The Joe Rogan Experience
#2198 - Bret Weinstein

The only way you're going to develop new novel medications that are effective is commerce. You're going to have to have people profiting off of them, which is why they fund them. It costs a lot of money under the current climate. If you have FDA approval, it costs billions of dollars to achieve that. So you need people to be able to make money.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2198 - Bret Weinstein

But isn't people making money off these medications the real reason why stuff like this happens in the first place?

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2198 - Bret Weinstein

When you say rare, what percentage do you think it is? 1%.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2198 - Bret Weinstein

Seed oil. It's a fruit oil.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2198 - Bret Weinstein

Well, that seems reasonable.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2198 - Bret Weinstein

Yeah, I know. Isn't that funny? That was what was hilarious to me during the pandemic was people that were clearly not physically healthy saying that the only way that you could be healthy was to take this medication. That, to me, was bizarre. It was so bizarre because they weren't even considering taking care of their body.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2198 - Bret Weinstein

They were only considering taking this medication as if taking care of your body was foolish. Right. Which is so weird. Like when I had Hotez on, he was talking about his diet. I remember that. He's like, what do you eat? Do you ever work out? He eats junk food. He eats junk food and blasts himself with vaccines. Yeah. It's nuts. It's nuts.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2198 - Bret Weinstein

Yeah. I mean, just the contradictory statements over the years and his stance on vaccines when Trump was president, his stance on the mRNA platform when Trump was president versus the immediate 180 that he took once Biden took an office.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2198 - Bret Weinstein

I think it's two. It's number two. It's the latter. With a little bit of number one that is necessary in order to be number two. I think if you're a part of a system and it's really important that you support all the people above you in the system and that you all work together and you're a good company man, you'll find profound ways to justify the things that you're saying.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2198 - Bret Weinstein

And especially if you can use some science-y kind of talk and talk about diseases and inflate people dying and inflate numbers and inflate this and that. Yeah.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2198 - Bret Weinstein

Which is why they attacked me so hard. They don't want someone healthy. Get over it real quick and say, hey, you know me. I work out all the time. By the way, got over it real quick. That's how I did it.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2198 - Bret Weinstein

Absolutely. Yeah, there was no comforting people, no telling people, listen, it's not nearly as bad as we thought it was going to be. You're going to be fine. They didn't want to contribute to vaccine hesitancy because they wanted that money to keep rolling in. And the number, I mean, just the shift in that, imagine if they did.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2198 - Bret Weinstein

Imagine if right away they said, you know what, this is not nearly as bad as we thought it was going to be, the way Bill Gates talks about it now. It actually mostly affected older people and people who are very vulnerable. Those are the people that really affected it.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2198 - Bret Weinstein

The amount of profit they would have made would have been significantly less, and the enthusiasm for the platform would have been significantly less.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2198 - Bret Weinstein

But it's also the weird thing was, especially now because of Zuckerberg's recent statement, we now know for sure that what he was saying was that they were pressuring them to remove COVID-19 information that turned out to be true. So the government was involved in this whole thing because the government was probably being pressured by the pharmaceutical drug companies.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2198 - Bret Weinstein

So what's worst case scenario in your mind? With all the competing factors that are happening right now, what's worst case scenario?

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2198 - Bret Weinstein

And what would be the way they would go about doing that?

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2198 - Bret Weinstein

The owner of Telegram. Yeah.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2198 - Bret Weinstein

The First Amendment's dangerous. The Constitution's dangerous. Don't you see? Is it dangerous? They pose the question.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2198 - Bret Weinstein

Yeah.
