We are doing this to ourselves people! Pay attention!

But the vaccine is not appropriate for everyone. Why should people be punished for their body chemistry?

Vaccines are not appropriate for everyone.

Even if the vaccine was not appropraite for me, I would still encourage my family to get vaccinated. Would the fact that the vaccine was not appropriate for me nullify my opinion?

That seems to be what Kathy is saying.

Sometimes I swear I’m living in DeSantiisville…

Good luck

Hello… In the letter above (not the news article), the letter that they all signed…. Where does it specifically say, “I am fully vaccinated and my family is fully vaccinated, including my children, because I believe the vaccine is completely safe.”

I don’t think 1/2 the doctors above would sign my letter to the public. Even an unvaccinated doctor could sign a letter like the one above.

The only commitment they make is” Please, trust us with this as well. We are not asking you to do anything that we ourselves have not already done.“

This is worded very, very, very carefully.

I said “The purpose of a vaccine is to prevent a person from acquiring COVID-19″. The purpose of something and the effect of something are not always the same.

For example, the purpose of publications such as Bernews is to disseminate facts, verified facts. But the allowing of comments permits the dissemination of conspiracy theories and unjustified criticism.

As I said, he purpose of something and the effect of something are not always the same.

If my GP was advising me to get vaxed and he wasn’t I’d be curious too .

Some people get great medical treatment while others who may not be knowledgeable or connected to knowledgeable people are given medication almost like they are lab rats.

So many people have stories about drugs they were prescribed for one thing while making something else worse.

It’s great that over half of the island’s doctors are recommending the vaccine but these are the same people handing out prescriptions and sick notes sometimes with just a” fare thee well” so I understand the ambivalence because doctors are not perfect and just 19 months ago no one had an answer.

While we’re making lists, let’s list FDA approved drugs that have been recalled and how long it took for anyone to know they were problematic. Then let’s talk about how many of the hundred people above prescribed any of them to their patients in the past. Proceed with caution.

And it’s not their decision, because it affects everyone. We all have an interest in their decision.

But you know all of that.

Duane, you’re not worried that they are only for emergency authorization use (EUA) like the vaccine used to be? I seem to recall you railing against EUA as it hadn’t been fully approved.

Also, the vaccines do have full FDA approval for people 16 and above.

You need to come correct when making your statements instead of spreading misinformation.

Stopping the spread in the first place is more impactful than trying to mitigate the potentially disasterous effects of COVID-19 after it has invaded the body and caused damage.

There is quite a bit of misinformation in your post about FDA approvals. The vaccines are approved and safe. They are not a treatment, but an effective protective solution at our disposal.

Prick.

I believe this letter and endorsement from this large body of medical professionals speaks volumes.

I know the medical qualifications of many of the doctors named above. Please will you set out where you obtained your medical science education and your relevant qualifications so that we can better understand your comments.

As for monoclonal antibody infusion therapy, it only received “emergency use” approval (NOT “Full FDA Approval”) from the FDA last November. See https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/coronavirus-covid-19-update-fda-authorizes-monoclonal-antibodies-treatment-covid-19.

Why do you believe that monoclonal antibody infusion therapy is not being used in people in Bermuda who test positive for COVID-19.

By the way, monoclonal antibody infusion therapy is appropriate for people who acquire COVID-19, according to the FDA. The purpose of a vaccine is to prevent a person from acquiring COVID-19. The different treatments appear to have different purposes. Your comment does not address that issue.

To Duane P. Santucci: let’s be sensible here. Your comment, “ are they in Bed with this Government in helping to mislead the general public as if the vaccines are the only recognized solutions” is FLAWED!! Please recognize the difference between the vaccine and this treatment you speak of. The vaccine is preventative treatment which can stop the impact of disastrous impact of new and more dangerous variants; whereas, Monoclonal treatment is a reactionary treatment and used once a patient has COVID-19.

In my estimation, it would be good to offer such a treatment for those diagnosed with COVID-19, as well.

It’s amazing they can come out and support the vaccines without any mention of any other treatments that is being used in the Medical World and Winning the War Against this Covid19 Disease, or are they in Bed with this Government in helping to mislead the general public as if the vaccines are the only recognized solutions.

Strange how The Monoclonal Antibody Infusion Injections have been given The Full FDA Approval and long before the vaccines which are still yet to get full FDA approval.
