When you try to convince anti vaxxers about the number of Covid deaths, they respond with the number killed or injured by the vaccine. Their sources may be suspect, but this is who they trust. Don’t know the answer

Stop praising Fauci...I know you Italians,like it support each other like bloody mafia. Fauci is lying scumbag, should be prosecuted.

Fantastic episode, from mRNA Cancer vaccine to amazing Jazz pianists to the summer of love DNA translation video I wish I’d known about during biochem class. Thank you!

Super fun to hear everyone’s excitement about current technology advancements in your field. The astrocyte Houston comment was a gem. Did no one laugh? I may not follow all you discussed, but I caught that joke. Keep up the great work.

* everyone is included under ‘guys‘... Can we grandfather... grandparent that phrase in please?

I love you guys. Thank you for existing. Even if you guys weren‘t ‘succeeding‘/popular enough, I still think you are important enough to run out of a bunker like a post-apocyliptic government after nuclear disaster (probably more so, if you ran a series of guest hosting physicists). Just so you know, you guys are of real importance - don‘t let it go to your heads 😋

Good information is essential for good decisions!

Is there any evidence of blood pressure dropping when the mRNA vaccine is used? The spike targets the ACE2 receptor and so might up regulate and result in BP dropping.

In lecture 5 of last semesters class you stated that the virus would be mild, hard immunity would be a likely endpoint of the emerging novel Corona virus. Please reconcile. Your word is gospel. On 12/4/21, Lori Garrett announced that the South African, variant had mutated and notable region of "spike" had "folded" possibly rendering vaccines useless. I'm still carrying on, believing that what's occurred is holiday cheer V SARS-COV-2 and "founder" effect. No new STRAIN/s, only variant/s. CORRECT

You have not addressed the potential for an issue with antigen tests not being as effective.

Fauci the very wealthy pharma puppet? you can't be serious. Too much propoganda. Total waste of a podcast.

Thanks for great podcast. I mostly didn't understand what she said. Still, thanks.

love you TwiV

Refreshing to listen to SMEs who don't sound like they're trying to support a political narrative. Objectivity lost equals credibility lost.

Great episode as always.

Glad to hear you're collectively in favor of going back to the classroom, albeit with smart precautions. Staying at home for an indeterminate time is not sustainable. Love your podcast. Been listening since last year, wish I would have found you sooner. Thanks.

You diminish your credibility as clinicians and scientists when you engage in pot shots and cheap talk about politicians and I really wish you wouldn't
