Dr. Love, Thank you for your work. My wife is a 4x stage 4 ovarian cancer survivor. She has been cancer free for more than 8 years (NED). She participated in a study sponsored by AstraZeneca! I find it maddening this anti-vaccine campaign! How can patient stories help??
A great piece, again. How many Americans (and non-Americans) will need to die disproportionally before people wake up (I believe the estimates were 2-300,000 in his first term)? Wait until those state constituents learn they will lose their Ozempic, Wegovy, Trulicity, etc.
It will be an ugly era when they take biologic therapies away from patients with autoimmune disease. What a joke. This is literally stealing QOL, for no reason, from patients with IBD, psoriasis, RA, or ocular autoimmune disease, just desperately wanting to live without debilitating pain. Clearly people making these decisions have never suffered a day with any of these conditions. I hope they try, because the backlash will be fierce. It's always fun when people who don't know medicine try and make medical decisions.
I just had my 10th COVID booster. I hardly mind that 3rd arm at all. Or the extra toe that appeared after my 6th booster. I am, however, extremely grateful to be alive and well, and to have suffered only one very mild bout of COVID. As an over-60 asthmatic, I am absolutely certain I would not have been so fortunate without these vaccines. The thought that uninformed nut jobs want to take away our health and well-being is admittedly frightening.
Once again thank you for an excellent explanation & providing myself with easily understood information I can share when I am asked about mRNA vaccines.
Mark's comment about the various antidiabetic Rx's Ozempic etc (original indication now shown to have numerous other benefits) could also be subjected to misinformation & disinformation...oh maybe not given their popularity 🤔
Ozempic and others within this class sharing a similar mechanism are actually glucagon-like peptide { GLP-1 } receptor agonists. Peptides are short chains of amino acids that when linked together serve as the building blocks for proteins.
GLP-1 agonists slow gastric emptying & to reduce appetite.
I degrees yet we have in the case of GLP-1 agonists an e.g. of the therapeutic manipulation of a natural "messager" (deliberate pun vis-à-vis the *m* of mRNA) that benefits millions of people.
The fear mongering by saying something will cause something else (mRNA will modify genes) without any context is the playbook for these assholes. The problem is, there are too many people who will believe anything at face value. Just like anything involved with the development of modern medicine down to the regulatory bodies are corrupt. The system isn’t corrupt. The federal government has let us down by not provide healthcare for all. Another smoke screen by the oligarchy to deter from the actual problem.

Here is her study story! https://www.mdanderson.org/cancerwise/ovarian-cancer-survivor--why-i-travel-for-a-clinical-trial.h00-159144456.html

I was concerned with my 3rd arm and extra toes as well, but the situation resolved itself once the mushrooms wore off
