00:00:02.000
All right, so the YouTube feed looks like it's working, but come on in here, get in
00:00:14.000
A little technical difficulty, but you have arrived at the highlight of civilization,
00:00:19.000
and you've arrived in time for the simultaneous sip.
00:00:22.000
And if you're late for it, you probably want it to be.
00:00:25.000
But all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice or a stein,
00:00:28.000
and a canteen, jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:00:34.000
And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine the other day that makes everything
00:00:51.000
Yeah, I hope, I hope those, I hope people are not stuck on some broken live stream.
00:01:01.000
I just love it when YouTube dies just before I need it.
00:01:06.000
Now, this was going to be the most important live stream I ever did.
00:01:11.000
In all likelihood, this would have been the highest rated live stream I've ever done.
00:01:19.000
And of course the technology doesn't work on this one.
00:01:23.000
This could have been like a life changing, you know, live stream.
00:01:31.000
Probably, it could have changed the history, actually changed this, the direction of my whole
00:01:38.000
All right, let's go private over here on the locals platform.
00:02:12.000
The COVID-19, the RSV, the flu, basically all of them are starting to dive.
00:02:37.000
I just have to tell you, somebody over on YouTube just says, ah, masks work.
00:02:45.000
I assumed that was a joke, but it was a good one.
00:02:59.000
But is it possible that through all of this badness and the COVID and everything,
00:03:05.000
is it possible that we've just supersized our immune systems?
00:03:10.000
Like, I can't think of any reason that all of the viruses would be down at the same time
00:03:25.000
So it could be that, yeah, actually, the only thing that's going down is the hospitalizations.
00:03:34.000
So it could be that maybe something's happened.
00:03:37.000
Maybe our immune system's got maybe ramped up a little bit.
00:03:42.000
Or it could be that people are just not going to the hospital.
00:03:48.000
So there may be so many people who have been infected with something that's close enough
00:03:53.000
Because I can't think of any other reason, right?
00:03:55.000
Is there any other hypothesis why all the viruses would go down at the same time in the
00:04:14.000
It could be that the people who are going to die already died.
00:04:21.000
One update on the fascinating story of Steven Crowder versus The Daily Wire.
00:04:28.000
And remember, he was offered a big deal, a lot of money, and he said,
00:04:36.000
It's about whether he would be able to do what he wants to do and not be penalized
00:04:43.000
in terms of censorship or losing money and stuff.
00:04:46.000
Now, I made my criticisms about a recorded phone call and went over the deal, but there's
00:05:00.000
It looked to me at the time, and I didn't mention it, I don't think, but Candace Owens
00:05:05.000
did, that he's probably looking to just start his own thing.
00:05:10.000
And so one way to get a lot of attention for starting your own thing is to make a big
00:05:15.000
deal and torch the people who were trying to hire you.
00:05:20.000
And I heard from Candace Owens on video that he had countered or he'd asked for $120 million.
00:05:36.000
That's just something I heard on Candace's show.
00:05:39.000
So, what does it tell you that if the number was $120, what would that tell you?
00:05:48.000
It looks like he was trying to get a bigger payday than Joe Rogan.
00:05:58.000
Because he could get a lot of attention by going, doing his own thing.
00:06:02.000
And maybe that's the only way he can say what he wants to say without getting censored.
00:06:09.000
And the dollar amounts were spread over X number of years.
00:06:13.000
So, it sounds to me like it was probably a play where one of two things would happen.
00:06:21.000
Either the Daily Wire would either up their offer or modify their offer.
00:06:34.000
And at the size, the scale and size he's operating at, starting his own thing makes sense.
00:06:54.000
I called them Wagner, but if you want to be really Russian sounding, let's call them Wagner.
00:07:17.000
But what if I told you the Wagners were after you?
00:07:32.000
But I guess the story is that the Wagner group is getting all the good weapons,
00:07:36.000
and they're the only ones that are making any progress in terms of taking over territory in Ukraine.
00:07:42.000
And what's interesting is the head of the Wagner group is just saying it directly.
00:07:49.000
He's saying that only the Wagner group is doing anything and the Russian army is kind of useless.
00:08:00.000
Because apparently either Putin is losing control over him because he's the only one, you know, he's getting any progress.
00:08:12.000
Or the Wagner group might be getting ready to take over Russia.
00:08:20.000
I feel like there would be enough firewalls there to keep the Wagner group from taking over the Kremlin.
00:08:25.000
But they might be the only operating military in a year.
00:08:30.000
Like, it's possible that the Wagner group is all that's left that's, you know, functioning in a good way.
00:08:35.000
So, it makes you wonder if the Wagner group could take over the country.
00:08:39.000
So, that would be the scariest situation probably.
00:08:46.000
How many of you saw Tucker Carlson talking about the history of the CIA running the country from the Kennedy assassination through today?
00:09:02.000
It might be one of the greatest things I've ever seen on television in all genres.
00:09:14.000
The greatest thing I've ever seen on television in any genre.
00:09:27.000
Or, let's say, I think we know that the facts he gave are true.
00:09:36.000
But I don't know if the interpretation is right on.
00:09:40.000
But if you missed it, I'll try as best I can to give you the summary.
00:09:48.000
It honestly is one of the greatest things I've ever seen on television.
00:09:52.000
Maybe I oversold it, but definitely listen to it.
00:09:58.000
We know from audio tapes, as Tucker explained, that Richard Nixon believed he knew who killed John Kennedy.
00:10:06.000
Because he said so to the head of the CIA on tape that we have.
00:10:11.000
And the head of the CIA answered with, no answer whatsoever.
00:10:20.000
So soon after, Nixon said he thought he knew who killed John, as he called it, Kennedy.
00:10:32.000
Now, here's some context that I was not aware of that Tucker filled in.
00:10:38.000
Did you know that Richard Nixon was the most popular president of all time?
00:10:43.000
According to the margin of his win for his second term.
00:10:48.000
If you look at how much he won his second term by, nobody's ever been close.
00:10:53.000
He's actually the most popular president in the history of the United States.
00:11:02.000
I would have thought he was closer to the bottom, but only because I was brainwashed.
00:11:08.000
I was a very young man when the Watergate stuff was happening.
00:11:15.000
I was totally brainwashed into thinking Nixon was a monster.
00:11:38.000
So then the Watergate thing happens, which brought down Nixon.
00:11:44.000
Did you know that the four members of the Watergate break-in were ex-CIA people?
00:11:54.000
The very group that we suspect, or it looks like, may have brought Nixon down?
00:12:02.000
How about, did you know that when Nixon, you know, the Watergate thing happened,
00:12:09.000
he was removed from office, he was replaced not by his vice president,
00:12:13.000
because the vice president had already been taken out, Spiro Agnew,
00:12:17.000
but rather he was replaced by Gerald Ford, and Gerald Ford was an ex-CIA guy,
00:12:27.000
who also was the head of the Warren Commission that interestingly said
00:12:33.000
it was just one shooter and nobody else was involved.
00:12:36.000
So the ex-CIA guy, who only was in the vice presidency because the deep state already took out the vice president,
00:12:44.000
and then they took out the president, and he installed the guy that they had installed at the head of the Warren Commission
00:12:50.000
to say that nothing had happened to John Kennedy that was strange,
00:13:02.000
Like, well, I knew like a lot of the parts, but I hadn't connected them.
00:13:06.000
So then Nixon gets taken out by the Watergate thing, which was a bunch of CIA people.
00:13:13.000
And then the Washington Post writes about the story, you know, a big breaking story, and it was Woodward and Bernstein.
00:13:26.000
Woodward was, was he somebody who came up through the journalism, let's say, path?
00:13:38.000
Woodward was an intel guy who somehow got one of the biggest jobs in journalism at one of the biggest outlets without experience.
00:13:46.000
And then suddenly, he got all the scoop on Watergate from somebody in the intel community he used to work for.
00:13:59.000
So it looks like maybe the Washington Post and Woodward and Bernstein were in on it.
00:14:08.000
It looks like the CIA has been running things, or the intel or deep state or whatever,
00:14:14.000
has been running things since the days of Kennedy or before.
00:14:17.000
And all of it's just, all of it is just orchestrated.
00:14:37.000
Does anybody think Ronald Reagan was a CIA deep state person?
00:14:49.000
So we get somebody who's not a deep state person, and somebody tries to assassinate him.
00:15:00.000
But is Reagan like the exception that proves the rule?
00:15:05.000
That he was so popular he could get elected anyway,
00:15:08.000
you know, even if there's some, you know, movement against him.
00:15:17.000
Didn't matter if he was Republican or, like Kennedy, a Democrat.
00:15:22.000
If you're somebody who is not already deep state, you get assassinated.
00:15:58.000
Well, Clinton seems to have some deep state connection.
00:16:16.000
Oh, I think you're going to find out something about Obama.
00:16:24.000
but you might have some surprises in the future.
00:16:50.000
You know, when you see the whole history of it,
00:17:11.000
Like, everything I knew about the United States,
00:17:20.000
And, you know, the reason that I can say this in public
00:17:25.000
do you know why I can say this in public without risk?
00:17:49.000
Why is the government not working on TikTok to ban it,
00:18:02.000
Somebody in intelligence doesn't want it to happen.
00:18:14.000
Can't we guarantee at this point that the politicians are not in charge?
00:18:26.000
If the politicians are genuinely not in charge.
00:18:29.000
It's just the deep state telling people what to do and then they act like they're in charge.
00:18:50.000
Or, you know, some permanent members are in charge.
00:18:54.000
Not necessarily just CIA, but I'm sure they're part of the larger story.
00:19:01.000
There's more information about the lab leak theory in the Fauci files.
00:19:05.000
And now we know that behind the scenes that the experts were saying it looked like there was a good chance it was a lab leak.
00:19:17.000
But publicly the government was saying, oh, it's not a lab leak.
00:19:22.000
It came from some kind of a bat or a penguin or something.
00:19:25.000
But apparently behind the scenes the experts were not saying that.
00:19:29.000
They did, however, seem to drift in that direction over time.
00:19:34.000
But the question is, why was our government lying to us when it was a very real possibility in the experts' minds?
00:19:42.000
You know, it was like a 50-50, 60-40 situation, whether it was natural or lab related.
00:19:48.000
And do you agree with the government lying to you in that context?
00:20:01.000
Do you think the government should have been honest and say, you know, honestly we can't tell if it's a lab leak or not
00:20:07.000
and our experts are sort of up in the air on it?
00:20:12.000
I was listening to Spaces yesterday and I heard a counterpoint to that.
00:20:20.000
Your first instinct is, of course they should tell you.
00:20:33.000
We didn't know if somebody had intentionally let out a virus.
00:20:36.000
We didn't know if panic was going to be a bigger problem than the virus itself.
00:20:43.000
So under those conditions, where the stakes are really the fate of the whole country, and it's all unknown, and your government decides to lie to you for your own benefit, is it unethical?
00:21:08.000
But I'll tell you that in general, if somebody's on my team and they lie to me for my own benefit, I'm going to treat that with, let's say, more empathy than if somebody was just trying to screw me for their benefit.
00:21:27.000
If you're screwing me for your benefit, then you must die.
00:21:32.000
If you're lying to me for my benefit and you've had a good argument, even if you're wrong, you had a good argument at the time and you had my back, I'm not going to be as hardcore on that.
00:21:47.000
I wouldn't criticize you for being a maniac on that.
00:21:50.000
It just, that's where I, that's sort of my current uncomfortable stance on it.
00:21:57.000
How many of you are aware that Dana White, who was caught on video slapping his wife after his wife slapped him first in Cabo, coincidentally was launching a new show on TBS called Power Slap in which people stand there and slap each other in the face until one can't take it anymore.
00:22:23.000
Well, it doesn't seem like a coincidence, right?
00:22:26.000
Like that, that, that, I don't know how many minutes of Dana White's entire life are caught on somebody's camera phone, camera phone on their phone.
00:22:38.000
But it was kind of a big coincidence that just before he launches a major show about people slapping each other, that just before that he gets caught on camera slapping his wife who slapped him first, but neither of them got hurt and neither of them complained.
00:22:57.000
Now, there are two ways to say it's not a coincidence.
00:23:01.000
Number one, it was a clever plan for marketing.
00:23:09.000
Do you think it was all a setup and it was just marketing?
00:23:15.000
It's not my, it's not my first conspiracy theory choice.
00:23:22.000
I've got a second theory that's sort of in between.
00:23:29.000
For, if he, if he's launching this new, this whole new business, what do you think he was doing every day?
00:23:36.000
Probably every day, he was talking about the word slap as, you know, it's like slap this, slap that.
00:23:45.000
And then he was looking at videos of people slapping.
00:23:48.000
He was probably looking at some, you know, test competitions to see how it would work out.
00:23:53.000
Probably all day long, this guy was around people slapping people in their face.
00:23:59.000
Then when he comes home, what does he talk about with his wife?
00:24:06.000
I'll call it a slap fight, slap power, power slap.
00:24:13.000
So he and his wife are talking about people slapping each other and not dying.
00:24:19.000
Because in theory, they're all supposed to survive, right?
00:24:24.000
And the context is these people are really big and slapping the hell out of each other,
00:24:31.000
as opposed to what the couple did, which was sort of got each other's attention.
00:24:38.000
So, I think that the priming is what was the problem.
00:24:48.000
But my best theory is if all day long you're talking about people slapping each other,
00:24:53.000
and then you get drunk, and your wife slaps you because she knows it's not going to hurt you,
00:24:59.000
and all day long you're talking about people slapping each other,
00:25:09.000
The fact that it was on camera is probably just because he's famous, right?
00:25:14.000
So people probably always take his picture if they recognize him.
00:25:24.000
Do you think that the excessive priming about slapping just bled into his normal,
00:25:37.000
Now, also, you have to know that for him to launch a slap network,
00:25:44.000
In his mind, he must have talked himself out of it being dangerous.
00:25:52.000
But he must have talked himself out of it being dangerous.
00:25:55.000
So that when he did it, he was already in the frame of,
00:26:12.000
If you've seen the advertisements for it in the video,
00:26:22.000
I'm not a doctor, but it looks like a brain damage competition.
00:26:28.000
Because the people who get slapped, at least, you know, in the previews,
00:26:41.000
And they don't even, you know, they act like they're not even conscious for a little while.
00:26:50.000
You know that a concussion is brain damage, right?
00:26:58.000
Now, I don't know if they're getting concussions, but I know they act like it.
00:27:02.000
So, in my non-medical opinion, it's a show about people who are giving each other brain damage.
00:27:10.000
And I'd love to tell you, therefore, I'm not going to watch it.
00:27:17.000
But honestly, watching stupid people slap the shit out of each other is way more entertaining than it should be.
00:27:37.000
By the way, does anybody want to hear me say that the anti-vaxxers were totally right?
00:28:03.000
Have I ever mentioned that I end up in the middle of national stories way too often?
00:28:15.000
But it starts with Elon Musk tweeted that his cousin, who is young and in peak health, had a serious case of myocarditis after the shot and went to the hospital.
00:28:26.000
But he said that after he'd said that he himself, Elon Musk, had major side effects from my second booster shot.
00:28:36.000
Hopefully no permanent damage, but I don't know.
00:28:39.000
Now, this is a headline story on Fox News, you know, just a few hours after he tweeted it.
00:29:06.000
So somehow, like, this is what makes me feel like I'm living in a simulation.
00:29:11.000
Because it's just too weird how often I get in the middle of a story.
00:29:17.000
It can't, it's hard to describe in, you know, it's hard to understand in any normal way.
00:29:28.000
And so that you will all stay with me, here's what's going to happen.
00:29:35.000
I'm going to tell you that the people who, the anti-vaxxers appear to be right.
00:29:41.000
But then I'm going to talk about some why, right?
00:29:47.000
Usually you, most of you disappear when I talk about anything vax related.
00:29:52.000
But I'm only going to talk about how we analyze it.
00:29:55.000
But having, I'm going to start with an admission, okay?
00:30:06.000
But at the moment, the anti-vaxxers appear to be the ones who are the most right.
00:30:29.000
That at the moment, with what we know right now, it would look like the people who didn't get vaccinated are the lucky ones or the right choice.
00:30:42.000
But wouldn't you say that they, if, so here's their situation.
00:30:48.000
I got vaccinated, you know, reluctantly, and I waited as long as possible and blah, blah.
00:30:59.000
I got a little bit of, you know, Omicron, few days of discomfort, no big deal.
00:31:04.000
So now I have natural immunity from the Omicron.
00:31:08.000
But I also have this, you know, let's say not perfectly understood vaccination thing inside me forever.
00:31:18.000
So how happy am I that we're sort of on the other side of the pandemic, I would say, but I have this extra, like, nagging thing in my body?
00:31:34.000
Well, I'm not unhappy, but I could be a lot happier, right?
00:31:39.000
My perfect situation would be natural immunity and no vaccination in my body.
00:31:46.000
So I don't, I, that's not the best situation for me, right?
00:31:50.000
Best situation would be somebody who did not get vaccinated, got a little Omicron, or maybe even a worse one, but recovered.
00:32:01.000
Now you've got natural immunity and you have no vaccination in you.
00:32:07.000
Can we all agree that that was the winning path?
00:32:14.000
That, that based on what we know today, which could change, you know, I'm going to stay open to reversing this decision if anything changes.
00:32:24.000
But at the moment, every day we get more bad news about the vaccinations, the shots, and, but we don't get better information, right?
00:32:38.000
The, the big, one of the biggest wild cards was this long COVID.
00:32:44.000
And anecdotally, it looks like the vaccination side effects appear to be bigger than the long COVID.
00:32:57.000
And if I learn later that it's not true, I might reverse my decision.
00:33:01.000
But at the moment, just anecdotally, I'm not hearing tons of people saying I had bad COVID experience that's lingering.
00:33:11.000
They do exist, Dr. Zhu being, you know, a notable person with that case.
00:33:16.000
I think, did Dr. Malone say he had some long COVID?
00:33:22.000
So there is some notable, we know that both exist.
00:33:26.000
You know, there is, there is something that people identify as long COVID.
00:33:29.000
And there are things that people identify correctly or not as a vax injury.
00:33:35.000
But it does seem like the vaccination we hear more about than the long COVID.
00:33:45.000
Now, here is the most interesting part to me, right?
00:33:51.000
And first of all, is everybody accepting that that's where the data is at the moment?
00:34:00.000
That the smartest, happiest people are the ones who didn't get the vaccination and are still alive.
00:34:08.000
Now, there is a category of people that, according to mainstream medicine, are only alive because they got the vaccination.
00:34:28.000
The medical professionals still say that, you know, millions of lives were saved of the older people.
00:34:35.000
But at the cost of maybe lives of the younger people and maybe at a cost of, you know, longer term damage that we can't predict.
00:34:45.000
Now, I'm only saying that's what the experts say.
00:34:49.000
Would you agree that the experts still say, mostly experts still say,
00:34:54.000
that the vaccination probably saved millions of lives.
00:35:06.000
So, I'll allow that you disagree with the experts.
00:35:10.000
That's where the bulk of experts are at the moment.
00:35:13.000
Now, so if I compare myself to an anti-vaxxer today,
00:35:19.000
I would say the anti-vaxxers have a right to be happier than I do.
00:35:26.000
I want to make sure that I'm not leaving any wiggle room for myself.
00:35:34.000
Have I said as clearly as possible they're the happy ones right now?
00:35:45.000
Somebody asked, let's see, it was Elijah Schaefer.
00:35:53.000
I'm still intrigued by how many intelligent people got duped into taking these.
00:36:05.000
Why did so many smart people take the vaccinations?
00:36:13.000
And let me list some people who got vaccinated.
00:36:21.000
And he was one of the inventors of the technology.
00:36:27.000
because information has come out that makes that look like a sketchy decision for most people.
00:36:34.000
So, Elon Musk, who most people consider one of the smartest analytical people in the world,
00:36:48.000
The executives of Pfizer, who should have known the most about his safety,
00:37:08.000
So, I accept that you don't know if they took it.
00:37:17.000
We all accept that we don't know for sure who took what.
00:37:23.000
Well, if we found out later that the Pfizer executives just said they took it and didn't,
00:37:35.000
If you ever found out that the Pfizer executives only lied and didn't take their own vaccination,
00:37:45.000
In fact, if the legal system can't kill them, the public should hunt them down.
00:38:05.000
I think the public would actually tear them up to pieces.
00:38:12.000
If I had to bet on it, I'll bet all of the executives took it.
00:38:17.000
But if I had to bet on it, I would not bet that all of their scientists took it.
00:38:29.000
But I'll bet that all of the executives took it because, you know, they had executive pressure on them.
00:38:52.000
But I wouldn't be surprised if all the executives took it.
00:39:00.000
So basically, if the CEO took it, and maybe he had to for, you know, his risk reward to make his billions of dollars, it was a good risk.
00:39:09.000
But if the CEO took it, you're pretty much, your ass is going to get fired if you don't take it.
00:39:22.000
Do you think the members of the CDC, who had maybe more information than we did, do you think that they all got jabbed?
00:39:43.000
Do you think Fauci himself didn't take the vaccination?
00:39:49.000
And why would he take it if he knows so much and he knows it's dangerous?
00:39:54.000
Why would the Pfizer people take it if they know so much?
00:40:01.000
The Pfizer people and Fauci don't have the same calculation that you and I do.
00:40:10.000
So even if they think the vaccination is dangerous, let's say you came to me and said,
00:40:16.000
Scott, there's an incredibly high 10% chance this shot will kill you.
00:40:23.000
There is a 9% and a 10% chance that if you take the shot and convince other people to take it, you will make $10 billion.
00:40:33.000
Would I take the shot if there was a 10% chance it would hurt me and a 90% chance I'd make billions of dollars?
00:40:50.000
If it were 2%, the vaccination would be like mowing down people like crazy.
00:40:57.000
Because 2% of 8 billion or whatever, however many get vaccinated, is a big, big number.
00:41:03.000
But I'd take a 98% chance of dying for a billion dollars.
00:41:11.000
So, Fauci and the executives of Pfizer, it does make sense for them to get vaccinated if there's only a 2% chance they're going to drop dead from it.
00:41:27.000
There's some news out now that the CDC knew that, like, close to 8% of people were having terrible side effects that were permanent or something.
00:41:39.000
Like, that would be jail time if they knew that.
00:41:57.000
What percentage of college professors across all disciplines, you know, these are the smartest, most analytical people,
00:42:15.000
So, if you ask why did Elon Musk get vaccinated, you have to ask why did the people who make the thing get vaccinated?
00:42:24.000
Why did the people who know the most, the CDC, get vaccinated?
00:42:31.000
Why did almost all college professors get vaccinated?
00:42:50.000
Having said as clearly as possible that the anti-vax people seem to be the winners, I want you to hear that clearly.
00:43:12.000
But I'd like to give you a little lesson on how to properly analyze things, what to compare to what.
00:43:19.000
Historically, you know, X number of people reported bad vaccination related things for different vaccinations.
00:43:28.000
As soon as the jab became available, the COVID jab, the VAERS report skyrocketed to levels never seen before.
00:43:37.000
Now, this is a comparison of the COVID vaccination to prior vaccinations.
00:43:44.000
Now, the VAERS report, of course, is not a study, but suppose it's all true.
00:43:52.000
What it would tell you is that the COVID vaccination is way more dangerous than prior vaccinations.
00:44:03.000
That, you know, even if it's inaccurate, it's so different that it's definitely telling you something.
00:44:12.000
Would you agree it's definitely telling you something, and something you should totally pay attention to?
00:44:24.000
It's the right comparison for looking for a danger signal.
00:44:30.000
It's the wrong comparison to tell you if you should or should not take the vaccination.
00:44:38.000
It's comparing the outcomes of the vaxxed versus the unvaxxed, or the shot versus unshot, because you don't want to call it a vaccination.
00:44:47.000
In the early days, this is the data, whether it was true or not, we don't know if it's true.
00:44:54.000
But the early Alpha Delta situation where the virus was more deadly, it seemed that the unvaxxed were having worse outcomes.
00:45:04.000
Now, I'm not saying it's true, but you'd all agree that's what we were presented with, right?
00:45:13.000
It might not be the correct data, and it might not be the correct decision, but it's the correct comparison, right?
00:45:21.000
You don't compare COVID in a pandemic to other vaccinations not in a pandemic.
00:45:35.000
Once this gives you the signal, then you look over here.
00:45:39.000
And this was telling us the opposite of what this was scaring the best.
00:45:49.000
Were people being over-counted or under-counted?
00:45:54.000
Is there any pandemic data that you should trust?
00:46:03.000
I'm saying that was the context in which all these smart people got vaccinated.
00:46:11.000
Would you agree that the context of which all these smart people got vaccinated,
00:46:16.000
from Musk to Dr. Malone, et cetera, was when it looked like there was a big difference between the outcomes?
00:46:32.000
So it's easy to see how smart people would have gotten vaccinated.
00:46:37.000
But correct me if I'm wrong, because I might be a little out of date.
00:46:42.000
Is it true that the current information we're getting, which is no longer the deadliest virus, it's Omicron,
00:46:49.000
that we're seeing this happen, which is this is reversed.
00:46:53.000
We're seeing more of the people with vaccinations who are having bad problems.
00:46:59.000
Can you confirm that the situation has reversed, at least in the data, from when all those smart people got vaccinated?
00:47:09.000
So the same smart people who got vaccinated are not getting boosted.
00:47:21.000
I know I didn't get boosted, because I'm now in this context.
00:47:28.000
Is this telling you that getting vaxxed is more dangerous than not being vaxxed?
00:47:44.000
Because at this point, the people who are getting vaccinated are old, frail people.
00:47:51.000
If the old, frail people didn't get vaccinated, they'd probably be dying at twice that rate,
00:48:01.000
according to the experts who might be lying to us, who knows.
00:48:07.000
So what you should compare here is that these old, frail people do not compare them to the
00:48:14.000
Compare them to the old, frail people who didn't get vaxxed.
00:48:19.000
So you should only look at old, frail people compared to old, frail people.
00:48:24.000
But at this point, every old, frail person is vaxxed.
00:48:30.000
Everybody who was old and frail got pushed into it because why?
00:48:38.000
If you're old and frail, do you think you put up a fight about the vaccination?
00:48:46.000
Grandma, at 80 years old, did not have a choice of getting a vaccination.
00:48:55.000
So basically, you're just vaxxing the shit out of the people who are going to die tomorrow
00:49:04.000
This doesn't tell you the vaccinations don't work.
00:49:14.000
Because it's not a comparison that makes sense.
00:49:17.000
You're comparing healthy people to frail people.
00:49:20.000
Under every situation, the frail people are going to be dying, even if you did all the
00:49:26.000
You could do everything right for this group and they're still going to die 10 times more
00:49:42.000
The anti-vaxxers clearly are the winners at this point.
00:49:49.000
And I don't want to put any shade on that whatsoever.
00:49:57.000
But, if you think they got there by good analytics, that didn't happen.
00:50:07.000
Because you could analyze it correctly and make the wrong decision.
00:50:14.000
Would you agree that you could analyze it with the best analytical capabilities, but
00:50:24.000
So, there wasn't really anything that we knew or could guess.
00:50:31.000
It's going to be a guess because I don't know what long COVID would do to me.
00:50:40.000
But I also didn't know what the vaccination would do to me.
00:50:45.000
So, to me, it was two unknowns that were both enormous.
00:50:48.000
And both of them could have ended your life or your life quality.
00:50:52.000
So, I waited as long as possible to reduce the risk that something quick would happen.
00:51:01.000
And then I did what people in my category were typically doing.
00:51:16.000
Because, as things turn down, the unvaccinated have a current advantage.
00:51:22.000
The thing they're not worrying about is what I have to worry about.
00:51:27.000
Which is, I wonder if that vaccination five years from now.
00:51:46.040
I would not ask the anti-vaxxers to regret it either.
00:51:58.360
and everybody who didn't get it was a big old dope,
00:52:01.840
would I be telling you you should regret not getting it?
00:52:19.180
that everything the government does is bad for you,
00:52:31.660
were really just distrustful of big companies and big government.
00:52:51.080
a big company will produce a good product at a good price
00:53:06.640
let's just distrust everything the government did,
00:53:25.060
Somehow I got trapped on a little iceberg in the ocean.
00:53:27.700
It's just like shrinking as I'm floating into the sun.
00:53:31.620
I am currently in the only remaining category of people
00:53:36.840
who might have made the statistically right choice.
00:53:50.440
it looks like maybe there was still some benefit.
00:54:25.420
But to say that I got there by making bad decisions,
00:54:31.960
I think the people who understood how to make decisions
00:54:58.480
so I think maybe we're almost on the same page here.
00:55:03.480
So the weird thing is we're actually coming together
00:55:34.940
So I would not argue that idiots got the wrong, the right.
00:56:17.180
is that intelligence didn't have any role in this.
00:56:20.760
But instead, the people who ended up in the right place
00:56:23.420
are enjoying the feeling that they were the smart ones
00:56:30.080
And here's where I'm going to make a departure from my past.
00:56:42.300
How many of you are feeling like that righteous,
00:57:07.560
It might be my opinion that what we've proven beyond any question whatsoever
00:57:14.660
is that your intelligence and your wisdom and your experience
00:57:23.680
That being smart and being well-informed just didn't help at all.
00:57:40.120
and your position has gone from the weakest to the strongest.
00:57:46.520
Now, this is how I try to protect myself from cognitive dissonance.
00:58:17.180
You don't think I would have said the same thing?
00:58:31.380
And let's say it cured your cancer at the same time.
00:58:37.000
I like to think I would have told you I guessed.
00:59:22.040
Somebody says you got it right for the wrong reason.
00:59:27.280
I'm not going to say you got it right for the wrong reason
00:59:29.500
because your reason was you didn't trust the big companies
00:59:54.720
All of my fancy analytics got me to a bad place.
01:00:19.640
Do you think there's anybody who did the same thing
01:00:27.960
But they're not here to be part of the conversation.
01:00:51.980
The people who would disagree with you are all dead.
