Many questions addressed on this last episode of 2021!

Should people who talk about COVID policy actually see COVID patients, and are doctors biased by their daily practice experience?

How should holiday meals "safely" occur, and how can we understand risk and risk reduction?

Are Vinay and Zubin wrong about the response around college students and COVID?

Did Francis Collins try to discredit "fringe epidemiologist" Jay Bhattacharya and his colleagues instead of promoting dialog?

Why is Dr. Z so sick of talking about COVID?

Is Omicron milder than prior strains?

Is myocarditis from vaccines in young men more common than myocarditis from natural COVID infection?

Here's the UK myocarditis preprint that Vinay referenced.
