EFR 530: COVID Vaccination - What Does the Science Say and Is Natural Immunity Real with Dr. Jonathan Baktari, MD

Today's conversation is a sobering deep dive into the highly controversial but crucial subject that is the COVID-19 vaccine, featuring Jonathan Baktari MD. Dr. Baktari is the CEO of e7 Health, a Las Vegas-based company focused on preventative health and wellness. He kicks off the conversation with a high-level explanation of exactly what a vaccine is. The goal of a vaccine, he says, is to take advantage of the immune system's strengths by "tricking" the body. The body is injected with a portion of a germ, whether that germ is a virus or bacteria. The dose is small enough to get the body to detect the germ, thereby training the immune system to become efficient at fighting it while minimizing the damage it could have done to the body if the germ were "whole". Dr. Baktari and Chase go on to unpack the trickiest questions the world is now faced with as in navigating the ever-evolving COVID-19 crisis—from how to interpret official data, to the issue of personal freedom versus the common good, to the under-addressed and overlooked public health issue that is a lack of education on prevention.   Follow Jonathan @baktarimd Follow Chase @chase_chewning   Episode resources: Save 20% on your entire first purchase from Legion Athletics with code EVERFORWARD at https://www.legionathletics.com  Save 15% on Sugarbreak with code CHASE at http://sugarbreak.com/chase  Learn more at https://chasechewning.com/podcasts/episode/530
