I explained it. If you can't figure that out, that's on you; chalking it up to you being illogical was far too generous of me. After your 20th Covid booster, stop off at McDonald's and pick up a couple of double quarter-pounders with supersize fries.And, again, why are we talking about my diet in a thread about COVID? How are the two related, at all?
QPCs suck. Big Macs, though, are tasty.
You don’t seem to be able to figure it out: I don’t have any diet-related health problems or risk factors. Food does not pose a threat to me, so I do not worry about it. I am sorry if you have to, but I wish you would not ruin what had been fun conversations about food by attempting to weaponize them in an entirely unrelated conversation about COVID.
COVID does pose a relatively mild threat to me that has been easily mitigated by getting vaccinated. Again, I do not see how my stance is controversial.
After your 20th Covid booster? Assumed sarcasm? If not you believe that taking a normal dosage (2) pills would be better if you took 10? Yikes!I explained it.

As to food choices Moderation is the key, No?

Psychosomatic?😎. Sounds like how people react to gluten!Long Covid? Isnt it enough to call it Covid? Why add another name to it so it sounds worse? Is there a thing called long cancer?
From the Lancet: "Because of long COVID's diverse symptomatology, reliance on self-reported symptoms, and a lack of diagnostic tests and consensus definition, many patients struggle to obtain a definitive diagnosis. As a result, long COVID is often easily dismissed as a psychosomatic condition."
Long COVID: 3 years in
March 11 marks 3 years since WHO declared COVID-19 to be a pandemic. While the world is determined to move on from the acute phase, at least 65 million people are estimated to struggle with long COVID, a debilitating post-infection multisystem condition with common symptoms of fatigue, shortness...www.thelancet.com

That being said Dr. John Campbell commenting on German research on the spike protein in the vaccine?
As a scientist, I try to never predict an effect. The null hypothesis is nearly always that the control and test populations are equal—no effect, unless the test data say differently.Actually no but I took the initial warnings seriously before the vaccine was formulated and administered. Science is never absolute. It is always changing as more facts and information are accumulated. Science is not faith based or decided by a vote.
The scientific method
- Make an observation.
- Ask a question.
- Form a hypothesis, or testable explanation.
- Make a prediction based on the hypothesis.
- Test the prediction.
- Iterate: use the results to make new hypotheses or predictions.
It just generates more fear. People dig into that like hotcakes...Why add another name to it so it sounds worse? Is there a thing called long cancer?

Once, it showed up on my birthday last August. Fully vaxxed and boosted, it started with nasal congestion and then a really sore throat. Kinda out of it for several days and then persistent congestion for several months.I think I got it once. When I returned from southern Brazil in January 2020, I had a mysterious cough for 10 days or so. It was odd.
I got tested for covid antibodies a few months later and had them, so I think I had covid at least once. I've since received 5 Moderna vaccines and feel great.
How many times did you get covid, if any?
What was it like?
Why do you refuse to answer my questions? Not about Campbell who is very self- deprecating. You seem very upset. Why?Here's a much better source on coronavirus:

harmful ignorance? You have great faith in your beliefs which when questioned you immediately label misinformation and attack the messenger. A true scientist or medical doctor always welcomes questions.I'm not upset. I'm not a scientist or medical doctor so I'm not going to research his misinformation.

Science is not based on faith.
Are you?I gave you a link to science from Harvard.
They answer many questions.
Are you willing to learn and change?
Are you?
Certainly, but based on your earlier response on German research I don't believe you are being truthful.Yes.
That's why I'm studying the Harvard link.
Now you answer.

and I look forward to you having an open mind towards you understanding that science is not a religion based on faith. My opinion like science is always changing and am not reticent to saying " I don't know" . There are experts on both sides of the issue. Have a nice weekend.I look forward to you changing your opinion based on evidence from the experts and not a retired nurse on YouTube.

Your right. Just like the vast majority of people are not going to get "long covid" so why worry about it? 10% "ESTIMATED" of those infected with severe cases could contract long covid supposedly. So that's about .7% chance of getting long covid if that? Ill continue to watch my diet.It is not my entire diet, and it is clearly not a death warrant for me. I actually don't really understand all the people talking about feeling guilty or afraid of eating food that they enjoy. Having a hot dog or a bag of chips is not going to kill the vast majority of people, and it's definitely not going to kill me. Additionally, I am not actually worried about dying from COVID. I am worried about the chronic dysfunction and impairment associated with long COVID. Again, why are we discussing what I eat in a thread about having COVID?
From the linked study.I don't view science like religion. I'm not sure how you got that assumption.
Your opinion on vaccines probably won't change based on the scientific evidence. I'd be thrilled to be wrong and you change.
The evidence is overwhelming that covid vaccines are safe and effective.
99% of medical doctors in America agree.
Have a nice weekend as well.
From the linked study.
"On the surface, our results provide some reassuring news for using physicians as leading vaccine promoters. We found that only 5.2% of PCPs were unvaccinated against COVID at the time of our survey, echoing the findings of the American Medical Association’s June 2021 survey. In addition, our results suggest that PCPs’ views toward vaccines are overwhelmingly positive – 88% of physicians agreed or strongly agreed that vaccines in general are safe. Likewise, 90% of physicians agreed that vaccines are effective, and 89% agreed that vaccines are important. When we compared our PCP responses to responses from the general public on the same questions, we found that PCPs are 19% more likely to strongly agree that vaccines are safe and 16% more likely to strongly agree they’re effective."
"Digging deeper into the data, however, reveals some troubling trends. Even if most physicians are well-positioned to serve as vaccination advocates, our results still suggest that 10.1% of PCPs do not agree that vaccines in general are safe. Similarly, 9.3% do not agree that all vaccines are effective, and 8.3% do not agree that they are important."

Researchers studying vaccine hesitancy found the same factors thought to encourage hesitancy in the general public – like having right-leaning political views – might also motivate physician opposition.today.tamu.edu
Point taken but you did say 99%. Also a different opinion on a subject doesn't make them a quack or bottom feeder. You only use that language because you don't agree with their position.90% of medical doctors approving covid vaccines is a pretty great number.
I think 10% of any profession has it's quacks/bottom feeders.
I've personally asked 6 doctors I know and trust and they all received and promote the covid vaccines.
AMA survey shows over 96% of doctors fully vaccinated against COVID-19

So what is it? 98%, 99%, 96%, 1 in 10? How many of these quacks are out there and how do we destroy these dissenters careers? How dare they defy conventional wisdom.I gave a link that showed 98% of American physicians approve of the covid vaccines.
I call the medical doctors that don't agree quacks because they disagree with the overwhelming scientific evidence that covid vaccines are safe and effective.
