I didn't fall into the trap of wiping surfaces constantly. I washed my hands after coming in and that was that. COVID wasn't going to magically spring up on my bathroom counter between the time I cleaned it in the morning and the time I went to bed all on its own. I have my cats horses and grandchildren to vhallenge my immune system plenty.
Omg I've been telling my family this for the past year! I feel even more validated hearing this from a doctor. Our immune systems have become idle and weaker since it's had nothing to WORK against fighting off. Thank you so much for making this video!
I was thinking this would be a hot take about vaccines, surprised I fully agreed with you. Reminds us why we embrace getting dirty sometimes. We all need our natural block against those tiny evil death machines
Well I for one live alone, and I don't clean surfaces outside my kitchen until they're so gross I can't stand them, and now I feel vindicated. (And, please do more videos.)
Hi Dr. Blair, great to see you again. I'm vaccinated (employment requirement - I work at a hospital ). I will continue to take precautions this weekend, will be around some people outside. However, during covid, I still walked outside without a mask but socially distanced. I'm sure my immune system has not been challenged as you said. The last thing I want is a severe cold.
Dang. You really called it a year ago. We are seeing some crazy bugs too across all demographics and ages. You’re a brilliant physician. Thanks for doing what you do. 💪🏻
I'm mad at You Tube she not recommended to me anymore. I subscribed to her long ago forgot, was clearing my subs when I rediscovered her. She is an awesome person and Dr. I miss way too many of her vids now I have to back track.
In the 90s doctors already had concerns about the excessive use of "antibacterial" soaps and gels, which were the new fad then. While l do use the gel in shops because it's the rules here in Spain, we have got along fine keeping the 3 Ws: Wear a mask, Wash your hands and Watch your distance!
I haven't used hand sanitizer or disinfectants in my house in years. No bleach, no Lysol. No antibacterial soaps, except for the Palmolive dish soap. I haven't had a cold in 4 years. I do take a super vitamin B complex with vitamin C in it.
Today alone, I saw 3 kids - exactly like you described - TMax 102 for 1 day, now with cough, runny nose - typical URI symptoms. All 3 RSV positive. All 3 ~2 yrs old, all 3 in daycare. We avoided the typical kids back to school crud we see every year bc of masks and folks staying in. People coming out, kids returning to daycare = 3 RSV’s in one day. You are so right. We are going to clean ourselves to death! Germs, in moderation are good. Just don’t alternate Tylenol and Motrin when the kid has a mild 101-102 temp and is ‘acting’ ok. We get fevers to ‘burn up the germs’. If the kid is running around, but is 102, leave him alone. If he’s 101 and miserable, not drinking - give Motrin and call office!
Hey Karen! Good hearing from you! Yes, that’s all we’re seeing in the office now. If it weren’t for the 90 degree weather we’re having I’d think it were December in the midst of cold and flu season!
I don't use chemicals to clean beyond vineager and borax except to wipe can handle, eat probiotics, things in season and raw if possible, avoid antibiotics unless really really need ( rebound, streaks) but am in a community where science was not followed and people aren't getting vaccinated while variants are showing up. I am both vaccinated and where mask when close contact may occur because have MG which can really knock out ability to breathe for no dang good reason. Since I never sero converted after 3 rounds of Hep B vaccine and have 2 rare autoimmune diseases (IBM being the other) this whole mess has been hard to work best approach. Glad you came through ok. Would love to know if you do CK on the kids having to go to hospital and how well they respond. Starting to wonder if myositis might be triggered by some of these novel viruses and want to get good data.... now that am disabled and can't ...
Yeah, this doesn't look good for those that were extra careful. Especially young people. I've never been partially big on antibacterial. And I avoid most groups naturally anyway. Besides not going out to eat. Not a huge amount changed for me. I wear a mask only when necessary. I haven't had a full blown sickness since winter 2019. I did make sure my vitamin D levels were good. (they are) and I added some things to my diet. To help my immunity. I have gotten vaccinated over 6 months ago (on a trial) it seemed to work quite well. I still have antibodies according to the blood center I donate to. I have worked through the pandemic. And have been exposed. Just didn't actually get sick
I love the results of more cleanliness! For the first time since I can remember I've had a full year without sniffles or a blocked nose. I don't desinfect, but I do wear a mask.
I love Dr. Blair's reasoning and her cogent presentations! We need more people like her!
Dr. Blair....always bringing common sense + critical thinking to the people.

The tee shirt of the moment reads: "I've used so much hand sanitizer, now when I pee it cleans the toilet." Funny! Um...
I had to remind my sister that she needed to allow her son to get dirty to build his immune system. We need to expose ourselves to basic germs!!! ❤
Thanks for the love ❤

You always make so much sense. I've been saying some of those things for years but so many people looked at me like I was nuts.
Great video! Thank you for this valuable information. Enjoying all your videos!
So glad to see you are well. Thanks for letting us know your thoughts. Be well.
You are such a great resource for ALL of us, thanks so much for you peace and love!!! ✌❤
This is why she's my baby's doctor.
🧠Right on 🙏 Amen
🕊 PEACE 💜 BLESSINGS 👼

ha ha, so I'm not the only one!!

You said it!! It’s happening
Dang. You really called it a year ago. We are seeing some crazy bugs too across all demographics and ages. You’re a brilliant physician. Thanks for doing what you do. 💪🏻
Thank you! I’m seeing the same thing! It’s insane!
I'm mad at You Tube she not recommended to me anymore. I subscribed to her long ago forgot, was clearing my subs when I rediscovered her. She is an awesome person and Dr. I miss way too many of her vids now I have to back track.
Makes total sense! Good to keep these things in mind.
Dear Doctor,
The best public service message I have heard yet, LATELY especially✨🙏🌿
Yep, sneezing with the “Ah-lah-gees”.... 🦠 Classic 🦠
Miss you! Gabby Anis says HI. Thanks for this video

My mom had a cold but had both vaccines. I suggested she get tested for covid. Fortunately, she didnt have it!
Wow just watched you videos 7 years ago ..... and you look nearly the same. Respect.
I haven't used hand sanitizer or disinfectants in my house in years. No bleach, no Lysol. No antibacterial soaps, except for the Palmolive dish soap. I haven't had a cold in 4 years. I do take a super vitamin B complex with vitamin C in it.
Can’t wait!!😍😍😍

I'm fully vaccinated but I'm having some allergy symptoms. I'm going to go get tested now Just to make sure it isn't something else.🤔
The CDC isn't helping either. They lowered the cycle threashold for testing in the vaccinated.

Spot on
Maybe some people’s immune systems are shot but except for the first two weeks of the Covid stuff I didn’t change a thing. Sorry for them.
I love the results of more cleanliness!
For the first time since I can remember I've had a full year without sniffles or a blocked nose.
I don't desinfect, but I do wear a mask.
