What's interesting about this vaccine is this is the most potent immunization I've seen since smallpox. I mean, I had to – because I'm at the Whistler Institute and had to give smallpox vaccines for people who were – these were veterinarians who were taking a –

smallpox virus an attenuated smallpox virus that had cloned into it a rabies gene that coded for a surface protein so what they did was a they soaked chicken heads with this then brought it to paramore island sort of off the coast of virginia because they want to try and eliminate rabies and wildlife there that that story and so i had to give a lot of these guys um these veterinarians these sort of ansel adams flannel shirt type guys this vaccine and they they they all had

You know, swelling of lymph nodes, fever. I think one guy thought, clearly, I'll never forget this story because I was still a young person. He had a massive swelling of a lymph node under his arm. He had fever, chills. So I brought him to my boss, Stanley Plotkin, who's the inventor of the rubella vaccine. I said, should we admit him to the hospital?

Does he have this bacterial lymph node infection? And he looked at it and he said, good take. And this vaccine was that, mRNA vaccine also.

So then the question is, doing the right kinds of studies that answer the question, are you more likely to have tinnitus, especially because you're immunizing an older population, if you got the vaccine, if you didn't, and it hasn't played out, even though some prominent people have stepped forward and said this is clearly a side effect. I don't see the data for that as being clearly...

Yeah, so it's always risk-benefit. I mean, I think, I guess my, I would think that the, if they're in a high-risk group, that COVID would be the greatest risk, greater risk, but-
