doesn t make sense since the risk of covid is so low in young boys. i think we should just pause. laura: well, the shocking thing also despite the serious side effects, the american academy of pediatrics is still pushing for the vaccine, saying only an exceedingly small number of people will experience it after the vaccination, the myocarditis. for the young people who do, most cases are mild. my open artist, very great artists are much more common if you get covid-19 and the risk to the heart from covid-19 affection can be more severe. dr. risch, you first on that. well, this came about because of the cdc s review panel, as you mentioned, that did review and a cost-benefit of risk-hazard analysis for myocarditis after vaccination versus covid results. and i was astonished at what they put in this report. it made me angry, actually, that they treat the myocarditis cases
huge benefit, people are going to distrust, honestly distressed, you and i think one of the things i m most concerned about is how do we regain that trust? public health has to be trusted. it serves a really important role in during the pandemic, we have squandered much of the public trust. laura: dr. risch, do you agree with that? i mean, the politicization of science and medicine? i never thought i would see it as i ve seen it and gotten to know this medical world over the last 15 months. how badly hurt is the reputation of medical so-called experts? i think it s pretty bad and i think the problem is as dr. bhattacharya said, the federal agencies have told the public with the agencies want the public to know that will motivate them to carry out the agency s plans rather than the truth. you know, if there are side effects, you tell the truth, you say what the side effects are. give the public credit for the ability to evaluate the evidence for themselves.

that reality of naturally acquired immunity not factoring any of that in and the possibility of i think one or two of you may have said much ago that we are very close to or perhaps in some parts of the country already have herd immunity. correct? that is correct. identified in the texas senate march 10th that we are already at 80% herd immunity. i used standard cdc equations. we know that patients that seek vaccination have a less than 1% chance of coming in contact with covid-19. even if they got a placebo. we knew from the trials. that was back when the ambient density of the virus in the community it was much higher. it is impossible for the vaccine to make an impact on the curves. laura: dr. risch, president biden is very worried these days not about work with the virus started or how it started. but he had a warning that states are going to be divided along
