  2. I remember the day when the journals announced: "a new kind of coronavirus discovered in China" we didnt know that it was going to be one of worst moments of the humanity
    you can also check accurate data on corona cases with a second ,
    feel free to check on me

  3. well, the WHO says that people should be 3 feet apart to "socially distance". Isn't the six feet thing contradictory to that and shouldn't like half the world's videos be taken down now? lol

  4. Censored medical reports and removal of scientific research on Vitamin D, C, etc. But the YT police want the medical research deleted and order us to pray for Vaccines….Mandatory, forced vaccines…Line up…Wait, Don’t be me. I am an M.D. but let me tell you what you do not know about vaccines and what I didn’t know and what 90% of all M.D.'s do not know and what No politician knows… I did not know that Vaccines had not been tested against any placebo (ever). I did not know that animal testing would be skipped for the future COVID vaccines..I did not know the 30+ ingredients used in vaccines. I did not know that there are neurotoxic aluminum and mercury molecules in vaccines. I did not know enough to research vaccines before vaccinating my own children.
    I did not know that my own precocious, active, talking son would be vaccine-injured.
    I did not know that my own baby brother (also an M.D.) would become paralyzed (Guillain-Barre) and then die after his swine flu vaccine in the same hospital (Shands) where he had received his medical training.
    I did not know that my mother(an R.N.) would get 8 vaccines in 1 day to "catch-up" with newly added CDC vaccines to keep her job as Head Nurse in the Largest Hospital in the county and then get such severe, aggressive, progressive brain fog in days and become unable to dial a phone or push an elevator button or remember any of her 5 children in a few weeks and then have this "dementia" progress and then die in diapers
    I did not know that vaccines were given a blanket indemnity from liability in 1986 and now total immunity for all COVID vaccines for the future. I did not know that we gave more vaccines than any other country starting on day #1…I did not know that we have the highest rate of SIDS of the top 35 industrialized countries… I did not know that we had more autism than any other country… I did not know that Vaccines could injure an infant's brain.
    I did not know that vaccines can result in autoimmunity and neurological damage. I did not know that herd immunity does not apply to vaccines and is a myth created by the CDC. I did not know that Vaccines have almost no effect after about four years.
    I did not know how emotional the topic would be and how angry people would be at me for just asking questions about Vaccine Safety. I did not know that pediatricians were paid to give vaccines. I did not know that the CDC owned the Patents on so many vaccines.
    I did not know that the NIH stands to make Billions of dollars on a COVID vaccine.
    I did not know how angry at myself I would be for not knowing. I did not know that the CDC committed fraud and destroyed their evidence in their vaccine safety studies when it showed vaccines can cause autistic neurological changes..I did not know that a whistleblower came forward with all the evidence but he was silenced. I did not know that Merck committed fraud in their vaccine research repeatedly. I did not know that aluminum molecules in the vaccine ingredients is connected to brain inflammation and brain inflammation has been proven to be connected to autism.
    I did not know that vaccines contained human cells from aborted fetuses..
    I did not know how much mainstream media would censor the independent research that showed these facts…I did not know that 90% of all vaccine research that the CDC and FDA use to "approve" vaccines are done by the scientists hired by vaccine makers..I did not know if we were alone… I did not know how many other millions of parents and families in the world have been affected by vaccine reactions..
    I did not know how many would find, join, and share the Facebook help group= Vaccine Support Group on Facebook..I did not know that FB would delete the scientific medical research that had been suppressed, deleted, or censored until it happened to us… Dr.MAS..

  5. Use Telegram to share. Whatsapp (Facebook property) uses that of limiting the number of shares to 5 for preventing chains. Whatsapp is, even more than a messaging tool, a censorship tool.

  6. Youtube talking head identifies VitC and Turmeric as two examples of Youtube snake oil. Ok. Never mind that both are redundantly shown to be powerful anti-inflammatories, and that C ascorbate or IV mitigates against neutrophil nets.

  7. Not a balanced video. There are negative sides of effects to too much Vitamin D, including liver damage.
    I think the following is a much better read on the subject of Vitamin D https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/taking-too-much-vitamin-d-can-cloud-its-benefits-and-create-health-risks
    Based on the theory, countries that consume high levels of Vitamin D as part of their diet should see lower rates. Fish, eggs, and milk are a great source of Vitamin D, hence could be cross-referenced with countries with per-capita consumption of these foods. China & Japan has a very high level of fish & egg consumption per-capita, and it looks like they have a low rate of COVID-19 deaths per-capita.

  8. Thank you for your "opinionated" opinion.
    In deigning to "be opinionated", youi're feeling the birthing-pains of exiting the ivory-tower.
    I think that being an ^ivory-tower^ irrelevent intellectual is a far more-harmful possibilty
    than the possibility of you being ^too opinionated^ (whatever that may mean).
    The fact that you are a practicioner of a profession (a "doctoring" one no less)
    does not mean that Freedom of Speech,, Freedom of Conscience, association, etc. do not apply to you;
    you did not give up your natural rights as a free human being when you became a doctor.
    Please, sir: Rock on!

  9. Yes! Wonderful and well balanced discussion. I have been on C and D daily and I know it is equipping my immune system to better respond to SARS2 and other viruses

  10. You should check out channels that criticise Islamic ideology. They are the ones hit hard by youtube censorship. Youtube sometimes consider presenting evidence-based facts as hate speech or something of that sort.

  11. I think that what that lady in the interview says is the reflection of a worlwide educational problem that does not teach people to question what they see, listen or read and at what exent are they in the position to take accurate decisions… Censorship can be also a type of misinformation, so maybe is also against youtube's policy… Such a paradox😂

  12. The connection of vitamin D deficiency to higher risk of mortality from Covid-19 was made very early on. Imagine how many lives could have been saved if not for media censorship.

  13. I wonder if there is a video in this series that discusses the truths and myths about wearing masks. It seems like that has become an issue to the point of Civil War at least in the US. I would love to hear it from this rational doctor rather than the sickening politics.

  14. Perhaps we should not be surprised New York is plateauing as they killed everyone early. Putting everyone in forced air high-rises and cramming all the elderly in nursing homes with inadequate healthcare would guarantee the virus would spread as quickly as possible. States like Texas and California, where the population is spread out should be expected to have more spread in the curve. But the doctor does not talk about that. Youtube censorship is in line with Communist Chinese guidelines.

  15. There are 3 issues here: 1) Vitamin D levels are lower in northerly climates in winter/spring; 2) Vitamin D levels are lower in these climates among dark-skinned people; 3) Vitamin D levels are inhibited by obesity (which correlates with type-2 diabetes and other Covid risk factors), and by advanced age.
    – Nobody can help #s 1, 2 or being old. You can change your diet. As a vegan, I must say I'm more than annoyed at the failure to admit any link between diet and health status, even in peer reviewed research, the failure to list obesity or poor diet as a "comorbidity" the failure to admit the obvious influence of health status on immunity, the need for some personal responsibility in avoiding obesity, DM, etc.

  16. It sounds to me that YT doesn't want an open forum. They are about controlling the populations thinking and keeping all new or even old ideas out of the public forum if it doesn't fit their agenda.
    Personally, when I saw/heard that clip, what that TY said about W.H.O., it was clear to me that they are taking away everyone right of free speech.
    Where can people go to express, share and exchange ideas about things we are facing worldwide?
    Oh, right here on YT…just as long as it is THEIR OPINION TOO then it's okay BUT if it's another idea, they censor it off! That's BS! I don't trust W.H.O. since the 70s! So why should I only have the W.H.O. guidelines in a public forum?
    If there us anyone rich enough to fight this ridiculous BS please fight it to the highest court!
    I'm starting to not only feel that I live in a communist country but that they are all trying to make me do things that will hurt me and/or my child.
    In all the years I have been alive and aware, the W.H.O. in Africa has not done much to help the the population from starvation UNLESS you were willing sign away your rights to your child to vaccinate your child with any experimental vaccine, medication etc. OR you, as a parent, would NOT be given FOOD and that's what the UN, Red Cross and others are doing and have been for a longtime.
    As a parent, I would never subject my child to any experimental vaccine or medication and yet my own child has been brainwashed into thinking I was a horrible parent since I didn't give him the chicken pox vaccine when he was 18 months old…plus others. The government is destroying the family core and they're doing a damn good job doing it. Smh😖

  17. Dr. Seheult, although this report will likely never sort to the top of any google search list, you probably want to review it as it is likely to change to change everything. It is deft report to American Journal of Epidemiology by Dr. Harvey A. Risch of Yale School of Public Health:
    "Early Outpatient Treatment of Symptomatic, High-Risk Covid-19 Patients that Should be Ramped-Up Immediately as Key to the Pandemic Crisis": https://academic.oup.com/aje/advance-article/doi/10.1093/aje/kwaa093/5847586

  18. A study at the Cleveland Clinic showed that if you take your vitamin D with the biggest meal each day, you can increase the level of vitamin D in the blood by an average of 50 percent. Because active vitamin D is formed after vitamin D passes through the liver and the kidneys, diseases of those organs affect the formation of active vitamin D. In that case, it may be necessary to give a form of vitamin D that doesn’t require the liver or the kidneys to intervene, either 25-hydroxyvitamin D if the liver is compromised, and calcitriol (active vitamin D) or 1-alpha-hydroxycholecalciferol (“1-alpha”) if the kidneys aren’t functioning correctly.

  19. I think (and that is giving a grand benefit of the doubt), social media are afraid to be a cataclyst for something like civil disobedience, for example. Which in itself is very sad. But the rationale is exactly what you ask us to think about and my conclusion is all media and governments in general seem to think citizens are very ill equipped to think for themselves or do "the right thing", basically that they are stupid, primitive elements who will drink bleach or eat toilet paper to prevent a viral disease. And while some people have done that, treating the whole of society as if they would do that is an insult.

  20. Thank you so much for your work. Are you going to make a video on WHO pausing trials for hydroxychloroquine? And an analysis of how they performed the trials?
