Summary

Under a recent New York Times headline “Should You Get Another Covid Booster?” infectious diseases expert Dr. Celine Gounder says “I think it’s reasonable to boost immunocompromised people and people in nursing homes every six months. I do not think that annual boosters for everyone makes sense.” “Even the New York Times can’t hide reality about the mRNA jabs forever,” responded Alex Berenson. Alex Berenson covered the drug industry as a reporter for the New York Times. He is an Edgar Award–winning writer of bestselling thrillers, and a freelance journalist. His book “Pandemia: How Coronavirus Hysteria Took Over Our Government, Rights, and Lives” is his own investigation into the pandemic. In it, he asserts that our response to it “has been an epic overreaction driven by a disastrous confluence of public and private interests – all of them purporting to ‘follow the science.’” Follow him at https://alexberenson.com and https://alexberenson.substack.com In 2021, Alex Berenson was suspended by Twitter for “misinformation.” So he sued the platform… and WON. In 2022, after a yearlong suspension, his account was reinstated. He returns to Ask Dr. Drew LIVE to discuss Big Tech censorship, mRNA vaccines & attempts to silence debate over controversial health topics. 「 SPONSORED BY 」 • THE WELLNESS COMPANY - Counteract harmful spike proteins with TWC's Signature Series Spike Support Formula containing nattokinase and selenium.
