    Dr. Prasad for Sec. of Health and Mr. Ramaswamy for VP. NOW, that's a real win!
  • @idadru
    I've been following Dr. Prasad for a while now. Imagine my surprise to see him as a guest here. Another W for Vivek.

    Ramaswamy and Dr. Prasad...the meeting of the minds has finally happened!

    Two excellent and highly credible people! Good guest choice Vivek!!!! Vinay was one of a very few experts that made sense during Covid years.

    Love Dr. Vinay Prasad and have been following him since I found him here on YouTube during the pandemic and he's not only brilliant, but he was one of the only voices of reason, that they couldn't cancel, even though they tried. If you're a science or medical nerd, his papers and other videos here are a great way to geek out and hyper focus for awhile and trust that you're getting info that's true, not just someone blowing smoke up your rear.

    What a great conversation! As a 4th year medical student I have unfortunately witnessed all of the problems these two gentlemen discussed in the video. It feels like I am in crazy town when I look around and see all the students blindly following every word they here from our school. No one thinks for themselves, or at least wont admit it openly. I was almost kicked out for speaking against the narrative on a couple occasions. It is very true that it can absolutely hurt your reputation and possibly career, which is why when most people are in $500K in debt, they choose to just stay silent. The testing/grades is also true. Medical school is still hard but honestly, college was harder because I had to make sure I got A's in my classes. Now that every test is pass/fail in medical school there is no incentive to dive deeper into the material, I just studied until I knew I would do good enough to pass. Now of course, this will change once I start residency because then its not about passing tests, its about what is best for patients. However, this further highlights the danger of having people who just blindly follow whatever is put out by the FDA, academies, etc because they aren't actually assessing anything for themselves. To the point about patients not viewing doctors in high regard, I think there are many factors, but the main one is the fact that the patients are smarter today then they once were. 40 years ago, there was almost no way for a patient to know anything about medications, treatments, etc and therefore had to rely heavily on the doctor. Now days with the internet, a patient can know just as much as their doctor in a few hours on google and youtube. This makes the doctor, no longer the authority, but rather just a middle man/ gate keeper to what the patient probably already knows they have and what medication they likely need.

    Great choice to have Dr Prasad to have this important discussion. I've been watching him since the pandemic and his messaging has always been solid.
  • @Fitzjani22
    2 powerhouses in one podcast Vinay is the best of the best
  • @rivinesh4566
    Great interview, thanks so much Vivek and Dr. Prasad.
  • @bwalker4194
    Been following Vinay for almost 4 years. Though I wouldn’t say he has been red-pilled, it has been extremely rewarding watching him be de-blue-pilled.
  • @our2kidsMR
    NO WAAAY!! Vivek AND Vinay Prasad!! YESSS!!
  • @alejolabustrojr
    This is the peak of common sense with Intel that can topple the scary managerial corrupt systems. These two are by far the most honest and brave professionals EVER that I heard talk about crucial matters in our socioeconomic and medical systems in this edge of world collapse. I would put Viney like a minister or secretary of health when Vivek becomes 2028 President

    PLEASE bring on Dr. Marty Makary as well!!
