Things happen and we don't always know when we do studies on a few thousand people, what's gonna happen when it reaches a million people. Because if the signal is so small that it's only 0.1% of people, you're not going to pick that up at a thousand. You gotta be able to do a million and you're not gonna do that until it's out in the real world. So why not just acknowledge that and say, hey,

That's a risk we should be aware of. And we should weigh that risk against the benefit. Because what's the harm to an 18-year-old healthy male when he gets COVID? Well, we can quantify that. We know what that risk is. We've seen enough variants of COVID to know that. Is that risk worth that trade-off?

And I think reasonable people, when presented with that set of facts, can make their own decision. I know my decision for my kids in that setting when confronted with that information. And it might not be the same as the next person, but that's okay. We just want people to be able to make reasonable decisions based on reasonable information.

But when it turned into, there's nothing wrong with it, there's nothing wrong with it, you know, the sort of denying it, I think that cost a lot of credibility. And when parents got demonized for asking the question and saying, hey, should my six-year-old who's completely healthy really get this vaccine? And they got turned into bad people for that. I think that was a huge mistake. And again, I...

I can tell you, taking care of countless people, I have patients that ran the spectrum across there. I had patients that said, I want me and my family to get every single vaccine there is. And I had other people that said, we're not touching this thing with a 10-foot pole. And my job was not to talk anybody into or out of anything.

It was simply to make sure they understand and can quantify the risk of both decisions and to be there and help them think through it. And that's it. So, I hope that answers your question on the myocarditis. Yes, there was indeed a real signal. In absolute terms, it wasn't big, but in my opinion, it was not worth the risk to young males. That was my personal opinion.

I don't think it was worth the risk. And that means, as such, I did not vaccinate my kids because they were otherwise healthy. I also feel very fortunate that we live in a state where it was not mandated and therefore we didn't actually have to pay a heavy price for it. So I also have empathy for people who live in draconian states where these things were shoved down their throat.

But, you know, when you live in a great state like Texas, They tend to defer to what the parents think is right, at least in this regard, around a COVID vaccine. And we just felt like, hey, it wasn't necessary. Our kids are super young and healthy. Why put anything else into them that they don't need? That said... I take a different point of view on other vaccines.
