░░░░░░░░ wrote feared I died ░░░░░░░░ forgot to say anything ░░░░░░░░ it I suppose there ░░░░░░░░ some of you who ░░░░░░░░ tina didn t care ░░░░░░░░ way as she put ░░░░░░░░ it is very easy ░░░░░░░░ to miss cavuto or ░░░░░░░░ who kindly noted dead ░░░░░░░░ alive as long as ░░░░░░░░ isn t on my ░░░░░░░░ it is a good ░░░░░░░░ Sorry about today Janice ░░░░░░░░ of course there is ░░░░░░░░ who wondered if something ░░░░░░░░ was afoot What are ░░░░░░░░ hiding Why is fox ░░░░░░░░ saying anything First off ░░░░░░░░ because I asked them ░░░░░░░░ to say anything They ░░░░░░░░ honoring my wishes out ░░░░░░░░ respect for my privacy ░░░░░░░░ though they were getting ░░░░░░░░ lot of heat trying ░░░░░░░░ protect my privacy I ░░░░░░░░ t really hiding anything ░░░░░░░░ felt I wasn t ░░░░░░░░ story The stories on ░░░░░░░░ show were and are ░░░░░░░░ stories about you It ░░░░░░░░ not about me Just ░░░░░░░░ this show My opinions ░░░░░░░░ t matter You matter ░░░░░░░░ news matters but this ░░░░░░░░ drag on a long ░░░░░░░░ for me So you ░░░░░░░░ do deserve a explanation ░░░░░░░░ me Here goes I ░░░░░░░░ get Covid again but ░░░░░░░░ far far more serious ░░░░░░░░ What doctors called me ░░░░░░░░ few h pneumonia It ░░░░░░░░ me in intensive care ░░░░░░░░ was touch and go ░░░░░░░░ of you who wanted ░░░░░░░░ put me out of ░░░░░░░░ darn near got what ░░░░░░░░ wanted for The grassy ░░░░░░░░ theory came up a ░░░░░░░░ My compromised immune system ░░░░░░░░ had cancer I have ░░░░░░░░ sclerosis I m among ░░░░░░░░ vulnerable 3 of the ░░░░░░░░ cannot sustain the full ░░░░░░░░ of the vaccine In ░░░░░░░░ words it simply doesn ░░░░░░░░ last but let me ░░░░░░░░ clear doctors say had ░░░░░░░░ not been vaccinated at ░░░░░░░░ I wouldn t be ░░░░░░░░ It provided some defense ░░░░░░░░ that is still better ░░░░░░░░ know defense Maybe not ░░░░░░░░ comfort for some of ░░░░░░░░ frankly not great comfort ░░░░░░░░ me either This was ░░░░░░░░ P how scary I ░░░░░░░░ talking ponderosa suddenly out ░░░░░░░░ the prime rib in ░░░░░░░░ middle of the buffet ░░░░░░░░ scary That is how ░░░░░░░░ No matter I m ░░░░░░░░ here to debate vaccinations ░░░░░░░░ you Just offer an ░░░░░░░░ for me I owed ░░░░░░░░ that I didn t ░░░░░░░░ to become the story ░░░░░░░░ for many of you ░░░░░░░░ did So now you ░░░░░░░░ the story Time to ░░░░░░░░ back to far more ░░░░░░░░ matters And now I ░░░░░░░░ And now I go ░░░░░░░░ dr Bob Lahita one ░░░░░░░░ the best experts I ░░░░░░░░ in anything Covid related ░░░░░░░░ at a great time ░░░░░░░░ simply because I m ░░░░░░░░ I m sure the ░░░░░░░░ is thrilled but more ░░░░░░░░ the point worldwide standards ░░░░░░░░ Covid restrictions dr Lahita ░░░░░░░░ to have you We ░░░░░░░░ just getting word out ░░░░░░░░ Britain Boris Johnson is ░░░░░░░░ all restrictions for Covid ░░░░░░░░ echoes a pattern we ░░░░░░░░ seen popping up in ░░░░░░░░ country a lot of ░░░░░░░░ Is it too soon ░░░░░░░░ you No it is ░░░░░░░░ neil First of all ░░░░░░░░ is good to have ░░░░░░░░ back God bless I ░░░░░░░░ glad you re back ░░░░░░░░ the screen because I ░░░░░░░░ you also but no ░░░░░░░░ is not too early ░░░░░░░░ ease restrictions People have ░░░░░░░░ use common sense The ░░░░░░░░ here if you re ░░░░░░░░ a closed non ventilated ░░░░░░░░ like an airplane a ░░░░░░░░ a subway a train ░░░░░░░░ should still wear your ░░░░░░░░ People like me health ░░░░░░░░ workers nurses doctors also ░░░░░░░░ teachers should probably continue ░░░░░░░░ wear the masks But ░░░░░░░░ s about it I ░░░░░░░░ we can ease the ░░░░░░░░ based on the modest ░░░░░░░░ of the omicron variant ░░░░░░░░ s talk a little ░░░░░░░░ what is going on ░░░░░░░░ lot of people gotten ░░░░░░░░ Got news quinn Elizabeth ░░░░░░░░ Britain 95 years young ░░░░░░░░ with it Mild symptoms ░░░░░░░░ far I understand that ░░░░░░░░ the case for most ░░░░░░░░ but how do you ░░░░░░░░ this sort of you ░░░░░░░░ playing out I am ░░░░░░░░ am worried about the ░░░░░░░░ but they will have ░░░░░░░░ knoll antibodies She has ░░░░░░░░ few comorbid h bitties ░░░░░░░░ she has few comore ░░░░░░░░ cocomorbidities She should walk ░░░░░░░░ of the hospital A ░░░░░░░░ has to do with ░░░░░░░░ which in her case ░░░░░░░░ probably very very good ░░░░░░░░ relaxing of sew many ░░░░░░░░ a lot of people ░░░░░░░░ argue maybe justified by ░░░░░░░░ hospitalization numbers and death ░░░░░░░░ they could let their ░░░░░░░░ down There is plurality ░░░░░░░░ fairly strong plurally have ░░░░░░░░ been vaccinated at all ░░░░░░░░ know that concerns but ░░░░░░░░ m just wondering whether ░░░░░░░░ have developed these so ░░░░░░░░ natural immunity to gird ░░░░░░░░ this what do you ░░░░░░░░ Well I think we ░░░░░░░░ I think if you ░░░░░░░░ been infected and you ░░░░░░░░ not been vaccinated you ░░░░░░░░ a high degree of ░░░░░░░░ immunity which in some ░░░░░░░░ actually is better than ░░░░░░░░ vaccine provided immunity but ░░░░░░░░ vaccine is still the ░░░░░░░░ fire way to protect ░░░░░░░░ and then people over ░░░░░░░░ age of say 65 ░░░░░░░░ booster shot is also ░░░░░░░░ Neil we re hearing ░░░░░░░░ the CDC has a ░░░░░░░░ of data on this ░░░░░░░░ just recently being released ░░░░░░░░ was kept and held ░░░░░░░░ them Neil yeah That ░░░░░░░░ me I read The ░░░░░░░░ York Times story where ░░░░░░░░ CDC is hanging on ░░░░░░░░ a lot of data ░░░░░░░░ sharing with the public ░░░░░░░░ there are reams and ░░░░░░░░ I get that but ░░░░░░░░ much do we don ░░░░░░░░ know In that vacuum ░░░░░░░░ we judging conclusions that ░░░░░░░░ not well be justified ░░░░░░░░ ve seen that from ░░░░░░░░ beginning We re hoping ░░░░░░░░ of the data that ░░░░░░░░ out is legitimate Now ░░░░░░░░ heard different versions from ░░░░░░░░ FDA from the CDC ░░░░░░░░ the White House so ░░░░░░░░ has been inconsistent message ░░░░░░░░ that we know some ░░░░░░░░ the data has been ░░░░░░░░ held it really troubles ░░░░░░░░ I would like to ░░░░░░░░ for example between 18 ░░░░░░░░ 50 year olds postvaccine ░░░░░░░░ example What about infectivity ░░░░░░░░ children why the numbers ░░░░░░░░ up with the omicron ░░░░░░░░ So all of that ░░░░░░░░ has to come out ░░░░░░░░ we need it to ░░░░░░░░ out sooner than later ░░░░░░░░ you know one of ░░░░░░░░ things that has been ░░░░░░░░ these studies that kids ░░░░░░░░ and are if you ░░░░░░░░ about it doctor through ░░░░░░░░ of this largely unaffected ░░░░░░░░ m not saying entirely ░░░░░░░░ were some carry cases ░░░░░░░░ do you think that ░░░░░░░░ and is I think ░░░░░░░░ the immune system of ░░░░░░░░ children young people in ░░░░░░░░ are quite robust And ░░░░░░░░ know when you think ░░░░░░░░ the gen z population ░░░░░░░░ is the younger generations ░░░░░░░░ in the early 20s ░░░░░░░░ to 30 18 and ░░░░░░░░ say they exercise they ░░░░░░░░ eat fairly well They ░░░░░░░░ concerned about their health ░░░░░░░░ re concerned about their ░░░░░░░░ appearance All of that ░░░░░░░░ good nutrition lack of ░░░░░░░░ means they have good ░░░░░░░░ Good immunity is really ░░░░░░░░ them Plus this virus ░░░░░░░░ to have people who ░░░░░░░░ older immune systems those ░░░░░░░░ comorbidities Those with lung ░░░░░░░░ autoimmune diseases other infections ░░░░░░░░ severe diabetes So I ░░░░░░░░ what s going on ░░░░░░░░ so doctor to that ░░░░░░░░ of the population which ░░░░░░░░ m a member I ░░░░░░░░ not trying to be ░░░░░░░░ or in my own ░░░░░░░░ interest here although I ░░░░░░░░ being selfish and these ░░░░░░░░ my own interests here ░░░░░░░░ that subset of the ░░░░░░░░ is this still a ░░░░░░░░ Yes it is Among ░░░░░░░░ subset of the population ░░░░░░░░ as yourself it is ░░░░░░░░ dangerous and as you ░░░░░░░░ you were fully vaccinated ░░░░░░░░ bless that you did ░░░░░░░░ because that saved you ░░░░░░░░ you re fully vaccinated ░░░░░░░░ can still be infected ░░░░░░░░ we know the way ░░░░░░░░ virus varies its spike ░░░░░░░░ and changes from population ░░░░░░░░ population there is always ░░░░░░░░ variants that are possible ░░░░░░░░ forbid we should see ░░░░░░░░ variant like delta for ░░░░░░░░ so that is what ░░░░░░░░ So the comorbidities weaken ░░░░░░░░ immune system to allow ░░░░░░░░ be easy I infected ░░░░░░░░ allow you to be ░░░░░░░░ by other things like ░░░░░░░░ and molds Neil thank ░░░░░░░░ very much I always ░░░░░░░░ dr LA teeth ha ░░░░░░░░ were a big deal ░░░░░░░░ I was in intensive ░░░░░░░░ so you know dr ░░░░░░░░ I said could you ░░░░░░░░ for me on a ░░░░░░░░ Doctor good to see ░░░░░░░░ Thank you doctor Neil ░░░░░░░░ lot of people ask ░░░░░░░░ question do you know ░░░░░░░░ Lawrence He is fixture ░░░░░░░░ my weekend show so ░░░░░░░░ in my absence.
