Yeah, two things. First, let me go back to what you said about the Vaccine Act. Prior to 86, there were seven
think seven six or seven vaccines in the childhood schedule it then exploded to 70 plus over the over the course of the next several decades and i just want people to understand how profitable it is for a pharmaceutical maker to to do this they don't have to advertise they don't have a sales and marketing budget it's part of the schedule and it's the margins on these products are huge

And even though it's only given to the children that are born, it's a steady, high-profit business. And it's sickening that we have 70-plus of these now. Back to the removal of the pharmaceutical ads. I think we're one of two countries, us and New Zealand, that allow it. That's correct. Yeah. And let's be honest. No one purchases a drug because it's advertised on TV.

The doctors usually are using their knowledge to then give out a drug for whatever symptoms you have.

It's basically hush money to the networks to not investigate anything about large pharma. It's hush money. I think Roger Ailes even admitted as much to Bobby Kennedy in a meeting, don't you ever bring up vaccines on my show. And this needs to go. It literally – and I think I heard some statistics recently that –

Some of these networks get 40% of their ad revenue from the pharmaceutical industry, and that needs to change.

Well, it's a good news, bad news situation. Let's start with what happened and where we are now. So, you know, in 2020, we had 500,000 excess deaths due to quote unquote COVID. You can make an argument that had a lot to do with the hospital protocols and procedures and denial of early treatment. That's not my area of expertise, but a lot of people have talked about that.

So mostly old people died in 2020. Then a similar amount of excess deaths in 2021, 500,000. But there was a huge mix shift from old to young. And that for me was a smoking gun. We had about 124,000 people die ages 16 to 64 in 2020. And then that went up to 235,000 in 2021. So, you know, for me, I'm not a doctor, but I don't know any virologists that will say that

decreasing variant strength is going to, you know, disproportionately affect young people, especially boys. So excess mortality peaked at 40%. In the working age population in 2021, there was the classic Society of Actuaries study that showed in their group life policies in the third quarter of 2021, millennials, specifically 25 through 44, experienced excess mortality in that quarter.

I surmise that it was likely due to the pull forward effect of the vaccine mandates. Those who had been on the sidelines had to get a job or lose their job. event pulled forward. So the good news is over the last, you know, three, four years, excess mortality is down to about 10% run rate. Now, that's good news, but 10% steady state is a disaster in the long term.
