Hi, I am doctor. Specifically, an emergency doctor. Every teenager who goes into cardiac arrest sees myself or one of my colleagues. There is no increase in teenagers collapsing or going into cardiac arrest. You’re just more aware of it, and have a political motive to care.

Hi. I’m not a doctor. I’m just a simple man of 37 years who pays attention to trends we can see with our own eyes. I’m here to tell you that it is NOT NORMAL for thousands of healthy teenage athletes to be collapsing - some dying - from cardiac arrest. Now ask: Why? 🧐

Important reminder: Naomi Wolf is not a medical doctor. She’s not a medical anything. She isn’t qualified to park cars in the hospital garage. If she sits next to you on a plane and offers medical advice, roll your eyes and ignore her. I’m sure “silence” was painful for her.

Pfizer didn’t “admit” anything, antivaxxers just didn’t understand that you can’t test for transmission. Covid vaccines were ~90% effective at preventing symptomatic infection in the clinical trials (MRNA + Pfizer). Efficacy waned as the virus changed. Not complicated.
