A lot of them that are really using the same playbook as COVID, saying that it's another way to control the global population.

Yes, the horse deworming drug as a treatment.

It's back.

It's back, with no evidence, obviously, whatsoever to back this claim.

This has really been spreading all over the internet and all of the usual places.

It's taking on a really interesting life that while the COVID conspiracy theories very much did as well, something that's a little bit interesting and a little bit different, at least in this very specific moment, is you're not actually, we don't have a Fauci anymore.

That's going, no, no, guys, this is not what's going on.

The CDC and HHS are not built for that anymore.

Like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., our lovely HHS secretary, is not getting on like a public radio program every day.

He's not sitting in on the news going like, don't worry, here are the steps that we're taking, X, Y, and Z. So this lack of communication is

gives so much space for conspiracy theories to grow.

And experts that David spoke to were just like, this is obviously going to continue with a lack of information.

Even if other infectious disease experts are going, this is not COVID, like we're slightly more ready for this, this is going to be okay.

But that gap is huge.

People are selling, like, $325 contagion emergency kits, Brian.

Like, this is... I'm sorry, that $325, that's what's going to be what saves you.

And there's something so upsetting about that, too, because, like, you have...

At the root of so many conspiracy theories is, like, unfortunately, like, very understandable, like, kernels, if not of truth, but, like, of fear, right?

So, like, of people being like, I already am having health issues.

The idea that, like, the government is not telling me the truth and not sharing that information.
