Big long reply below haha - J: First, Kyle, keep telling your story as long as you think it'll help others. No one can change what you experienced and how you experienced it.But, a couple things you mentioned could easily be used against you. Avoiding them might help nullify some far left criticisms and help keep the far right from piggybacking on and politicizing your experience. K: Thank you for understanding, I do think it is helping add to the discourse and will eventually be of benefit to everyone to understand certain things to screen for to help avoid further...

I'm not a biker so would've never found this - saw the info on Kyle's Insta. I was moved to tears hearing both your heartbreaking stories. Spomer, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Your father sounded like a remarkable man. Kyle - I can't thank you enough for shining the light on vaccine injuries and speaking up when you had so much to lose. I've started HBOT and have had amazing results thus far. I'm happily back to rock climbing, hiking, cooking, etc., again. Incredible. You are a compassionate warrior. Bless your heart.

@sspomer Thank you guys for sharing a calm and honest conversation. Everybody’s lived experiences during the last couple years is valid and deserves discussion, not censorship. 🙏🏻❤️

This is probably one of the best perspectives on the entire pandemic I have ever listened to anywhere. It blows me away to hear it here on a mountain bike site rather than somewhere like 60 Minutes. Thank you so much for sharing Kyle. Hopefully Kelly and I will get a chance to say hi at Sea Otter.

Thanks so much for the opportunity to chat Spomer. I’m so sorry for all you have gone through as well and I appreciate you being willing to share. I hope that people are able to come away from this with the understanding that we are all in the midst of such a complex situation and at the end of the day we should try to treat each other with compassion and understanding. Many of us have different life, political, and religious beliefs and that’s one of the things that makes the world so special. As long as we are able...

Tough topic, and of course Kyle's personal story and a couple of his anecdotal stories are disturbing. It sucks that these news sources, just really can't be trusted. I've gotten to where I can't even watch the stuff. Cable news in particular is terrible for our society. Full of bias and inaccuracies. I'm proudly pro-vaccination, but it infuriates me that your story has been censored at times. The truth will set us free. GL, Kyle.

Kyle and April! Just finished listening to this podcast. AWESOME! Kyle, I love your critical thinking and willingness to dive in and make sense of all the data that is out there. Too many people read headlines or captions and don't get the full story. I like your approach, your integrity, and your passion. I'm glad Kyle gave an update on how April was doing through all this! She is amazing! So strong! I'm in the medical profession as an eye doctor. Obviously I'm not an infectious disease expert, but I've had my share of education in that area... and...

Damn... Things went heavy real fast... Spomer, sorry for your loss... Kyle, great to hear things have been improving for you.. Both mentally and physically.. I remember someone going off on you calling you an anti-vaxer on your IG and I was like "Did you miss the part where he got the shot?" I was also someone that encouraged you to step away from the social media and focus on yourself.. Keyboard courage brings out ugliness in people.. Keep telling your story.. One sided discussions are rarely productive.

What a moving conversation. Kyle and Spomer, you both demonstrate such a deep humanity and approach this topic with a level of thoughtfulness and compassion that is truly admirable.

Big ups to Vital @sspomer @kylechs5. It's hard to hear about the loss and pain. It's refreshing to hear a couple of good humans demonstrate what a grown-up and nuanced understanding looks like. Empathy, compassion, understanding, and basic common decency. Respect.
