Pandemic of The Untreated: In Washington We Don't Trust In this episode of The Scalpel, Dr. Rose explains the importance of "control groups" in medical research. Now, with very well-established treatments for the virus, we ask the question: "Why are we not proactively treating Covid 19?" This chicken vaccine makes its virus more dangerous Imperfect Vaccination Can Enhance the Transmission of Highly Virulent Pathogens Imperfect Vaccination Can Enhance the Transmission of Highly Virulent Pathogens 'Leaky' Vaccines Can Produce Stronger Versions of Viruses
