that's inevitable. But our march toward full cyborg status is well underway. I would say that's not going to happen anytime soon, but it's going to happen. Contact lenses that are little computer screens. The U.S. economy added over half a million jobs, and unemployment rate fell to 4.6 percent. Let me tell you everything you need to know about economics. You ready? Here's everything you need to…
← Previous segment →ndustry in this country have to sell? Well, in this country they can sell you some monoclonal antibodies, and they're making them as fast as we're using them, I think. So there's that. But also vaccinations, of course. So vaccinations are the primary money competitor to therapeutics, right? Vaccines are the competition for therapeutics. They're not the same, and I'm not recommending you do one or the other. There's no recommendation here. I'm just saying they're direct financial competitors even though they do different things.
So until now we never had pharma versus pharma, am I right? We never had pharma versus pharma. So now we've got Big Pharma, Merck, that'll have a competition to vaccinations. What do you expect to happen next? Follow the money. You had not much competition for vaccinations, and the news was owned, and the government was owned by the pharma. What messages would you expect to come out of that situation? Vaccines are safe. Everybody should get one. And you better get a booster too.
Now, how predictable would that be if you knew that Big Pharma had infinite money, they controlled the news, and they controlled the government? What would you expect to come out of that? Exactly that. Right now, again, remember the rule is not that if you follow the money you find a crime. Often that's true, but that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying if you follow the money, even if people say they were ignoring the money and even if it looks like they were, you still end up in the same place. You end up in the same place.
So how will the message change now that it's pharma versus pharma? Because it used to be pharma versus the government versus the news, and there was no competition. Pharma could put out whatever message it wanted because the news would just parrot it, and the government was owned. Obviously I'm using hyperbole to make the story here. Right now, what happens when it becomes pharma versus pharma? Therapeutics versus vaccines. Prediction time. Follow the money. What's going to happen? Suddenly you should expect bad news about vaccines. See what I'm saying?
The moment — probably the same day that this drug is approved in the United States — the media is going to turn on vaccinations. Not totally. Not totally, because some of them still get their money from that source. But there may be enough entities that get their money from Merck. You're going to start seeing some stories about side effects and long-term risk and all that stuff. So follow the money predicts that everything you've heard about vaccinations being good will start to morph into, "Well, maybe there's more risk than we thought." Here. Watch it. Watch that happen. The shift is coming, and you'll be able to watch it in real time.
So Biden said the reports of giving maybe settling some legal disputes with immigrants who were separated at the border — he said it's garbage that they're going to get $450,000 per person. I take Biden's description of this as correct, meaning that the part he was saying is garbage is the $450,000 part. He wasn't saying that no settlement will happen. He's just saying that that number is crazy. Who knows what the number will be?
And so

me have said that separations from the family are akin to torture psychologically, and the people will be damaged. But here's some context. I need to ask — correct me if I'm wrong — each of these people got separated in the context of a definite crime being committed. It's an immigration crime, not a violent crime. But am I right that all the separations happened in the context of people who defin…
