And he's a clinical researcher. He researched this before he actually took it. And that gives me a little bit of confidence in actually taking the vaccine. My concern is that this is made using synthetic RNA. I'm not crazy about that. I would rather it not. It really just kind of directs production in your system. So I got to say, it's not something that I'm really crazy about. But my cousin, Doctor Oster, Nome, who's now on the Biden panel

Phil, thank you so much for your comment. Sounds like you have some insider information to have people so close to you who you trust to give you accurate stuff is I'm sure just valuable. No. But you're right. I mean, at some level injecting synthetic on at some level, at the level injecting synthetic material into your body is something that I think very few people are going to do as willingly as some others

So I go from being excited about, yes, I want the vaccine to maybe I should think about this. Why are people concerned? It's people's concern that concerns me. Like, what am I missing? But then again, hey, people didn't believe in this virus and they go out without their masks and everything. Should I be like, oh, why are people going out without their masks? Maybe I should too. See, that's the thing

But I do get the sense that this is a little bit not out of the scope of human behavior, but this is a little bit like going to the pool and being somewhat timid to dip your toe in when you can clearly see that people are swimming. And that 30,000 number, if that's true, I haven't read that either. But if that's true, that's a lot of people that's a ton of people. So that would reflect some degree of safety

So I think for me, the biggest issue is the fact that this particular vaccine was on trial with a government agency in the United States during a Trump presidency. And while Pfizer says it wasn't part of Operation Warp Speed, and it was an independent thing, just the fact that there was something like this, you know what? It makes no sense. Am I speaking logically right now? Absolutely not. I mean, just totally. You COVID call me out on it

Hi, Shannon. Yeah. What a great point that the trust, or rather the lack of trust in the government extended to one of the government's programs where a company was working, and then that extended to another company that may not have had any anything to do with either the first company or the government. And I get it. I mean, I coined a terminal one of the swells emotional logic, right? Yeah. I think it's logical for our emotional being
