My goal is and has always been to try and get the best, latest and most accurate information out to the public and my patients.
The medical literature changes by the day. That’s why doctors must use UPTODATE, it’s the only tool that reviews the entire medical literature, filters out the junk and provides current best evidence updated in real time.
Here is what UPTODATE has on COVID vaccines today.
"Vaccines available in the United States have been demonstrated to be highly effective in large randomized trials, substantially reduce the risk of COVID-19, especially severe/critical disease, and have been associated with substantial reductions in COVID-19-associated hospitalizations and deaths [14-21], even in the context of variants that partially evade vaccine-induced immune responses. Hospitalization and mortality rates for COVID-19 have been consistently higher among unvaccinated compared with vaccinated individuals, with or without booster doses [22]. In addition to direct reductions in COVID-19-associated morbidity and mortality, vaccination has been associated with lower non-COVID-19 mortality rates, supporting evidence that COVID-19 vaccination does not increase the risk of death [23].

Do you really think you know more than these doctors do? Do you think non-physician antivaxxers know more than Professors at Harvard Medical School? Do you really think the fake experts on FOX News, some of whom never even completed a residency program know more than the professors who run infectious disease fellowships?
