Dale, I just listened to you on Mark Hyman’s and Chris Kressler’s podcasts. I probably learned more about COVID in those two podcasts then I’ve learned reading hundreds of news articles since the start of the pandemic. Thanks for providing such thorough and thoughtful information on those episodes!
I know you’re working on a part 2 that will probably answer this but...what did you mean by #7 in your predictions? Are you saying there will be more deaths per population or that COVID will actually become more deadly? I would assume you meant more deaths per population because there will be less people wearing masks, etc. Also, I’ll be interested to see how you think pressure from private industries like airlines, sporting events, etc. might pressure more people to get vaccinated. Thanks!
Again, your data interpretation and "intuition " are strikingly non bias and logical, Thank you !
My intuition and terrible knowledge in statistics says that public health measures could have been and should be the number #1 mitigation here , vaccines are great but the next few months will tell us that 2-3 more shots maybe needed in the next year and may or may not help in a visible way . I am all pro-vax BTW , just not wearing my pink glasses !
Hi Dale, I just listened to you on Dr. Mark Hyman's podcast. Thank you for providing such detailed and easy to understand information. I'm going to send the podcast and this newsletter to all my friends and family. Thanks!
Many thanks for the valuable information and the effort you are putting into this. Is it possible to provide us with the concrete numbers based on experience in the Western world e.g. what is known now about the asymptomatic spread, what is the R0?, how these numbers are compared with influenza epidemics, the mortality rate according the number you mentioned in the slide is 0.28% which seems low. How this is compared to mortality from influenza?, what the age-distribution?. Why should the society be locked down and not just focused on persons with high risk for complications? It will be very helpful if you include some references that we can use if interested in studying these issues in depth. Many thanks. Your effort is highly appreciated.
The Mark Hyman podcast was very informative, thank you. You both stated 1/100 fatality rate. The numbers from many sources, including some Stanford studies, are an order of magnitude lower. Only the very old reach 1/100. Can you please explain how you are arriving at the 1/100 death rate? Second, you mentioned the reinfection rate in the Astra Zeneca study, saying herd immunity won’t be reached because we have no immunity from reinfection. The reinfection rate was based on testing, the accuracy of which has been questioned, specifically as reporting many false positives especially at high cycles. Did the Astra Zeneca study also report reinfection as determined by clinical illness? Is it possible that reinfection is non-existent when measured as clinical disease rather than a positive PCR test?

Please compare Moderna/phizer vaccine with J&J upcoming vaccine. Pros and cons. Thanks
Would like you to comment on long term risks of taking the vaccine
