We bring back these episodes originally released in April 2022 about extra doses and the confusion of using the word booster. We talk about getting certain terms in the graveyard of tearing down terminology and making sure folks understand what these extra vaccine doses are all about. How many do we need?? And why are scientists and medical doctors not agreeing?? How do we manage the vaccine fatigue, the inequity and the inconvenience? How you decide for yourself using a risk benefit and alternative analysis, and what is the deal with the 87 dose man??? And isn't big pharma just saying we need this for them to get rich and we are just tiring the immune system?? You are not sheep! You are survivors!
