Great video. Really informative, and I was really impressed with the vaccine programme that he started.
Thank you, it’s truly inspiring to hear his story. I’m so glad you enjoyed it. Appreciate the comment Dr. Oliver! 🙌
Why is "save" disabled for this video? I really want to keep this one on my health playlist.
Hello, I’m not sure why this would be. I haven’t done anything on my end to disable this. Will look into it. Thank you for letting me know.
It just worked for me, I had to slide the other options to the left and it was the option all the way to the right.
38:00 I am 41 and live in the UK and Spain. In both countries, the guidelines say under 65s or 60s cannot request COVID vaccination unless immunosuppressed etc. but can get the Flu one. In practice, I turned up at a medical centre in Spain and got both in one go without being asked further questions. They said they had finished vaccinating the vulnerable a month before, so vaccines were just available. I am not sure it would have been the same in the UK.
The Friendly Pharmacy? Hahahaha... How much money do you make per dose administered?
$0.00 Thanks for asking.
@@FriendlyPharmacy5 Im not sure why you bothered responding... You're in the medical industry... It's just assumed that your a bald faced liar. There will be retribution.
Watch the movie "They Live 1988". Obey and take the jab (poison) for the aliens...
