THE VAX-SCENE

Video Transcript:

Music Growth on Twitter Don't be afraid of COVID, don't let it dominate your life Don't let it dominate your life. In terms of responding to a comment like that, it's gross. It's okay to be afraid of COVID, and it's okay that it's dominating your life. Everyone should be afraid of COVID. You should know the truth, and the truth should all set you free. I can't come in, Mom, that it's because of this flu thing. We won't be free of this pandemic until we listen to the acknowledged truth, listen to the scientists. Science is true. You know, science is truth. What is the impact to public health when people are openly questioning the science? Now is the time to do what you're told. By not hearing the truth, by not listening to the scientists, they are prolonging how bad the economy will be. But I see somebody out in the world who's not wearing a mask. I instantly think you are a threat. Or you are selfish. Or you are a COVID denier, and you definitely haven't been vaccinated. You know, we're a mask. What is that? Are you vaccinated? I am a civil doctor. So why are you wearing a mask? Seek out the scientists and listen to their advice. Listen to the scientists. Listen to the scientists. Trust the experts. We're going to trust science. We're going to trust the experts. Parents who say, well, I need to do my own research. Make you think of that cartoon I saw of the tombstone. That said, I did my own research. Republicans have given their voters license to believe whatever they want to believe. I heard somebody saying, listen to the scientists. Do that. Listen to the scientists. That phrase, do your own research. It's popping up a lot in conversations about coronavirus and about COVID vaccines. Do your own research. It seems so innocent, but it can have serious consequences. Renee, what are the roots of this phrase? I feel like I used to hear it around QAnon craziness. I hate somebody over and over and over and over and over. If some jerk exposed my mother to COVID because they didn't want to wear a mask, I would want to kill them. We can watch the experts, but we shouldn't be listening to Trump, a non medical professional. The answer is listen to Bill Gates, Bill Zeriderot about a lot of things and he's the Steve Lerning curve in global health. And we're really seeing just how important it is to follow science. Yes, yes, exactly. And we need to listen to scientists. The idea that people are questioning the science behind the vaccine. The science checks out. Even if you don't believe in the science, you think you're tough enough and you're healthy enough and you're young enough. The scientists were right all along. Eventually the science catches up with you. Are we doing more harm than good by questioning the science behind Jay and Jake? Trust that vaccine. Trust the experts. Listen to the medical experts. Trust the experts. If you don't understand the science, you don't know what you're fighting. Just let the experts speak. So maybe you should just shut up right now. You don't want to take advice from your golf buddy or from your aunt. You want to listen to the scientists. And we all stop saying, I need to do my own research. You see the ultimate effects of what happens when you don't listen to the scientists. This isn't about being scared. This is about scaring us straight. Science, science and science. Only listen to the scientist. Every follow the science. Imagine instead of staying locked up in the room, they're able to hug their grandchildren. This isn't about freedom. It's about freedom for your neighbors. You can give each other hug as long as everyone is fully vaccinated. It's into the scientists like the rest of us. We have to listen to the scientists. We'll listen to the scientists. Every scientist, every expert, listen to the experts. Oh, listen to the science because the science works. Very much. Yeah. I think trust science. You still got those points and dots. But everybody knows dummies can't talk unless, of course, they learn their vocabulary in the twilight zone.
