BRUCE JEN.
>>JENNIFER WAUGH: THANK YOU
LENA, SOME EXPERTS ARE
COMPARING THE RISE OF NEW
COVID-19 VARIANCE TO A CATEGORY
5 HURRICANE LINGERING JUST OFF
THE COAST. PLUS THE CDC RECENTLY RELEASED NEW GUIDELINES THAT SAY FULLY
VACCINATED PEOPLE WHOM MEET
CERTAIN CRITERIA WILL NO LONGER
BE REQUIRED TO QUARANTINE
FOLLOWING EXPOSURE TO SOMEONE
WITH
COVID-19 DOCTOR OZ JOINS US
LIVE VIA ZOOM THIS MORNING WITH
MORE DETAILS ABOUT THESE
STORIES AND MORE GOOD MORNING,
THANKS FOR BEING WITH US.
>> GOOD MORNING
TO YOU THIS CATEGORY 5
HURRICANE CONCEPT IS A LITTLE
SCARY BUT I HAD SANJAY GUPTA
COME TALK TO ME OVER THE
WEEKEND GOING TO SEE A SHOW
TODAY AND I ACTUALLY THINK THAT
ALTHOUGH WE HAVE COVID VARIANCE
IN THE UNITED KINGDOM, BRAZIL
AND SOUTH AFRICA THAT ARE
RAISING CONCERNS IN FLORIDA
ACTUALLY THERE’S A FAIR NUMBER
OF
UK CASES. THE VACCINE DOES SEEM
TO WORK AGAINST THEM SO I’M NOT
QUITE AS PANICKED AS SOME OF US
HAVE MADE
IT SEEM.
>>JENNIFER WAUGH: WHICH IS
CERTAINLY ENCOURAGING IT’S
INTERESTING BECAUSE DURING YOUR
CONVERSATION WITH
DOCTOR GUPTA YOU ALSO LEARN
MORE ABOUT A LINGERING
NEUROLOGICAL SYMPTOMS THAT ARE
ASSOCIATED WITH COVID PATIENTS.
>> ABOUT A 3RD OF PEOPLE WHO’VE HAD COVID IN THAT THEY WEREN’T THAT SICK HAD SETTLED THEIR
LOGIC ISSUES WILL
FOGGINESS NOT QUITE THAT HE IS
A BIG SYMPTOM
AND THEY CAN LAST 6 MONTHS SO
PART OF THE GOAL HERE IS TO
TALK ABOUT WHAT YOU CAN DO TO
KEEP YOUR BRAIN HEALTHY.
A BIG PART OF THAT GOT THE
COVID STORY THAT HAS NOT BEEN
DISCUSSED IS IF YOU’RE HEALTHY
WHEN YOU GET COVID YOU DO MUCH
MUCH BETTER SO FOR EXAMPLE YOU
THINK OF ALZHEIMER’S AS
BASICALLY DIABETES OF THE BRAIN
80 YOU CAN DO
SLASHING SUGAR HYDRATING WHICH
20%, THE BLOOD GOES THE BRAIN
OMEGA 3 FATS ALL THESE ARE
HUGELY BENEFICIAL PROTECTING
THE BRAIN SO IF YOU DO GET
COVID YOU’LL COPE WITH IT MORE
EFFECTIVELY WE BELIEVE IT’S
HARD TO PROVE THESE THINGS ARE
RANDOMIZED TRIALS. WE’RE STILL
WORKING ON VACCINES. BUT
THIS IS WHAT THE BEST OF THE
MINDS IN THIS AREA BELIEVE AND
I AGREE
WITH SANJAY.
>>JENNIFER WAUGH: SO WE WE
FIRST LEARNED ALSO LAST WEEK
AND WENT UP IN JUST A MINUTE
THAT THAT FULLY VACCINATED
PEOPLE MAY BE ABLE TO SKIP
COVID QUARANTINE BUT THAT THEY
HAVE TO MEET 3 CRITERIA WOULD
YOU EXPLAIN THOSE.
>>VIC MICOLUCCI: WELL THE BASIC STORY IS IF IT’S WITHIN 3 MONTHS OF YOUR VACCINE, YOU’RE
ALMOST CERTAINLY PROTECTED, I
BET YOU IT’S FOR A YEAR, BUT WE
ONLY HAVE 3 MONTHS OF DATA.
YOU NEED TO HAVE GOT YOUR
SECOND DOSE NEEDS TO BE 2 WEEKS
PASTOR, SECOND DOSE YOU HAD
ENOUGH TIME FOR YOUR BODY TO
MAKE ANTIBODIES I’M ACTUALLY
ENCOURAGED THAT THE CDC SAID
THIS BECAUSE UNTIL NOW I WOULD
TELL PEOPLE GET VACCINATED AND
THEY SO WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT
MAKE I GET BACK SAID NOTHING
CHANGES. WELL BESIDES REDUCING
THE CHANCE OF SEVERE ILLNESS
BY CLOSE TO 100%. THAT’S
SHOCKING RIGHT ALMOST NOBODY.
HAD SEVERE ILLNESS IF THEY WERE
VACCINATED IN LARGE TRIALS.
YOU ALSO GET THE BENEFIT NOW
NOT HAVING TO QUARANTINE YOU
GET EXPOSED. I DO BELIEVE OVER
TIME WE HAVE NEW DATA NOW
SHOWING THAT KID THAT PEOPLE
GET INFECTED LESS AND THEREFORE
THEY’LL PASS A LESS
SO I MEAN THAT YOU ACTUALLY CAN
MAYBE DO THINGS THAT OTHERS
COULDN’T DO WE JUST NEED TO GET
ENOUGH PEOPLE VACCINATED FOR
ENOUGH TIME THEY CAN ACTUALLY
STUDY
THESE OUTCOMES.
>>JENNIFER WAUGH: AND THEN OF
COURSE IF FOR SOME REASON AFTER
YOU’VE BEEN VACCINATED FOR SOME
REASON YOU START TO SHOW
SYMPTOMS YOU STILL DO NEED
TO QUARANTINE BUT BUT OVERALL
GIVEN THE SUCCESS THAT WE HAVE
HEARD FROM THE PFIZER MODERNA
DRUGS YOU KNOW PERHAPS THAT
WILL NOT BE THE CASE IN TERMS
OF THEM SHOWING ANY SYMPTOMS.
I JUST WANT TO ASK BECAUSE I
THINK THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT
DOCTOR EYES. THERE IS THIS THEORY I THINK AMONG THOSE WERE VACCINATED WHERE THEY FEEL THAT
THEY STILL DON’T NEED TO FOLLOW
CDC GUIDELINES THAT THEY DON’T
NEED TO WEAR MASKS.
WE DON’T NEED TO SOCIALLY
DISTANCE. WHAT IS YOUR MESSAGE
TO THEM.
>> WE DON’T KNOW ENOUGH
ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS AFTER
VACCINATION TO CUT TO TAKE A
GUARD DOWN AND WE’VE GOT A
WONDERFUL TRAJECTORY NOW WITH
DRAMATIC REDUCTIONS IN CASES
AND DEATHS ACROSS THE COUNTRY
JUST KEEP FOCUSED ON THIS LET’S
GET PAST THE NEXT 2 MONTHS OR
SO WHERE WE CAN GET MAYBE A
100 MILLION AMERICANS
VACCINATED GET INTO WARMER
WEATHER. SO IT’S EASIER FOR
PEOPLE TO STAY OUTDOORS
AND ACTUALLY WE’VE GOT A PRETTY
GOOD CHANCE OF HAVING A REALLY
NORMAL SUMMER, ESPECIALLY AS
CDC, IT’S COMFORTABLE THAT
VACCINATION DOES IN FACT
REDUCE INFECTIONS THAT WOULD
GIVE US THE COMFORT THAT IF
YOU’RE WITH SOMEONE ELSE HAS
BEEN VACCINATED YOU CAN BOTH
TAKE MASKS OFF NOT TILL
THEN THOUGH.
>>JENNIFER WAUGH: WE’RE NOT
THERE YET BUT WE’RE CERTAINLY
HOPING THAT WILL BE THERE SOON
DOCTOR ROSS THANKS FOR YOUR
TIME THIS MORNING.
SO DON’T FORGET WE WANT YOU TO
