win. Because there's something in his voice or his presentation or his confidence or I don't know what it is. I don't exactly know what it is, but there's definitely such a thing as command voice, wouldn't you say? Nobody's going to argue with that, right? There is such a thing as command voice, and women have it too, right? It's not a gender thing. Women can have a command voice. If you've ever worked for a really good female boss, they have command voice. It's just the female version of it, but it's command voice.

And I thought Youngkin had command voice, and I thought McAuliffe was weak there. So when I heard it I was like, whoa, that doesn't even sound close to me. It looks like one good candidate and one not so good, just on that 15 seconds of voice. And I said to myself, I think this guy's gonna win. And I wasn't even following the race. Command presence. That's I guess the better phrase for it, right?

All right, we have some more fun stuff going on. AP did a fact check today. See if you agree with this fact check. What do you think AP says? Posts continue to circulate online falsely claiming that COVID-19 survivors don't need vaccines because of natural immunity. In fact, says the AP fact checkers, that protection is variable and not long lasting, so vaccines are still recommended. Here's our recent blah blah.

So here's my take on that. Here's the exact claim that if you've already been infected and recovered, that your protection is variable and not long lasting. Is that true? So before we get to all of it, the bigger picture is the limited claim correct that natural immunity is variable? Well first of all, just ask you, is it variable? Do you think there are people with good natural immunity and some with not so good? It's true, right? So I would say that's true. People have variable immunity, and it's also not long lasting. Well what's that mean? What does not long lasting mean? Well it means anything they wanted it to. So I'm not going to say it's false because wouldn't you like your immunity to last forever? You would, right?

So the standard that would make you happy is it lasts forever, because there are other immunities that seem to last forever and they're saying that this doesn't do that. So it's not long enough to make us happy. Is that fair? Is it fair to say that unlike other types of natural immunity it wouldn't be as good, right?

But now let's talk about the vaccination itself. Yeah, you're getting ahead of me. The vaccination itself, is that variable? Yes it is, same as natural immunity. Has everybody on the same page so far that there's great individual variability both in natural immunity and in vaccine immunity? We're all on the same page in that, right? Very variable. So no difference there in the sense that they're both variable. It might be a different variability, but plenty enough to say that they're similar.

How about whether vaccinations themselves are long lasting? Well no, that's why we get boosters. So you've got vaccinations that are variable and not long lasting. Natural immunity is also variable and not long lasting. So do you say to yourself therefore I should not get a vaccination because these are two things that are the same? They're both variable and they're both not long lasting. Is that good thinking? Now we're going to talk about vaccine side effects, but for the moment, is that good thinking? It's not good thinking, right?

So I'm going to just help you on the thinking part of it here, right? Your opinion is your own, and none of us are going to have enough really information, in my opinion, to have an informed opinion. There's a little bit of guessing.

Here's what the difference is. If you get the vaccination, do you have the option of giving yourself natural immunity on top of it? Well, accidentally, or I suppose you could, but generally that's not going to happen, right? You're not going
