaccine is safe? And

0:22:21.800 --> 0:22:26.280
<v Speaker 1>can you name me a study this particular vaccine. Why

0:22:26.320 --> 0:22:29.000
<v Speaker 1>do you think that that vaccine is of earning more

0:22:29.000 --> 0:22:32.280
<v Speaker 1>problems than it's causing. Showed me the science, and I'll

0:22:32.320 --> 0:22:35.520
<v Speaker 1>believe you. And you know, all the years that I've

0:22:35.560 --> 0:22:38.200
<v Speaker 1>been doing is I've never had a doctor come back

0:22:38.240 --> 0:22:41.080
<v Speaker 1>and say, oh, well you can look at the you know,

0:22:41.720 --> 0:22:45.800
<v Speaker 1>the first rat and study and or anything like that.

0:22:45.960 --> 0:22:50.800
<v Speaker 1>And what they pediatricians particularly have told me is in

0:22:50.920 --> 0:22:54.320
<v Speaker 1>medical school, we are given at most half a day

0:22:54.640 --> 0:22:58.480
<v Speaker 1>on vaccines, and we're taught here, the vaccine is that

0:22:58.560 --> 0:23:02.800
<v Speaker 1>you give. Here are the disease they prevent. If you

0:23:02.920 --> 0:23:05.919
<v Speaker 1>don't give ease, we're gonna have an influx of diseases.

0:23:06.320 --> 0:23:10.640
<v Speaker 1>And they're not taught to read the manufacturers inserts. They're

0:23:10.680 --> 0:23:13.679
<v Speaker 1>never asked to look at the ingredients of the vaccine

0:23:13.800 --> 0:23:18.000
<v Speaker 1>and and explain how mercury injected into a child is

0:23:18.080 --> 0:23:24.440
<v Speaker 1>going to leave that child's body unharmed. Listen, if somebody

0:23:24.520 --> 0:23:29.200
<v Speaker 1>says to me, here's a study body that shows you're wrong,

0:23:30.600 --> 0:23:34.200
<v Speaker 1>that shows that vaccinated kids are healthier than unvaccinated, I'll

0:23:34.200 --> 0:23:37.560
<v Speaker 1>make this pledge to you today. I will put that

0:23:37.760 --> 0:23:42.159
<v Speaker 1>study on my website. I will close down my organization,

0:23:42.280 --> 0:23:45.200
<v Speaker 1>and I'll go back to doing what a keeper full time.

0:23:46.720 --> 0:24:00.399
<v Speaker 1>I'll never find that study. Damn. I mean, I'm gonna ask.

0:24:00.440 --> 0:24:04.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna play Devil's advocate for one second and I'm

0:24:04.080 --> 0:24:08.040
<v Speaker 1>gonna ask. So you're dealing with the masses here, and

0:24:09.359 --> 0:24:14.200
<v Speaker 1>things can become subjective to an extent. Think about psychological

0:24:14.240 --> 0:24:16.359
<v Speaker 1>issues maybe kids may deal with. Maybe a kid was

0:24:16.480 --> 0:24:19.560
<v Speaker 1>neglected or abandoned as a child. You take two kids

0:24:19.560 --> 0:24:21.840
<v Speaker 1>in the same scenario. One could turn out one way.

0:24:21.880 --> 0:24:25.040
<v Speaker 1>One could turn out a completely different way, regardless of

0:24:25.080 --> 0:24:27.439
<v Speaker 1>how even if they're raised the exact same way with

0:24:27.560 --> 0:24:31.080
<v Speaker 1>some kind of abandonment and neglect, addiction in their family

0:24:31.119 --> 0:24:33.800
<v Speaker 1>or whatever, and they can still turn out completely different. Right,

0:24:34.320 --> 0:24:37.639
<v Speaker 1>So something like this, you take the vaccines, and you

0:24:37.680 --> 0:24:39.639
<v Speaker 1>have two kids, and you and you, you know, inject

0:24:39.680 --> 0:24:41.479
<v Speaker 1>them with these vaccines and the end of the end

0:24:41.480 --> 0:24:43.840
<v Speaker 1>of their life or later in their life, they could

0:24:43.880 --> 0:24:47.360
<v Speaker 1>have completely different results. Right where there's I'm sure there's

0:24:47.440 --> 0:24:49.679
<v Speaker 1>kids out there. I don't This isn't factual, just in

0:24:49.720 --> 0:24:51.760
<v Speaker 1>my opinion of playing the numbers game. I'm sure there's

0:24:51.800 --> 0:24:53.800
<v Speaker 1>kids out there that haven't had any side effects or

0:24:53.840 --> 0:24:58.040
<v Speaker 1>issues due to vaccines, and then there's kids that apparently

0:24:58.080 --> 0:25:04.520
<v Speaker 1>clearly have. So Mr Kennedy, are you trying to convince

0:25:06.040 --> 0:25:10.200
<v Speaker 1>like America to just stay away from vaccines altogether when

0:25:10.200 --> 0:25:12.520
<v Speaker 1>you have these people that have had kids or that

0:25:12.600 --> 0:25:15.000
<v Speaker 1>have had no issues like I guess, how do you

0:25:15.040 --> 0:25:17.840
<v Speaker 1>even steer people like that away? Or are they just

0:25:17.960 --> 0:25:23.760
<v Speaker 1>anomalies and you just you can't help everybody. Oh, here's

0:25:23.800 --> 0:25:26.720
<v Speaker 1>two answers questions. The first hand, there is I am

0:25:26.800 --> 0:25:32.000
<v Speaker 1>not any vaccine. I am all I've said, and I've

0:25:32.000 --> 0:25:34.760
<v Speaker 1>said that from the beginning. I had all my kids vaccinated.

0:25:34.760 --> 0:25:38.639
<v Speaker 1>All I got vacccines every single year, vaccines for twenty years.

0:25:40.080 --> 0:25:42.679
<v Speaker 1>Would I do that if I want to go back, No,

0:25:43.040 --> 0:25:46.120
<v Speaker 1>I would not, because now I know a lot about vaccines.

0:25:46.160 --> 0:25:50.760
<v Speaker 1>But I am no, I'm not ideologically against vacccines. What

0:25:52.040 --> 0:25:56.560
<v Speaker 1>I've said is if they test the vaccine like every

0:25:56.560 --> 0:25:59.840
<v Speaker 1>other medication is supposed to be tested. And I'll call

0:26:00.119 --> 0:26:04.800
<v Speaker 1>up shop. And what that means is you take a

0:26:04.920 --> 0:26:10.440
<v Speaker 1>vaccinated group and a politic EPO group, give them both

0:26:10.480 --> 0:26:14.240
<v Speaker 1>the vaccine. That's what happens, and see who has better

0:26:14.320 --> 0:26:19.159
<v Speaker 1>health outcomes, if the vaccinated children have better health outcomes,

0:26:19.200 --> 0:26:22.639
<v Speaker 1>and I close up shop and go away. But we

0:26:22.760 --> 0:26:25.160
<v Speaker 1>have on our website we've been able to go through,

0:26:25.640 --> 0:26:28.800
<v Speaker 1>you know that all of the archives of all the

0:26:28.840 --> 0:26:33.560
<v Speaker 1>medical literature. There's one place where an I age. It's

0:26:33.600 --> 0:26:36.639
<v Speaker 1>a library for all the peer reviewed studies that have

0:26:36.720 --> 0:26:40.800
<v Speaker 1>ever been done, and it's called pub med, and we

0:26:40.920 --> 0:26:44.520
<v Speaker 1>go on pub med and you know there haven't the

0:26:44.600 --> 0:26:48.399
<v Speaker 1>CDC try just to stop these studies from being done

0:26:48.600 --> 0:26:54.879
<v Speaker 1>vaccinated for its unvaccinated studies, but nevertheless, scientists have managed

0:26:54.920 --> 0:26:57.399
<v Speaker 1>throughout time to do them. And we have about the

0:26:57.440 --> 0:27:02.480
<v Speaker 1>sixth them now on my Instagram. I published them periodically

0:27:02.520 --> 0:27:06.000
<v Speaker 1>in groups in a way that's very easy to read

0:27:06.119 --> 0:27:10.240
<v Speaker 1>that anybody with the second grade education can read them,

0:27:10.359 --> 0:27:14.680
<v Speaker 1>and um, and we know what the studies say. In

0:27:14.720 --> 0:27:17.280
<v Speaker 1>every case, we've been able to find the kids who

0:27:17.280 --> 0:27:23.560
<v Speaker 1>are vaccinated have higher degrees of allergies, they have more

0:27:23.600 --> 0:27:28.200
<v Speaker 1>allergic right nitis, they have I'm more visits to the hospital,

0:27:28.240 --> 0:27:32.400
<v Speaker 1>they have much larger higher special education. They have more diabetes,

0:27:32.440 --> 0:27:37.480
<v Speaker 1>they are more arthritis there, they have shorter lifespans. And

0:27:37.560 --> 0:27:41.959
<v Speaker 1>so what I'm saying is, let's test these and listen,

0:27:42.280 --> 0:27:47.320
<v Speaker 1>they're completely the company has no incentive to make these

0:27:47.400 --> 0:27:51.720
<v Speaker 1>vaccines safe. Think of the companies that you're dealing with here.

0:27:52.600 --> 0:28:00.280
<v Speaker 1>It's four companies, Merk, synophi Isser, and uh Glaxo Smith Clients. Yeah,

0:28:01.160 --> 0:28:04.600
<v Speaker 1>those four companies, and these are the companies that brought

0:28:04.680 --> 0:28:08.679
<v Speaker 1>us the opioidmic What if you told them you can

0:28:08.720 --> 0:28:11.960
<v Speaker 1>sell all the oidiodes that you ever want and nobody

0:28:11.960 --> 0:28:15.119
<v Speaker 1>can ever be allowed to sue you. That's the position

0:28:15.119 --> 0:28:19.400
<v Speaker 1>they're in. These four companies in the last ten years

0:28:20.440 --> 0:28:26.040
<v Speaker 1>have paid thirty five billion dollars in criminal penalties and

0:28:26.160 --> 0:28:31.399
<v Speaker 1>damages for falsifying signs, for line to regulators, for defrauding doctors,

0:28:31.480 --> 0:28:37.200
<v Speaker 1>providing blackmailing, committing all kinds of criminal acts. What makes

0:28:37.240 --> 0:28:41.640
<v Speaker 1>it takes a kind of cognitive dissonance to believe that

0:28:41.680 --> 0:28:47.200
<v Speaker 1>those companies at what that that aren't doing that stuff,

0:28:47.280 --> 0:28:50.680
<v Speaker 1>even when they can get caught and get sued. Did

0:28:50.680 --> 0:28:54.800
<v Speaker 1>you read the political article that came out? Because I

0:28:54.840 --> 0:28:56.959
<v Speaker 1>was curious and what you thought about that because they

0:28:57.000 --> 0:29:02.600
<v Speaker 1>were saying that what article it? It said? It said, UM,

0:29:02.800 --> 0:29:05.280
<v Speaker 1>Robert F. K Jr. Is our brother and uncle. He's

0:29:05.320 --> 0:29:09.120
<v Speaker 1>tragically wrong about vaccines. And basically in the article it

0:29:09.200 --> 0:29:12.760
<v Speaker 1>had said UM immunizations prevent some two million to three

0:29:12.800 --> 0:29:14.840
<v Speaker 1>million deaths a year and have the potential to save

0:29:14.880 --> 0:29:17.000
<v Speaker 1>another one point five million lives. And then it was

0:29:17.040 --> 0:29:20.000
<v Speaker 1>talking about how the measles are coming back because the

0:29:20.080 --> 0:29:24.160
<v Speaker 1>kids that aren't vaccinated are now you know, uh with

0:29:24.240 --> 0:29:27.720
<v Speaker 1>a measle operate. There's like a hundred thousand plus deaths.

0:29:27.760 --> 0:29:31.320
<v Speaker 1>So where I guess that's where I get confused with

0:29:31.720 --> 0:29:35.680
<v Speaker 1>UM seeing some things and hearing other facts. It's like,

0:29:36.040 --> 0:29:39.040
<v Speaker 1>because the other kids, you know, there's now now a

0:29:39.080 --> 0:29:41.320
<v Speaker 1>measles outbreak, I'm like, what is that because the kids

0:29:41.360 --> 0:29:45.520
<v Speaker 1>weren't being vaccinated? Or how did that even come? Okay,

0:29:46.920 --> 0:29:50.760
<v Speaker 1>because you ask a lot of questions there. First of all,

0:29:51.120 --> 0:29:54.480
<v Speaker 1>is it UM isn't more than that three members of

0:29:54.520 --> 0:30:00.160
<v Speaker 1>my family got a hundred and five you know, UM

0:30:00.240 --> 0:30:03.360
<v Speaker 1>and brother, eleven brothers and sisters. Is it important that

0:30:03.440 --> 0:30:08.640
<v Speaker 1>three of them uh attacked me and uh Politico And

0:30:09.080 --> 0:30:11.560
<v Speaker 1>when I would say to you, I you know, personally,

0:30:11.600 --> 0:30:14.080
<v Speaker 1>I know a lot more about vaccines. I've spent fifteen

0:30:14.160 --> 0:30:18.480
<v Speaker 1>years litigating them. And my family has a very strong

0:30:19.240 --> 0:30:25.840
<v Speaker 1>UM relationships with the public health community. You know, I

0:30:25.880 --> 0:30:29.680
<v Speaker 1>grew up knowing Dr Fauci and Francis Collins the biggest

0:30:31.080 --> 0:30:35.040
<v Speaker 1>UM institutional and I age as the Kennedy Greegor Institute,

0:30:35.080 --> 0:30:38.320
<v Speaker 1>the Unit Shrib Institute is over there. To my family

0:30:38.400 --> 0:30:41.200
<v Speaker 1>has been intertwined with them, and my activism has been

0:30:41.240 --> 0:30:44.160
<v Speaker 1>an embarrassment to my family to member certain members of

0:30:44.200 --> 0:30:48.000
<v Speaker 1>my family who are particularly immersed in that you know area.

0:30:48.160 --> 0:30:52.320
<v Speaker 1>So and my family argues about everything we were. You know,

0:30:53.400 --> 0:30:58.000
<v Speaker 1>we were raised to will argue with each other. I

0:30:58.120 --> 0:31:01.000
<v Speaker 1>love each other, so they just doesn't up on me

0:31:01.000 --> 0:31:03.760
<v Speaker 1>at all. What bothered me a little bit about it

0:31:03.880 --> 0:31:09.280
<v Speaker 1>is that I I did. I published, I wrote and

0:31:09.440 --> 0:31:13.440
<v Speaker 1>submitted to Political a point by point refutation to every

0:31:13.480 --> 0:31:18.760
<v Speaker 1>singal on point in that article, and Political refused to publish.

0:31:18.800 --> 0:31:24.640
<v Speaker 1>And I think the censorshipation is something that should bother

0:31:24.720 --> 0:31:29.200
<v Speaker 1>every American. People who want to read my reputation UM

0:31:29.320 --> 0:31:32.720
<v Speaker 1>can go on Children's Health Defense website and read it.

0:31:32.720 --> 0:31:36.000
<v Speaker 1>It's Children's Health Defense dot org. UM if you want

0:31:36.000 --> 0:31:40.200
<v Speaker 1>to get more information. UM. The website has a lot

0:31:40.240 --> 0:31:47.280
<v Speaker 1>of resources UM, seeking justice, exposing causes, protecting the future UM,

0:31:47.400 --> 0:31:49.680
<v Speaker 1>and you know, talks all about it where you can

0:31:49.880 --> 0:31:52.760
<v Speaker 1>research and also donate to the cause as well. Well.

0:31:52.800 --> 0:31:54.880
<v Speaker 1>If I already wasn't stressed as a parent, I think

0:31:54.960 --> 0:31:58.200
<v Speaker 1>we have a lot more information to be suggested to. No.

0:31:58.360 --> 0:32:01.120
<v Speaker 1>I love it, and I'm gonna in the whole that

0:32:01.160 --> 0:32:03.200
<v Speaker 1>whole field. You know, this is a relationship show. We

0:32:03.240 --> 0:32:05.240
<v Speaker 1>talk a lot about marriage and kids and all that.

0:32:05.360 --> 0:32:08.560
<v Speaker 1>Hence why we wanted to talk about vaccinations. UM. But

0:32:08.640 --> 0:32:10.800
<v Speaker 1>you're in your third marriage to Cheryl Hines. So I'm

0:32:10.800 --> 0:32:12.840
<v Speaker 1>a big fan of big fan of curb your enthusiasm

0:32:12.920 --> 0:32:16.520
<v Speaker 1>and all of that. And so from a relationship standpoint,

0:32:16.640 --> 0:32:19.720
<v Speaker 1>what has made this marriage work for you personally over

0:32:19.800 --> 0:32:25.320
<v Speaker 1>ones in the past. Uh. Well, you know, my my,

0:32:25.520 --> 0:32:32.880
<v Speaker 1>uh my last wife tragically died, um, and Cheryl came

0:32:32.920 --> 0:32:36.880
<v Speaker 1>into my life around that time. I had six kids, um,

0:32:37.040 --> 0:32:42.840
<v Speaker 1>which she which Cheryl inherited and listening, I cannot take

0:32:42.880 --> 0:32:47.520
<v Speaker 1>any credit for it. I can my I'm literally married

0:32:47.560 --> 0:32:54.720
<v Speaker 1>to an angel and she's ah, that is so sweet her.

0:32:55.280 --> 0:33:03.040
<v Speaker 1>She's wise, she's thoughtful. Um, she is always Uh, there's

0:33:03.240 --> 0:33:07.120
<v Speaker 1>never I've never in my life in our relationship felt

0:33:07.160 --> 0:33:09.360
<v Speaker 1>like there was a quick broke while like you did

0:33:09.400 --> 0:33:11.600
<v Speaker 1>this for me and I'll do this for you. It's

0:33:11.760 --> 0:33:18.120
<v Speaker 1>all everything um is uh comes from a place of love,

0:33:18.560 --> 0:33:21.840
<v Speaker 1>you know. And I was just wanting to make the

0:33:21.920 --> 0:33:26.920
<v Speaker 1>other person feel comfortable and happy. And I feel like

0:33:27.040 --> 0:33:30.600
<v Speaker 1>if God gave me what I deserved, that I would

0:33:30.600 --> 0:33:37.520
<v Speaker 1>have been struck by lightning. But he isn't. He's Angela.

0:33:37.880 --> 0:33:41.240
<v Speaker 1>You know. The other thing, she's super smart. Cheryl came

0:33:42.640 --> 0:33:45.640
<v Speaker 1>and you know what she she's a comedian. So being

0:33:45.680 --> 0:33:48.200
<v Speaker 1>married wking what it is a better thing than being

0:33:48.200 --> 0:33:50.880
<v Speaker 1>married a comedian. She's making me, she makes me laugh

0:33:50.920 --> 0:33:55.320
<v Speaker 1>all the time, and I'm constantly astonished by her. First

0:33:55.320 --> 0:33:58.360
<v Speaker 1>of all, she is like a mom to my kids

0:33:58.720 --> 0:34:01.680
<v Speaker 1>in every way, you know, and they confide in her

0:34:01.760 --> 0:34:04.200
<v Speaker 1>and they love her. And it was a difficult transition,

0:34:04.320 --> 0:34:07.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, to go from um what they had to

0:34:07.520 --> 0:34:11.000
<v Speaker 1>go through to you know, to sort of accepting a

0:34:11.040 --> 0:34:13.560
<v Speaker 1>person in their life who they trus to know who

0:34:13.640 --> 0:34:18.120
<v Speaker 1>they love and um, and she acts in every way,

0:34:18.160 --> 0:34:22.440
<v Speaker 1>like really caring, good mother. But she has wisdom, you know, wisdom.

0:34:22.960 --> 0:34:27.120
<v Speaker 1>The word wisdom means the knowledge of God's will. It's

0:34:27.160 --> 0:34:32.840
<v Speaker 1>a it's an intuitive, um understanding of what's right and

0:34:32.880 --> 0:34:37.400
<v Speaker 1>what's wrong. And she has that gift in almost every situation.

0:34:37.640 --> 0:34:41.440
<v Speaker 1>She kind of knows immediately, um, what the right thing

0:34:41.480 --> 0:34:43.640
<v Speaker 1>to do, what the right thing to say is. I'm

0:34:43.680 --> 0:34:48.520
<v Speaker 1>always astonished when I see her on TV and um,

0:34:48.960 --> 0:34:52.360
<v Speaker 1>somebody asked her sort of an awkward question and about

0:34:52.440 --> 0:34:55.959
<v Speaker 1>how definitely she handles it so that nobody gets embarrassed

0:34:56.080 --> 0:35:02.160
<v Speaker 1>and so that it's everybody seems smart, wies and and funny,

0:35:02.760 --> 0:35:07.279
<v Speaker 1>and so I just feel like I've got a uh,

0:35:07.840 --> 0:35:11.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, I feel like I've gotten this extraordinary gift.

0:35:11.280 --> 0:35:16.440
<v Speaker 1>And for me at this point in my life, I'm

0:35:16.560 --> 0:35:20.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, I get a lot of joy from anticipating

0:35:20.080 --> 0:35:24.000
<v Speaker 1>what she what it is gonna make her happy and

0:35:24.520 --> 0:35:28.120
<v Speaker 1>um and uh, and then trying to do it without

0:35:28.160 --> 0:35:30.440
<v Speaker 1>being asked to do it. She she likes to have

0:35:30.560 --> 0:35:33.239
<v Speaker 1>the bed made in the morning, and she likes you know,

0:35:35.120 --> 0:35:38.080
<v Speaker 1>she was joking with her friend or one of her

0:35:38.120 --> 0:35:42.920
<v Speaker 1>best friends is Susan Yeagley, who is married to Kevin

0:35:43.000 --> 0:35:46.560
<v Speaker 1>Neil and and they were talking the other day and saying,

0:35:46.640 --> 0:35:49.520
<v Speaker 1>what's the sexiest thing that a man can do? And

0:35:49.600 --> 0:35:55.719
<v Speaker 1>Susie Haagley said, the dishes. That's actually a good one.

0:35:56.160 --> 0:35:59.040
<v Speaker 1>I prefer. I know, I prefer that when he cooks,

0:35:59.080 --> 0:36:00.759
<v Speaker 1>I like to do the dishes. But I do not

0:36:00.880 --> 0:36:02.759
<v Speaker 1>know how to cook. I'm not a chef. It's not

0:36:02.920 --> 0:36:06.200
<v Speaker 1>it's not my thing. Well, Mr Kennedy, thank you so

0:36:46.360 --> 0:36:48.800
<v Speaker 1>I was on it I think earlier today, so I

0:36:49.040 --> 0:36:52.600
<v Speaker 1>know what I heard they were opening a little. Usually

0:36:53.320 --> 0:36:55.160
<v Speaker 1>what they did is they shut it down so you

0:36:55.200 --> 0:37:00.680
<v Speaker 1>couldn't find it unless you wrote Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Oh, yeah, enproning.

0:37:30.000 --> 0:37:33.200
<v Speaker 1>just wanted to gather some professionals who know way more

0:37:33.280 --> 0:37:36.480
<v Speaker 1>than us about the topics the sense of topics that

0:37:36.520 --> 0:37:40.360
<v Speaker 1>we talk about UM on today's episode and just in general.

0:37:40.400 --> 0:37:43.200
<v Speaker 1>And so we had were joined by Dr Abe Malkin,

0:37:57.520 --> 0:37:59.600
<v Speaker 1>more certified than any of us. And we went to

0:37:59.719 --> 0:38:01.920
<v Speaker 1>welcome dr Ape to the show. Dr thank you so

0:38:02.000 --> 0:38:04.319
<v Speaker 1>much for joining us. Yeah, nice to do with you guys.

0:38:04.360 --> 0:38:06.920
<v Speaker 1>Thanks for having me. Oh absolutely, you know, we we

0:38:06.960 --> 0:38:09.440
<v Speaker 1>wanted you to come on today because we talked to

0:38:09.600 --> 0:38:13.880
<v Speaker 1>Robert Kennedy Jr. U earlier in the show, and you know,

0:38:14.040 --> 0:38:17.719
<v Speaker 1>it's amazing how there's these certain topics right in in

0:38:17.760 --> 0:38:19.960
<v Speaker 1>life and in society that we talk about. And what

0:38:19.960 --> 0:38:21.319
<v Speaker 1>we were talking about with him was a lot about

0:38:21.400 --> 0:38:24.880
<v Speaker 1>vaccinations and it gets so personal. It's just like politics

0:38:24.920 --> 0:38:26.920
<v Speaker 1>in general. Right, It's just one of those topics that

0:38:27.680 --> 0:38:29.799
<v Speaker 1>it's hard for people to see the other side of

0:38:29.800 --> 0:38:31.960
<v Speaker 1>the coin because it just feels so personal, and they

0:38:32.000 --> 0:38:34.719
<v Speaker 1>make it so personal because it is, especially when it

0:38:34.760 --> 0:38:37.880
<v Speaker 1>comes to your children, like vaccinations and so on. And

0:38:37.960 --> 0:38:40.560
<v Speaker 1>so just to pick up where we left off with

0:38:40.560 --> 0:38:45.600
<v Speaker 1>with RFK Jr. Is the whole vaccination thing from your expertise,

0:38:45.640 --> 0:38:48.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, your doctor and family medicine, and I'm sure

0:38:48.160 --> 0:38:52.239
<v Speaker 1>you talked to parents and children. For you, when you're

0:38:52.280 --> 0:38:55.120
<v Speaker 1>talking to these parents and reassuring them and maybe what

0:38:55.160 --> 0:38:57.320
<v Speaker 1>they want to do, how do you approach such a

0:38:57.400 --> 0:39:02.640
<v Speaker 1>topic as this. Yeah, I you have to be considered

0:39:02.760 --> 0:39:06.320
<v Speaker 1>of the fact that parents are, you know, concerned about

0:39:06.320 --> 0:39:09.640
<v Speaker 1>what they hear out in the media, and uh, you know,

0:39:09.719 --> 0:39:14.960
<v Speaker 1>these are their precious children. So although we as doctors

0:39:14.960 --> 0:39:17.880
<v Speaker 1>can sometimes tend to be a little bit more medical

0:39:17.920 --> 0:39:21.480
<v Speaker 1>and scientific given our training, you know, there's definitely a

0:39:21.560 --> 0:39:25.359
<v Speaker 1>human element to this and uh that needs to be addressed. So,

0:39:25.920 --> 0:39:27.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, whenever I talk to parents about vaccination, but

0:39:28.040 --> 0:39:31.279
<v Speaker 1>I do recognize that there are different opinions, although you know,

0:39:31.480 --> 0:39:35.000
<v Speaker 1>certainly in the minority, but that has to be reconciled.

0:39:35.560 --> 0:39:37.920
<v Speaker 1>When you're talking about a young child, the baby, you know,

0:39:37.960 --> 0:39:43.040
<v Speaker 1>getting vaccines, vaccination shots. It can be jarring to a parent,

0:39:43.160 --> 0:39:45.480
<v Speaker 1>especially when they hear things that make it seem like

0:39:45.520 --> 0:39:48.279
<v Speaker 1>that could be harmful to them. Um. But what I

0:39:48.280 --> 0:39:50.359
<v Speaker 1>try to do is really stick to some of the

0:39:50.360 --> 0:39:54.920
<v Speaker 1>facts that that you know, uh indicate the vast majority

0:39:54.920 --> 0:39:59.120
<v Speaker 1>of people support vaccines, but also address the human element,

0:39:59.280 --> 0:40:02.759
<v Speaker 1>and you know, talk to a parent like as just

0:40:02.800 --> 0:40:06.760
<v Speaker 1>another caring individual where my goal is not just simply

0:40:06.800 --> 0:40:08.919
<v Speaker 1>to follow a protocol, but actually to do what's best

0:40:08.920 --> 0:40:12.080
<v Speaker 1>and the best interests of their child, um, which ultimately

0:40:12.160 --> 0:40:15.239
<v Speaker 1>give them the most healthy and fruitful life. So I

0:40:15.239 --> 0:40:19.560
<v Speaker 1>think coming out from that angle, the more impassioned empathetic

0:40:19.960 --> 0:40:23.360
<v Speaker 1>stance definitely helps a lot in having those discussions with parents.

0:40:23.960 --> 0:40:26.520
<v Speaker 1>Is it I make up in my own mind that

0:40:26.560 --> 0:40:29.360
<v Speaker 1>it could be frustrating because if I was an expert

0:40:29.400 --> 0:40:31.640
<v Speaker 1>at one thing, and if I heard just people coming

0:40:31.640 --> 0:40:34.640
<v Speaker 1>into my office on a regular base basis saying I

0:40:34.760 --> 0:40:38.160
<v Speaker 1>read that, I heard you know this, someone said this.

0:40:38.840 --> 0:40:41.480
<v Speaker 1>And when you're hit with that, is it? I mean,

0:40:41.640 --> 0:40:43.960
<v Speaker 1>you're a human too. Is it frustrating at times? And

0:40:44.239 --> 0:40:47.280
<v Speaker 1>when you're trying to to do the best for your patients?

0:40:47.320 --> 0:40:49.800
<v Speaker 1>How do you handle that? Like as a clinical professional

0:40:49.840 --> 0:40:52.880
<v Speaker 1>who went to school to know more information than the

0:40:52.920 --> 0:40:55.319
<v Speaker 1>general public, right, and when you have people saying, well,

0:40:55.360 --> 0:40:57.120
<v Speaker 1>I read on this, I've heard this, and how do

0:40:57.160 --> 0:40:59.520
<v Speaker 1>you kind of handle that aspect? Yeah, I mean I

0:40:59.600 --> 0:41:04.120
<v Speaker 1>think medicine as a whole is constantly evolving. So it's

0:41:04.120 --> 0:41:06.560
<v Speaker 1>not as though we live in this dogmatic world where

0:41:06.880 --> 0:41:09.160
<v Speaker 1>you know one thing is true and it's true forever

0:41:09.360 --> 0:41:12.759
<v Speaker 1>and and you know we we're not. We're very inflexible. Uh.

0:41:12.800 --> 0:41:15.759
<v Speaker 1>That being said, in medicine, we do change at a

0:41:15.840 --> 0:41:18.920
<v Speaker 1>very glacial pace, in the sense that in order for

0:41:19.000 --> 0:41:23.200
<v Speaker 1>something to be adopted as practice current practice of care,

0:41:23.719 --> 0:41:27.080
<v Speaker 1>it needs to have randomized controlled trials, large scale studies

0:41:27.200 --> 0:41:30.960
<v Speaker 1>vetted by professionals in order to change our practice behavior. So,

0:41:31.480 --> 0:41:33.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, we do here all the time. I saw

0:41:33.200 --> 0:41:35.360
<v Speaker 1>this on WebMD or heard this on Dr Google or

0:41:35.360 --> 0:41:38.800
<v Speaker 1>my friend told me this. But that doesn't change our

0:41:38.880 --> 0:41:42.280
<v Speaker 1>practice behavior. What does change our practice behavior is randomized

0:41:42.280 --> 0:41:44.760
<v Speaker 1>controlled trials that are vetted and published by the medical

0:41:45.080 --> 0:41:48.880
<v Speaker 1>the medical community. So, um, that's what we go by

0:41:48.960 --> 0:41:52.680
<v Speaker 1>as physicians, you know, because it does allow us to

0:41:52.800 --> 0:41:55.880
<v Speaker 1>fall back on knowing that those have been really vetted studies.

0:41:56.239 --> 0:42:01.320
<v Speaker 1>You know, hearsay anecdotal evidence, you know, maybe impetus for change,

0:42:01.560 --> 0:42:04.279
<v Speaker 1>but it's certainly not something that's gonna lead to a

0:42:04.320 --> 0:42:07.400
<v Speaker 1>full scale change in our behavior. What I don't know

0:42:07.440 --> 0:42:09.640
<v Speaker 1>if you've heard, if you heard some of the Robert

0:42:09.719 --> 0:42:14.040
<v Speaker 1>Kennedy junior interview, But when he says that there like

0:42:14.600 --> 0:42:18.400
<v Speaker 1>he wants the scientific proof behind it, and that like

0:42:18.480 --> 0:42:21.240
<v Speaker 1>he would love that evidence, and then he would basically

0:42:21.320 --> 0:42:24.120
<v Speaker 1>stop talking about that. Why, I mean, is there a

0:42:24.160 --> 0:42:30.000
<v Speaker 1>scientific evidence or is there not? So there there's many,

0:42:30.239 --> 0:42:35.040
<v Speaker 1>many studies that show the efficacy of vaccines. Each vaccine

0:42:35.080 --> 0:42:39.680
<v Speaker 1>itself has a myriad of literature supporting it, whether it

0:42:39.760 --> 0:42:45.440
<v Speaker 1>be flu vaccines, MMR, measles, yellow fever, smallpox, these have

0:42:45.480 --> 0:42:48.800
<v Speaker 1>all been studied in numerous studies that have shown the

0:42:48.800 --> 0:42:54.480
<v Speaker 1>efficacy and the drastic, drastic reduction in cases um, you know,

0:42:54.719 --> 0:42:58.040
<v Speaker 1>using the vaccine. And conversely, there have been studies that

0:42:58.080 --> 0:43:02.560
<v Speaker 1>have shown that UH risks and the negative effects that

0:43:03.360 --> 0:43:08.200
<v Speaker 1>anti vaccination individuals claim are just not substantiated. You know.

0:43:08.239 --> 0:43:12.320
<v Speaker 1>The biggest one, of course, was study that Dr Wakefield,

0:43:12.560 --> 0:43:16.120
<v Speaker 1>who kind of pioneering in the anti vaccination movement UH

0:43:16.680 --> 0:43:20.160
<v Speaker 1>provided to show that you know, MMR vaccine caused autism,

0:43:20.520 --> 0:43:24.000
<v Speaker 1>and very shortly thereafter that was debunked by a number

0:43:24.040 --> 0:43:27.120
<v Speaker 1>of people in the medical community, where in fact, when

0:43:27.120 --> 0:43:29.719
<v Speaker 1>it's far to say that his results were falsified. So

0:43:31.000 --> 0:43:36.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't really understand that position that there isn't scientific evidence.

0:43:36.719 --> 0:43:40.839
<v Speaker 1>There's a vast abundance of evidence, um And I think

0:43:40.880 --> 0:43:45.879
<v Speaker 1>there may be small scales studies done by questionable individuals

0:43:45.880 --> 0:43:49.680
<v Speaker 1>that may show differing opinions, but that's certainly not the majority.

0:43:49.960 --> 0:43:53.400
<v Speaker 1>And you know, there's plenty of evidence on the contrary.

0:43:53.680 --> 0:43:55.640
<v Speaker 1>You know. I was when we were talking to him,

0:43:55.680 --> 0:43:57.960
<v Speaker 1>I kind of played Devil's advocate and I asked him,

0:43:57.960 --> 0:44:01.000
<v Speaker 1>I was like, you know, is what he was ultimately

0:44:01.040 --> 0:44:03.399
<v Speaker 1>saying is he doesn't believe it's a one size fits

0:44:03.400 --> 0:44:06.960
<v Speaker 1>all kind of mentality, which I get but at the

0:44:07.000 --> 0:44:10.239
<v Speaker 1>same time, you're trying to provide something to the masses, right,

0:44:10.480 --> 0:44:16.000
<v Speaker 1>and each vaccination can't be a customizable thing per individual.

0:44:16.120 --> 0:44:19.239
<v Speaker 1>That's just I don't know how that's medically or financially possible,

0:44:19.800 --> 0:44:21.960
<v Speaker 1>right to test it or do all those things. So

0:44:21.960 --> 0:44:24.160
<v Speaker 1>I asked him. I was like, isn't there just gonna

0:44:24.200 --> 0:44:26.640
<v Speaker 1>be no matter what you do, there's gonna be some fallout,

0:44:26.680 --> 0:44:29.040
<v Speaker 1>There's gonna be some side effects, Like it's a numbers game,

0:44:29.120 --> 0:44:31.799
<v Speaker 1>So not everyone is going to react the same way

0:44:31.840 --> 0:44:34.840
<v Speaker 1>to every medication, right. That that's why there's multiple different

0:44:34.840 --> 0:44:38.680
<v Speaker 1>metal medications to treat the same symptom or the same issue,

0:44:38.760 --> 0:44:42.640
<v Speaker 1>because people react differently. And I make up that for vaccinations.

0:44:42.680 --> 0:44:44.760
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of the same. People are going to react differently.

0:44:44.960 --> 0:44:49.400
<v Speaker 1>It's unfortunate, it sucks, but that's also life, right Like

0:44:49.440 --> 0:44:52.480
<v Speaker 1>car accidents. Sometimes it's just an accident. It's no one's fault.

0:44:52.920 --> 0:44:55.080
<v Speaker 1>And you know, I don't mean to compare. I would

0:44:55.080 --> 0:44:56.759
<v Speaker 1>just say that I'm one thing though, if you know,

0:44:56.760 --> 0:45:00.680
<v Speaker 1>because I've saw something on Instagram and a baby died

0:45:01.120 --> 0:45:03.719
<v Speaker 1>young because of vaccination, if that was your baby in

0:45:03.800 --> 0:45:05.799
<v Speaker 1>that died, you might take a different stance on it

0:45:05.920 --> 0:45:07.600
<v Speaker 1>just be like, oh, sure, you know, that's where I

0:45:07.600 --> 0:45:10.760
<v Speaker 1>would be like, no, that's why it's hard, No for sure.

0:45:10.840 --> 0:45:13.480
<v Speaker 1>And how do they know that they baby died from

0:45:13.800 --> 0:45:17.000
<v Speaker 1>vaccination helplication? They like right after they got it, baby

0:45:17.040 --> 0:45:20.759
<v Speaker 1>went like bad red plotches everywhere. And then it is

0:45:21.040 --> 0:45:24.439
<v Speaker 1>that something that does happen every once in a while. Yeah,

0:45:24.440 --> 0:45:27.800
<v Speaker 1>And you bring up a really great point, Michael Um

0:45:27.840 --> 0:45:31.840
<v Speaker 1>that this is not one size fits all. As with anything,

0:45:31.880 --> 0:45:35.120
<v Speaker 1>there's going to be outliers. So for example, you know,

0:45:35.160 --> 0:45:37.920
<v Speaker 1>babies that are you know, compromised will not do well

0:45:38.000 --> 0:45:42.920
<v Speaker 1>with a vaccine because you're introducing a potentially harmful element

0:45:42.960 --> 0:45:45.040
<v Speaker 1>into their body. But that's again that's a you know,

0:45:45.360 --> 0:45:50.520
<v Speaker 1>infantestily small number of children, um children who have severe

0:45:50.640 --> 0:45:54.120
<v Speaker 1>allergic reaction. To your point that certainly those will be

0:45:54.160 --> 0:45:58.040
<v Speaker 1>at risk. So and again what you have to you know,

0:45:58.360 --> 0:46:00.560
<v Speaker 1>and again if it is your child, to your baby,

0:46:00.680 --> 0:46:03.960
<v Speaker 1>you certainly wouldn't look at this objectively. You have a

0:46:04.040 --> 0:46:06.960
<v Speaker 1>much more subjective emotional response to it. But as a

0:46:06.960 --> 0:46:10.040
<v Speaker 1>as a society, as a health public health issue, we

0:46:10.120 --> 0:46:12.520
<v Speaker 1>do have to think about what is best for the

0:46:12.560 --> 0:46:15.319
<v Speaker 1>greatest good. And I think at this point. You know,

0:46:16.200 --> 0:46:20.160
<v Speaker 1>mass vaccinations are certainly out benefit that way as the risk.

0:46:20.680 --> 0:46:22.440
<v Speaker 1>And then you know, in the future we are going

0:46:22.480 --> 0:46:26.160
<v Speaker 1>to work towards personalized medicine. We are seeing genetic testing

0:46:26.200 --> 0:46:29.439
<v Speaker 1>done in and more an adult setting, to to personalize antibiotics,

0:46:29.440 --> 0:46:32.919
<v Speaker 1>to personalize psychiatric medications. You know, I could see ten

0:46:32.960 --> 0:46:34.879
<v Speaker 1>twenty years down the line where when a baby is born,

0:46:34.920 --> 0:46:36.600
<v Speaker 1>we have their full genetic map and we know how

0:46:36.600 --> 0:46:40.360
<v Speaker 1>to tailor vaccines and medications to fit that fit them personally.

0:46:40.400 --> 0:46:43.880
<v Speaker 1>So I think things will continue to improve, but in

0:46:43.920 --> 0:46:46.560
<v Speaker 1>the meantime, this is definitely the best we have out there.

0:46:47.000 --> 0:46:50.520
<v Speaker 1>What about when they say that the vaccinations aren't being tested,

0:46:50.960 --> 0:46:55.320
<v Speaker 1>is that is that false or it's it's certainly false.

0:46:55.400 --> 0:46:56.799
<v Speaker 1>You know. The reason that it takes so long for

0:46:56.840 --> 0:47:02.040
<v Speaker 1>a COVID vaccine is because there's four stages of testing

0:47:02.040 --> 0:47:04.600
<v Speaker 1>the vaccines have to go through. First, it has to

0:47:05.160 --> 0:47:07.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, first they have to test it to make

0:47:07.040 --> 0:47:09.520
<v Speaker 1>sure it makes sense scientifically. Then they have to make

0:47:09.520 --> 0:47:11.399
<v Speaker 1>sure that it's effective, Then they have to make sure

0:47:11.440 --> 0:47:13.600
<v Speaker 1>it's safe. Then they have to test it in humans.

0:47:13.600 --> 0:47:16.000
<v Speaker 1>So every vaccine has to go through that in order

0:47:16.000 --> 0:47:18.239
<v Speaker 1>to obtain it. The approval and how come there's so

0:47:18.360 --> 0:47:20.560
<v Speaker 1>much more, Like I mean, as a baby, I didn't

0:47:20.600 --> 0:47:23.640
<v Speaker 1>get these many vaccines um and then there's so much

0:47:23.680 --> 0:47:26.160
<v Speaker 1>more in the vaccines now too. You know some of

0:47:26.200 --> 0:47:29.279
<v Speaker 1>the things that I read, I'm like, that's in there? Um?

0:47:29.320 --> 0:47:32.560
<v Speaker 1>You know? Is that? Is that just the progress of

0:47:32.600 --> 0:47:37.320
<v Speaker 1>how you know, the vaccinations are being made um to

0:47:37.320 --> 0:47:40.680
<v Speaker 1>to help these other diseases or like what what? Why?

0:47:40.840 --> 0:47:42.880
<v Speaker 1>I just I don't know why am I going to

0:47:43.000 --> 0:47:45.160
<v Speaker 1>lack something because I didn't get the same vaccinations that

0:47:45.200 --> 0:47:50.319
<v Speaker 1>my kids did? Or so we definitely do modify vaccines

0:47:50.400 --> 0:47:54.120
<v Speaker 1>to target, you know, different public health issues. So measles

0:47:54.200 --> 0:47:57.560
<v Speaker 1>vaccines obviously became much more popular and we've basically eradicated

0:47:57.640 --> 0:48:00.960
<v Speaker 1>measles as a result. In fact, some of the ingredients

0:48:01.000 --> 0:48:03.080
<v Speaker 1>have actually been taken out. So mercury is obviously a

0:48:03.120 --> 0:48:05.800
<v Speaker 1>hot topic when it comes to vaccines. Let's just address

0:48:05.880 --> 0:48:09.640
<v Speaker 1>the mercury. There's actually very few vaccines now that do

0:48:09.719 --> 0:48:12.839
<v Speaker 1>contain mercury. And the reason they use mercury, and it's

0:48:12.840 --> 0:48:17.840
<v Speaker 1>called thermosol, is because it's actually an antimicrobial agent that

0:48:17.920 --> 0:48:23.200
<v Speaker 1>helps prevent fungus and bacteria from growing inside of a vaccine. Bottle.

0:48:23.719 --> 0:48:26.799
<v Speaker 1>And the reason we that's important is because in order

0:48:26.840 --> 0:48:30.480
<v Speaker 1>to produce enough vaccines to vaccinate the entire population of children,

0:48:30.640 --> 0:48:33.160
<v Speaker 1>we need to use multidose files. It's very expensive to

0:48:33.200 --> 0:48:35.880
<v Speaker 1>use single dose files for every single child. So if

0:48:35.880 --> 0:48:38.520
<v Speaker 1>you're using a multidose file and it's uh, you know,

0:48:38.560 --> 0:48:40.279
<v Speaker 1>going to be on the shelf for a week or

0:48:40.320 --> 0:48:42.880
<v Speaker 1>two weeks while you're using it from different children in

0:48:42.960 --> 0:48:46.000
<v Speaker 1>order to prevent it from developing infection within the bile,

0:48:46.280 --> 0:48:50.120
<v Speaker 1>mercury is helpful, so uh it. But in the last

0:48:50.120 --> 0:48:53.160
<v Speaker 1>ten years, the FDA has really come down and removed

0:48:53.320 --> 0:48:56.399
<v Speaker 1>mercury from almost all vaccines that we use. The only

0:48:56.440 --> 0:48:58.080
<v Speaker 1>two that it really is still used for is the

0:48:58.160 --> 0:49:01.439
<v Speaker 1>D TAP and T TAP vaccines because it's just there's

0:49:01.440 --> 0:49:03.959
<v Speaker 1>four different vaccines than one, and it's a multitose file,

0:49:04.120 --> 0:49:07.840
<v Speaker 1>and it's often you know, it needs to be sterile.

0:49:08.239 --> 0:49:09.960
<v Speaker 1>So to your point, that was along with the answer

0:49:09.960 --> 0:49:11.759
<v Speaker 1>to say, we actually have done a good job of

0:49:12.080 --> 0:49:15.360
<v Speaker 1>removing certain things for vaccines which may potentially be harmful.

0:49:16.560 --> 0:49:22.880
<v Speaker 1>Is it, you know, like we're talking about obviously someone

0:49:22.960 --> 0:49:28.719
<v Speaker 1>who is experienced the negative outcome of a vaccine with

0:49:28.760 --> 0:49:32.759
<v Speaker 1>their children, as obviously more subjected to, you know, the

0:49:32.760 --> 0:49:37.480
<v Speaker 1>emotional response around this topic. Have you known any doctors

0:49:37.520 --> 0:49:41.880
<v Speaker 1>or clinical professionals that have had children that have suffered

0:49:41.920 --> 0:49:46.560
<v Speaker 1>from that unfortunate, you know, circumstance and either change their

0:49:46.600 --> 0:49:51.759
<v Speaker 1>position or still been like, well, they understand the possibility

0:49:51.840 --> 0:49:55.600
<v Speaker 1>of some negative outcome. Yeah, I mean, I personally have

0:49:55.640 --> 0:49:58.080
<v Speaker 1>not known anyone that had that outcome. But I think

0:49:58.320 --> 0:50:00.440
<v Speaker 1>to your point earlier, I think we all do come

0:50:00.440 --> 0:50:04.319
<v Speaker 1>at this from an empathetic standpoint, and we can understand

0:50:04.440 --> 0:50:07.320
<v Speaker 1>the reason why someone who, especially if they had a

0:50:07.320 --> 0:50:09.399
<v Speaker 1>bad outcome or their friend at a bad outcome, would

0:50:09.520 --> 0:50:12.520
<v Speaker 1>want to take that stance. But we treat on a

0:50:12.520 --> 0:50:15.239
<v Speaker 1>public health basis. We we at this point, we it's

0:50:15.280 --> 0:50:19.560
<v Speaker 1>it's not feasible to treat every single individual child differently

0:50:19.640 --> 0:50:22.440
<v Speaker 1>because we just wouldn't be able to to vaccinate effectively

0:50:22.440 --> 0:50:25.759
<v Speaker 1>at that point. And you know, herd immunity is a

0:50:25.800 --> 0:50:29.440
<v Speaker 1>real thing, So if a certain number of children in

0:50:29.480 --> 0:50:32.960
<v Speaker 1>the community are being vaccinated, it prevents all children. So

0:50:33.000 --> 0:50:35.680
<v Speaker 1>it's really important. You know, even if a couple of

0:50:35.800 --> 0:50:39.480
<v Speaker 1>children decide to to remove themselves or their parents decide

0:50:39.520 --> 0:50:41.920
<v Speaker 1>to remove them, because the vast majority of the children

0:50:41.920 --> 0:50:45.840
<v Speaker 1>are being vaccinated, those children actually do afford the benefit

0:50:45.880 --> 0:50:49.640
<v Speaker 1>of vaccination. So I understand if people individual and an

0:50:49.640 --> 0:50:53.000
<v Speaker 1>individual basis need to remove themselves for certain reasons, but

0:50:53.360 --> 0:50:55.920
<v Speaker 1>we really do need to maintain her immunity because that's

0:50:55.920 --> 0:50:58.480
<v Speaker 1>incredibly important, even for those children that don't get back.

0:50:59.040 --> 0:51:00.719
<v Speaker 1>I was just gonna ask him, this is my my

0:51:00.840 --> 0:51:03.360
<v Speaker 1>last question around the vaccination that I want to change gears,

0:51:03.400 --> 0:51:10.080
<v Speaker 1>But do you think it's uh appropriate that whether it's

0:51:10.120 --> 0:51:14.440
<v Speaker 1>government or states or whatever can determine, you know, can

0:51:14.520 --> 0:51:18.840
<v Speaker 1>make vaccinations mandatory. Do you think that in your personal

0:51:18.880 --> 0:51:20.959
<v Speaker 1>belief do you think that's appropriate or like you said,

0:51:20.960 --> 0:51:25.279
<v Speaker 1>if it's a herd immunity, still I make up that

0:51:25.320 --> 0:51:28.800
<v Speaker 1>the higher population is still gonna, you know, use vaccinations

0:51:28.840 --> 0:51:31.520
<v Speaker 1>and everything that if you do have those outliers that

0:51:31.600 --> 0:51:33.719
<v Speaker 1>for religious beliefs, personal belifs, whatever it may be, and

0:51:33.760 --> 0:51:36.080
<v Speaker 1>they choose not to, it's like, okay, you choose not to,

0:51:36.200 --> 0:51:38.080
<v Speaker 1>but at least we still have the majority that are

0:51:38.080 --> 0:51:42.239
<v Speaker 1>being vaccinated. So that's a that's a mine field of

0:51:42.239 --> 0:51:47.200
<v Speaker 1>a question. Um, you know, I will say that from

0:51:47.200 --> 0:51:50.880
<v Speaker 1>a personal perspective, given that I think the benefits of

0:51:50.960 --> 0:51:54.840
<v Speaker 1>vaccine are extremely valuable. I think that for certain people

0:51:54.880 --> 0:51:58.040
<v Speaker 1>involved in a group setting, whether it be schools or

0:51:58.120 --> 0:52:02.719
<v Speaker 1>other public functions, you know, vaccines can be required. But

0:52:02.840 --> 0:52:06.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that, you know, on a just freedom level,

0:52:07.160 --> 0:52:09.600
<v Speaker 1>people should have to vaccinate their children if they choose

0:52:09.600 --> 0:52:12.719
<v Speaker 1>to homeschool or if they choose to remove them in

0:52:12.760 --> 0:52:17.799
<v Speaker 1>other ways from a public setting. But obviously that's very difficult.

0:52:17.960 --> 0:52:21.120
<v Speaker 1>So in reality, it would probably be a scenario which

0:52:21.120 --> 0:52:24.600
<v Speaker 1>someone would have together because vaccinated understandable. Okay, I want

0:52:24.600 --> 0:52:27.080
<v Speaker 1>to shift gears real quick, because it says you're also

0:52:27.160 --> 0:52:31.040
<v Speaker 1>a Board certified Addiction Medicine a member of the American

0:52:31.120 --> 0:52:36.160
<v Speaker 1>Society of Addiction Medicine UM, being one who suffers from

0:52:36.160 --> 0:52:40.919
<v Speaker 1>an addiction, not you know, a substance addiction. But I'm

0:52:40.920 --> 0:52:43.320
<v Speaker 1>just curious around that. I haven't heard much about addiction

0:52:43.360 --> 0:52:46.279
<v Speaker 1>medicine UM. Can you just kind of film myself in

0:52:46.360 --> 0:52:50.040
<v Speaker 1>our listeners in and kind of what that is? Sure? So, uh,

0:52:50.120 --> 0:52:52.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, over the last ten twenty years, we've really

0:52:52.560 --> 0:52:55.160
<v Speaker 1>started to see addiction more of a disease as as

0:52:55.160 --> 0:52:58.600
<v Speaker 1>opposed to a behavior choice. You know, addiction used to be,

0:52:58.800 --> 0:53:01.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, something that we or to criticize. People are

0:53:01.200 --> 0:53:04.840
<v Speaker 1>ridiculed them because of their choices, but now we're realizing

0:53:04.880 --> 0:53:07.640
<v Speaker 1>it's it's a it's a it's a disease, just like diabetes,

0:53:07.960 --> 0:53:12.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, cancer, other things where once a person develops

0:53:12.040 --> 0:53:16.120
<v Speaker 1>that addiction, whether it be through genetic reasons or you know,

0:53:16.280 --> 0:53:19.160
<v Speaker 1>behavioral issues as a child, they really don't have a

0:53:19.160 --> 0:53:22.040
<v Speaker 1>lot of choice in the matter and need medical help.

0:53:22.200 --> 0:53:25.160
<v Speaker 1>So I work with a lot of patients with multi

0:53:25.280 --> 0:53:30.919
<v Speaker 1>substance issues, whether it be alcohol, opiates, Benzo's, gambling, other

0:53:30.960 --> 0:53:34.879
<v Speaker 1>types of addictions, and really try to help them either

0:53:35.280 --> 0:53:39.279
<v Speaker 1>in a pharmaceutical way or in a behavioral therapy way

0:53:39.320 --> 0:53:42.600
<v Speaker 1>to battle those addictions. And it's very gratifying for me

0:53:42.719 --> 0:53:45.560
<v Speaker 1>because I'm seeing people that in other areas of their

0:53:45.600 --> 0:53:49.080
<v Speaker 1>life are excelling, but have unfortunately addiction problems that are

0:53:49.080 --> 0:53:52.600
<v Speaker 1>really limiting them reaching the full potential. So um I

0:53:52.760 --> 0:53:56.160
<v Speaker 1>do my practice specifically, I work with patients sort of

0:53:56.200 --> 0:54:00.600
<v Speaker 1>on a very individual in home concierge model, whereas there's

0:54:00.640 --> 0:54:02.880
<v Speaker 1>many many other options for patients who need to go

0:54:02.920 --> 0:54:05.799
<v Speaker 1>into a residential treatment setting or an OPICII program or

0:54:05.840 --> 0:54:09.880
<v Speaker 1>a manages a little bit more individualized. Have you found

0:54:09.960 --> 0:54:13.640
<v Speaker 1>with the more substance abuse driven addictions with you know,

0:54:14.040 --> 0:54:17.480
<v Speaker 1>narcotics or alcohol, that there is some kind of pharmaceutical

0:54:17.960 --> 0:54:22.640
<v Speaker 1>remedy for that. Yeah, So I would say about fifty

0:54:22.680 --> 0:54:26.279
<v Speaker 1>percent of addiction is genetic and it's very hard to that.

0:54:26.360 --> 0:54:30.280
<v Speaker 1>The other fifty percent is due to dopamine pleasure reward

0:54:30.320 --> 0:54:33.200
<v Speaker 1>pathways in the brain. So when you see something it

0:54:33.239 --> 0:54:37.160
<v Speaker 1>triggers a certain emotion or feeling that it causes a

0:54:37.200 --> 0:54:40.000
<v Speaker 1>certain behavior. So I would say that aspect of addiction

0:54:40.080 --> 0:54:42.840
<v Speaker 1>can be treated pharmaceutically, the genetic component to it is

0:54:42.920 --> 0:54:45.520
<v Speaker 1>very hard to So you know, there are there are

0:54:45.560 --> 0:54:50.680
<v Speaker 1>medications out there that block the receptor that that substance triggers.

0:54:50.840 --> 0:54:54.520
<v Speaker 1>So for example, take a drink of alcohol, it's stimulate

0:54:54.800 --> 0:54:57.879
<v Speaker 1>or us. An opiate stimulates opioid receptor in your brain

0:54:57.960 --> 0:55:00.480
<v Speaker 1>that releases dopamine that makes you feel good. If you

0:55:00.480 --> 0:55:02.480
<v Speaker 1>can block that receptor so that when you take the

0:55:02.560 --> 0:55:05.040
<v Speaker 1>drink of alcohol, you use that Okay, you don't feel

0:55:05.040 --> 0:55:10.520
<v Speaker 1>that euphoria. That now breaks the that positive feedback mechanism

0:55:10.600 --> 0:55:12.719
<v Speaker 1>that wants you to keep doing more and more. So

0:55:12.800 --> 0:55:15.040
<v Speaker 1>this is not a full proof, but this is definitely

0:55:15.040 --> 0:55:17.800
<v Speaker 1>something helpful pharmacologically that can help a lot of people.

0:55:18.000 --> 0:55:21.080
<v Speaker 1>That's really interesting and so I mean, I'm a we're

0:55:21.120 --> 0:55:23.000
<v Speaker 1>open on the show. My all my stuff is out there.

0:55:23.040 --> 0:55:25.719
<v Speaker 1>So I suffer from sex addiction, um and I've been

0:55:25.960 --> 0:55:29.560
<v Speaker 1>in recovery for that for the past four years, you know,

0:55:29.600 --> 0:55:31.960
<v Speaker 1>on and off, been doing you know, fight my good

0:55:32.000 --> 0:55:35.279
<v Speaker 1>fight per se around that. And it for me, you know,

0:55:35.360 --> 0:55:39.520
<v Speaker 1>with something like that that's not of substance based, you know,

0:55:39.640 --> 0:55:42.680
<v Speaker 1>it's been hard even for myself early on to wrap

0:55:42.719 --> 0:55:45.560
<v Speaker 1>my head around it, to to understand it, let alone

0:55:45.640 --> 0:55:49.480
<v Speaker 1>my wife or the people around me to understand. It's like, okay,

0:55:49.520 --> 0:55:51.759
<v Speaker 1>alcohol or substance abuse, you can kind of get that

0:55:51.800 --> 0:55:55.760
<v Speaker 1>there's a chemical like it's almost it's easier to understand

0:55:55.800 --> 0:55:59.360
<v Speaker 1>the physical you know chemical around that with you know,

0:55:59.440 --> 0:56:02.759
<v Speaker 1>the sexy aspect or maybe gambler's addiction or whatever it

0:56:02.800 --> 0:56:06.239
<v Speaker 1>may be. It's it's a little different, and it's it's

0:56:06.280 --> 0:56:11.000
<v Speaker 1>been hard to um live with. It's been hard to

0:56:11.120 --> 0:56:16.319
<v Speaker 1>articulate to people and help them understand and put into

0:56:16.360 --> 0:56:18.239
<v Speaker 1>words the things that go on in my head and

0:56:18.600 --> 0:56:20.800
<v Speaker 1>where all that comes from and the dopamine and everything.

0:56:21.239 --> 0:56:23.279
<v Speaker 1>So with those kind of addictions, are you saying that

0:56:23.320 --> 0:56:27.640
<v Speaker 1>there's still there could be some pharmaceutical benefit around that,

0:56:28.840 --> 0:56:32.799
<v Speaker 1>some somewhat you know, for for for gambling addiction, there

0:56:33.080 --> 0:56:36.240
<v Speaker 1>are some medications that have been trialed. For sex addiction,

0:56:36.280 --> 0:56:40.000
<v Speaker 1>there's really no FDA approved medication. However, you know, the

0:56:40.040 --> 0:56:43.400
<v Speaker 1>typical treatment course or someone with behavioral addiction such as

0:56:43.520 --> 0:56:47.360
<v Speaker 1>sex addiction is twofold. Number one is psychotherapy to uncover

0:56:47.440 --> 0:56:51.799
<v Speaker 1>any underlying issues, maybe traumas like child or you know,

0:56:51.840 --> 0:56:55.880
<v Speaker 1>things that have caused these behaviors. And number two behavioral therapy,

0:56:55.960 --> 0:56:59.359
<v Speaker 1>so where psychotherapy looks back to understand what has caused

0:56:59.400 --> 0:57:01.839
<v Speaker 1>the behavior in the past. Behavioral therapy is say, in

0:57:01.880 --> 0:57:04.560
<v Speaker 1>that moment, what can I do to change my behavior?

0:57:04.920 --> 0:57:11.440
<v Speaker 1>And that may be a neural laguistic linguistic programming n LP,

0:57:12.120 --> 0:57:15.640
<v Speaker 1>it might be other types of behavioral therapy which have

0:57:15.719 --> 0:57:17.720
<v Speaker 1>been used in a lot of different walks of life.

0:57:17.960 --> 0:57:23.280
<v Speaker 1>You know, a lot of um success coaches, teach CEOs

0:57:23.320 --> 0:57:26.880
<v Speaker 1>and athletes the physical things that they can do to

0:57:27.000 --> 0:57:30.560
<v Speaker 1>really be present in the moment. You know, things simply

0:57:30.600 --> 0:57:33.480
<v Speaker 1>as like brushing your hair, touching your finger, touching a

0:57:33.520 --> 0:57:37.200
<v Speaker 1>watch which reminds you of something. That's that's what behavioral

0:57:37.200 --> 0:57:40.200
<v Speaker 1>therapy is. So maybe when you get those urges, you know,

0:57:40.240 --> 0:57:42.800
<v Speaker 1>you you touch something that reminds you of your your

0:57:42.880 --> 0:57:45.240
<v Speaker 1>children or your wife, and that makes you you're not

0:57:46.160 --> 0:57:50.160
<v Speaker 1>engage in that behavior. I know my wife's over here.

0:57:50.200 --> 0:57:55.720
<v Speaker 1>Like if there's a drug out there, my husband the cocktail,

0:57:58.640 --> 0:58:02.160
<v Speaker 1>it just stops. Well, that's fascinating that I make up.

0:58:02.160 --> 0:58:05.439
<v Speaker 1>That has to be extremely rewarding to kind of work

0:58:05.440 --> 0:58:08.040
<v Speaker 1>into that field and couters to you just being someone

0:58:08.080 --> 0:58:10.560
<v Speaker 1>who suffers from that, and to know that there's you know,

0:58:10.600 --> 0:58:14.000
<v Speaker 1>good doctors like you who are constantly working at at

0:58:14.080 --> 0:58:17.840
<v Speaker 1>helping those who suffer from addiction because it impacts so

0:58:17.960 --> 0:58:20.160
<v Speaker 1>many people, not just the person who suffers, you know,

0:58:20.200 --> 0:58:24.000
<v Speaker 1>there's so many people around it, um that deal with it. Yeah. Absolutely,

0:58:24.600 --> 0:58:27.439
<v Speaker 1>I do have a question because I've I've used Dr

0:58:27.480 --> 0:58:30.360
<v Speaker 1>Google on this one, so I'm just curious. Um, I

0:58:31.200 --> 0:58:35.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, I've I've suffered from anxiety and PTSD and um,

0:58:35.120 --> 0:58:37.120
<v Speaker 1>I've been on a medicine for god, I don't even

0:58:37.160 --> 0:58:40.640
<v Speaker 1>know how many years now, ten or twelve, fifteen plus years,

0:58:40.800 --> 0:58:44.120
<v Speaker 1>and you know a part of me is like, Okay,

0:58:44.720 --> 0:58:47.080
<v Speaker 1>I know now that I'm not going to die. I'm like,

0:58:47.320 --> 0:58:48.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm not I don't need to call the ambulance. I

0:58:48.920 --> 0:58:52.720
<v Speaker 1>don't need to you know, you know, alert the entire neighborhood.

0:58:52.760 --> 0:58:54.440
<v Speaker 1>Like I'm okay, I know how to work through a

0:58:54.440 --> 0:58:56.720
<v Speaker 1>panic attack right now. Now, I like being on I'm

0:58:56.760 --> 0:59:00.240
<v Speaker 1>on a very low dosage of lexapro, and I get

0:59:00.400 --> 0:59:02.960
<v Speaker 1>but is it is it harmful to continue to be

0:59:03.000 --> 0:59:05.240
<v Speaker 1>on a drug for that long and to continue to

0:59:05.240 --> 0:59:07.880
<v Speaker 1>stay on it, because I don't I'm so fearful of

0:59:07.920 --> 0:59:09.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I don't even like taking tile at all.

0:59:09.520 --> 0:59:10.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, oh my god, is this going to cause

0:59:10.880 --> 0:59:13.040
<v Speaker 1>cancer or is this gonna you know, or is this

0:59:13.160 --> 0:59:15.200
<v Speaker 1>just the thing that's going to just keep me like

0:59:16.240 --> 0:59:20.560
<v Speaker 1>calm for moments. So lexipro in particular, is it is

0:59:20.600 --> 0:59:22.560
<v Speaker 1>a very low risk drug. So that's the kind of

0:59:22.640 --> 0:59:25.360
<v Speaker 1>drug you can take decades and decades and you're completely

0:59:25.400 --> 0:59:28.640
<v Speaker 1>find it. Also, you're on a moderate to low dose,

0:59:28.720 --> 0:59:31.560
<v Speaker 1>so not something that I would consider that you have

0:59:31.640 --> 0:59:34.880
<v Speaker 1>to taper. There are other medications, you know, like bens

0:59:34.920 --> 0:59:37.400
<v Speaker 1>and as a pen zan x valuum added in. Those

0:59:37.440 --> 0:59:39.919
<v Speaker 1>medications can be very harmful to someone, and I would

0:59:39.920 --> 0:59:42.080
<v Speaker 1>certainly recommend that people get off of them as early

0:59:42.160 --> 0:59:43.880
<v Speaker 1>in their life as they can because the lawmen are

0:59:43.920 --> 0:59:47.760
<v Speaker 1>only be more difficult. Um the way that the mechanism

0:59:47.800 --> 0:59:51.680
<v Speaker 1>of action from lexapros specifically is not harmful to the body,

0:59:52.040 --> 0:59:55.520
<v Speaker 1>whereas in contrast, other medications like the bends with as

0:59:55.520 --> 0:59:58.280
<v Speaker 1>pains that I mentioned can be harmful. So, um, every

0:59:58.280 --> 1:00:01.360
<v Speaker 1>medication is different in your case, that's fine for your

1:00:01.360 --> 1:00:05.240
<v Speaker 1>stay on it. Thanks doc, well, thank you so much

1:00:05.280 --> 1:00:06.880
<v Speaker 1>for coming out. I mean, is there anything that you

1:00:06.960 --> 1:00:12.680
<v Speaker 1>just want everyone to know about just overall health? And um, doctors,

1:00:14.080 --> 1:00:16.400
<v Speaker 1>I say the same thing every time I get on

1:00:16.960 --> 1:00:19.920
<v Speaker 1>It's my soapbox about health. You know, we're especially in

1:00:19.960 --> 1:00:22.160
<v Speaker 1>this time of COVID. We're all thinking about like is

1:00:22.200 --> 1:00:24.400
<v Speaker 1>there going to be a vaccine and what's the treatment?

1:00:24.560 --> 1:00:26.880
<v Speaker 1>You know? But I have you know, I have a

1:00:26.960 --> 1:00:29.920
<v Speaker 1>relatively small practice because it's a concierge practice, and my

1:00:30.000 --> 1:00:34.000
<v Speaker 1>patients are tend to be more health conscious and you know,

1:00:34.080 --> 1:00:37.040
<v Speaker 1>health optimizers, and many of them have gotten COVID and

1:00:37.080 --> 1:00:39.360
<v Speaker 1>many and all all of them have recovered fine. So

1:00:39.400 --> 1:00:41.560
<v Speaker 1>I used that as a small sample size to say,

1:00:41.680 --> 1:00:44.480
<v Speaker 1>if you just take care of your body, exercise, get

1:00:44.600 --> 1:00:47.720
<v Speaker 1>enough sleep, avoid toxins, make sure you have enough vitamins,

1:00:47.720 --> 1:00:50.280
<v Speaker 1>and your body, eat a healthy diet. You know, you're

1:00:50.320 --> 1:00:52.480
<v Speaker 1>going to be in a good place relative to the

1:00:52.520 --> 1:00:56.080
<v Speaker 1>rest of society. Okay, awesome, thank you so much, very

1:00:56.120 --> 1:00:58.240
<v Speaker 1>thank you for your time. We really appreciate it, and

1:00:58.320 --> 1:01:00.920
<v Speaker 1>you're welcome back any time because every enjoy talking to you,

1:01:00.960 --> 1:01:05.240
<v Speaker 1>so thank you. Likewise, thank you. That was fascinating some

1:01:05.320 --> 1:01:09.400
<v Speaker 1>of the especially the stuff that we talked about afterwards. Yeah,

1:01:09.480 --> 1:01:13.760
<v Speaker 1>I think again, like we kind of started this episode

1:01:13.760 --> 1:01:16.479
<v Speaker 1>with I think it it was really important to have

1:01:16.760 --> 1:01:20.640
<v Speaker 1>just two different minds about this stuff because again, we're

1:01:20.680 --> 1:01:24.560
<v Speaker 1>not professionals. Don't take our word for anything. And even

1:01:24.680 --> 1:01:27.240
<v Speaker 1>Robert Kennedy said it, even with his as much as

1:01:27.280 --> 1:01:29.200
<v Speaker 1>he's on the other side of the fence, he's like,

1:01:29.240 --> 1:01:33.760
<v Speaker 1>just ask questions, you know, and and and dr Abe

1:01:33.760 --> 1:01:35.760
<v Speaker 1>even when we asked him, it's like, how do you

1:01:35.840 --> 1:01:38.440
<v Speaker 1>how does he receive you know, people asking questions, And

1:01:38.480 --> 1:01:40.919
<v Speaker 1>he seemed very open to it. You know, he wasn't

1:01:40.960 --> 1:01:43.440
<v Speaker 1>like defense about he was just like, yeah, it's okay,

1:01:43.480 --> 1:01:45.680
<v Speaker 1>people come in. It's a very personal thing. So art

1:01:45.720 --> 1:01:47.360
<v Speaker 1>he was saying, he's like, our job is to be

1:01:47.400 --> 1:01:50.040
<v Speaker 1>empathetic to that that this is a lot of these

1:01:50.040 --> 1:01:53.320
<v Speaker 1>topics involved their children, which were we protect more than

1:01:53.360 --> 1:01:57.680
<v Speaker 1>anything in this world, so I really enjoyed this episode.

1:01:57.720 --> 1:02:01.000
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot of information, so take it all for

1:02:01.080 --> 1:02:04.800
<v Speaker 1>what it is and that's all it is. Just ask questions,

1:02:04.840 --> 1:02:08.920
<v Speaker 1>process information, and make your own decision for sure. I

1:02:09.000 --> 1:02:10.280
<v Speaker 1>love you guys later
