When it comes to killing machines we’re an atomic clock for everything else we’re a sundial in the fog after 9 11 we could have done what israel would have done hunted down the people actually involved and reinforce the cockpit doors on planes precision done who wants ice cream
But now we spent trillions attacking the wrong country and creating a giant homeland security bureaucracy we’ve now spent decades in airport lines taking off our shoes while tsa agents pat down babies and grandmas they say if you see something say something i see us afraid to identify threats by likelihood
And bleeding ourselves dry just like bin laden wanted us to when people ask me why are you so skeptical of what the medical establishment tells us i say because i’ve seen them react to a virus before by 1987 cdc officials pretty much knew how hiv was spreading and who was in danger
Now of course there’s no moral dimension to this despite what pat robertson used to say gay sex is just as loving natural and cellulatory as the other kind but science can be arbitrary and instead of being precise and focusing on who should be protected we launched a fear campaign about how
Aids was going to explode into the heterosexual community oprah winfrey summed up what people were hearing when she said research studies now project one in five heterosexuals could be dead from aids by 1990 but that didn’t happen and the upshot of bad information was that in the late 1980s low-risk
Americans were swamping testing facilities and diverting our attention and energy away from the truly at risk new york in 2020 learned the hard way how much better precision would have been in prioritizing protecting the nursing homes contrary to popular lore covet is not russian roulette of course any virus anything
Can kill anyone at any time but we know who coveted kills 75 of cove deaths are people 65 and older 98 to 99 are unvaccinated 78 who’ve died or been hospitalized were overweight if you’re obese and unvaccinated or 85 and still crowd surfing at music festivals
Yes this will likely go badly for you but at some point but at some point that has to stop being my responsibility doesn’t it make more sense to focus on helping the vulnerable stay safe and let the rest of us go back to living normal lives [Applause] there’s always going to be another
Variant we can’t go on forever in permanent hair on fire cancel christmas hand jobs through a hazmat suit freak the out mode i haven’t been to my office in two years that ficus needs water [Applause] president biden’s handling of the pandemic started off polling pretty well but now a majority disapprove
It’s time to do what a growing list of countries have done and announced we’re going back to something more like normal beginning with recognizing that what we’re doing to kids is unnecessary and horrible and i don’t even like kids but making kids who have a coveted survivability rate of 99.98
Mask up like bandits unfortunately the thing that’s getting stolen is their education their sanity and their social skills a study this week from a professor at johns hopkins concluded that the lockdowns we all suffered through had little impact in reducing covet deaths okay that’s kind of a big one to get wrong
Last july president biden said you’re not going to get coveted if you have these vaccinations well i already knew that was wrong then and now we all do the former director of the cdc robert redfield believes covet originated in a lab and now our intelligence agencies agree it
Might have but for months on social media it was banned to even discuss it look i’m not saying the medical establishment isn’t trying to figure out or that they’re corrupt although there is some of that but [Applause] but how about just wrong wrong a lot wrong about hiv wrong about
Lockdowns drawing about kids wrong about how you couldn’t get it if you were vaccinated remember washing our packages and there’s never been any research showing that outdoor transmission is likely or common yet l.a county says we’re still supposed to mask up for big outdoor events like we’ll be at the super bowl well
Supposed to it’s all theater watching athletes mix it up on the court and then mask on the sideline not being able to touch a menu but watching them touch my food [Laughter] masterless at dinner while sitting but not standing and by the way if applebee’s really cared about our health they would make
Us cover our mouths after the food arrived i i’m just asking how much wrong do you get to be while still holding the default setting for people who represent the science eat eggs then don’t then do take aspirin then don’t then do the food pyramid really
Bread and milk every day okay you do you [Applause] 15 years ago they were recommending trans fats now they’re illegal just like almost 100 prescription drugs which were once called safe and effective and then yanked off the market because they were not it reminds me of how the republicans are constantly doing
Traitorous things like trying to steal elections and inviting the russians into the oval office and somehow are still known as the party of patriotism [Applause] we’ve had this problem in medicine for a long time the same people who in private care always say get a second opinion want to allow only one
In the public debate but plainly the medical industrial complex has not earned the right to claim monopoly status on information about this virus or medicine in general yes free speech has allowed people to hear misinformation sometimes and a lot of it was yours you
