Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey - Ep 553 ｜ My Family’s COVID Experience & Why I Lost Faith in the 'Experts'

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, welcome to Relatable. I am coming to you from my home. Why am I recording from

00:00:17.080 home instead of in my lovely studio with all of my fancy equipment that makes this sound

00:00:22.980 and look the best that it possibly can? Because my family and I are recovering from being

00:00:28.300 sick. If you follow me on Instagram, you know this. That's why I didn't have a new show Monday,

00:00:35.820 Tuesday. You should still go listen to those replay episodes. I tried to pick popular episodes

00:00:40.500 and replay them on Monday, Tuesday. But we are recovering from being sick. And because I care

00:00:45.240 about my team and I don't want to infect them, I am still recording from home, although we are

00:00:52.340 feeling better, I'm going to get into our experience with our sickness, which maybe you

00:00:58.480 have guessed was COVID-19. It finally caught us. And I'm going to use that as a jumping

00:01:05.040 off point to talk about a lot of different things that have been pinned up over the past couple

00:01:09.320 of weeks about COVID and COVID policy and all of that and all the developments. And we're

00:01:13.460 going to answer the question and analyze the question, is the tide turning? This episode

00:01:20.000 is brought to you by our friends at Good Ranchers. They ship better than organic chicken and craft

00:01:27.300 beef right to your front door. Love Good Ranchers. Go to goodranchers.com slash Allie for a really

00:01:32.920 good deal. So guys, after two years, my family finally caught the vid. Now let me pause for just

00:01:43.500 one second, because if you're watching this on YouTube, you know, I already said this looks

00:01:47.100 different because I'm not in my studio, but I'm also going to be looking down something that I

00:01:51.160 don't do very much when I'm recording from my studio, because I can have the notes in front of

00:01:56.860 me right where the camera is. But now I just have them on my computer. And I really like writing out

00:02:03.360 my entire episode and making sure that I get the things that I want to say right verbatim. That's just

00:02:12.440 how I prepare. That's how I do things. I sometimes do it extemporaneously. But I really like to make

00:02:17.980 sure that I say what I plan on saying. So that is why you will see me if you're watching on YouTube

00:02:23.860 looking down, I'm referencing my notes and making sure that I am saying what I wanted to say. So

00:02:30.820 after two years, my family finally caught COVID. Like I said, I'm better now, but still recording from

00:02:41.140 home, because I don't want to, I don't want to spread it to anyone, even though I don't even I

00:02:47.040 don't think I'm contagious anymore. I actually think today is like day five or six. And I've been

00:02:52.740 a few days now without any symptoms. And so I think it would be fine. But you know, better safe than

00:02:57.420 sorry, when it comes when it comes to that. So over the past couple years, we have lived our lives

00:03:04.660 pretty normally, except for when we have gone to places that have restrictions, you know, we've

00:03:12.460 made the choice to go into a store, knowing that we didn't have to make the choice to go into a store.

00:03:16.900 But if we were choosing to go into a store, and they were requiring us to, you know, do something,

00:03:21.100 wear a mask, of course, when we traveled, we wore a mask, we followed those rules. Of course, we avoided

00:03:26.760 having to go anywhere to have those restrictions when possible. But we also didn't want to not live

00:03:33.640 our lives, we wanted to maintain a sense of normalcy for us and for our kids. And so we've

00:03:38.100 gone to church, we've gone out to eat, we've hung out with friends and family, we've flown places,

00:03:43.820 we've traveled, I've spoken at lots of conferences, talked to lots of people, I have taken pictures with

00:03:51.060 shaking hands with and hugged and met a ton of you over the past couple of years, when the conferences

00:03:58.200 finally did pick back up, like at the beginning of 2021, I got to meet a lot of you. I've gotten to

00:04:06.120 do that over the past year. And somehow we avoided COVID. So this is since like April of 2020. So we

00:04:13.080 took pretty seriously when President Trump was like two weeks slow the spread. After two weeks, we kind

00:04:18.960 of were like, Okay, well, we've got to go back to living our lives. So we resumed the family dinners

00:04:24.040 with my parents and with my brothers and nephews and all of that. And we started going back to church.

00:04:32.120 And we really, like I said, have tried to maintain as much as we can, a sense of normalcy and routine

00:04:38.420 and fellowship and community in our lives, realizing that there is more to life than avoiding a virus.

00:04:48.100 And when this whole thing started, we had an eight month old, now I have two kids, now I have a two

00:04:53.120 year old and a nine month old. And so a lot has changed over the past couple years. But when this

00:04:57.080 whole thing started, I had an eight month old. And even though I was really, like, I was really worried

00:05:01.940 about this virus spreading to her, of course, we didn't know everything. Then I also didn't want

00:05:08.540 the first year. And then now, of course, it turned out to be two years, two years of her life

00:05:13.200 to be isolated, to be stuck inside and to be characterized by fear. People are more than

00:05:23.020 just bodies. We are more than just vectors for a virus. We have emotional and relational and spiritual

00:05:33.940 needs. And we just wanted to make sure that those things were being met without being totally

00:05:40.940 reckless. And there were times over the past couple of years, because like I said, we're

00:05:45.800 not being reckless, we weren't being thoughtless. I was actually kind of calculating the risks

00:05:50.240 every time we did something, whether we traveled, you know, went to the beach, or I spoke at a

00:05:54.720 conference. And there were many times when I thought, okay, this is the time, this is the

00:05:58.320 time that we're going to get COVID for sure I'm going to get it. And it just didn't happen. I was

00:06:02.720 surprised over the last couple of years, especially when we would go through a surge of the media

00:06:06.560 talking about everyone getting it, everyone dying from it. And I would take a risk and I would go

00:06:12.020 somewhere I'd get on a plane and I still wouldn't get it. And I was just surprised by that. Finally,

00:06:16.920 though, my husband got it first, and then he passed it to our kids. And then I got it and I was just

00:06:25.100 praying to this was all this was last week, this was the end of last week, I was praying that either a I

00:06:31.000 wouldn't get it or be that I would get it last and not because I was scared to get it or I didn't want

00:06:36.440 to get it. And I would rather you know, my kids and my husband get it and not me. It wasn't about

00:06:40.120 that. It was because I knew that I was needed to take care of everyone. And I knew that would be a

00:06:44.600 lot more difficult for me to do that if I was sick. So graciously, seriously, by the grace of God, I was

00:06:50.100 the last one in our family to get sick. And so I really was able to take care of everyone as they

00:06:55.840 got better. So let me tell you, and probably by now, you have either had COVID or you know, lots of

00:07:02.260 people who have had COVID. And so me telling you, like our experience with it is not going,

00:07:07.260 it's not gonna be news for a lot of you. But maybe some of you, you've been like us, and you've been

00:07:11.760 able to outrun it for the past couple of years. And you're worried because you're hearing about

00:07:15.880 Omicron being so transmissible. And you're thinking kind of like me, okay, this is the time that you're

00:07:20.720 going to get it. Maybe I'll be helpful to some of you to just hear, hear my experience. And as someone

00:07:26.140 who is a hypochondriac, if you are someone who is riddled with anxiety still about this,

00:07:30.700 I do understand I can relate to that. And maybe hearing our experience with it will make you

00:07:36.700 feel better. So I started feeling bad on Saturday. I had the same symptoms that my husband started

00:07:42.740 feeling on Thursday. So achy, headache, fever for a few hours, a little congested. Really,

00:07:50.380 it was the tiredness that lingered through Monday and Tuesday. That was why I didn't record an episode.

00:07:56.560 Um, but by Tuesday, afternoon, I really I felt like a new woman, I felt like I was totally recovered.

00:08:04.400 And today, like I feel 100%. We didn't take any medications. Obviously, I'm not against medications.

00:08:10.620 We just didn't take any, we did have some treatment at our disposal, disposal, disposal. We just decided

00:08:17.720 to take some immune supplements that had been recommended to us by a friend instead of,

00:08:22.920 instead of taking any medication. I'm, like I said, not anti medication, I would rather not like

00:08:31.060 if I can knock something naturally, that's going to be my go to first. And so I just wanted to kind

00:08:37.020 of see how it would be if it ran its course, and it did run its course, and it wasn't bad. So for my

00:08:42.520 husband and I, that's what it was, it was a couple of days of just not feeling great. But it was way

00:08:49.740 better than most colds that I've had certainly better than the flu. I mean, I've had, I've kind

00:08:54.900 of had some bad sicknesses. Like I had shingles. When I was in college, I would say that's the worst

00:09:01.700 sickness that I that I've had. Shingles was terrible. I mean, I had to go home and stay home

00:09:08.280 for like three weeks. It was absolutely awful. I remember I had mono in high school. Mono was

00:09:12.740 terrible. I don't remember the last time I had the flu. I don't know, probably a few years,

00:09:17.880 maybe 10 years, maybe since college. I used to get strep throat, you know, in high school and

00:09:22.340 college, you're just around germy people all the time. And so you get sick. And this just in our 0.77

00:09:28.000 experience, it was way better than any of those things. And for the kids, it was even better than

00:09:33.200 that. So toddler, baby, almost completely unnoticeable. Honestly, if I didn't know that

00:09:39.760 my husband had had COVID, I don't know that we would have even noticed that our kids were sick,

00:09:45.960 the toddler just kind of didn't feel well, maybe a slight fever took a three hour nap really was

00:09:51.220 like as good as new after that. The baby had fever and fussiness on and off for about a day.

00:09:56.800 That was worse, I would say, actually, than the toddler, but neither had coughs or congestion or

00:10:05.360 anything like that. They both had RSV over the summer. And that was literally not exaggerating,

00:10:11.620 100 times worse. RSV was bad. Thankfully, our baby was eight weeks old at the time.

00:10:19.060 And we didn't have to go to the hospital, thank the Lord. But a lot of babies have to end up in 0.67

00:10:24.400 the hospital because of RSV, because really, it's just a lot worse for babies and for kids than COVID.

00:10:30.140 I mean, that was, that was a seven day sickness, where they were coughing, they were restless,

00:10:36.840 they had fevers, it was just awful, truly awful. This COVID did not even come within close range of

00:10:44.520 that. So if you are someone who your kid has had a bad cold, your kid has had the flu, your kid has

00:10:49.240 had RSV, probably, probably, and statistically, I think this is true. You really don't need to worry

00:10:57.660 about the severity of COVID for your kids. And that's not me saying that from a medically professional,

00:11:04.400 medical professional standpoint, I'm saying that from the data that we have, and the millions,

00:11:11.940 it seems like, or at least hundreds of thousands of anecdotes that we have from parents who had the

00:11:15.960 same experience. I'm guessing that this means that we had Omicron. Of course, we don't know.

00:11:22.540 That's apparently more transmissible, but a less severe variant than the original variant or the Delta

00:11:29.540 variant. Although most people I know, no matter what variant they had, below the age of 70,

00:11:37.180 I've had a similar experience with COVID and the one as the one that we had vaccinated or not. I also

00:11:43.420 know people mostly older people who have had a tough go with it. So a tough go of it. So I'm not saying

00:11:49.760 that that doesn't happen. Obviously, we know it does. I have friends whose parents went to the

00:11:54.980 hospital. So I'm not downplaying that. But I think our experience was characteristic of most

00:12:00.480 people's experience with COVID, especially in our age range, without underlying conditions. My

00:12:06.080 husband is 31. I'm almost 30. I'll be 30 next month. And so for our age cohort, like we knew the

00:12:12.280 statistics, we knew that we had a 99.99% chance of not even going to the hospital, not even talking about

00:12:19.540 our death chances. I mean, we take bigger chances every day getting into our car. And so we weren't

00:12:25.580 worried about that. But I do, I mean, over the past few weeks, I have seen lots of vaccinated and

00:12:33.200 unvaccinated people in my life have COVID. And this has been true since the vaccine came out. You know,

00:12:41.500 it's been true for the past year. I've seen people fully vaccinated who have gotten COVID. But

00:12:47.240 especially recently, the symptoms, and this is just in my circle. But again, I think that the data

00:12:55.460 shows pretty well that this is characteristic of everything that's going on in general, the symptoms

00:13:01.280 of the people in my life who are vaccinated, versus the people in my life who are unvaccinated,

00:13:08.280 the exact same. Like I, I have not one, I haven't had anyone in my life who has had Omicron and has had

00:13:15.440 like a really tough go of it, had severe symptoms, but they had the same types of symptoms as the

00:13:22.760 people in my life who are vaccinated. And as I said, there are a lot of people who are vaccinated in my

00:13:30.460 life who got symptoms with Omicron. And I think the data shows us that possibly, for some age cohorts,

00:13:43.000 it may reduce hospitalizations and death. Although I'm going to ask a question about that in just a

00:13:48.720 second that I think is interesting that I truly want to know the answer to. So I think that's true

00:13:54.040 for certain groups, that it could lessen the severity could lessen the severity. But I just want

00:14:00.960 to remind us, in general, what the hospitalization rates are for each age group, regardless of

00:14:10.020 vaccination. Okay, because we keep hearing, you know, you're selfish for not getting the vaccine,

00:14:15.460 even if it doesn't stop infection or transmission, which we know by now that it doesn't, you're selfish

00:14:20.940 because you're going to burden the healthcare system, because you're going to go to the hospital,

00:14:25.080 you're going to have to get out on put on a ventilator and die. Like, I think that we just

00:14:29.640 need to remember how low the chances of that happening are.

00:14:35.320 Okay, so according to the CDC, and this is just a good reminder, again, if you're someone who is

00:14:42.240 riddled with anxiety about this, and I'm not saying that you don't have any valid reason to

00:14:47.420 feel that way, especially if you have people in your life who really struggled through COVID.

00:14:51.760 And maybe you had a parent or a grandparent go to the ICU, or you had a friend that somehow took

00:14:57.320 a turn for the worst and thought that they were young and healthy. I understand that happens.

00:15:02.300 But it's important for us to put this into perspective. It's important for us to know the

00:15:08.080 statistics and know the actual probability. There's this interesting study, and it just came to mind.

00:15:12.520 So I don't have it in front of me. I've cited it before, I think a few months ago, it might have even

00:15:17.060 been like almost a year ago now. But it asks people who identify as liberals and people who identify as

00:15:24.860 conservatives, what they estimate the chances of going to the hospital are if you have COVID for

00:15:32.020 liberals, they thought that it was about a 50% chance, a 50% chance that if you get COVID,

00:15:38.880 then you are going to the hospital. And even people who identified as conservatives who answered this

00:15:43.580 poll, they way overestimated, I think they thought it was like 10 to 20%. Here's the reality. So for

00:15:50.740 ages 0 to 17, 0.003 to 0.006% of this age cohort is going to end up in the hospital with COVID. So at

00:16:07.220 its lowest, this is according to the CDC, we'll link it in the description of this episode, at its

00:16:11.800 lowest, 0.0003% of kids were going to the hospital with COVID. At the highest, 0.006%. And that has

00:16:19.640 been true throughout. That is effectively close to a 0% as it gets. I just think it's interesting to

00:16:27.700 just a side note, the RSV is so much more severe for this age group, especially babies. And why aren't

00:16:35.180 we seeing a push? Now, I'm not saying that we should see a push. But why aren't we seeing a push for a

00:16:39.800 vaccine for that? But for something that 0.0003% of kids are going to go to the hospital for, you're

00:16:51.640 seeing people say, Oh, I just can't wait to see this vaccine approved for this age group. I just

00:16:56.600 don't really totally understand that. Ages 18 to 49, 0.002% to 0.02%. That's the percentage of people

00:17:08.160 in that age group that are going to end up in the hospital because of COVID. Ages 50 to 63, 0.002% to 0.03%.

00:17:16.880 Ages 64 plus 0.003% to 0.07%. That's crazy. Like that's according to the CDC. That's not me, you know,

00:17:29.300 cobbling together different numbers based on what I want the hospitalization rates to be. I mean, you would

00:17:35.300 never think that according to the reporting that we're seeing what this administration is saying,

00:17:40.980 some of the restrictions that have been put in place in this country and around the world for

00:17:46.240 ages 64 plus 0.003% to 0.07% of that age group will end up in the hospital. And get this, this is crazy.

00:17:56.440 I really didn't know this. I mean, a lot of you, maybe you did because you're following the CDC tracker

00:18:01.860 every day. And I understand the CDC is not necessarily the most reliable institution in

00:18:06.880 this country right now. And that is, uh, that is, um, understating it. But I was also looking at the,

00:18:15.820 uh, the death rate numbers over time, or actually, no, this is the hospitalization numbers over time

00:18:21.620 for all age groups put together. Did you know that we are actually at the beginning of January,

00:18:27.520 2022, that was the highest hospitalization rate that we've ever had throughout. So that includes

00:18:34.880 last January when very few people had the vaccine. So it is higher, the debt or the hospitalization

00:18:43.520 rate with COVID was higher at the beginning of January of 2022 than it's been throughout the

00:18:52.600 entire pandemic, including last January, when we had that big surge. Um, when we had no vaccine,

00:19:00.240 according to our world and data on January 26th of 2021, we only had 1.6% of the country vaccinated

00:19:08.320 with two doses. Now we have 63% fully vaccinated 76% with at least one dose and our hospitalization

00:19:16.780 rate this month while still extremely low overall, as I just explained is higher than it's been the

00:19:22.440 entire pandemic. And if you are still pushing this myth that this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated,

00:19:28.080 which is so silly since the vaccinated still carry and spread the virus and maybe even more so since 0.85

00:19:33.480 they're not subjected to the same testing standards in many places. So maybe they don't know that they

00:19:37.540 have it if they have, you know, mild symptoms, uh, and they also are allowed into more public spaces

00:19:45.220 than the unvaccinated are in some cities. Uh, so we know that they are getting and spreading it. 0.98

00:19:51.780 So if you're still spreading that myth that this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated, knowing those 1.00

00:19:57.180 things, if you're still pushing that myth, you would still think that the hospitalization rate

00:20:02.840 would be lower today than it was a year ago, since so many people have these life-saving vaccines.

00:20:09.360 I truly don't know the answer to that because at the same time, the CDC's website shows that the

00:20:13.740 unvaccinated are more likely to go to the hospital and die than the vaccinated. So why would overall

00:20:19.300 hospitalizations be at their highest ever this month? And why wouldn't overall deaths be lower

00:20:25.240 than they are? If these vaccines are as effective as we keep hearing, I don't understand that.

00:20:31.940 And even if they are that effective, they obviously aren't stopping infection and transmission.

00:20:37.740 We're seeing that openly admitted now more and more. So what is the point of the draconian

00:20:43.920 requirements? If we know that for a fact, you hear that, okay, so they don't stop infection

00:20:49.680 or transmission, but they stopped you from going to the hospital, probably dying. So you will be

00:20:55.580 overburdening our healthcare system, like we mentioned before. And this is of course the same

00:20:59.800 healthcare system that just fired thousands of nurses and doctors because they wouldn't get this 1.00

00:21:04.940 vaccine. So you're told you're selfish for not getting it because you're going to burden the

00:21:08.960 hospital. If you don't get the shot, except again, there's a 99.99% chance that you won't

00:21:14.420 depending on your age and health status. If you're below the age of 70 without underlying conditions,

00:21:18.760 the chances of you going to the hospital for COVID are almost zero. So all of these people

00:21:23.820 who have COVID after the vaccine always say, wow, I'm so glad that I got the vaccine because it would

00:21:29.340 be so much worse if I didn't get the vaccine. Like, no, probably not. Probably not. Statistically,

00:21:35.420 that's not true. Like you probably would have been totally fine and maybe even had just the exact

00:21:39.520 same symptoms. So there's absolutely no selfishness in someone in a certain age group in health

00:21:45.820 category. Really, I think it should be a personal decision no matter what. But if you're trying to

00:21:50.360 make the argument that someone is going to burden the hospital system by not giving the shot

00:21:54.040 and they're selfish, there's just no selfishness in someone in a certain age and health category

00:22:01.720 denying a vaccine that is really more therapeutic in nature than a deterrent to transmission,

00:22:06.980 because they're not going to burden the hospital. Statistically, it is just so incredibly unlikely.

00:22:14.200 So you have to break this down for me. You have to kind of riddle me this question, which I

00:22:20.540 posed on Twitter and I didn't get any good answers from the other side about this.

00:22:25.680 How is it selfish for a person who, as soon as they feel themselves getting sick, stay home until

00:22:33.040 they stay home until they get better? So they're not going out. They're not infecting anyone. They

00:22:37.540 don't go to the hospital. And now they have immunity, far better immunity than any vaccinated

00:22:42.660 person. By the way, there was a recently published study by the CDC confirming that actual immunity is

00:22:48.380 much more effective against the Delta variant than the vaccine, which we've known. And Israel preprint

00:22:54.080 studies said the same thing several months ago. So a person who stays home while sick until all their

00:22:58.920 symptoms are gone, doesn't put a strain on any hospital, has natural immunity, and then goes about

00:23:03.900 their life. Can you explain to me how exactly that person is selfish? Like how did that person's decision

00:23:09.980 negatively impact anyone? How is that person failing to love your neighbor? I challenge you to

00:23:15.780 logically, that's the stipulation that tends to trip people up when they're trying to answer this.

00:23:20.360 Logically, how does their decision and their experience negatively impact anyone? That person

00:23:29.500 looked at the data and said, wow, my chances of having a manageable case here are almost 100%.

00:23:36.140 And I don't know quite enough about the vaccine yet. And so maybe they're saying that they want to see

00:23:41.480 what happens. And so they do see what happens. They get sick, they recover, they refuse the vaccine that

00:23:47.980 wouldn't have stopped their infection in the first place. How is that selfish in any way?

00:23:53.280 Now, unfortunately, we don't get an answer to these questions from our media, it would be a very

00:23:57.240 interesting question for the media to try to grapple with, or from our president, who just revoked the

00:24:03.240 emergency use authorization, by the way, for monoclonal antibodies for no other reason that I can see,

00:24:09.620 except that he just wants to push a vaccine only strategy, which is so stupid. Like if you actually want to

00:24:15.300 save people's lives, even if you are the biggest believer in the vaccine, your biggest vaccine

00:24:19.200 advocate ever, like wouldn't you still want to give people another chance, another opportunity,

00:24:26.840 another measure, even vaccinated people are taking monoclonal antibodies, because you know,

00:24:32.000 an unvaccinated person under the age of 40, is actually less likely to die from the virus than a

00:24:41.060 vaccinated elderly person. I mean, that's just the truth. And so these monoclonal antibodies are

00:24:47.540 also helping people who are vaccinated, who need them to get better. And yet he revoked the emergency

00:24:54.200 use authorization. And the excuse that we're hearing is that it's ineffective, the monoclonal antibodies

00:24:59.860 are ineffective against Omicron. But A, Delta is still circulating, which is more deadly, apparently,

00:25:05.600 than Omicron. And B, masks and vaccines are also proving to be ineffective against infection and

00:25:12.560 transmission when it comes to Omicron. Yet his administration is still pushing them. So what

00:25:17.260 purpose is this? What purpose does it serve to revoke the emergency use authorization for monoclonal

00:25:25.720 antibodies besides cruelty? I mean, it gets so tiresome to say, but if Trump, like if Trump did something

00:25:33.200 like that, I mean, you would just, you would be hearing people say over, you would be hearing

00:25:37.880 evangelicals stand up and say, Oh, this is not pro-life. This is so cruel. This is so terrible.

00:25:44.080 And I just haven't seen the same people stand up and say anything about this decision by the president.

00:25:49.900 Everything has just gotten so incredibly off rails, so incredibly insane. This is not about the science.

00:25:58.100 I don't know that it ever has been, but certainly over the last few months, certainly I would say over the

00:26:02.620 past year since Joe Biden has taken office, it's just, it defies explanation. Any logical explanation,

00:26:12.880 I should say. As Brett Weinstein said on my show, that incompetence does not explain how the government,

00:26:23.180 how governments around the world and how public health agencies have responded to this. Because

00:26:29.780 incompetence could explain someone fumbling the ball or making a few mistakes, but doing the exact

00:26:36.560 opposite of what should be done, that seems to be a little bit more malicious. And what I mean by that

00:26:44.140 is that if you really wanted people to not get COVID or to be able to recover from COVID, you would not pursue

00:26:52.300 a vaccine only strategy. Maybe a primary vaccine strategy if that floats your boat, but not a vaccine

00:26:59.080 only strategy. That would not be the only thing that you're pushing. You would not demonize very safe and

00:27:05.080 effective both prophylactics and therapeutics against COVID, which they have. They've demonized

00:27:12.820 these treatments. They've also demonized the doctors that have pushed them as some kind of conspiracy

00:27:18.560 theorists. You would not be shutting down debate. You would not be calling people who simply have

00:27:24.320 questions about the vaccine, a conspiracy theorists or fear mongers or telling them to just shut up and

00:27:30.660 comply. You wouldn't have to force it on people by threatening to take away their livelihood. If it was

00:27:37.100 something that you were able to convince the public that they really needed, you would be talking about

00:27:42.400 the importance of overall health, you'd be talking about the importance of vitamin D of getting

00:27:47.080 outside. But the government and its agencies have decided to take the opposite approach. And it's

00:27:53.260 really hard to see how there isn't some malice behind it. So I want to back up a little bit and

00:28:00.220 talk about how at least for me, I saw this get off rails. And when I started losing so much trust and

00:28:08.440 gaining so much frustration and resentment and cynicism about the response to all of this. And so

00:28:15.140 I'm going to give you a little bit of a timeline. So let me tell you my journey in all of this a little

00:28:24.520 bit, especially for those of you who haven't necessarily, maybe you haven't been following

00:28:29.040 for the past couple of years. Now that I've had COVID, I've paused to reflect on how my feelings and

00:28:37.120 perspectives have changed since the very beginning. And the very beginning of all this,

00:28:41.740 I was one of those people who, and it's just cringe to think about now. But I was one of those

00:28:48.160 people who was urging people to stay home and to stay inside and to consider the health of the most

00:28:52.560 vulnerable, and to consider the plight of your neighbor before going to work, etc. And to be fair,

00:29:00.020 that's because at the start, we just didn't know I thought that this could have a 20% death rate.

00:29:04.080 That's kind of what we were hearing. We didn't know how it spread, how contagious it was,

00:29:07.400 how long it was going to last, and what the proper measures were to stop it from killing people.

00:29:14.780 And thanks to the corruption of the Chinese Communist Party and cahoots with the corrupt WHO, 0.97

00:29:19.820 there was very little reliable information about this virus that had been, we found out only later in

00:29:28.460 2020 circulating in China for months in 2019, before it was uncovered and before China admitted

00:29:33.740 that it was actually being transmitted from human to human. So it was shrouded in a lot of mystery,

00:29:38.780 we just didn't know. So because of so much cover up, and manipulation and secrecy, and because of

00:29:45.020 propaganda videos being published by the Chinese Communist Party, where we saw people in China dropping

00:29:51.140 dead in the street, or at least it looked that way from COVID. We just really didn't know what was

00:29:56.320 going on. And as someone who was already a bit of a germaphobe, this was like my worst nightmare.

00:30:00.860 As I said, in the beginning, we had an eight month old at the time, I was so worried that this was going

00:30:05.940 to hurt her. And I was just incensed that there were still people going to the beach and going to

00:30:14.020 pools for spring break and living life as usual. And you'll remember that Democrats at the time in

00:30:20.680 February of 2020. They were really also like downplaying this. President Trump tried to shut

00:30:29.020 down travel from China in February of 2020. He was called a xenophobe. Nancy Pelosi got on TV

00:30:34.780 in San Francisco and said, come on down to Chinatown. You know, it's great. Everything is fine.

00:30:40.340 The New York City mayor, Bill de Blasio said the same thing on television, telling everyone to live

00:30:44.480 their lives as usual. Trump, of course, was called a fear monger. And I was worried. There were so many

00:30:50.320 mixed messages, so much unknown. And while I think my concern was understandable, I was also looking

00:30:57.960 back. The reason why I say it's cringe is because I was so annoying in my insistence that people,

00:31:03.240 you know, pause their lives and try to work from home without considering just briefly, but I did

00:31:10.540 suspend my consideration of this, that the vast majority of people don't have the ability to work

00:31:17.220 from home, totally ignoring the fact that most people just can't pause their lives because of

00:31:23.740 this potential threat and that people still needed to live their lives. So I apologize for at the very

00:31:29.220 beginning, again, like I would say March, beginning of March, 2020, apologize for being so ignorant of

00:31:36.700 all of this from the start. But it only took me a couple weeks to wise up, which I will say is better

00:31:44.960 than the couple years that it's taken a lot of people on, I would say the moderate left to now

00:31:50.680 are being like hailed as heroes because they're saying, wow, lockdowns for kids are bad. Kids need

00:31:55.640 to go back in school. Welcome to the party, pal. Yeah, we've been saying that for a long time.

00:32:00.720 It only took me a couple weeks to realize kind of what was going on, at least in the sense that this

00:32:07.800 was more political than it was about science. So we figured out that the death rate was much lower than

00:32:13.020 we originally thought. We heard that it was maybe 5%. And then it was obvious that the death rate for

00:32:17.740 people below 70 was well below 1%. And yet, even with that information, we saw states shutting down,

00:32:24.520 schools closing, small businesses going under, people effectively ordered in their homes indefinitely.

00:32:30.320 I saw the changing messages without any scientific explanation as to why. So first, we were told

00:32:37.380 that we're selfish for wearing masks. And actually, we were condescended and patronized

00:32:43.300 if we wanted to wear a mask. And Dr. Fauci in March of 2020 did that interview where he just

00:32:49.280 said it was so ridiculous to think that a mask could possibly stop infection. And we were told,

00:32:55.600 okay, you can wear a mask or you should wear a mask if you're sick, if you have symptoms.

00:32:59.700 Or if you're around someone for a long period of time, who is sick, then maybe a mask can be beneficial.

00:33:08.760 And that actually made some kind of logical sense. And then we got into this whole realm of asymptomatic

00:33:17.840 spread, which we now know, is not really spreading the transmission of the virus. And we were told that

00:33:25.300 everyone, no matter what, healthy people that you have to wear a mask, and that a cloth mask is this

00:33:29.780 life-saving device, that if you don't wear it, you're a grandma killer. I mean, it escalated so 0.94

00:33:34.940 quickly. It was the summer of 2020, that all of a sudden, it just changed on a dime. But we were never

00:33:40.980 told why. But the thing that really did it for me, I mean, there were lots of little things in between

00:33:47.060 that started chipping away at my trust, and therefore my concern, in a lot of ways. And

00:33:56.740 it was so the moment that I stopped listening completely to Dr. Fauci, or anyone in the public

00:34:06.760 health establishment about the dangers of COVID and the need to stay inside and skip vacation and to

00:34:11.860 forgo family gatherings for the holidays, was the reaction to George Floyd. When we saw those same

00:34:20.740 people praise everyone who was gathering in the street in the name of racial justice, and then claim

00:34:27.240 stunningly that these protests won't drive an outbreak, or that it's okay, because racism is also an

00:34:32.920 epidemic. While because of virtual learning, your kindergartner can no longer read, your artistic son is

00:34:39.300 regressing developmentally, your 80 year old mother with Alzheimer's is decaying alone in her 0.99

00:34:44.260 nursing home, your husband died alone in the hospital, your daughter missed her high school

00:34:47.920 graduation, your depressed nephew is spiraling into suicidal despair because of loneliness, while kids

00:34:53.960 who rely on schools for meals and welfare checks, or forced to spend all day in the homes of adults who

00:35:01.200 abuse and neglect them, while you have to close your doors, the doors of your restaurant that you've

00:35:06.340 been running for 30 years, while your small business is being shut down in the name of the

00:35:11.520 common good, and you're brought to financial ruin, people were setting buildings on fire and stealing

00:35:18.560 flat screens from Best Buy. And they were either ignored or they were patted on the back because of

00:35:24.560 social justice or some nonsense. And we were told that this is not going to negatively impact COVID at

00:35:32.500 all. That was when it was over for me. Not that I stopped believing in COVID. I never have denied its

00:35:38.240 existence or its potential severity. But that's when I realized that the response to this virus,

00:35:43.540 mostly from the left is political. And it's not about health. It's not about science. It has nothing

00:35:49.100 to do with that or evidence. And I guess I shouldn't be surprised that that anti science stance is coming

00:35:55.920 from the same people who think that a man can become a woman or that a baby inside the womb is just a

00:35:59.720 hump of cells unless you want it. I guess it shouldn't be that surprising to me. And as the

00:36:04.820 months have gone on, that realization has only been reaffirmed. When I saw nurses making TikTok

00:36:10.480 dancing videos as hospitals were supposedly overrun with dying patients, like that was a clue for me.

00:36:17.140 When I saw every single Democratic politician who has been pushing draconian restrictions,

00:36:21.900 Nancy Pelosi, Gretchen Whitmer, Muriel Bowser, Lori Lightfoot, Andrew Cuomo, Gavin Newsom,

00:36:26.600 Chuck Schumer, just to name a few, refused to abide by their own rules, going maskless,

00:36:32.100 gathering in crowds, doing what they wanted to do when they wanted to do it because they can,

00:36:37.400 and feeling no remorse for the lives, their fear mongering rhetoric and their policies have ruined.

00:36:42.560 When I saw Pfizer refuse to announce the development of their vaccine until after Biden won the election

00:36:47.640 for fear that it might help Donald Trump, even though Trump's Operation Warp Speed,

00:36:52.360 whatever you think about the vaccine, it is responsible for the development of it.

00:36:55.900 When Amazon only set up to help distribute the vaccine after Biden took office, when I saw

00:37:01.240 Kamala Harris, Joy Reid, and so many other Democratic commentators and politicians go from saying that

00:37:09.960 they would never trust the Trump vaccine to painting everyone who refuses the vaccine as a danger to

00:37:18.260 society. Like that was a clue for me that this is more about politics than about health.

00:37:24.340 When I noticed that somehow Biden was somehow being credited with the development of the vaccine that

00:37:31.000 he didn't have any part of. When I saw that Trump was blamed for every single solitary death of a

00:37:35.620 person who died with COVID while he was in office. But Biden, even though more people have died with it

00:37:40.480 under his watch, has been blamed for zero of them. When I've seen people's livelihoods taken away

00:37:47.240 because they won't take a vaccine that doesn't stop infection nor transmission. And for a disease

00:37:53.100 that has always had less than a one percent death rate and that millions of people have natural

00:37:57.720 immunity for, which has proved to be several times stronger than vaccine immunity. Yeah.

00:38:04.980 It's helped me realize that this is more about politics than health. People who were once called

00:38:10.740 frontline heroes have been fired for refusing to take this vaccine that they vaccine that they do not

00:38:17.520 want and in a lot of cases do not need. Meanwhile, now in hospitals across the country, they are so

00:38:25.220 understaffed that vaccinated health care workers who test positive are being told that they have to

00:38:31.260 come to work so long as their symptoms are mild, even though they can still pass the virus. So if you're

00:38:35.680 vaccinated while you're sick, you have to work. If you're unvaccinated while you're healthy, you're

00:38:42.320 fired. That doesn't seem to be scientifically or logically consistent. When I've seen parts of Canada and

00:38:50.340 Australia and European countries and states in the US become almost police states, beating peaceful

00:38:56.960 protesters, forcing people into quarantine facilities, unable to go outside without permission in

00:39:02.300 countries like in places like Australia, demanding patrons, including children show vaccine papers in

00:39:09.180 order to eat or look at art in a museum. That's true in New York City here. When I watched governments

00:39:15.500 around the world double down on the vaccine passports and the mask mandates and the lockdowns and the

00:39:21.080 closures, despite their case and death numbers showing absolutely no correlation whatsoever to these

00:39:26.540 measures, I realized that, yeah, this is a lot more about politics than it is about health. What I've seen

00:39:38.040 our own governments say in the midst of a food shortage and a supply chain crisis and inflation

00:39:43.260 that unvaccinated truckers who are alone in their trucks cannot cross over our borders to deliver supplies,

00:39:50.220 while at the same time taking illegal migrants from the southern border and flying them to who knows where in the

00:39:55.760 interior of the United States without a vaccine requirement for them, or in most cases, even a

00:40:00.600 testing requirement. Secretary Mayorkas, you probably saw this, it was a few months ago. He has repeatedly

00:40:06.600 said that a person being here illegally isn't grounds for deportation, but a trucker carrying necessary

00:40:11.500 goods from Canada to the United States who is not vaccinated against a virus with an over 99% survival rate

00:40:19.120 is. Like that's enough to keep them out. When I've seen the CDC kowtow to the demands of the teachers

00:40:28.160 unions, rather than following the science and recommending school closures and masks for children

00:40:33.560 as young as two years old, no other country in the world has been as strict about masking children as the

00:40:38.120 United States has. And based on no data, not Australia, not New Zealand, no European countries,

00:40:43.120 the WHO, even the WHO recommends against children wearing masks. And yet our agencies have doubled

00:40:49.840 down on it without providing any evidence that this is necessary or helpful. When it took a journalist,

00:40:56.680 David Zwick, to uncover the two big studies that the CDC published last year, the CDC said,

00:41:03.800 proved mask mandates in schools worked. He presented, or when they presented a summary of

00:41:09.860 their findings, they purposely excluded facts that they found within the study that undermined the

00:41:15.960 conclusions that they said that they came to about masks. We'll include his two articles in the

00:41:23.160 description of this episode to show you what I'm talking about. There's no data that the CDC has been

00:41:28.900 able to provide to show that mask mandates in schools are helpful at all. So young kids across

00:41:33.700 the country are still forced to wear masks. They're still forced to sit in classrooms watching

00:41:37.420 teachers whose smiles they can't see, whose expressions they can't discern, whose words

00:41:42.000 they can't make out. There are kids who are hard of hearing and kids who are forced to sit through

00:41:46.440 speech therapy lessons, who are unable to read the lips of their instructors. And for what? Not for

00:41:51.860 health, for politics. It's for politics. The Democrats that run the schools and the school districts in

00:41:58.880 Republican states like Florida, Texas, and Virginia are doubling down on mask mandates to play

00:42:04.480 politics. Meanwhile, accusing Republicans of playing politics with people's lives. It's the

00:42:11.280 exact opposite. It's always projection from the Democrats. Watch or listen to, depending on what

00:42:17.360 medium you're using right now, this British commentator who appeared on Great Britain News.

00:42:23.040 She was reacting to the news that the UK is rolling back COVID measures. So good for them. So no more

00:42:28.780 vaccine passports or mandates or mask mandates, which is incredible. She was a student when those

00:42:33.660 restrictions were being put in place, when some schools were requiring the masks for certain age

00:42:40.180 groups and were canceling the exams. Here's what she says to all of that.

00:42:45.940 It literally ruined our lives. And nobody spoke about it at all. And the commentators, they had union

00:42:55.060 reps come on and say, this is what the school should have put in place. And they didn't care about what

00:42:59.180 this did to us. And this is the first time I've ever spoken about it on TV because I knew that I'd cry

00:43:03.360 about it. But I literally watched and felt like my entire life was falling apart because of what this

00:43:09.040 government did to young people. And nobody cares. Not one person has cared about children in this

00:43:14.020 pandemic. They think, oh, let's throw. Why are we putting masks on them where people can go to

00:43:18.160 football stadiums and they can go to theatres and play Nadim Zahawi sitting there at the teaching

00:43:22.900 awards with no mask and yet we're disrespecting kids? This pandemic will finish. The damage this

00:43:28.560 has done for us is forever. I posted the full clip, which I think it's worth watching on my Instagram.

00:43:35.480 Totally unforgivable. It's totally unforgivable. Totally irreparable harm. Like these kids are not

00:43:41.780 going to get their childhoods back. And it's up to us as adults to do everything we can to give them

00:43:50.020 normalcy, to make sure they can go hang out with friends, to go to school without a mask on.

00:43:55.760 Unfortunately, there are too many parents who just aren't willing to do that. It's a shame. That's

00:44:00.020 advocating your responsibility to your kids. According to a Wall Street Journal article analyzing

00:44:05.420 recently released CDC data, quote, the proportion of children seeking emergency mental health services

00:44:11.160 who required immediate hospitalization, including for eating disorders, rose 75% in 2020 compared to

00:44:19.180 2019. Suicide attempts increased by 51% for girls. Wow. Versus 3.7% for boys. I would say that

00:44:27.140 disparity is probably due to social media. In California, 134 people under the age of 18 died

00:44:33.580 by suicide in 2020 versus only 23 people in the same age group that died with COVID.

00:44:39.500 And from the teachers unions and Democratic politicians, we keep hearing, the kids are

00:44:45.940 resilient. The kids are resilient. It's fine. No, they're not. They just don't have the ability

00:44:50.760 to articulate what's wrong. And they're trusting the adults in their lives to do what's best for

00:44:54.820 them because that's what they've been told that they should do. And they really don't have any other

00:44:58.260 choice because they have no power. And so many of them have been taught that questioning masks or

00:45:03.160 mandates is akin to being a bigot or a conspiracy theorist. You're not loving your neighbor. And who wants

00:45:09.040 to stand out when your biggest concern as an adolescent is to fit in? It's absolutely

00:45:13.840 unforgivable what adults, mainly in the Democratic Party, but not completely, what adults have done

00:45:21.680 to children over the past couple of years. As we say so often in this podcast, in so many different

00:45:26.460 ways, it's obvious that our society hates children. Whether it's abortion, whether it's radical gender

00:45:34.040 theory and hormone experimentation, whether it's these draconian restrictions that have done nothing

00:45:40.380 to protect their health and have only harmed them over the past couple of years, kids are always laid

00:45:45.560 on the altar of adults' whims. And it's typically progressive adults' whims. I do not forgive the

00:45:54.780 people that did this to children, that are still doing this to children. You know, school districts in

00:46:01.960 Flint, Michigan, that I think it's 90% minority kids, most of them are very vulnerable, impoverished.

00:46:12.440 They are switching to virtual learning indefinitely. Kids can't learn virtually. And what are parents

00:46:19.780 supposed to do if the parents work? I mean, who is this protecting? And this is why, by the way,

00:46:28.000 people prioritize teachers getting vaccinated first. I mean, what was the point of that?

00:46:34.100 If kids are still going to be sacrificed, and they're going to be pushed to the side because

00:46:38.760 of some paranoid teachers and some cruel teachers unions. I mean, who is this helping? I don't forgive

00:46:45.760 that. I'm sorry. I can forgive you for any loss I may have incurred, but I'm not going to forgive.

00:46:51.840 Right now, I'll say, I cannot forgive the people who have done this to kids, especially after knowing

00:47:00.380 everything we know about how virtually harmless this virus is to their physical health. I cannot

00:47:08.480 forgive them right now for what they've done to our country's most vulnerable people, namely children.

00:47:14.220 If there was any justice, these people would all be held accountable. I'm talking about the

00:47:18.840 politicians. I'm talking about the people in the media. I'm talking about the public health

00:47:22.060 bureaucrats that have advocated for lockdowns and have advocated for virtual learning that have

00:47:26.920 advocated for masks for very young children. That I'm talking about all of the teachers,

00:47:33.600 all of the teachers unions who have punished and segregated kids who are not vaccinated or who

00:47:39.380 are not wearing masks, all of the teachers and the principals and the administrators that,

00:47:44.020 as we talked about a couple of weeks ago, have forced kids to eat outside and 38 degree

00:47:48.160 weather and not talk to each other for fear of spreading the virus. I don't forgive those

00:47:52.120 people. Not right now. I just don't. And if there were any justice, like I said, all of those people

00:47:58.720 would be held accountable as well as every single person in power who has tried to cover up early

00:48:03.480 treatment protocols being used effectively by doctors around the world, demonizing extremely safe

00:48:09.800 options. Again, for politics, people's lives are being taken by politics, maybe even more so

00:48:17.540 than by COVID. And people wonder why there's hesitancy. People wonder why there's a mistrust

00:48:25.760 in the media and of the CDC and of our politicians. People wonder why millions of more people listen

00:48:31.440 to Joe Rogan and the conversations that he is having than CNN. Because people know that something

00:48:37.600 is not right. People's trust has been chipped away at over the past couple of years, maybe not as

00:48:43.540 significantly as mine has, maybe not as early as mine was, but people are waking up. Yes, it might

00:48:51.000 have taken them a while. And I don't know what took them so long. But I do think the tide could be

00:48:57.480 shifting. I do want to know that there are thousands and thousands and thousands of peaceful protesters

00:49:04.440 in Canada that are trying to push back in a civil way and a hopefully effective way against these

00:49:14.100 mandates and against vaccine passports. There is a convoy that is traveling, I believe it's from

00:49:21.200 Vancouver to Ottawa. I think that's the direction that it's going. And in protest of the mandate for

00:49:31.600 truckers. And so I'm glad that people are pushing back. People have been pushing back for a long

00:49:36.940 time. There have been mass peaceful protests throughout Europe, in Australia, obviously in

00:49:42.620 the United States, in Canada. I would say keep pushing because we've seen in the UK they're rolling

00:49:48.360 back those restrictions. Praise God. I pray that it stays that way. And in some states that needs to

00:49:53.580 happen here. I mean, we'll see with the midterms coming up. Democrats know that their COVID policy,

00:49:59.000 it's just not popular across the board in general. People are over it, especially for their kids. And

00:50:07.240 that doesn't mean that they don't care about people dying. But they realize that there again,

00:50:11.360 there's more to life than being protected from a virus, that you're going to have to learn to live

00:50:16.380 with it at some point. And hopefully the fact that Omicron is less severe, it hopefully it means

00:50:23.280 that it's going to continue to wane in severity. And it's just something that we deal with.

00:50:29.000 Every season that people learn how to, you know, how to how to cope with. That's not ideal. But

00:50:37.080 again, there are more to people's lives, there are more to human beings than just their physical

00:50:41.980 health. We are whole people. As we have said, that is something I have been at the refrain that I have

00:50:47.820 said, since March of 2020, we are whole people. So we don't just have physical needs, we also have

00:50:53.380 mental needs, we have emotional needs, we have spiritual needs, all those things have to be met in

00:50:58.760 order to be healthy. Okay. And so if you are just now waking up, welcome. No hard feelings.

00:51:08.440 I will, I will say. But for those of you who haven't, who because of your fear mongering,

00:51:15.620 and maybe your policymaking, you continue to sacrifice the well being of children. There are

00:51:21.640 very hard feelings. I'll just be honest there. There are very hard feelings. Okay, a little bit

00:51:28.180 more, maybe this will just wake you up. And I just want to talk about a little bit of data. And then

00:51:32.780 we'll close this out. So just some data that has been perpetually ignored, which, again, goes back to

00:51:41.460 why people are so hesitant to trust the people in charge who say that they care about our health.

00:51:46.020 So I've told you guys about Ian MSC, who I follow on Twitter, he just compiles the data from the

00:51:53.620 publicly available databases. And so from the CDC, from the New York Times, from our world in data,

00:52:01.300 and he just compares and contrasts the states and the countries, and their policies and their case

00:52:08.140 rates. And so he has one graph, and I'll pull it up. And you can see it if you're watching on YouTube,

00:52:13.140 and you'll just have to trust me, I guess, if you're listening. But this is from the CDC. And so he's

00:52:22.000 tracking this from October to January, states that have a mask mandate and states that have no mask

00:52:29.740 mandate, the daily case rate. And what you'll see is that it follows the exact same trajectory. So if you're

00:52:38.600 looking at all of the states that have a mask mandate, all of the states that don't have a mask

00:52:43.960 mandate, actually, right now, the cases are higher in states that do have a mask mandate than those

00:52:50.680 that don't have a mask mandate. But throughout over the past few months, it's been the exact same.

00:52:57.300 It's been the exact same. There has been no significant difference in case numbers between

00:53:03.540 the states that have mask mandates and between the states that don't. And he just tweets this stuff

00:53:08.600 like, multiple times a day, the data is abundantly clear, the mask mandate, the vaccine passports,

00:53:15.600 the vaccine mandates throughout the world are not corresponding with a reduction in cases,

00:53:23.000 or even a reduction in hospitalizations. Like I said, this January, highest hospitalization rate of the

00:53:30.100 entire pandemic, after the vaccine mandates in certain sectors of our society, and having the majority 0.93

00:53:38.060 of our country vaccinated highest hospitalization rate throughout the two years, tell me how that

00:53:44.940 makes sense. I really don't understand it. So you want to know why people have hesitancy, you want to

00:53:50.000 know why people don't trust the media, why people don't trust our public health bureaucracy. I mean,

00:53:54.560 this really does, it spells trouble. If there is another pandemic, please, God, no. But if there is one

00:54:02.420 day, no one's gonna, no one's gonna trust it and say that does have a death rate of 25%. No one's gonna

00:54:09.300 believe it. And that is the media's fault. That is the CDC's fault. That's Dr. Fauci's fault. They lied and

00:54:16.080 they ignored and they politicized for so long. Of course, no one trusts anything anymore. That's a

00:54:22.740 problem. Not that I think that I want us to have, you know, all of our hope and all of our faith in our

00:54:27.440 institutions, but it would help if we were able to trust the sources of information and science that

00:54:32.640 we have. But unfortunately, unfortunately, we're not. Maybe there's some positivity in that, though.

00:54:39.680 People are researching, people are reading, people are starting to think critically, people are starting

00:54:45.280 to question, people are kind of starting to mistrust both political parties. There's some new data out

00:54:53.280 from Pew that's showing that I'm fine with that. I would like people to realize that our politicians

00:54:59.620 are not our saviors and that we shouldn't be looking to them for moral guidance. So maybe that's

00:55:05.780 a silver lining in all of this. But it's time to wake up. Time to turn the lights on. No more of this.

00:55:13.020 You have to continue to double down on what is true, especially for the sake of your kids. So let this

00:55:18.620 renew your strength in standing up for your kids when it comes to these mask mandates in schools and

00:55:22.720 these restrictions and virtual learning and all of that. It is your responsibility is our

00:55:27.120 responsibility as adults to keep on pushing the truth for their sake and the sake of the most

00:55:31.840 vulnerable. All right. We'll be back here tomorrow with more good stuff and I'll see you guys then.
