Who will soon be going to a live concert?

We just saw Rhiannon Giddens last week. Proof of vaccination required (and checked). And it was an outdoor concert so we felt pretty safe. From her comments, it sounded like this was her first public performance in a long time. And her partner, Francesco Turrisi had a funny story about how difficult it was for him to get a visa. He had to document that he had an extraordinary talent, among other things.

It’s not a pandemic of the unvaccinated, that is what you are told. Look at the numbers in Israel where almost 90% are vaccinated. Look at our numbers from a year ago when no one was vaccinated and compare them to now when almost 60% have the jab. Vaccinated people continue to spread the virus.

From the beginning we should have taken care of the elderly and compromised, promoted treatments instead of vaccines and encouraged a healthy lifestyle. But that never happened. Why? I’ll let you draw your own conclusions.


The problem I have is that we have been, and continue to be, lied to by the CDC, MSM, and our own government.  

So I’ll leave you guys at it to believe what you believe. See how that works? I don’t care if you get the jab or wear a mask (or two) for the rest of your life. I’m not going to force you to do anything and I’d appreciate the same in return.

I have been to 11 live shows from 9/2020 till this week.  Hospital grade N95 masks on till I was vaccinated, then off, till middle of July, when it was clear Delta was circulating in my area.  The Beacon did a great job not only checking proof of vaccination, for this week's King Crimson concert, but also everyone's IDs to make sure they match the card.  So, the risk of having many virus infected people inside the theater was low (there were probably a few though).  Combined with a good N95 mask (95% effective) (cloth masks are theater (10-50% eff), surgical masks are made to protect the patient, not the surgeon (70% eff)), I was quite safe.

As an MD-PhD scientist with over 40 years of research and clinical experience, with particular experience working on mRNA, I will make a plug for the mRNA vaccines.  They are incredible products.  Game changers for medicine going forward.  They are also super simple at the molecular level.  They have less than a dozen components.  It's just a piece of mRNA and a mixture of fats that encapsulate it, enabling the mRNA to get inside the cells.  As a general rule in medicine, simple has less side effects.

Be safe everyone!
