Dr. Marty Makary: There Will Be ‘Unintended Harm’ From Covid Booster Requirements For College Students
Listen To The Full Interview Below:
Dr. Marty Makary, Fox News Contributor, Surgeon, and Professor Of Health Policy At The Johns Hopkins School Of Public Health joined the Guy Benson Show to talk about the hysteria over the new covid Omicron variant.
Dr. Makary echoed comments made by Dr. Nicole Saphire saying,
“Yes. What Dr. Nicole Saphire is doing is creating the notion that people do not want to accept, and that is, we are dealing with a more mild virus which doesn’t have the stigma of COVID 19. People do not want to accept that, and they want to. Well, there’s this modern-day McCarthyism that if you don’t take this seriously as the bubonic plague, you are the enemy. And you know what? I was out there and Dr. Saphire was out there almost every day last year, telling people, this is not the flu. We got to take it seriously. Now we’ve got a virus that has got the case fatality of influenza or better, and it’s got going to have high circulation. It’s going to be rampant, it’s going to be endemic and ubiquitous. That’s Omicron.”
Dr. Makary weighed in on the push to vaccinate college students with boosters saying,
“Schools are going to now need a booster. The way we reflexively went to a booster. The second a milder virus came to this country is absolutely unscientific. It’s no, there’s no logic to it. Tell college students they need a booster. There will be unintended harm from this new policy. Colleges are every day now announcing their mandatory booster requirement. They will cause myocarditis in people who will get no benefit from the booster, I guarantee you. The study just came out of Oxford, published in Nature Medicine, one of our top journals showing that the rate of myocarditis from the vaccine is higher than we thought, and it’s higher than you get from myocarditis from COVID itself.”
