In part 2 of our current discussion with Cliff Harvey we take a deep dive into the COVID-19 vaccine landscape. As you have already learned, Cliff and I have somewhat opposing views on this element of the pandemic, but have both taken great pride in continuing to remain not only colleagues but friends, and to foster pragmatic and compassionate discussions on what can be a very heated and polarizing topic. We explore our societal contract, continue to discuss Cliff's working hypothesis surrounding long COVID and adverse events, current issues with exemptions, vaccine mandates, and so much more. My hope is that you find this episode to be a breath of fresh air and so helpful leading into Christmas Day and many of the interactions you will have.

In today's episode we are joined by Cliff Harvey to explore the current landscape with regards to COVID-19 – what positive opportunities the last one to two years has provided us, or, alternatively, what the other direction, of fear, has created. We explore the failings of public health, a system that rewards consumerism and materialism and what needs to change to create health, and mostly importantly, happiness. Cliff shares with us some upcoming research, and the hypothesis that specific nutrient deficiencies involved with "long COVID" may also help us understand why some experienced adverse events, and others do not. We also start to explore how a difference of opinion is possible and that two opposing truths may exist at the same time, so please, keep this in mind as you tune in today.
