I appreciate it. People can see that you've got a stethoscope around your neck. We are pulling you out of your very, very busy allergy immunology clinic, and I so appreciate it. I know that you've carved this time out, so we'll try to definitely make the best of it. I've got lots I want to talk with you about.
As I mentioned just in the introduction, you and I got to know each other really because of the COVID pandemic. We were very much singing from the same song sheet, if you will, with regard to everything from concerns about the mRNA to the lockdown and the harms happening to children. But I'd like, and I don't want to spend much of this hour talking about COVID.
I think many people, including I, sort of have COVID fatigue. But that said, I'd like, you do bring a different lens to this. And I'd like you to spend a couple of minutes
Laying out from your perspective, from your purview, what it was like at the beginning as a pediatrician, as an immunologist, as a Latino, what are the sorts of things really, because you do have a different viewpoint of it or had a different perspective at the beginning, and what sort of led you to know early on that something was amiss?
Well, as you refer to it as an operation rather than just a pandemic, explain a little further what you mean. Why do you call it the COVID operation?
Amen. And that's why we have to get that on the table. We have to talk openly and honestly about that. That is not a conspiracy theory any longer. The things that you and I were derided for, lambasted for, censored, threatened, ridiculed, they have all come to be proven now.
Everything from the fallacy of wearing masks to the fallacy of asymptomatic spread, and then certainly the safety and efficacy of the, quote, mRNA vaccines. We know that the harms have been tremendous. I said from the beginning, and it still really pains me, the damage that was done to children of all of the groups who really suffered from
because of this pandemic or this incident, this operation, if you wanna call it, we're children. And certainly I think it will take decades for us to really understand just how much damage was done. And by that, I don't just mean by the mRNA shots, I mean by the whole thing, the lockdowns, the mask wearing, the social isolation, all of those things.
Talk a little bit about, you know, you see children every day. You're a very busy clinician. What sorts of things are you seeing today that you would say are potentially related to what happened during the five-year COVID debacle?
Exactly, and so when you and I talk about, I talk about this damage done to the immune system, I don't mean just by the mRNA shots, and they certainly did, and we could do an entire show on the ill effects of the mRNA shots, but it's things like, locking people indoors, limited exposure to natural sunlight, limited exposure to other pathogens.
We were not meant to bathe in Purell and stay in a bubble and not be exposed to things because it does damage your immune system. Not having regular exercise. It turns out when you close the parks and the swimming pool and the beaches, people don't get out, they didn't exercise. People's diets went to hell during the pandemic.
You know, everyone's ordering DoorDash and eating pizza and Pringles and sitting on the sofa. So it was a multi and let us not forget, you know, overwhelming stress. The impact that stress has, you know, which includes the stress imposed by social isolation. All of these things together, I think, really have damaged people's immune system.
And when you look at the incidents right now, and you see it, I'm sure, every day of respiratory illnesses, the influenza cases this year, lots of things. We have seen a lot of disease burden, infectious disease burden, independent of the things we're about to start talking about with regard to measles and bird flu. So people are going into this with weakened immune systems.
Let's talk about that.
Well, let's talk a little bit more about this because I agree with you. I don't think there's anything probably more important than the effect that that pandemic and the response had on those three pillars. When you talk about faith, remember, Churches were shut down. Walmart was open. Churches were shut down. Liquor stores were open.
You know, marijuana stores were open, but you couldn't go to church. You know, you couldn't gather and worship. And this included over major holidays. Families could not get together for, you know, for holidays. You couldn't go to a wedding or a funeral or celebrate a graduation. It drove a wedge through.
I mean, I know that when you ask people, do you have, you know, were there friendships that you lost? even our family members, you know, relationships that were, you know, cloven in half as a result of what happened during the pandemic. I know it certainly happened for me. I have friends and family members with whom I've never really had the same relationship since the great divide over COVID.
Either you either believed in masks or you didn't. You either believed in the vaccines or you didn't. And it was as polarizing as anything I've ever seen.
Do you see, you know, you have a different, once again, a different lens. I am only here in the United States, and although I have colleagues around the world, I don't see, you know, you have traveled to so many different places. You just rattled off a handful of different countries you've been to in the last six months.
Are you seeing these same sorts of things in children in other countries, in India and Mexico and Romania and the UK?
