IMPORTANT TO HEAR FROM A DOCTOR WHO HAS SEEN SOME OF THE WORST CASES AND HAS ALSO
SEEN SOME TIME WITH THE
VACCINE. AND SO I SPOKE WITH
DOCTOR EDUARDO OLIVEIRA FROM
ADVENTHEALTH.
>> CANDACE: AND WE HAVE MORE
INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT HE’S
BEEN DOING. OUR WEBSITE.
CLICKORLANDO DOT COM BUT HE IS
THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF
CRITICAL CARE THERE. HE DOES
WORK IN ICU. AND UNFORTUNATELY
THAT MEANS HE’S SEEN MANY
PEOPLE DIE FROM COVID-19 OR
HAVE VERY SERIOUS CONDITIONS
AND COMPLICATIONS. SO WHEN IT
COMES TO THE VACCINE, HE SAYS
HE’S A FIRM BELIEVER IN IT,
BUT HE UNDERSTANDS THERE ARE A
FEW MAJOR CONCERNS THAT PEOPLE
HAVE.
>> IT STARTS FIRST. IT’S A NEW
VACCINE. PEOPLE CLAIM THAT
ORDER WAS THERE PLAYING. WELL,
WE DON’T KNOW FOR SURE THAT
LONG-TERM SIDE EFFECTS WITH
THE LONG-TERM PROBLEMS, WITH
THE VACCINATION. WELL, WITH
THIS SPECIFIC VACCINE. SO
THAT’S ONE OF THE CONCERNS
ISSUE ARE YOU START TALKING
ABOUT GENETICS OR DNA PEOPLE
GET G IS GOING TO AFFECT MY MY
IS GOING TO AFFECT MY RESPOND.
YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU GO INTO THE
CONSPIRACY THEORIES OR, YOU
>> IN IT’S IT’S IT’S CONTROL.
IT’S ABOUT THIS IS A FREE
COUNTRY OR I DON’T WANT BE
TOLD WHAT TO DO HAVE SOMETHING
THAT I THINK IT.
>> IS POLITICS DEFINITELY DOES
NOT NEVER MAKES US VERY WELL
WITH SCIENCE. THIS IS
SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE
SQUARE WHERE. IT SEEMS THERE
IS MORE DOES BELIEVE IF YOU
ARE ONE SIDE OF THE AISLE
SCHOOL.
>> THAT’S SOMETHING THAT I
THINK NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED
BECAUSE STILL. YOU KNOW, WE
GOT HIS WAY TO SIT ON THAT
SPECTRUM. WE WANT EVERYONE TO
SIT.
>> AND WE KNOW THAT WHEN IT
COMES TO GETTING VACCINATED.
WE DO KNOW THAT MORE WHITE
PEOPLE ARE GETTING THE SHOTS
THAN PEOPLE WHO ARE HISPANIC
OR AFRICAN-AMERICAN AND
DOCTOR. ALL OF SAYS A LOT OF
THE HESITANCY COMES DOWN TO
MISINFORMATION.
>> YOU. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE
DIFFERENT IT’S JUST HOW YOU
COMMUNICATE IS JUST CAN YOU
GET. CAN YOU COMMUNICATE IN
THE WAY THAT THEY TRULY OF THE
STATE. BECAUSE THERE’S SO MUCH
THE WAY THAT THEY TRULY OF THE
STATE. BECAUSE THERE’S SO MUCH eligible patients pay NOISE OUT THERE AND SOCIAL
MEDIA. VERY EASY TO GRASP TO A
CONSPIRACY OR YOU KNOW,
MISGUIDED INFORMATION BECAUSE
IT IT COMES TO YOU THE WAY YOU
WANT TO STAND. SO OR SO HE
COMES TO BEER SOCIAL MEDIA. IT
COMES TO THEIR PLACE OF OF
DEBATE AND DISCUSSION. SO WE
HAVE TO BE ON THOSE PLACES. I
THINK THAT’S THE MAIN ISSUE.
>> CANDACE: AND WE WANT TO
DIVE INTO THAT A LITTLE
FURTHER, HE SAYS FOR THE BLACK
COMMUNITY. THERE’S A LOT OF
MISTRUST, SOME OF IT DATES
BACK TO THE SO-CALLED TUSKEGEE
STUDY. WE’RE MORE THAN 600
BLACK MEN WERE LIED TO AND
TOLD THEY WERE BEING TREATED
FOR SYPHILIS, BUT WE’RE NOT
DOCTOR OLIVER SAYS THE KEY
WITH THE COVID VACCINE IS
TRANSPARENCY.
>> I THINK THERE ARE AT LEAST
ORACLE FACTORS AMERICAN
POPULATION DISENFRANCHISE FROM
HEALTH CARE PERSPECTIVE.
MISUNDERSTOOD IN MANY AND IN
MANY WAYS MISLED, I THINK THAT
WE HAVE TO WALK BACK THIS PAST
FALL TELLING THE IT SURE THAT
WE’RE PUTTING TRUST MAKING
SURE THAT WE KNOW THAT WE
DON’T KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT
THIS VACCINATION THAT’S
SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE TO CALL
IN AND WE DON’T HAVE THE
LONG-TERM SAFETY DATA. WE ALSO
HAVE TO TELL THAT. YOU KNOW,
WE KNOW WHAT COVID US TODAY
AND IT KILLS PEOPLE TODAY AND
WE HAVE TO MAKE THAT DECISION
ON RISK BENEFIT RATIO
DEFINITELY THERE ARE MUCH MORE
BENEFITS THAN THERE ARE RISKS
WHEN YOU CONSIDER.
>> CANDACE: SO IF YOU’RE A
DOCTOR OR HEALTH CARE WORKER
OR SOMEONE THAT WANTS THE
FRIENDS AND FAMILY IN YOUR
LIFE WHO ARE UNSURE ABOUT
GETTING THE SHOT TO GET
VACCINATED. DOCTOR OLIVER SAYS
THE BEST WAY TO GET YOUR POINT
ACROSS AS NOT TO DEBATE OR
LECTURE. IT’S TO TALK WITH
SOMEONE AND NOT AT THEM.
>> WE NEED TO.
>> FROM A BETTER COMMUNITY
PERSPECTIVE AND FROM A
GOVERNMENT PERSPECTIVE, WE
NEED TO FIND WAYS TO
COMMUNICATE, BETTER. INDEED
MORE AS WE DISCUSSED BEFORE
TALKING TO PEOPLE, NOT AT
PEOPLE NOT BLAMING FOLKS.
WE’RE NOT GETTING VACCINATED
THAT CREATE DEFENSIVE
MECHANISMS THAT WOULD NOT BE
HELPFUL. IN NUMBER 2 FROM
SOCIETAL PERSPECTIVE IN A
COMMUNITY PERSPECTIVE. LET’S
HELP EACH OTHER UNDERSTAND YOU
MAY KNOW ON. FINGERPOINTING
WAY. THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT THE
VACCINE IS USEFUL. IT’S GOING
TO ALLOW US TO GO BACK TO
NORMAL GIVE THEIR EXAMPLES.
YOU KNOW, JUST JUST JUST
EXPLAIN HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT
THEM TO THE PROCESS.
>> CANDACE: AND FINALLY, YES,
DOCTOR, ALL OF SAYS THERE ARE
THINGS ABOUT THE VACCINE. WE
DON’T KNOW YET, BUT WE DO KNOW
IS THAT THE BENEFITS GREATLY
OUTWEIGH THE RISK.
>> IF YOU LOOK AT OF DRUGS
THAT WE UTILIZE TODAY IN THIS
KIND OF INTEREST RATE. SO WE
USE A LOT OF MEDICATIONS, A
LOT OF DRUGS, A LOT OF
TREATMENTS. AND IF YOU
ACTUALLY LOOK AT THE NUMBER OF
PATIENTS THAT WHICH THOSE
FROZEN BEING STATED. IF WE
CONSIDER THEM VERY SAY IT’S A
FRACTION OF HOW MANY PATIENTS
ACTUALLY HAVE BEEN VACCINATED.
SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE SAFETY
PROFILE OF THE THIS IS THE
DREAM SCENARIO OF ANY
PHARMACEUTICAL YOU KNOW,
DEVELOP, RIGHT. YOU HAVE IF
NOT BILLIONS OF PATIENTS THAT
HAVE BEEN VACCINATED ANY WHEN
YOU LOOK AT THE REPORTS OF OF
EVENTS. IT’S IT’S A TINY
FRACTION OF IT. SO I WOULD SAY
THAT, YES, I UNDERSTAND THOSE
CONCERNS THERE ARE SOME THINGS
THAT WE’VE GOT TO PAY WE DON’T
KNOW. YOU KNOW WHAT THOSE
REACTIONS MIGHT BE. SO WE NEED
MORE DATA. AND I THINK THAT
THE ROLE OF THE SCIENTIFIC
COMMUNITY IS TO BE TRANSPARENT
ABOUT THE DATA AS SOON AS THAT
DATA BECOMES AVAILABLE. SO IN
CONTINUE TO INVESTIGATE AND
STUDY. SO WHAT WE DO THAT AND
MORE PATIENTS ARE GOING TO BE
CALM.
>> IT’S REALLY A FASCINATING I
HOPE THAT YOU GOT SOMETHING
OUT OF THAT. YOU’D LIKE TO GET
INVOLVED WITH ME. MORE TODAY
DURING OUR VACCINE COVERAGE.
I’M GOING TO BE CHATTING WITH
