  2. Vaccines are like fire extinguishers... they help put out infections, they don't prevent them. If you have 2 vaccine doses with 6 months between them and an infection, you have the best potential immunity from severe disease now and for you this should be bad cold at the worst going forward. You're protected.

  3.  @1975JJD  I understood you. From an immunological perspective you've already gotten protected and you shouldn't ever need another vaccination for SARS-CoV-2. The 'booster' was really the 2nd shot re-administered after a 6 month delay for immune maturation. Calling it a 'booster' was poor terminology.

  4. NextStrain, GISAID, CoVariants, and This Week in Virology (TWiV) are your greatest sources of factual science information.

  5. you can quit with the propaganda. Did you happen to notice the multi-billion dollar a year war against cannabis and that fact that us pot smokers have been winning the legalization battle ANYWAY? Sleepy? Uh, no. Long flowering narrow leaf drug varieties (which many people call 'sativas') are often like a triple latté.

  7. Vaporizers don't pose an issue and the largest epidemiological test of lung function ever conducted (at UCLA, Geffen School of Medicine) showed that while tobacco only users had 20 times the lung maladies of the non-smoking controls, the cannabis only users had 58% FEWER lung maladies than the non-smoking controls. The research was conducted by pulmonologist and professor of medicine, Donald P. Tashkin.

  9.  @cooljazzr  I'm referring to the amount of THC. The amount of sticky bud trim was 75 grams. For a short time I was likely the highest volume medical edible maker in America. I had the highest selling item at what was then the largest medical pot club in the world.

  10. Almost 100% of people dying are unvaccinated. Vaccines don't prevent infection, they help your immune system put infections out. That's how immunology works. Vaccines are like fire extinguishers. Fire extinguishers don't prevent fires, they help you put fires out. You only need 2 shots, but you need 6 months between them so we got 3 instead... 2 quick shots to get good protection and a boost to get excellent protection.

  11.  @i4nic256  Ask any doctor treating covid patients in an ICU today. Ever hear the phrase 'pandemic of the unvaccinated'? Sure you have.

  12.  @plextoob  And your virology education is from where??? There's a reason that 4 coronaviruses persist as 'common colds'. They're often the really bad colds, but they don't kill like SARS-CoV-2 because we get constant immune boosts by being infected with them. Do you see how the Polio analogy works in there? If you're vaccinated the pandemic is essentially over for you, but if you're vaccinated and isolated you have a timer on your immunity. You won't ever have excellent protection until you get an infection and that will happen eventually. Playing Howard Hughes only makes you look like Howard Hughes. You never treated the other 4 common coronaviruses this way so why the complete inconsistency?

  13.  @plextoob  Did you work in a circus? Vaccines don't prevent infection. That's not what vaccines do. Vaccines are like fire extinguishers... they help your immune system put fires out, they don't prevent fires by design. There is NO research on vaccines preventing transmission. That shows just how uneducated you are on this topic. That requires what's called a challenge study and challenge studies are unethical with viruses that can cause harm, but nonetheless there is a proposed challenge study for transmission planned in the UK. You're making false claims unsupported by any real world data. Did you know that every single transmission of an RNA virus result in a variant? Did you? Did you know GISAID has 9,321,635 covid variants in their database now? You seem so confident making pronouncements about virology. Where is your virology educations from again?

  14. "drug tests" are really only cannabis tests because coke and speed are quickly eliminated from the system. I want a President who tests positive for cannabis but doesn't use legal alcohol.

  15.  @DavidRichardson153  If your immune system is in normal shape, you only need 2 shots with a gap of 6 months between them for excellent protection. That 6 month unprotected wait would have been disaster so we got a rushed 2nd shot to get great protection quickly. Data showed the normal pause in vaccination for immune maturation resulted in even better protection so this is now just like other vaccines. The booster is actually the 'real' 2nd shot, re-administered after the proper delay and we're unlikely to need another. Watch This Week in Virology (TWiV) for more. They watch TWiV at the CDC offices and on the ISS. I hope Thom interviews the main host, Prof. Vincent Racaniello.

  16. Try listening to better information sources, like This Week in Virology (TWiV). Fauci has been on TWiV. One episode of TWiV was broadcast FROM the ISS.

  17. My ancestors are from northern Norway and it's our shamen who was taken to be the image of Santa Clause. Sami shamen use reindeer to find amanitas the same way that the French use pigs to find truffles. The author is correct and you are confused and lacking information, cody. The reindeer fly because they're tripping their brains out. Your ignorance is sad.

  18.  @bodhisattva3774  You're not a virologist so you would need at least a couple years of molecular biology and virology education first. Campbell's audience is a stunning display of Dunning-Kruger effect. Being a virologist comes with a PhD of it's own. You think you can listen to 1/2 hour of a Nurse Educator repeat things off the Internet and now you're virologist or immunologist? 🤣 That's hilarious.

  19. You should study the infamous "Maine wedding" where 7 people have now died of COVID but NONE of them were at the wedding.

  20.  @davidgough3512  No. Fail. MDMA/designer meth is most certainly a phenethylamine and I would classify mescaline as a powerful entheogen, but not a psychedelic.

  22. It does the same in humans. The dose required is at least a gram of THC per day and it works when oncologists fail.

  25. I'm quite impressed with him, but I also watch This Week in Virology (TWiV) regularly which is the virology show they watch at the CDC offices and on the ISS.

  26. You don't seem to understand that "herd immunity" doesn't really work with RNA viruses. That's really a DNA virus phenomenon. ONLY active measures work against an RNA pandemic.

  27.  @robinsss  'and i never caught the virus'.... famous last words. So many of the stories on Sorryantivaxxer include the same sentiment before assuming room temperature.

  28. The most important thing is that this is a balance based system so "prescribed doses" are almost meaningless. The cannabinoids are being constantly enzymatically degraded by either FAAH or MAGL in the body. and these levels are specific to the individual and the moment. The necessary dose will vary by individual and time of day. The good news is that you cannot take too much and saturation will guarantee the most potent results.

  29. Wow, that was some very silly and absurd rubbish which is completely disconnected from fact or reality of any sort. Reefer madness is still alive and well.

  30. Any kind of sick is it exactly. I'm fully vaccinated for covid but I don't want influenza or another virus either.

  31. The US was hit hard by Omicron because of antigenic escape (previous Delta infection gave only 18% protection from omicron), and the overwhelming bulk of the Omicron related deaths are unvaccinated people. It was that way for Delta too. For example, last October in Texas, 99.4% of the covid fatalities were in unvaccinated individuals. It's a complex mix of unvaccinated, vaccinated with 1, 2, or 3 shots, and previously infected, with societal behavior differences. You can watch it in real time at sites like CoVariants, NextStrain, and GISAID. If you want to learn the science, watch This Week in Virology (TWiV) as they do at the CDC offices and on the ISS. Vincent Racaniello will be the best virology professor you'll ever have.

  33. The expert Virologist and professor who literally wrote the textbook the new generation of experts used in their virology studies at Ivy League schools, and is the first person to sequence the genome of a virus says it's time to move on from masks in most circumstances. Dr. Poland is a vaccinologist not a virologist, and the Mayo Clinic does not get an automatic pass from me. I listen to 10+ hours every week of virologists, immunologists, epidemiologists, attending physicians, and other molecular biologists discuss the science so when people like you make claims like "Political and economic expediency are controlling the policy" it's really obnoxious. Credentialed scientists say it's time to rely on vaccines now and they're the ones I listen to.

  34. Cannabinoids promote embryonic and adult hippocampus neurogenesis as one example. You might want to recalibrate you definitions a tad. Sure you can split hairs but there are multiple situations where cannabinoids appear to make conditions progress in the regressive direction.

  35.  @i4nic256  If you're a researcher then you should already know these things in the same way you can see the sky is blue. Elusive? Yeah, elusive like the sky being blue level elusive. If you only had access to the Internet, you could research these things. 93% of people in hospitals with covid are unvaccinated, but almost 100% of the ones who leave the hospital in a bag were unvaccinated.

  36. Consider Polio.... the whole reason we had Polio epidemics was because we got indoor plumbing and got rid of outhouses. The improvement in isolation from filth led to not having immunity from that filth which led to waves of crippling epidemic disease. Some isolation is good; complete isolation is self-defeating in the real world.

  37. That's not terribly uncommon.

  38. 'Dope' is an obsolete equestrian term for water soluble morphine salts. It's a borrowing of the Dutch word 'dupe' which mens 'sauce'. You should have tried cannabis instead.

  41.  @65minimom  The Daily Fail is LITERALLY the most cheesy tabloid available on London newsstands. It's like try to debate people using the Weekly World News as your source. The Weekly World News has some little true fact on almost every page but it also hypes bat boy and Elvis' head being kept alive in a jar. You look like a moron if you try to use it as an information source amongst learned people.

  44.  @frankchase9297  You're welcome, Frank, and I apologize for the terseness of my comment. This doctor is a fellow with FAS which is all well and good, but he appears to misunderstand basic immunology which I find deeply concerning. His opinions conflict with my virology professor's, and my virology professor literally wrote the Principles of Virology textbook used in Ivy League university molecular biology education. They've said on TWiV since the start you can expect this to last 5 years and this doctor says 'nobody expected this to go on this long'. Poppycock.

  45. No, the low dose was an artificial restriction placed on research to attempt to cause it to fail to produce positive results. This "research" game has been going on for 100 years. Federal money and the legal ability to do the research in America has ONLY been available to try to find the predetermined conclusion that cannabis is harmful and evil and bad. This is yet another example of that "research" being supplanted by the actual data.

  46. Vaccines are like fire extinguishers. Fire extinguishers don't prevent fires, they help you put fires out. Vaccines don't prevent infection, they help your immune system put infections out. This Week in Virology (TWiV) is the virology podcast they watch at the CDC offices and on the International Space Station if you want to learn more. 🧬🔬

  47. Indica means "from India". Sativa means "cultivated". These terms are almost meaningless.

  48. The idea for Polymerase Chain Reaction DNA amplification (the basis of PCR tests) came from a stoned thought by Kary Mullis who received a Nobel Prize for it in 1993. Kary Mullis credits cannabis for that idea. LOL.🤣 To quote NASA's favorite Astronomer Carl Sagan, “The illegality of cannabis is outrageous, an impediment to full utilization of a drug which helps produce the serenity and insight, sensitivity and fellowship so desperately needed in this increasingly mad and dangerous world.”😂 You have so much to learn.😂

  49. Yes, perhaps, "Ancient remedy and one of the core herbs specified in the foundation of Chinese Traditional Medicine over 5000 years ago" is a more holistically honest title than "street drug".

  50.  @bodhisattva3774  His whole schtick is playing virologist and offering analysis only a virologist or immunologist is qualified to give, and he gets it wrong constantly, and you eat it up like a fanboi.
