Went to BYU. I'm a self-made data guy, though. I've been a chief marketing officer, chief data officer of several companies, but I've worked mostly in politics. I do data analytics and AI stuff for a bunch of firms around the country here. My day job, though, is doing political fundraising for campaigns up and down the sphere. And I always have to say this. I apologize.
My main medium for raising funds is over your text messages. You guys are great. Thank you for responding so much to those political text messages. They work. They work. I hear laughter in the background.
Well, look, this is the neat thing. The data is all there. We've been foiling it for three or four years, and we're hoping that once someone gets in there, we'll be able to open that up and see it. I'll give you just one stat, and this is more of a political stat because I think it's very instructive. The CMS, which is the body that oversees the policy for Medicaid, Medicare,
reimbursement that's going to be that's going to be dr oz coming up right by the way exactly so too i think that one for example they had a policy that on march 22nd 2022 was the last day that you could submit reimbursements from a hospital to the cms to hhs for reimbursement for a covid death or a covid sickness otherwise and if you look at the charts on covid
All of a sudden, deaths from hospitalizations dropped completely off a cliff after March 22nd, 2022. And all I would say is when the government came in and closed the most profitable parts of a hospital, Any good administrator would do everything in their power to make sure they got reimbursed from the government for everything they could.
Now, my team had the opportunity, thanks to Dr. DeSantis, I'd say it's Governor DeSantis and to a few other people there in Florida, to examine 800 death certificates directly with personal information left out. We got those death certificates.
We were able to look at part one and part two, and we were able to determine that at least half of this stuff was just lazily printed out and put a COVID mark on there. And we saw things like, you know, gunshot wound and broken femur of a COVID death, right? And so I'm not saying there's anything nefarious going on.
I think the incentivization to keep hospitals open was basically created an atmosphere where everything was marked as COVID. And as you can tell, you know, when you have a COVID test that can pick up a COVID infection of five days or 75 days, then they're going to have a lot of COVID infections there.
It was all set up and it's nothing, I don't think, conspiratorial, nefarious, but in the end, it didn't help the numbers at all. And I'm hoping we'll have some clarity on that.
Yeah, look, this is a difficult situation. You can see as a demographer, I can look over to Japan, for example, and the worst case scenario is coming out of med school in Japan and thinking, oh, I want to be an OBGYN. No chance because they're not having any kids over there, right? And we're going to be suffering the same sort of thing here where...
What is the incentive for anyone to come out of med school and say, oh, I don't know, I'll go to children's pulmonary medicine, right? It's such a speciality. And then in the end, no one's having any kids. So what am I going to do there? It's a difficult prospect for doctors. We've got to have more kids. I've got nine of them, Drew. You want a couple here? And then I think in the end, we'll see.
Wow. Holy moly. Brady Bunch style. Brady Bunch style.
I have a newborn. He's just a year old this next week.
Every year.
Well, I'm hoping that they get in there. It's going to take a little bit. My wife, Jenny, who I really do pride in keeping me sane and everything else, says just take your time, have some patience. I'm not going to be going to D.C. anytime soon, but we'll see in the future what transpires. We would love to help in any sort of way we can.
We'll be on the sidelines rooting people on and getting them through the commission process. They've been nominated now. Let's get them confirmed and see what's going on here.
Yeah, sure. Yeah, there it is. Gone Viral, How COVID Drove the World Insane. Yeah, gone viral. COVID drove the world insane. We did really well on our first printing there. And let's get to a second one. I'd love to see that. It gives you basically just a lowdown on everything you want to see. That litany that I rattled off at the beginning of the show there is all there in the book there.
And I think it's a good memory. It drives people crazy to revisit this stuff. You'll take crazy pills thinking, what did we do? But in the end, I think we'll be better for it.
Thanks, Dr. Drew. We'll see you soon.
