I think we all know how important the COVID vaccine was. It was scientifically, critically studied to prevent severe disease. I think where people started to get confused is when we started to make potential claims that the vaccine did more than what it was studied to actually show. And remember all of those original studies, we didn't test patients unless they had symptoms. We only looked for disease, and so we don't know how many people were asymptomatic. We don't know about protection against infection. What we did know about is protection against severe disease. And clearly, if you look at the mortality in individuals 75 before vaccination and after vaccination, there was a dramatic difference even through, Amicrom and Delta. So, yes, the vaccine was highly effective for what it was intended to do, was prevent Shouldn't the health secretary know that? You know, I'm not sure that there's so much confusion about the COVID vaccine, what it was studied to do. I just want to make it very clear. It was studied to prevent severe disease, and that's what it does. And then I think the question is, well, who's who's susceptible to severe disease and who should continue to get the COVID shots? I think that's what needs to be clearly laid out to the American people.

When the government told us vaccinated people couldn't get the virus, were they guessing or lying? There was evidence of natural reinfection during the pandemic. Since the vaccine was based on natural immunity, one can't definitively say vaccination is superior to natural infection, even if it's often slightly better. I can't rule out the possibility that the government wasn't truthful when they stated vaccinated individuals couldn't contract the virus. While I ensured my susceptible family members were vaccinated, we still used layered protection during surges, knowing vaccine immunity could wane. The hope was that the vaccine would prevent transmission. Scientists and public health leaders must clearly communicate what's known versus what's hoped. When the government said the vaccinated couldn't get it, it wasn't the truth, but possibly a guess, a lie, or just hope.

The CDC recommends everyone 6 months and older to get the updated COVID-19 vaccine before the fall and winter season. Extensive data and clinical trials support this recommendation. As the head of the CDC and a doctor, I would not recommend anything I wouldn't do for my own family. That's why my husband, parents, and my 9 and 11-year-old daughters will be getting the vaccine. I encourage you to do the same for everyone in your family who is 6 months and older. Don't forget to also get your flu shot. Visit vaccines.gov to find a nearby location and consult your doctor if you have any questions.

Questions were raised about the vaccine mandate: "Why was it mandated for young men? Why is the COVID vaccine when we knew relatively early on that it causes myocarditis at some rate?" It was argued that it "didn't stop you from getting or spreading COVID," so we asked why we should "act as if it does." The speaker felt frustrated: "if you said those things in public, you were cast as an anti vaxxer. It's not an anti vaxx to say, Here's what the scientific evidence says." They claim to have "advocated during the pandemic for older people to take the vaccine" but "didn't advocate to force older people to take it." Personally, they were "relieved when my mom took the vaccine in March 2021" and, overall, "I took it, but I was indifferent."

The speaker wants the CDC to provide more specific information about who is being hospitalized and dying from COVID-19, including their ages, comorbidities, vaccination status, and antiviral use. They also suggest studying the long-term effects of T-cell frequencies. The speaker shares their personal experience with vaccinations and T-cell frequencies. They express concern about the potential downsides of getting a different COVID booster every year, mentioning the rare possibility of adverse effects like myocarditis. They believe it is important to weigh the risks and benefits when the benefits of vaccination are not clear.

I just got vaccinated with the modified vaccine by Dr. Müller at the military hospital. Why did I do it? We need to understand that a Covid infection is not a common cold. It's a serious matter. For people over sixty or those with risk factors, the disease can lead to severe outcomes. There can also be long-term damage, like Long Covid.

Speaker 0: Take the shot and protect yourself and the people around you. We all feel a chill when we hear that. Mrs. van der Hof from the RIVM, you’ve researched the effects of vaccination. If you look under the line, has it had any usefulness? Speaker 1: It has certainly been useful. In fact, from our research, but also from many other studies, people who were vaccinated had a lower chance of dying from COVID, and we see that effect with every shot that’s given. We also studied whether there is a higher chance of dying from diseases other than COVID shortly after vaccination, to see whether there is vaccine harm, and we do not find that either, which is also in line with what is found internationally. Speaker 0: Okay, because that is the story you hear at the dinner table. Earlier this week someone said, I see so many people dying, there must be something. Speaker 1: Yes. Well, there are certainly people who have died due to the vaccination. We cannot deny that. That has been investigated; we find that in the Netherlands through Lareb, and we find that internationally as well. You just have to weigh the very small chance that you become ill or die from a vaccination against the chance that you become very ill or die from COVID. And the balance tips toward vaccination. Speaker 0: Yes, vaccination protects more than it harms, you just said. Also, have you studied the chance of death due to vaccination? Speaker 1: Well, we looked at people who were vaccinated and whether within 2 months after vaccination they had an increased chance of dying from anything other than COVID. If there were an indication there, we would see it, and we absolutely do not find that. Speaker 0: No, that is simply not found. Okay. Mrs. Van der Broek, and the pandemic was a priority.

Some people still deny the importance of masks and social distancing, despite the existence of misinformation. As someone who has studied biases for 50 years, I understand this issue well. Just like there are experts who study viruses year after year, we should trust and follow their advice. Although unexpected things may happen, we need to adjust and be aware that the virus is real and deadly. To prevent it, we should get vaccinated, wear masks, practice social distancing, and maintain good hygiene. It's not just about our freedom; it's about the responsibility that comes with it.

Vaccines have a place, but the population has been scared into accepting them. It's frustrating that vaccines are being promoted as gene therapy to children who are not at risk. It's ethically questionable to recommend something dangerous to a certain group to protect the elderly. Personally, as a 70-year-old, I don't want young people getting vaccinated for my sake. If something happened to them, I would feel guilty.

Questioning why it was mandated for young men and why we were told to act as if it stopped you from getting or spreading COVID, when it didn't stop infection or spread and it causes myocarditis at some rate. "It makes no sense." The speaker says he was reading the scientific evidence saying things like this, and yet if you said those things in public, you were cast as an anti vaxxer. "It's not an anti vaxx to say, Here's what the scientific evidence says. Here's the situations when it's beneficial to use this vaccine. Here's the situations when it's less likely beneficial. Here's what we know and here's what we don't know, right?" He advocated during the pandemic for older people to take the vaccine, but didn't advocate to force older people to take it. He was relieved when his mom took the vaccine in March 2021.

I made it clear that my children were immunized with childhood vaccines. Public health failed to explain that COVID vaccines are different. Childhood vaccines, like for many diseases, provide immunity after one dose by giving children the disease without the deadly consequences. The COVID vaccine wasn't designed to prevent infection. Vaccine hesitancy has doubled since COVID, and we need to address these concerns. The mRNA vaccine should have been prioritized for those at high risk of severe disease, as the science and data indicated. We should have protected the elderly and those with comorbidities first. It went into young people before the elderly and nursing homes. We need to align public health actions with science and data. When we don't, we fracture trust with the American people.

I don't have a specific target number, but last year's death toll from Covid was too high. We have a collective responsibility towards vulnerable individuals. I want to convince those listening to get vaccinated. Our vaccine is more effective than last year's, it targets the current strains, and we have three years of data showing no side effects. It's important to go for it. There is a global push for prevention and vaccination, including for HPV, bronchiolitis, flu, and Covid. I believe in the progress and effectiveness of prevention and vaccination.

During COVID, I was on the board of my kids' school and initially supported a strict lockdown policy. However, I now realize that keeping kids out of school for longer had a greater negative impact than the risks. We all operated with imperfect information, including myself, the CDC, and the governor. Let's learn from this and hold each other accountable while showing grace and forgiveness. Unfortunately, about 1 in 5 US adults are unwilling to get vaccinated, making them the global runner-up in vaccine hesitancy. This means roughly 56 million Americans are 11 times more likely to die from COVID than the rest of the population. It's embarrassing that some Americans are playing Russian roulette with their lives and the lives of others. Despite this, America's healthcare response to COVID has been a victory, thanks to the vaccines.

Vaccines have a place, but the population has been terrorized with propaganda. It's frustrating that vaccines are being promoted as gene therapy with unknown risks for children who are at low risk. It's not ethically or morally acceptable to recommend something dangerous to them to protect the elderly. As a 70-year-old, I don't want young people getting vaccinated for my sake, and I would feel guilty if something happened to them.

I got vaccinated with the adapted vaccine by Dr. Müller at the military hospital. COVID infection is not a minor illness, especially for people over 60 or with risk factors. It can lead to severe outcomes and long-term effects like Long COVID. To reduce these risks, those recommended by the STIKO, such as people over 60 or with underlying conditions, should get vaccinated. This protects them from severe cases and Long COVID. We expect many COVID cases this fall, but we are better prepared with improved monitoring and population immunity. While no contact restrictions are needed, individuals should still protect themselves, possibly by wearing masks in crowded spaces. Vaccination remains the best defense against severe outcomes and lowers the risk of Long COVID. I encourage everyone eligible to get vaccinated according to STIKO's recommendation.

There's a lot of rumors that are going around that young and healthy people don't need to get the vaccine. You should save it for people who are a little bit older. "There’s a syndrome that we refer to as long COVID, which means you get a syndrome following the clearing of the virus where it could be for months and months that you have symptoms that are profound fatigue, muscle aches, temperature dysregulation, and even an inability to focus or concentrate." "So for the person themselves to protect themselves. But then there's also the responsibility that you have of not being part of spreading the infection throughout the community. So you almost wanna take what I call a societal responsibility. Protecting children also protects society." "And, by the way, we have enough supply of vaccine. We don't have to worry about it. Everybody can get vaccinated."

I am 36 years old and in good health. I don't want to get COVID because I could get really sick for a week or two, and I don't like being sick. I also don't want to infect my husband or be isolated. I don't know the long-term consequences or the risk of long COVID. I see many people suffering from it. We can worry about young people and COVID patients for a year. I want COVID to go away by keeping contagious people out of society. I don't want everything to reopen because it would affect the economy for people under 60, like me. Thank you, sir.

Initially, all vaccines released under emergency use authorization by the FDA were considered outstanding. The J&J vaccine carries a risk of life-threatening blood clots. Despite claims that COVID poses zero threat to healthy children, vaccination for children was urged. Two mRNA vaccines were considered a three-dose vaccine. Two doses were found to be insufficient for emergency room visits and hospitalizations, necessitating a third immunization. A fourth immunization was suggested as a potential innovative solution. The numbers are trending up again, so a new bivalent booster is recommended for everyone ages 12 and older. Those over 50 who have had two boosters more than 2-4 months prior may need a third booster, a fifth immunization. Boosters may not be holding up as well as desired, potentially requiring boosters every few months. Disinformation campaigns have promoted fake concepts of herd immunity and discredited masks. Vaccinating is considered our last hope. The single most impactful thing is to be fully boosted, preferably twice boosted. Monkeypox is accelerating among men who have sex with men, though sources disagree on whether it is sexually transmitted.

I made it clear that my children received childhood immunizations. The issue is we failed to communicate that COVID vaccines differ significantly from childhood vaccines, which typically provide lasting immunity after one dose. The COVID vaccine was not designed to prevent infection. Vaccine hesitancy has doubled since COVID, and we must address this. The mRNA vaccines should have prioritized individuals at high risk for severe disease, aligning with the scientific data. We should have protected the elderly and those in nursing homes first. Prioritizing young people in hospitals before the elderly was not following the science. Public health actions must align with scientific data to maintain the trust of the American people.

We're taking a closer look at protecting seniors from the flu, following studies questioning the effectiveness of flu shots for older people. While most flu deaths occur in those 65 and older, mass vaccinations haven't done the job. Despite a sharp increase in seniors getting vaccinated over twenty years, flu deaths among the elderly continue to climb. Studies adjusting for various factors still show that flu shots haven't reduced deaths in this group. This same conclusion has been observed in other countries, including Australia, France, Canada, and The UK. The CDC is exploring new strategies, but still advises seniors to get flu shots, as they might lessen flu severity or prevent other complications. The focus may shift towards vaccinating children and others who could transmit the flu to the elderly.

The tragedy is that many young, healthy individuals under 50, who had minimal risk from COVID, were injured. A significant percentage of the population has documented cases of COVID. These individuals would have been fine if left alone. Instead, many were harmed, often against their better judgment, as they felt pressured to comply with mandates to keep their jobs or attend school.

They also suggest studying the long-term effects of T-cell frequencies. The speaker shares their personal experience with vaccinations and T-cell frequencies.

Don't forget to also get your flu shot if you haven't already. Visit vaccines.gov to find a nearby location and consult your doctor if you have any questions.

I said that the people who died should have been vaccinated. They were the ones we know are at risk. It's a true public health priority to prioritize them and take action, both collectively and individually.

Vaccines were not expected to fully prevent infection, and this may have caused confusion about their effectiveness against severe disease and hospitalization. While vaccines do help reduce severe outcomes, it's important to note that a significant portion of those who died during the omicron surge were older individuals who were vaccinated. Therefore, whether vaccinated or unvaccinated, the focus should be on testing and the use of paxlovid for treatment.
