ou see somebody say I'm going to compare one country no matter what country to these three or four or five countries, you can just forget what they're saying because nothing they say is useful. If out of all the countries in the world, I don't know 180 whatever there are, if you're going to take six of them and say I can tell something from these six, that's probably not true. It's probably cherry-picking. If you would pick other countries you might get a different result. So first of all anytime you see a coronavirus graph with three or five countries, don't believe anything you see on that graph. That is cherry-picked data. It might be true but you shouldn't assume it's true because it's non-credible by design. Just a few countries.

But here was in part of his Twitter thread he had this little throwaway line. He said, and yes other Nordic countries did better than the Swedes. What? Wait a minute. His point was that Sweden is doing a great job without the lockdowns and the masks. But he compared it to UK, France and Sweden. But then in the tweet he throws in this line, yes other Nordic countries did better than the Swedes but that is not proof lockdowns work because the other Nordic countries did the lockdowns. It may just be proof that the Swedes should have protected their nursing homes better maybe.

Here's my take. In other words the Nordic countries, the ones that supplement with vitamin D all year round because they don't get enough vitamin D. So apparently in Sweden it's typical to take fish oil on a daily basis to get your vitamin D. Is that true in the UK? Do people in the UK supplement with vitamin D? Don't think so. France? Nope. Spain? Don't think so. So here's what I see. I see that when Yianan Weiss was trying to make the case that the masks and lockdowns don't help that much because Sweden is doing well, that's not the story I saw. I looked at his own tweet thread and said there's more evidence in your own tweet thread that the vitamin D levels are the main thing. Because if it's true that it doesn't matter if you have a mask or a lockdown or not, you get wildly different results. But that the people who do well all seem to be the vitamin D supplement people. Is that a coincidence? It could be.

So the first thing you should say to yourself is, yes Scott that could be a coincidence. It totally could be a coincidence. But what I'm saying is that all of the other correlations or causations that you imagine you see, don't believe them. They're just not credible. Is the vitamin D correlation incredible? No, not based on the little bit of data that I just mentioned. It's not credible at all. But it's not less credible than the idea that masks and lockdowns don't work and that Sweden is telling you that.

All right, how many of our stories today, stories in the news, are based on just lies? All right let's go through them. So we've got the coronavirus situation which you know that that's been filled with lies. We've got the Russia coll
