Brian thanks so much Todd. Meanwhile, in just a few hours, President Biden will update the nation on how the? U dot S, is responding to the Omicron variant after an emergency meeting with at side or s yesterday, this is travel. Bannon. Eight african countries goes into effect. Today he took his time Fox NEWS contributor and our Fox NEWS contributor, Dr Nicole Saphier, deals with this everyday and comes on television to talk about it. They say there are thirty mutations with this. It might be vaccine resistant well know within fourteen days, but in almost all cases the symptoms are mild. Well Brian, we have to remember that throughout the entire course of the pandemic were communicating a lot of uncertainties, and especially it it comes to omicron. A lot of things people are hearing is conjecture, so lets talk about what we know. This new variant omicron as youve mentioned its a notice that has about thirty two mutations in the spike proteins and other areas of the virus, its important to remember alpha beta Delta. They all had

mutations about 10 15 in the spike protein as well. Omicron just has a combination of it, so the big questions are: is it more contagious? Is it going to cause more severe disease and will it escape immunity? The truth is, we dont know right now. This all started because South Africa noticed a rise in cases thats good NEWS, it wasnt a rise in severe illness or deaths and in fact they were pointing out a lot of mild symptoms associated with this fatigue. Joint pain, not cough shortness of breath and the loss of taste and smell, and this did circulate in college campuses, which younger kids tend to have more mild symptoms. So its hard to say give a few weeks and we will get more information when it comes to whether or not its going to escape immunity. The bottom line it may dampen the effects of vaccine and natural immunity, but its not going to render it completely nill and thats good news, and our treatment will also likely have effect as well, and the tests will detect it. Brian and the question is we want these countries to be transparent, but they are getting

punished for it and, whether you like it or not, Dr Scott Gottlieb, who I know you respect, says theres too much. We dont know to impose economically social policies on South Africa and other nations. Ready fire aim is not prudent public policy thats. What seems to be but well see Joe Biden will say one thing today for sure: get a booster get vaccinated and then well go from there. I want to bring you to a Wall Street Journal story that happened over the weekend. We discussed on television about natural immunity that Dr Fauci AMP Company refused to take into play were not even studying it. When you get the virus you get antibodies. How does that compare to getting the vaccine, and should you get both several peer reviewed studies conducted an early part of the pandemic say that during the first wave, around eighty percent are less likely to test positive during the next surge. Studies also show. The studies show that in many cases, according to the

danish population, that this is better than the vaccine and an Israel study says thirteen times more likely to get infected than those with prior infections. The study hasnt been peer, reviewed, but its thirteen times better to have natural immunity and in the UK, without a peer review. They are saying its about equal. Why dont? We take natural immunity into consultation when we come up to where this country is in terms of vaccine status, which right now, I think, is around sixty percent nationwide. Well, Brian. That was just a short list of the list of evidence that supports natural immunity and unfortunately, the United States finds themself in a manmade purgatory, where you have a mountain of evidence, suggesting that natural immunity is protective against future infections, maybe as protective or even better than the vaccine induced immunity. But the White House, the CDC, the N Ih, are so hesitant to

mention it because they fear itll thwart their vaccines, that it is distrust in public health. The truth is infection does provide some protection. Will it be the same against Omicron im, not sure, but yes, natural immunity is protective against future infections, just like vaccines. Nothing is one hundred percent fool proof. Brian lets talk about your breakthrough case. What did you experience a few weeks ago? I found myself having a breakthrough case. I was three months after my second dose, so no I wasnt eligible for a booster. Yet, but thankfully we had testing, I had access to treatments, given that I do have a medical condition that I take medications for that suppress ed my immune system, and so we have come so far since March, two thousand and twenty, where immediately I could be tested immediately. I could call my doctors and immediately I could be treated and that kept me having mild case. I also had some vaccine induced immunity in me, so we are in a much better place now than we were, but bottom line going forward, no amount of mask

ing or boosting will get us to being risk free from Sars, Co V, two, so its important through vaccinations through boosters, healthy diet, physical exercise, social connectivity and moving forward with our life. This virus will become indemic. We need to keep the panic out of it, because facts over fear will get us forward. Brian, are you one hundred percent right now? Are you okay? I feel great Brian.
