comedians who had all made stereotypical jokes about Jewish people. And I said, well, what are we going to do? Are you going to send the police after them, the college campus police, if any of them were to appear on campus? So no, it's just a terrible idea. But it comes out of people, rah, rah, rah, look at me, I support, and I'm against these other people. And

but without being very thoughtful about the First Amendment. And my fear is we become like Europe, where if you say anything about the Holocaust or if you say Johnny who thinks he's Susie is still Johnny, they'll put you in jail for all of that stuff. So they are doing that in Canada. They're doing that in Europe. And I don't that's not the kind of country I want to live in.

So I think really even speech that we despise has to be protected precisely because that's the nature of the First Amendment is to protect all speech.

I wrote a book, Deception, the great COVID cover-up about this. Gain-of-function research is research where you take a virus and then you adapt that virus to make it either more transmissible or more lethal in humans. And we have been funding this. Anthony Fauci approved the funding in Wuhan, China, but also around the world. There are dozens of labs.

Across the United States, there are dozens of labs doing this type of research. It's very, very dangerous. As dangerous or as bad as COVID was, and you saw how we reacted to COVID, 0.3% of Americans died. That's about a million. So I'm not downplaying it. I'm just saying 0.3%. There are viruses in the lab that can kill 50%. but they're not very transmittable from human to human.

So for example, avian flu, which you've heard a lot about, is dangerous, but you mostly get it directly from the birds. So people who handle chickens or handle birds have gotten this in the United States, a handful. But they don't transmit it to another human because it's an animal virus and doesn't transmit very well.

I think to take avian flu, though, and work on it in the lab and pass it through animals over and over again to adapt it so it attaches and infects humans is a death wish. I think it's because accidents happen. Even the safest labs have accidents.
