Many questions addressed on this last episode of 2021! • Should people who talk about COVID policy actually see COVID patients, and are doctors biased by their daily practice experience? • How should holiday meals "safely" occur, and how can we understand risk and risk reduction? • Are Vinay and Zubin wrong about the response around college students and COVID? • Did Francis Collins try to discredit "fringe epidemiologist" Jay Bhattacharya and his colleagues instead of promoting dialog? • Why is Dr. Z so sick of talking about COVID? • Is Omicron milder than prior strains? • Is myocarditis from vaccines in young men more common than myocarditis from natural COVID infection? Here's the UK myocarditis preprint that Vinay referenced. • Subscribe to "The VPZD Show" on your favorite podcast app. • Check out our new Substack collaboration, "Sensible Medicine" here. • Dr. Prasad's "Plenary Session" podcast. • Dr. Damania's "ZDoggMD Show" podcast. • More on Vinay. • More on Zubin.
