| 0:00.0 | If someone said, do we have data of how you're going to do after this vaccine after two years, |
| 0:11.0 | I'll say no, we don't have long-term date on it. What I will say is it's really, really, really rarer to see side effects from a vaccine more than six to eight weeks after you give the vaccine. |
| 0:23.4 | Again, I do, we do a lot of vaccines in our office. |
| 0:26.0 | We give vaccines from really all ages. |
| 0:28.8 | And the vast, vast, I mean, I can't think of a person that's had an adverse reaction to a vaccine more than six to eight weeks out. |
| 0:36.8 | So I think from that standpoint, you know, the idea of that you're going to have some sort of weird reaction to the vaccine at six months or a year I think is very, very unlikely. |
| 0:46.0 | I think the other thing that we need to balance that with is what are going to be the long-term effects of getting COVID? |
| 0:51.0 | And again, I don't want to minimize people. Oh, it's a virus, I feel bad for a couple |
| 0:54.8 | days, and I get that. But you know, a lot of virus, there was just some research that came out today |
| 0:59.7 | of, you know, how the COVID virus actually affects your own DNA and so if you get a COVID infection |
| 1:05.7 | not from the vaccine but if you get a COVID infection that virus gets into your DNA |

| 1:20.0 | Welcome to the show, my name is Bill Yang. |
| 1:22.0 | I am a podcaster filmmaker and |
| 1:24.0 | ultra-runner and today I am very excited to share my conversation with Dr. |
| 1:28.4 | Andy Pasternak. He is a family medicine practitioner who also has a background in |
| 1:34.2 | epidemiology and preventive medicine. |
| 1:37.2 | Found at the Silver Stage Center for Family Medicine in Reno |
| 1:40.3 | and more recently was named to be the medical director for the Western States 100. |
| 1:47.0 | The reason why I wanted to have him on is that there's been a good deal of information coming out now about COVID from the CDC on the vaccine front, how it is and isn't spread, the easing of restrictions in certain parts, the uptick in other parts of the world. |
| 2:02.0 | Basically it was my goal to have about as nonpartisan a conversation |
