Also, I grew up in Baltimore. I spent my life at the track, just so we're clear. Even early college, life at the track. So Bowie, Laurel, Pimlico, I spent my life at the track. But make your bet. Make your bet. Be willing to make your bet, realizing you may have to tear up your ticket at the end of the race. And there's something to be said for that.

Well, the hope, I mean, is to take blood transfusions. Back in the old days, I mean, blood transfusions were done even using animal blood. I mean, because we didn't know anything about the fact that you could have a, what we call now a transfusion reaction when you're being inoculated with antigens that you've never seen before and you have this massive reaction.

And so you learn each time that you go. I mean, look at the... I mean, the early transplants were brutal. I mean, solid organ transplants were brutal, bone marrow transplants were brutal early on. And even that was true when I was a resident at Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh, bone marrow transplants were really in their early stages.

You learn as you go because the choice to do nothing is also a choice. And for someone who has cancer or someone who needs an organ, that can be also a fatal choice. So that's true. So vaccines are different because vaccines generally are given to healthy people. So there the bar is much higher.

Right. So I would say they fall into two groups. Um, the, the one group are people who really want to know whether or not there's a problem. They smelled the smoke. They want to know whether there's any fire there. You try and find out what it is that they're worried about.

Um, is it that, that, you know, that they've seen on that, that Joseph Ladapo, for example, who's the Florida state surgeon general has said that there's that the vaccines are contaminated with, um, with DNA and that that's going to insert itself into your DNA and cause cancer or autoimmune disease. So you can answer those questions if they have a specific question.
