Dr. Adam Stracher, Weill Cornell Medicine Weill’s Chief Medical Officer and an internal medicine specialist with over 30 years experience in the medical field joins us for an update after the aging down of the Pfizer vaccine to the 5-11 age cohort. He discusses the vaccine’s importance, particularly to stem spread and deaths amidst the holiday season, as well as its safety and efficacy. He discusses the science behind viral mutations alongside ins and outs of how the vaccine works, which will serviced to combat misinformation suggesting the vaccine is contributing to viral mutation, as well as how myocarditis side effect is a far more mild and rare symptom among vaccinated teenage males rather than a symptom ten times more likely--and possibly life-threatening--among those who catch COVID without the immune practice afforded them with the benefit of being safely exposed to a deactivated particle of COVID as occurs through vaccination. Conversation occurred on the precipice of Omicron’s US spread and the returned delay of elective surgeries, among other ramped up protocols, beginning in New York State come the week’s end.
