intermediary animal and more than a decade to determine inclusively what type of bat the sars virus back in 2003 originated from. these can take a while. i ve been following this closely. in fact, we have a documentary coming out at the end of september. what i make of this is that we don t know for sure and that s not surprising. 75% of previous viruses like this have come from animals directly. what s called zoonosis. that was the prevailing theory for a long time in large part because of china being opaque, not allowing investigators to come into the lab, a lab that had lax safety standards in the past. and a lab that happens to be the largest bat coronavirus lab anywhere in the world all being located in wuhan sort of raised some suspicion about the fact could this have come from a lab. add on to that that when this virus started to circulate, it already seemed to be circulating very quickly. it s called preadaptation as
that there will be polarised views but it does not mean we have to impose our views on someone else. we have to stay within the guidelines. when the restrictions have lifted, the guidelines are going to be about social norms and respect for each other. there will be more personal responsibility but there is also a level of responsibility where we need to assert our boundaries and if we do not feel comfortable with how someone is behaving around us, we need to respectfully say so. you mentioned need to respectfully say so. you mentioned social need to respectfully say so. you mentioned social norms, i wonder after 16 months, is it in your view actually possible to get back to normal or is the reality that life is going to be different? i is going to be different? i personally think life is going to be a bit different for a while. they will be a new normal. ultimately if you look at how other places around the world have responded to the sars virus, there were cultural shifts. if you
with graham satchell about a mum who was pregnant and ended up in itu. that is was pregnant and ended up in itu. that is preventable. to know that you are that is preventable. to know that you are spreading something that is preventable and you can do that by simply preventable and you can do that by simply wearing a face covering, it ust simply wearing a face covering, it just makes simply wearing a face covering, it just makes sense to me as a doctor and it just makes sense to me as a doctor and it would just makes sense to me as a doctor and it would make sense to a lot of doctors and it would make sense to a lot of doctors we and it would make sense to a lot of doctors. we have to look at our colleagues doctors. we have to look at our colleagues in china and japan. they have been colleagues in china and japan. they have been wearing masks as part of their lifestyle since they have had their lifestyle since they have had the sars their lifestyle since they have had
holidays, the transmission goes flat. people are in dorsalis, you can eat outdoors, so that is good news. as for the autumn boosters, this is quite a complicated issue, because we know for example that people who had the sars virus back in 2003 maintained immunity and still have that 17 or 18 years later, but that virus is not mutating because it is not circulating. the real challenge is the potential emergence of variants that to some extent escaped the vaccines, and we are of course beginning to see that a little bit, but we don t know what will be coming down the road. certainly, the that having a booster will help, but probably the most important thing is to have new variants of the vaccines that will be specifically targeted to the beta gamma, the delta variant in particular, and any others, like the one in south america we are concerned about.
efficacious. they are better than the traditional response you get from natural infection. oh, my god. wrong. in fact a bombshell new study from the cleveland clinic covering over 52,000 employees, is that good enough for you, anthony? blows up fauci s profoundly unscientific claim. researchers found no difference in reinfection rates between unvaccinated people who previously contracted covid, and those who had been vaccinated. in other words, it s medical malpractice to force vaccines on the tens of millions of americans, probably more than that, who have already gotten protective t cells, b cells or covid antibodies again from previous covid. this is imfollowing 101. you learn this in premed. you one says those affected by the original sars virus still have t cell immunity 17 years
