em really, but I'm assuming that the people who study it professionally probably are pretty good at it. Pretty good. But you're never going to meet them, right? And it's not you. So what I would encourage you to do is have some humility about the assumption that you can do your own research. Now let me give you my macro opinion of Aaron Rodgers. A bunch of people sent me his video and said, hey,…
← Previous segment →k there's a little context missing? So she claims that there are emails that Durham and Barr saw but ignored. What is the missing context? They saw it and they ignored it. The missing context is why did they ignore it? Probably because it was bullshit or unimportant or some trivial email. Probably there's nothing here and Rachel Maddow has decided to turn it into something.
Who controls MSNBC? Depends who you ask. Some would say intelligence agencies. I can't confirm that but that's a common claim. If you're an intelligence agency wouldn't you want to create the counter narrative that oh no it really was Trump who was colluding with Russia after all? This is so heavy-handed. This is like really obvious heavy-handed manipulation of the public. It's kind of crazy.
And here's the thing. It's totally working. No matter how easily you can see the puppet strings and say hey, hey, this is clearly manipulation and a trick, it still works because again what the hell are you going to do about it? Take your story to the media? Hey I see what's going on here. I think I'll call my contacts at CNN and report it. Seriously what the hell are you going to do about it? As long as the media is going to cover it the way they're covering it that's sort of the end of it. There's nothing you can do. What are you going to do? Call Tim Pool if he recovers from his COVID? I mean the independents are so small relative to the major media that there's nothing you can do.
All right, that story just fascinates the whole enemy that you can make something like that disappear.
So Pfizer announced that they've got a COVID pill that at least in the test they had zero deaths from people who took the COVID pill soon after having symptoms and reduces deaths 89 percent or something like that.
Now if you've got a pill, and I imagine this will get approved pretty quickly, that reduces it by 89 percent, aren't you done? Like isn't this pill the get back to work pill? Because if you've got the vaccinations themselves and of course not everyone will take them but they reduce the risk you know by some enormous amount, then you've got this pill and that reduces it by an enormous amount. You've got the monoclonal antibodies. We know that works. We know the vitamin D works. At least a few other things we know work.
So each of these takes a big percentage out of the total risk. Once the Pfizer pill is here and ones like it, you know the other company that has a pill, but I feel like we're done when we have those, don't you? I mean I've felt like this before so maybe this is false optimism but how much better would it be if you've got these pills that work so long as you take them early?
How much better would things be if we had rapid tests that are so cheap you could just do one every day? Suppose you could for one dollar test yourself every day and you know not everybody would spend 365 dollars per person in their household but a lot of people would. A lot of people would. And you would get at least the s

uper spreaders. But if you were catching it fast and taking the pill fast I feel like we're done, right? I mean I don't know when we'll all have availability of these pills and then the real question is do you just buy these pills and keep them around? All right, you know I'm sure they're prescription but wouldn't it be great if you could just get some and keep them because you don't want to have…
