This week Tim flies solo. May is gone so Tim has lost his wingman or wing woman (for political correctness).\xa0 Tim interviews Dr Paul Alexander, former member of the US Covid Task Force and advisor to the WHO, among many other roles. He has a PhD in evidenced based medicine and quotes studies faster than most of us can breathe. Paul makes a very compelling evidence \xa0based argument that children should be treated as \u201calready being vaccinated\u201d. We dive deep into the data on children and covid, vaccine efficacy and what the vaccine has accomplished to this point.\xa0 It was an honor to interview Dr Alexander again and dig into the data. You can taste his passion for protecting children and getting life back to normal. We even get a hint of what it was like to work as an insider in DC at the beginning of the pandemic.\xa0 Sponsor: Our sponsor this week is Weatherby!\xa0 Perfect timing to head to\xa0 www.financialresidency.com/weatherby\xa0for a streamlined locum tenens experience.
