Last few weeks? I've been done with it for the last year

Somebody correct Neil about its origin

When Neil said Star Treck I was a bit confised, but then again I’ve never seen that show so I just assumed it was part of it. I had only heard it on Futurama!

@@IntricateUniverse25 I've watched Star Trek a lot and I've never heard it mentioned there. But my memory isn't the greatest.

I am LURR from the planet Omicron Persei 8!!

Yeah, never saw Star Trek. I assumed Omicron Persei-8 was in Star Trek that Futurama also used as a nod to other sci-fi; which they did often. 🤔🤷‍♂️

Regeneron, the only pharma stock I own. This guy and his company are a breed apart.

Yeah!

You think this wasn't dumbed down. That's cute.

@@GP-qb9hiSo which part of this need more complexity?

That’s the definition of dumbing it down

Pretty awesome! Now you can keep catching monster bass

Where did you get it ?

@@Q_QQ_Q In an emergency in South Texas. It was prescribed by my doctor. I have various underlying issues.

@@egar4767 for covid ?

There is nothing science about this. Neil is a big time shill

OMG HES A HUGE DECEIVER ALSO IN HIS BALL SPINNINGH GLOBE LIES IS WHAT HE DOES

Neil Tyson is the Jussie Smollett of science. Just another bad actor and deceiver.

Wow the hate is real. Wouldn't be surprised if there was a racial motivate behind some of these comments

It's important to know, that although you may feel very ill, and there is a scary pandemic, you should never go to the hospital unless you want to die.

GARBAGE

without comparing, the WHO doing it's job, and of course it's not enough we all should work together

deeper level? I agree yes....the flu didnt have the same power as covid did to shut down societies and the globe...?? no, in fact neither of them have that power do they? I mean correct me if i am wrong but was it not men in government and health organisations and scientists and billionaires and ceo's who shut down the world and humanity as we knew it?

@@kimmichelangenhovenlagorce306 The reaction to it is equivalent with reaction to the risk of being exposed to serious nuclear radiation- where people could die within the hour. Wearing suits & helmets- while people commuting by public transportation are told to wear masks if they are standing up - but are welcome to take the masks off if they are sitting down. (Covid-restrictions in July) . It makes NO sense. Any doctors with their sanity intact- would consider the restrictions when using public - supposed to protect us from catching an AIRBORNE virus ~a complete joke. All the time gut feeling's been that there is something wrong- definitely strange about the navigation of this pandemic. And it is as if the authorities are playing "Simon says" with our people making most Danes frustrated . Its a highly dangerous power they've got going worldwide- bossing people around as if they have the ultimate power to do so. Conspiracy or not. Something is wrong. I just can't prove it. Have not been tested because they also take your DNA . In Denmark - by law - you need a warrant to do so without your consent. So I just wont be forced to give my DNA - because 1. Its illegal . 2. It costs a fortune- so why now? 3. I see no medical relevance for it concerning a virus. 4. Human Rights are vital for a healthy survival of mankind . Dictatorship has always led to ruination of any human societies. If they asked me to freely contribute DNA telling me what it's for- respecting my right to say no, it would be no problem. Denmark has been functioning as a solid democracy since the Vikings. It is a VERY alarming symptom- we suddenly experience being dictated & bossed around- restrictions changing constantly- much of it , like masks on or off while standing or sitting in public transportation ~ then when you see a new mutation ~ another vaccine needed.. Just k n o w something is wrong . Hardest part in this old country is to keep obeying the rules because its getting really hard to take it seriously. Number of people dying in DK has never been this low. However. The number of people dying from commiting suicide has rocketed. It's not about avoiding sickness and death ~ it's a part of Nature. Suicide isn't. We have a right to LIVE while we are here. Thinking authorities can control the course of nature this vigorously worldwide is madness - and a threat to all life on this planet- that might find a way to get RID of our species. Nature has this programming already. Point. Yes to sensible behaviour around an epidemic. No to dictatorship & ignorance. We are as species not entitled to exist on Earth. So step 1 has got to be World Peace- and helping to heal our mental health our world and chance to visit an incredible Planet. This one. 🌍💫

@@jozeepowl9828 dude you leave your DNA everywhere you go If your not in fullbody hazsuit... Whats all that giberisch your uttering?

Mr Neil. Question. There was alot of talk about the immuno-compromised. And in connection to them, the idea if repeated immunizations going forward. Wouldn't that only refer to a small demographic? Because as I understand it, most people's passive and active immune systems are working...the only time i know of when someone can be truly imuno-compromised is if one has A.I.D.S.! To my ears it seems as if, this is a convoluted way of convincing people to rely upon an artificial immune system. 🤔 correct me if I'm wrong. Because if that's what the man was saying, I wouldn't be okay with that.

There is a huge contradiction by George however George "This is why everyone gets through covid with their natural immune system" Also George "This is why Vaccines are good" Vaccines are NOT natural immune systems, and whilst I'm not as experienced as George on that specifically, I would definitely challenge him on that because I am certain the vaccines whilst in the past have been useful, in this case are complete nonsense.

*Persei 8*

Futurama ftw!

Chuck didn't even want to waste time correcting him lol

Its the first thing that popped up in my head when I heard omicron

@@Psyborgasm omg your subbed to prof my G 👊😎

I agree but I realised looking at the comments, I live in a bubble. Unfortunately, this information doesn’t reach the ear that needs it most.

18mins to 18: 30 secs.

Basic stuff, unfortunately most Americans never learned science, math, biology etc. They shut down when you try to explain immunology, virology or infectious disease. I have lost all empathy for the covidiots we are surrounded with.

M. Serry.. Its amazing that the USA is leading everyone with corona deaths when they are the leading science on this? India Japan Indonesia Bangladesh Qatar all using ivermectin has less corona than Germany... Make me wonder about our science? It just doesn't make any sense... Sorry!

Simple Question: If Every attempt of scientists to transfer so-called v!ral illnesses from sick people to healthy people has completely Failed, and if scientists have never once been able to find or even see these "v ! r uses" in someone's bodily fluid, then on what basis do they have any Real Evidence to validate what they claim?

He's making untold profits from this. though I don't think he's as evil as those bandits at pfizer, moderna, j&j (look up their history of lawsuits and crooked behavoir) .. but he is basically using similar fear tactics as your precious lying cnn and nbc. you honestly think you can trust them? lol

Being the smartest in guy in the class doesn't necessarily make you smarter. Some people can learn to pass exams without fully grasping everything, and vice versa.

@@ashnakamura2411 You're right. However in my experience usually you need both, in terms of being maximally intelligent. Everyone in college I knew that was professor bound easily got 100s on every exam, but ALSO knew every concept inside and out. Some kids got 100s but didn't know how to explain concepts. Others could explain concepts but tested poorly. Both could be considered "smart", but the true geniuses are aces of both. Doesn't mean you cannot be financially successful or invent something if you're a bad test taker. But being a genius typically means just that. You're gifted. Tests are stressful, but they measure your understanding of concepts. Some tests do a bad job of that. But if you're smart enough and know the material well enough, you'll still ace the test.

@@caseydorn3309 Not necessarily, though I would agree being smart and knowing material are essential to acing most tests given at higher levels in education. Don't forget that some people may still may need to get over poor habits and scheduling such as some basic sleep situations before testing or grow out of emotional or psychological issues to have that kind of eventual success, sometimes with the patient help of time or professional assistance. Also, it used to be thought that IQ cannot be improved, but that is false. Also, cultural background can also be overcome by learning another, sometimes through immersion into it and with time, to suit biased testing. People should never give up if once struggling to get good grades. They may still be smart and knowledgable but finally figure out how to take tests with more confidence to ace them later and still pursue whatever dreams they wish to follow. I know because it happened to me.

I just want him to teach me some wrestling stuff Physics ain’t going to work with me

That's because the government lies to you 100% of the time, about 100% of the topics they discuss. Stick with that rule and you'll do better in life.

@@mattphillips1910 Only in the way that schools lie to early schoolchildren about the sciences. Some people are just not prepared to take in information like this - or even want to.

THIS IS THE WAY FAUZHEET SHOULD TALK.

Your name sounds like a medical prescription. You're believable with that😊

Watch the most recent Rogan podcast, amazing information. Nothing better than getting information from doctors who actually deal with real data.

COVID-19 “Science” Questions ? How did computer geek Bill Gates become the world health czar, who decided every person on the planet must be “vaccinated” and be given a unique identification number? Did Dr. Anthony Fauci write an article printed in the Washington Post during 2011 which advocated for “Gain-of-Function” research in viruses? Did Fauci say it was a risk worth taking? Did Dr. Ralph Baric at UNC Chapel Hill perform “Gain-of-Function” research on Corona viruses? Why did N.C. Governor Roy Cooper tell pharmacists not to fill prescriptions for Hydroxychloroquine, even though it was prescribed by medical doctors in that state? Did this order lead to any deaths? If there was no “vaccine” for the 1918 Spanish Influenza virus, how did that pandemic end? Did a recent Israeli study conclude natural immunity produced by recovery from a COVID-19 infection is thirteen times better than that produced by the shots now being promoted in the U.S. ? Are less than 1% of the “vaccine” injuries being recorded by the VAERS system? Are many of those with injuries being ignored? If Dr. Anthony Fauci is the official source of “Science” which is not to be questioned, why did he change his story about the need to wear masks? How much of the Bill of Rights found in the U.S. Constitution has been ignored during the last two years? The answers to many of these questions are found in Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s new book “The Real Anthony Fauci, [Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Heath]

That's a cool perspective. I more associate it with "forced adaptation." So evolution in general.

It's no accident. Evolution is a product of random mutations and a non-random selection process.

Fun fact: the aliveness of viruses is debated. A lot. like a lot a lot.

yes! we need to stop using Euphemisms for the word evolution so Americans can stop being shocked and appalled when they hear it lol

If you ask me the biggest virus threat to humanity in the world is individual natural intelligence being scorned at every level if it questions anything Big Science claims as 100 percent fact. Very few people are strong enough to stand firm in their intelligence and knowledge when they start to feel casted out.

Coronavirus in its different flavors (SARS/MERS) have been around for a long time they just never spread as much as cov19 has

this is considered what is known as a "auto-immune" disease... is that correct? or is that something else all together?

@@ZenRyoku it when your immune system over reacts. It floods the body with white blood shutting down organs, etc… It can happen to anyone.

@@brianw5116 thanks. I was almost right. 😋 aren't there different types of auto immune disorders? or is it just one version with varying intensities?

@@darkstorminc If only the rest of the world had followed mitigation measures of the east Asian countries all along. Its been infuriating to watch this horror all unfold when it was preventable.

yes very valuable the level of humanoid stoopidity "lately" is silencing clear explanation for the few critical thinkers around. neal and chuck should explain the recent Dem efforts in congress. (this comment might be a joke - fyi.. )

One thing that doesn’t make sense in Plague, Inc is if your pathogen evolves a new ability, suddenly every single case now magically inherits that ability instead of having to reinfect everybody all over again. Then there’s Omicron, which suddenly seems to have done the mecha-combiner trick and added all the mutations of everything-but-Delta.

It's true that the game mechanics mutates the already existing virus too which is unrealistic but with COVID, if the next mutation was super deadly I think there would be enough deniers to allow it to spread because of the weaker variants that came first. The denial won't end until it actually happens to them. At that point it's going to be much more difficult to eradicate.

I've played it many years, and the OG browser game it was based on, I feel Plague, Inc should be a game that's required in middle school health classes, young people need to learn the basics of disease spread. It has a new xpac since Covid that is about spread of misinformation. That would be an amazing learning tool for middle schoolers as well.

I loved that game !

@@angusmctwangstick4079Luckily research has shown that in the scenario we're are in with covid, the virus always mutates DOWNWARD just like Omicron

He is a entertainer who is a shrill for the communists HOW THE bleeep can u say not political and also scientific it’s political entertainment

"...for humanity!" Really? I do hope you're joking. Stop worshipping these false "scientists" please ffs. They are nothing more than show(wo)men that have to sell the official narrative to the public, as fake as it may be in most, if not all the cases. Wake up, these "people" have been deceiving us for decades, and even centuries!

This is 1st year immunology with a dash pathophysiology in the USA. It's only high school there if your school curriculum isn't snuffed down by delusional anti-science weirdos on the schoolboard. In Canada, it's grade 11-12 level biology, if you have a passionate teacher. There's some new techno in there too regarding RNA vaccines. Cool stuff indeed, if you like to get small.

So ur one of the slo polks who idolizes this entertainer

@@seetheanimal5867 it’s not entertainment. It’s facts. Clear your head.

@@michaelg6686 he is a dullard and an entertainer… he spoke the leftist party lines were are anti science regarding Corona from the get go. Besides being just an entertainer he became a puppet for the political left (he enjoyed the virtue signaling almost as he enjoys appearing intelligent to people like u” What he says is not just irrelevant in this subject area he should say nothing. Look at the data and it’s easy to see patterns… I suppose for real dumb people he would seem smart… but again that makes him an entertainer for the masses like u.

We'll pass the compliment to Chuck. 😄

Interesting POV. I honestly have the exact opposite experience. I come to watch startalk for the rigor and quality of conversation, not for the laughs. I find the jokes / funny comments distracting, not relieving. I think if the goal is to make the content more approachable for a non-scientific audience, it's Neil's job to do that as a moderator and that won't be solved with a couple of jokes here and there.

@@joshuasakhai6797 Fair point. I can see that. I just think it sometimes makes it feel even more accessible with the humor sprinkled throughout the episodes, at least from my view. It still does not lessen the scientific value of the content, in my view. I do actually enjoy the factual content. :)

The immunization was only to prevent death and serious illness, not to make you immune.

@@silvershadow013 It also prevents you from getting it in the first place so you kinda are. It doesn't just protect against illness and death but also drastically lowers your chances of spreading it to others

@@silvershadow013 That's not the point. The protection from the vaccine doesn't last a full year.

@@MTKRAILROAD You can only spread if you are infected with or without symptoms.

the vaccine has nothing to do with contracting it. That's why the divide and hatred towards those who choose to fight it naturally makes no sense.

Do vaccines work?

It also would be nice to hear if vaccines can cause mutation. In same principle as the need to limit the use of antibiotics because bactiria can adapt to them and eventually creating antibiotic resistant super bugs.

@@bacawaka2813 I doubt you would ever hear it. They will discuss it but it becomes misinformation for youtube when you discus things thats on that list. Censoring scientist.

@bacawaka was thinking the same thing… It would be crazy if it ended up being that vaccines we’re putting people with natural immunity in greater danger

Natural immunity is a misnomer, given what it's based on and how it's defined. As a biomedical engineer that's been studying this type of material for nearly 20 years and recognizes the blatant flaws in virology; One of the questions I get asked a lot is "what proof or process would you regard as being valid in confirming (or otherwise) the existence of v ! r uses" (a.k.a. mythical creatures)? Basically scientists would just need to adhere to the Scientific Method, but that's apparently too much to ask. To hold any validity, scientists would need to actually Isolate & Purify out whatever particles they hypothesize could be v! r uses from a sick person, and then perform proper scientific experiments with them in order to prove that hypothesis true (or not). Ironically, the isolation method I'm about to describe is even written in microbiology text books and universally recognized as the Gold Standard of isolation. Yet virologists never do it: ISOLATION & PURIFICATION They should be taking fluid samples from a diseased person and then filtering through "viral sized" particles to bulk remove larger things from the sample. Then follow that up with density gradient centrifugation; which allows objects in a centrifuge tube to be separated by their density. That process would create separated "bands” (objects of different density) around the centrifuge tube. The suspected v! r us particles (if they existed) could then be extracted from one of those bands - thereby Isolated & Purified from everything else. Just Step-1. CONFIRMATION AND CHARACTERIZATION The suspected particles should be visualized under a microscope to see what they look like and Ensure everything under the scope are the same type of particles. Those objects should be mapped and characterized for their physical structure, size, and genetic makeup. Once scientists have ensured they've captured those unique particles only, they would then need to determine if they are in fact real life v ! r uses. EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES They'd need to use those particles in properly conducted experiments to see if they cause the original disease; using animal/plant/human hosts as test subjects, depending on the hypothesis. They would also need to run at least one equivalent negative control experiment (i.e. a control group) in parallel for comparison. If the hosts that were exposed to the particles become ill with the original disease and the otherwise equally treated control group does not, that would be suggestive of the particles being the cause. However, the basic idea of a v ! r us is that it invades a host, replicates itself via hijacking cells, and then comes out with bodily fluid (sneezes, coughs, etc.) and then goes on to repeat that process in different hosts, which is how it "spreads". So scientists would need to try and confirm that by again isolating & purify out those same particles from the hosts fluid samples. If the particles are discovered again in the exposed sick hosts, but not in the otherwise equally treated control group, then those particles could be said to be something like real life v ! r uses. They'd still need to do further studies to confirm the "hijack cells" theory, but hopefully you get the idea. OBVIOUS FLAWS OF VIROLOGY Virologists can’t just take pictures of something or sequence genetic material or claim symptoms/effects equals proof of a “v ! r us”. They need to FIRST demonstrate that through proper experimentation that follows the scientific method - That approach has never occurred in validating what they claim. It's simply a circular reasoning kind of belief system. Their claims of “we have pictures” is ridiculous because microscopic particles don’t have little name tags on them that say “I’m a v ! rus”. Their claims of genetic sequencing and pcr detection is equally ridiculous because they never separated out a “v ! r us" in the first place to prove that’s the origin of the genetic material. They assume they found a virus by comparing it to genetic “virus templates” that were ALSO “found” the same way. It’s like claiming to have found a unicorn based on genetic material that you believe has a genetic similarity to that of a previous unicorn, yet no one ever found an ACTUAL Unicorn to get any genetic material in the first place! Their claims of Effects/Symptoms equals an obvious sign of a “v ! r us” is probably the worst one yet. “The burned bodies MUST have been caused by a fire breathing dragon!". Their claims of “cytophathic effects” (i.e. cell destruction) observed in cell cultures equals a “v ! r us” must be the cause of it is really just silly, for reasons that should be obvious. So on and so forth… Just an endless loop of circular reasoning. Thanks for reading. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions.

Bob, wouldn't it be the same thing, but just starting from scratch?

absolutely and I would love to ask some questions too!

So it does what I was tought in 8th grade at a public school. What a way to over explain things with big words

Unless it's a cancer

Omicron symptoms in South Africa are mild because everyone there has antibodies already. They have either already been infected by a previous variant, or they’ve been vaccinated. At 16:00 in Dr. Been’s video it says that in the first 3 waves when the community infection rate reached 26%… ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3yvT3rm9GbE.html This means that the community infection rate exceeded 26% 3 times, which means that over 75% - 80% of the population had Covid already. Then, about 24% have been vaccinated. Over 90% of the population has antibodies. There could be some overlap between those 26% infected during each wave, but given that antibodies are very effective at preventing symptoms, there likely isn’t much overlap. Also in Oslo of the 120 infected at that party and the hotel that hosted it, none became severely ill meaning that the vaccines are very effective at preventing severe disease from Omicron. What we don’t yet know is what happens to the unvaccinated who haven’t been infected and therefore have no antibodies. I’m sure we’ll soon find out.

It was a good discussion but I don't think it was or was intended to be a debate.
