I tried to get his idea of when he would be comfortable with the research for a vaccine to trust the NNT NNH and Fatality rate %’s enough to get the vaccine himself. He answered all the questions like a politician running for office using his medical terminology to go right over most peoples heads. I’m not oblivious to what he’s saying. The most we could ever get out of him is that this fall would be too early. You would think a pharmacist would be happy to share there input on a timeline needed for a safe vaccine. Most pharmacists I work with have told me they wouldn’t want to see one rushed before next fall so I was wondering if he felt the same way. He can’t just answer in simple terms how he feels about the timeline? Now he wants to berate people for the flu comparison. When I bring up some data that the comparison has a lot of talking points on he goes out of his way again to dodge the question. You don’t think some of these parents would like to know that the coronavirus is far less dangerous to their kids than the flu at this point? I’m hoping he’s at least reminding this to some of his anxiety driven parents in his area that probably use him for a good medical point reference I truly appreciate his input to the conversation, but I get sick of seeing him berating everyone else that doesn’t agree with his opinion.

I’m not claiming they’re 100% conspiracy theories, but that’s the problem, there’s so much conflicting information that I honestly don’t know what the **** to believe any more. I just think it’s awfully convenient that anything that doesn’t fit his narrative is quickly dismissed but everything that does fit is a fact. |

Study about the benefits of Hydroxychloroquine that suggests that it may work on COVID-19 if used early and in combination with zinc(?) he puts down. But some of these people have been considered experts, international experts even. But he promotes the study that was not done correctly and arrogantly predicts that people will knock the study because it wasn't done early enough as though that is not a legitimate knock. The bias is obvious. |

I'm not surprised that some people feel that way. One thing this thread has reinforced is that there are a lot of really stupid people that post on here who think that a Google search from a preferred news site or a few hours of talk radio is equivalent to a medical degree. |

Pete ran away, so I'll ask the group:
Masks are being recommended because they have the ability to reduce at least some droplet spread, yes? |

My understanding is that the guy in France was an expert. But then the study was knocked because it wasn't done properly. I think some people just don't want to believe that it is possible simply because Trump promoted it.
