Yeah, I mean, I think that... Oh, go ahead, Vanessa.

I actually did like one book of Foucault's, but maybe we can defend this later. He wrote this book called The Birth of the Clinic, which I read early as a medical student, which is worth… every doctor's, it makes, it's a little humbling actually. Like it makes, it puts the doctor's, he calls it the gaze, the doctor's vision of how they view patients.

He puts it in this like historical context that I think every doctor should see. The broader view, I don't think I can defend, but that book, I think it'd be fun to have a little discussion over.

I mean, I think the idea that we could... essentially lock ourselves away, essentially treat humans as if they were like lab rats. If you want to keep lab rats from infecting each other, you just put them in cages far away from each other, right? That's the premise of the lockdown. It seems so intuitive that would work. The problem is like that intuition is just wrong.

Human societies are not like rat cages, right? Human societies are very complicated things. And the idea of isolation being healthy, you're absolutely right, Dr. Drew. I mean, it's crazy to think that isolation is healthy. It's one of the worst things you can do to human beings is to isolate them. And to have that as the epitome of good health policy for a full two years makes no sense.

The public did not know that there were prominent scientists that disagreed with the lockdown policies.

They wanted to create an illusion of consensus. This hurt a lot of people.

It's a brilliant movie. It's absolutely brilliant. Even though I'm in it, it's a brilliant movie. So that's how good it is. Some of the people that you saw on the screen there were Canadian doctors that faced tremendous persecution because they spoke up against lockdowns. The persecution, it happened in the United States, but it was, I think, even worse against dissenters in Canada.

And the story it tells is absolutely... I mean, there's this one story where I was in tears about this boy, this teenage boy who had meningitis, bacterial meningitis. The parents took their kid to the ER. They couldn't be with him because of the COVID protocols. They sent him home.
