0:00.0 | My guest today is Dr. Paul Alexander PhD as an expertise in epidemiology and teaching epidemiology |
0:07.3 | to former assistant professor at McMaster University in evidence based medicine. He's a former |
0:14.5 | COVID pandemic evidence based synthesizer evidence synthesis advisor to the WHO in Washington |
0:23.1 | DC and a former senior advisor to the COVID pandemic policy in the US government HHS. He worked |
0:30.5 | and was appointed in 2008 at WHO as a regional specialist epidemiologist in Europe's regional |
0:38.1 | office in Denmark and he worked also for the WHO in Russia, Turkey, Ukraine and Poland. He's worked |
0:47.6 | as a government epidemiologist for Canada for the past 12 years and he also has worked on TV control |
0:58.2 | and infectious disease control across Asia, Sri Lankan, Nepal, Pakistan and all over the world here. |
1:05.5 | You have an extraordinary CV curriculum of VTi. I invite you on here because you wrote an extraordinary |
1:14.9 | article in October, I think it was October 28, 2021 at Brownstone Institute and to me it's the |

2:01.4 | life. When I was reading this article that you wrote the power of it was really just incredible |
2:08.4 | because all of what it is, a very clear statement of what we do know and we don't know about vaccines |
2:14.6 | and without any prejudice, without any bias from one side of the other. But in the end it's a very |
2:20.7 | devastating picture of this vaccine. You don't say that it causes antibody and an enhancement |
2:28.8 | because we do not, or at least when you wrote this, we did not have that evidence. It's just a very good |
2:34.8 | summary of the best studies that are out there on vaccine efficacy. And I know that you wrote |
2:41.7 | this in part because there were lawyers all over the country and I know that you work with |
