Summary

Jessica Brinkworth returns to Here We Are for her 4th time to give us an update on COVID! We talk about the spread of misinformation, vaccine hesitancy, booster shots, the neurological and cardiac side effects of COVID, the danger in over-exercising while infected with COVID, the new Omicron variant, the naïve guidance from the CDC, and a whole lot more! Jessica is an assistant professor in the department of anthropology at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Her research addresses the physiological consequences of the human experience and evolutionary past, particularly those that affect innate immune system function. Jessica’s current projects focus on the functional divergence and diversification of primate immune systems, how past epidemics affect present day immune function diversity and how life experience affects the innate immune response.

0:00.0	Hello everybody and welcome to the show. I'm thrilled. Sorry, I haven't done a COVID update
0:09.3	show in a while. Also mentioned some of the Vax hesitant clickbait popular podcasts
0:21.4	out there spreading a lot of disinformation. And since that time, Joe Rogan has done another
0:31.0	big episode with Robert Malone, the inventor of all of science himself. If you'd like to
0:42.9	know a little more about the tangled history of the MR and A vaccine, there's an article
0:47.6	in Nature. It's called the tangled history of the MR and A vaccines, which Robert Malone
0:55.0	was one of hundreds of people and is quite openly bitter about not getting the credit he believes
1:06.0	he deserves from some of his thoughts and work on the progress of the MR and A vaccine in 1987.
1:19.6	And, you know, there's a bit of a history of others having progressed other aspects of it in
1:29.2	him not getting cut in and upset about it and found a welcoming platform on the Joe Rogan
1:39.2	experience, which is not a science show. By the way, it's not meant to be. We're both doing the
1:46.2	same thing we've always had. I've been randomly since for eight years now for COVID. I've been
1:55.1	traveling around the world randomly. Oh, I'm here. I look up this university. Oh, sure. Okay,
2:00.6	I booked up here. See what they do. I reach into a mixed bag of science and see what a researcher
2:08.0	does next week. I'm having a butterfly episode, not because I think that there's an overwhelming
2:14.7	desire for people to hear about the science of butterflies. I have nothing in my mind that's
2:22.4	like, whoa, if I put out a butterfly episode, boy, people are going to be clamoring for that.
2:29.2	And I'll get a bunch of clicks and then I'll get to be famous and get a bunch of money because I
2:37.2	did the science of butterflies. I do it because I enjoy learning about this stuff. And I started
2:44.2	this as a hobby. And I've just continued doing what I'm doing. And Joe Rogan's continuing to do
2:49.1	what he did long before COVID, which is to have fringe controversial figures on his show,
