ess in general it'd be like 18, but if you say, you know, how are they doing, 30 percent said excellent or good. So I don't know which number is closer to reality here. And then Rasmussen asked about Build Back Better. Do people support it or oppose it? 38 percent support it. That's actually more than I thought. Does that sound high? A 38 percent support it. I'm not sure if Rasmussen is going to…
← Previous segment →e if they could support the Build Back Better. I would say that 17 — usually I mock the uncertain because most of the questions you really should have an opinion on, but this is one I don't know. 17 percent said, "I don't know." I feel like that's the right opinion. I don't know. I mean if you just focus on what it would do to inflation then I guess it would be easy to have a coherent opinion, which is no, that's too much. You know, sort of the Joe Manchin approach. Just it's just too much. That's a reasonable opinion. Could be true, could be false, but it's reasonable. 45 percent oppose Build Back Better. Yeah, I really thought it was more. I would say a reasonable person could throw the 17 unsure into the opposed because if somebody said to you, "We're planning to spend two trillion dollars and we don't know if it'll be a good idea or not," what do you say? You don't even know what it's about. You spend two trillion. We don't really know. I mean some people say yes, some people say it'd be good, some say bad. Well if you don't know, good decision making usually is biased toward don't do it, right? You don't put two trillion dollars into something you're just guessing about. So the unsures, I think they're slightly opposed, especially if they don't feel well informed anyway.
Uh, Jay and Jay, do me a fact check on this. Didn't J&J say they're not recommending the J&J shot anymore because of side effects? That's true, right? Oh, the FDA, yeah. So the FDA said they're not recommending the J&J shots. So they would recommend the Pfizer and the Moderna first over the J&J. So what does this tell us that we didn't know before? Number one it validates my strategy. Does anybody remember what my vaccination strategy was? What was my vaccination strategy? Anybody? Wait as long as you can. Wait as long as you can if you can socially isolate, right? I have the advantage that I can isolate better than most people. So in that specific condition, which you know might be unique to me, waiting until we know as much as possible makes sense. You know you sort of have to game it, you know, what is waiting too long and what is not. But I waited. I haven't gotten the booster at this moment. I'm leaning against it but I'll still wait for more information. But I'm glad I didn't run out and say give me whatever you got because remember the FDA wasn't — the FDA saying it doesn't matter which booster you get, doesn't matter which ones you got, you can get any one of the three. And what did I tell you? I'm still waiting for — are there any doctors on here? If you're a doctor you probably have a better view on this. I don't have a confident opinion but I'll tell you my opinion. So this is sort of leaning in that direction. Opinion. It goes like this: if you did not have a bad reaction to whatever vaccination you got and you don't really have any tests to tell you what to do next, is it smarter to get a different vaccination that could have different level of side effects or is it versus getting the same that you had no side effects? Or could that put you over the limit of how much of that one kind of vaccine you've got? Which would you say would be just commonsensically, if you did not have the benefit of data because we don't, what commonsensically would be safer? Doctors only please. If you're a doctor tell me.

ou're a doctor in the comments please. Yeah I don't know. Stick with the devil you know. Uh oh, so your doctor says Pfizer is a smaller dose than Moderna but that's also why it works less, right? Wasn't Moderna the highest efficacy? Dr. Matt Wayne says go with what you had before. Dr. Johnson, I'm not sure if you're a real doctor or you're a troll. I'm a doctor, don't know. All right yeah there's…
