Covid-19 vaccination – yes or no? Dr Duncan Carmichael answers

Loading player...
The subject of Covid-19 vaccination has become so acutely sensitive that media publications which have published articles which simply explore its efficacy have been slammed for irresponsible journalism. Professionals from all over the world – both medical and otherwise – have understandably been drawn to the subject, with many offering their own contributions to assist the public in understanding the benefits and risks of Covid-19 vaccination. Dr Duncan Carmichael is a BizNews community member who decided to write his own article on the topic after reading a ‘disappointingly one-sided’ article about the Covid-19 vaccine rollout which asserts that we should all get vaccinated. Dr Carmichael – who is the author of Younger for Longer – addresses the very real concerns that many of us have had regarding the Covid-19 vaccine and its speedy delivery to the market. As a medical doctor, he has had to field questions from many of his patients on whether or not they should get the vaccine. While he does not believe in vaccine passports or mandatory Covid-19 vaccination, his answer to this question is yes. In this interview, Dr Carmichael discusses Covid-19 vaccination as well as alternative treatment to assist the immune system. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
