Now, if you add up all the immunological components, 200, 100 years ago, if you add up all the immunological components today in vaccines with advances like recombinant DNA technology and protein purification, it comes out to about 150. So you actually have a lesser challenge to your immune system today in vaccines than you had 100 years ago because of those advances.

See, when you see that a child gets, say, you know, vaccines, again, 14 different disease, the number 14 is greater than one. I get that. But what matters is what's in the vaccine. And it's much, much, or it's less. It's certainly not, you don't have a greater challenge from vaccines now than you did 100 years ago. And we don't give the smallpox vaccine anymore. That's interesting.

No. Well, I mean, certainly there are wild-type viruses, natural viruses that can suppress your immune system. Measles can do that. Chickenpox can do that, true, but not the vaccine. The vaccines are too weak to do that. I mean, first of all, influenza is not a โ I mean, the nasal spray vaccine is a live, very weakened form of the virus.

Right, so you make about 10 to the ninth, a billion new BNT cells every day to handle the onslaught that you have every day from coming attack- The food you eat isn't sterile. The dust you inhale isn't sterile. You have trillions of bacteria living on the surface of your body, many of which to which you make an immune response. I mean, you're constantly making immune response.

The challenge from vaccines is not just figuratively, but I think literally a drop in the ocean of what you encounter and manage every day. But I think people don't understand. I get it. I don't think they should necessarily understand it. But so that's our job to try and explain it. But see, the thing you brought up is the thing that is most upsetting to me now.

It's probably why I'm talking too fast is that, you know, the what do you do when really accomplished, intelligent people who have MDs or PhDs or both stand up and say these things? Because historically, that has been true for a long time.

No. And this is Marjorie Taylor Greene's most recent thing. I mean, just in the last couple of days, she said that we need to look into this. There's just this dramatic rise in cancers and it's being caused by this mRNA vaccine because, you know, we're compelled by coincidence. I mean, the mRNA vaccines are designed to prevent the COVID vaccines.
