You know, all these independent outlets, they could scream to high heavens, but no one would see it. It would be like, you know... No, it's totally right. Right.

No, but the fact that the mechanics, they were trying to install the mechanisms by which all this stuff would have been locked down. And we saw during the COVID period how effective it was. I mean, look, the new head of the NIH, Jay Bhattacharya- We mostly didn't hear about his research, right?

Yeah, I know. Isn't that amazing? I'm kidding! Yeah. He goes from being censored to being the head of NIH. It's an amazing transition, but the thing that's so extraordinary about it is America would have had a completely different idea about lockdowns if they had understood...

how infectious the disease was, how fruitless it was to try to physically prevent people from, you know, getting infected, and how unlikely that was to succeed, and how, you know, compared to all the other negatives that could have happened from keeping people at home and everything like that, like, they wouldn't have made that decision going forward, but they were able to effectively suppress

that point of view which is really scary right i mean there was real research out there and most people didn't see it i didn't see it until a year and a half later no i know right no so uh and that's that's what could happen that's what could have happened with all this stuff so but i know that you without getting too specific but you're you know you're in touch with doctors like on a personal level like you know doctors
