e caffeine to those antibodies. Go. Can you feel them being a little bit more active? I think you can. I think you can. Goosebumps. Wow. You can feel those antibodies now waking up. It's true. They go to sleep at night, but now they're awake. Well, here's the biggest news. Looks like it's gonna rain. Now that doesn't seem like big news to you wherever you live. Well, I live in California, and it…

Do we have any? Yeah, oh sure, there might be some mudslides. Pessimists. Pessimists like, "How about mudslides?" Yeah, there might be mudslides, but I'd rather have water.
Well, here's the fake news. You ready for the fake news? CNN has a good dose of fake news. I'll read what they wrote, and then you tell me what is the fake part. Okay, what is the fake part of this news?
CNN says a booster dose of the Pfizer blah blah coronavirus vaccine was found to have a high efficacy. Can we all — I gotta take a little aside road here. Can we all agree on one thing? I know there's a lot of division in the country, might even be a little division on this live stream, but if there's one thing we can all agree on, please, it's that pronouncing the word "efficacy" is really fun. It makes you feel good when you say it. It makes you feel smart. Try it. Try it at home. Just say it out loud: efficacy. Yeah. Yeah. Did you feel it? It's not like other words. It's fun to say, and it makes you feel like you're really on top of your game if you can pronounce "efficacy" nicely. You look like you're, well, practically a scientist now. You're not any virologist probably, but you just learned to say "efficacy" just right.

A booster dose of the Pfizer blah blah coronavirus vaccine was found to have a high efficacy of 95.6 percent, and that's in the phase three trial. And the company announced that the efficacy was consistent irrespective of age, sex, race, ethnicity, and comorbid conditions.
Oh, I like this new word, "comorbid conditions," because I've been saying "comorbidities." Comorbidities is a cool word. It's no "efficacy," I think we can agree on that, but I like saying it. So I'm going to say "comorbid conditions" now to make me sound smart.
All right, what's the fake news? What's the fake news? Anybody? Anybody? What's the fake news? I'm going to take it as true. Let's see. I will stipulate that the 95.6 efficacy

is accurate, but what's the fake part? Where's the fake news? Come on, you know. You know where it is. Nobody? Really? I thought this would be easier. All right, let me tell you. It's not the day one efficacy that anybody cares about. Am I wrong? Who is really obsessing about day one efficacy? It's not a day one efficacy story. It's a how fast does it wear off story. Am I wrong? The story is how…
