Very well explained Dr. Joel Yong. This information which has been explained in a very simple way is very important and should be shared with all on social media like Whatsapp. I will do it immediately.
Excellent summary of the action of a vaccine and what we can do to minimize the effects of viruses and vaccine damage of our immune systems. Thank you for focusing it on what is our responsibility for our health. Your links are great. I will be sharing them with my patients.
Hi Dr Yong, It would seem that with each Covid booster there is more need for efficient/rapid clearning/ autophagy? If one has no comorbidity issues except age would one be able to clear and be more protected with boosters then without an initial vaccine or a boosters? Have you written anything on the Covid vaccines since this article?
To be honest, I wouldn't want to run the risk of that idea - I've taken the vaccine myself, even though I don't necessarily agree with it. It's more for a convenience thing than a health thing to me.
Even though yes, one with autophagy working properly in them may be able to survive and thrive without a vaccine, but I wouldn't really want to test the waters there.
However, as the COVID symptoms start reducing in severity worldwide, I don't really see the need to discuss the vaccines any longer. It's more of just taking it for convenience purposes so that one can travel about freely once again.
thank you for an excellent explanation on this, really appreciated. I do not see a flaw in your logic. But beyond the science, I am more than willing to take my chance with the vaccine just so that we can all get our lives back. I feel as though we have been hijacked by the health science community and nothing short of taking the vaccine will allow us freedom of movement again. It is Russian roulette, one bullet, 100 chambers. If you make it, you get to live, again.
My idea is that we don’t want to use the vaccine as if it’s the final solution - because what will happen if we do assume that we’ll be completely immune to the virus thereafter?
For entirely selfish reasons, I get out of my basement and travel again.
That said, i am hoping that a booster may be included in yearly flu shots. Could flu shots (with or without Covid mRNA) also cause a cytokine storm? Would Enbrel, Humira, Remicade, MTX be the solution if that happens?
I'd say that the cytokine storm arises as a result of the dysregulated inflammatory signalling mechanisms that are derived from the immune system's response to any infection or threat to the body - more on that has been covered at The Drama Of Inflammation And Its Annoying Tendencies.
When we're looking at the signalling mechanism, we're looking at something functioning similar to a lock and key mechanism. The cytokines that are synthesised by the immune cells can either unlock pro- or anti-inflammatory "locks" - unlock too many of the pro-inflammatory locks , and we're looking at the potential of a cytokine storm developing.
When we have the novel expensive biologics drugs such as Humira and Remicade come into play, we do have to bear in mind that what these do will be to function as dummy keys - they will fit into the locks, but they cannot unlock the locks to trigger the pro-inflammatory response. In this way, they quell the intensity of the inflammatory response...
But they don't do squat with regards to how much of those cytokines are being produced from a dysregulated inflammatory response.
Ok, well I have not stopped travelling since last March. Domestically and Internationally. Not sure why you think you have to stop. In most countries it is recommended not to travel but it is not a law.
Not sure what you mean about getting our lives back. Not sure that is an assumption you should make. Try the natural health based immune boosters suggested in the post. Russian roulette is not a good game to play.
thank you Carol. I do take these supplements, and I believe it makes a difference. As for travel, I would like to head to Asia for the winter, but many places require a two-week quarantine upon entry, under local authority supervision, at a cost of RM5000 in Malaysia. VietNam has not entry I believe. And things change fairly quickly, a place could be open today, but closed in two weeks from now.

Thank you! I try to do my best!

You’re very welcome! Thanks for the compliments!

Indeed it is a Russian roulette thing.

Try Zinc, Vit D and what is suggested in the post

Yes indeed, the Singapore-Hong Kong air bubble was recently pulled, and that’s already posing enough headaches for now.
And why so? Irresponsible because I'm saying that the immune system's defensive abilities are overlooked by vaccine hype and marketing?
You could qualify your statements better in future.
Just dropping a comment like “ grossly irresponsible “ is Facebook type fodder. It means nothing.
