What do you think? Do you think it's still 50, 50, 75? In my experience it's closer to zero. Yeah, it's closer to zero. Might be five, 10 percent. You could give it that. But if the only thing you knew is what's in the news about Dave Portnoy, you should play the odds. Play the odds. It's closer to a 90 percent chance that the odds are BS. If he were not famous, I would reverse it. If you were no…

Because the initial reporting — oh, interesting. All right, I just got fact-checked in real time. It was 10 to 12 days of a chest cold. Interesting. Tim found the doctor by himself.
All right, this is perfect. What was my last story? My last story is that the news when it talks about famous people is usually wrong, right? It does.

But apparently he had to go and hunt it down himself. Is our health care system this bad that we don't give people the full cocktail the minute they say that they have symptoms? Apparently so. Apparently it's not bad.
But here's the fake news part of it. Tim Pool was framed as a vaccination denier, which he isn't. My understanding — can I get a confirmation on that? Give me a fact check. Give me a fact check.

our doctor. And if he talked to his doctor, whichever way he went, then he did exactly what he says you should do: talk to your doctor. And that's everybody's advice. That's mainstream medical advice: talk to your doctor, right? So somehow Tim Pool has been framed because it makes a better narrative: anti-vaxxer gets a bad case and wishes he was vaccinated.
