data and the politics than most people. Yeah here's what he tweeted and this I laughed for like a long time over this. He goes 54 percent of people who have already been vaccinated are still very or somewhat worried about catching COVID and but only 29 percent of people who refuse to get vaccinated are very or somewhat worried about catching COVID. And then here's his punchline. Great job everyone…

what I'm saying is that and this is just speculation right so don't take this as anything you should believe. More of a question I guess. Even question if you were to let's say hypothetically you vaccinated everybody over 70 and everybody over 50 who's obese and I think we could do that right? That or at least you get almost all of them. Everybody else could still get the virus and it could rage through the rest of the community but there wouldn't be any super spreaders right? How fast does this virus spread if you could snap your fingers and the only kind of spread was the one to one type and that's it and the person's getting it never got sick because let's say they're young or whatever they are? I don't know that 70 is necessary. I think it's more like getting all the super spreaders and then maybe it takes care of itself. I don't know. Just a question.

I have a second question. Is there anything like micro immunity? So we've heard that the amount of the viral load you get has a lot to do with how sick you get you know that plus your natural health. So what would happen to a perfectly healthy person who was exposed to just a little bit of virus? Could they beat the virus without getting symptoms and become sort of micro immune? And you get to herd immunity just because they were exposed but maybe they don't even test. Could you have could you test negative for COVID but have antibodies? Is that a thing? I don't know.

And if you can't get COVID outdoors and we don't think you get it on airplanes enough to stop flights where the hell are you getting it? You know I have this theory that I've never said before let's say hypothesis that it's a sexually transmitted problem. I'm just going to put that out there. I just have a theory that it might be sexually transmitted. I'm only kidding about that but when you see the kids are not having bad problems and the seniors are there's actually a there is rampant sex in old folks homes and nursing homes. A lot of people don't know that but there is pretty rampant unprotected sex amon
