Can I say one more thing? Sure. I am also a psychiatric nurse practitioner in private practice with a psychiatrist for the last few years. Wonderful. Wonderful, wonderful.

Well, I'm going to kind of veer off to what I heard on the news this morning that scared the heck out of me, that I'm not trying to be political, but Trump is going to give the Department of Public Health, or HEW, over to that crazoid, what is it, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ? and who's an anti-vaxxer and a conspiracy theorist and who eats, who had worms in his brain. I mean, that's so frightening.

So if you think people aren't getting vaccinated now, can you just imagine what will happen with him on the airways spewing all these crazy theories and I won't even say half-truths, I'm gonna say no truths. How many people will die because of that false information? And everything he's saying has been disproven, I guess in the 70s when the doctor in England who made up the false research

How many people will die because of that false information? And everything he's saying has been disproven, I guess in the 70s when the doctor in England who made up the false research

that was not reproducible, got prosecuted and lost his medical license, and he might have even gone to jail. But so many, I'm going to say probably 100,000s of people have died because of that false information. So I'll leave it there to your next question.

My concern is that there are a lot of people who have no medical background, including some that do, who are misguided and have false beliefs and who very easily share these along with other conspiracy theories about vaccines causing autism. And that has been disproven over and over again.

But the sad part of that are all the deaths that have occurred unnecessarily because of that information that people feel that or believe that it causes autism. And that has been disproven on multiple levels, multiple times. And as we all know, I'm of a certain age. I think polio vaccine came out in the late 40s. I was born in 51. Forget that number.

And I have to say, I took care of, in my 50 years as a nurse, one person on an iron lung at Hennepin County Medical Center. But most people, if you say, do you know anybody with polio? They would say no. Do you know anybody with what was the other one? Not scarlet fever, but it was another one that was killing a lot of people. Smallpox. Smallpox. That's it with the S. And.

It's just how can people say they're not going to get vaccinated? Polio is still well, we've got a resurgence in this country because of all the people who've come from abroad who are not vaccinated and some people who were born here, young people who are not vaccinated. So it is frightening to me. It's just very frightening. So, you know,

Well, I have heard people say, oh, I'm not going to get that COVID vaccine. Oh, it kills people. It does this and that. And for those people, I have to say this. COVID, the vaccine has saved, I'm gonna say millions and millions of lives. I think in this country due to false information, I think over a million people unnecessarily died who did not take the vaccine. And it's heartbreaking.

Clarence and I have a friend who used to be a reporter at the spokesman. I'm trying to think of his name now. And when he was in the hospital before they intubated him, he said, I wish I had taken the vaccine. Please take the vaccine. And he died the next day. You know who I'm talking about, Clarence.
