. Fortunately most of us just have that fleeting thought and it's not actually actualized. But let's say you have one of those days when you say damn it it's just not worth it. Here's what you do. Redefine it this way. Say to yourself you know suppose I did plan to end it all and this was my last day. How would I act differently if it were my last day? Well you wouldn't have to worry about gettin…

matter what you're doing about it, right?

Why did World War II kill more people than your neighbors arguing about their trash cans? Because it was World War II and that's not you neighbor. You know it's not like arguing with your neighbor. If infections go through the roof the death count's going up no matter what. Doesn't matter how many people are vaccinated. And everybody's vaccinated. Once you get everybody vaccinated then if you die you're dying vaccinated. So yeah that might be a counting problem as well.

Then why more infections? The reason there's more infection is we're in a pandemic and we don't have anything that stops it. We know that. We wanted vaccines to stop it but they don't do that. Which doesn't mean that the vaccines are necessarily useless. They just don't stop it cold.

If anybody doesn't know this I did predict at the beginning when Project Warp Speed was first announced I did predict it would fail to create a vaccine that actually stopped the coronavirus. And the reason I predicted it was not because I'm so smart. It's because all of the experts who had worked in that field said we've been working on this for decades and we can't, we're not even close. So we're definitely not going to do it in a year. And I thought well if everybody working in the field says they can't do it and they don't know how to do it probably they're right.

ight brothers, you know the rogues are right. But if you want to bet, place a bet, you should usually bet against the rogue exception. People sometimes they're right and then it makes big news and you remember them forever but not usually. Usually they're dead wrong. The people who are the skeptics and the resistors and such. Why do we have more deaths? Was that with us having vaccines first? We…
