Not the prettiest presentation I’ve seen, but loved the content. I’m sure you’ll get the hang of the tech the more you use it.

Keep going with it, it was awesome. 👍

You managed to keep it entertaining as well as informative.👍

“Going the full Maajid Nawaz” and some of your other one liners cracked me up.

Agreed, I listened in from Germany (way past my bedtime!) for a while. I felt like an in advance agreed upon loose itinerary might have been helpful. And I really wanted to hear more from Joomi!

Did you guys end up discussing dosage? I feel this is a huge aspect getting little coverage. I saw a Dr John Campbell interview with an Australian immunologist who pointed out some basic Immunology 101:

The problem with the messenger RNA vaccines is that you have no control over the amount of antigen that's being presented to the body's immune system. And if many of the people watching this have done Immunology 101 and probably the first thing that was shown was a curve showing the response, the immune response - and remember that's what we're looking for with a vaccine, is to get a good immune response. It depends on the amount of antigen and you get this bell-shaped curve where you have at the beginning very small amounts of antigen, and you get tolerance, you get turn off. Then you get a good response, and then it goes down again. And so the amount of antigen being presented to get an appropriate effective, protective, immune response is critical. And that's been sorted out with the old vaccines because we work out how much antigen you need to put in because it's not going to change, it's not going to go up or down - which it will with the genetic vaccines. So we have no idea now."
