ow you can see this clearly, right? Because you're my judges. You're the ones who are judging who's in cognitive dissonance. Did you clearly see that he changed the subject to debunk me while actually just being on the wrong topic? Did he ever debunk the claim that there are no countries or towns or anything that have solved their problem with ivermectin? Now if anybody's new to me, I'm not telli…

No. I'm saying that if you took somebody who was a data analysis expert and you sat them next to Dr. McCullough with all of his experience looking at peer-reviewed or being a peer-reviewed person, I would say it wouldn't be close. Those are different expertise. That would be like me saying well I've been paying attention to medicine for a long time, read a lot of articles, so I'm as good as a doctor. I mean I've been reading up on it. I have experience with my own medical problems and stuff so I'm basically a doctor, aren't I? No. No. If you don't study data analysis you don't get there just by looking at studies. You're gonna have to go a lot deeper than that.
Not good at evaluating data.
All right, so that's the exaggerated laugh. Did you hear it? So I said that the doctor was talking about was highly skilled in his areas of expertise but they do not include looking at data. And I'll give the exact example that he's not aware that there's no country that's had good success and probably not aware of maybe some other stuff.
All right, so but let me play the laugh again because you have to hear the laugh. That was almost as if we scripted it. "John I love that." So when he says that some countries, see if I could play that. Why would you do that? We got everything on a roll. We know what to do. We know exactly what. Actually we should talk about. All right, well I think I could go on too long with that.
So the point is they make some claims about that I think that ivermectin is nonsense. Nope, nope. That does not capture my claim. And they said that I'm quote all in on vaccinations. Those of you who have been watching me since the beginning, would you say that that is a good characterization of my opinion? That I have been quote all in on vaccinations? No, it's not even close. It's not even in the ballpark. I'm literally the only person I know who predicted the vaccinations wouldn't work. Can you know anybody else? I mean some experts said it before I said it and that's actually what informed me. The reasoning that I use was the experts said we've been working on a coronavirus vaccination for decades. We're not even close. There's nothing that's changed except the pandemic. Why in the world would we suddenly know how to make this thing that we haven't known how to make for 20 years and we've been trying hard? And I listened to that. I said yeah that's a pretty good point. What are the odds that by coincidence the pandemic would hit at exactly the time we knew how to make a vaccination we never knew how to make? I mean it's possible. I wanted to feel optimistic about it but I also predicted it wouldn't work and then it didn't as a vaccination.
Now I do say that the vaccinations work in the sense that reducing the chance of major illness. That's the official word. I mean I didn't do any studies myself but the official word is it reduces your risk. So if you see the maniacal laugh and all that, I don't know what happened to Curry and Dvorak but it looks like cognitive dissonance. Because I think they're watching their ivermectin opinion go to hell. They probably thought binary about me that I was either for vaccinations or against them. Both of those are bad opinions in my opinion.
"Scott has gradually lost my respect on these issues. I think his investments may be part of his blind spot." Investments? What investments do I have? I had an investment a little while in Regeneron but I sold it. So I don't have an, and I just held it for like a few months. I don't think I know of any investments I have that would have any bearing on this.
But when you say that I've actually let me respond to this directly. I'm always open to you saying what you disagree with me but I've lost your respect. You just, you and everybody who talks like that really, I don't want to hear about you losing your respect for me because I didn't ask for your respect. I asked for you to maybe engage in the argument. So you, I don't have any respect for you either. Zero. Zero.
All right, I mentioned that the publication Revolver had an investigative story about the possibility that January 6 had some FBI operatives pushing what happened. Now I claimed that it looked like a credible report

ing but somebody sent me a chart that showed the various media entities on a graph so that you could see if they were credible or not. It had Revolver like way down in the not credible area with InfoWars according to whoever put that chart together. And I think to myself, who in the world could put together a chart of media bias? Who could do that? How in the world would you not have CNN and New Y…
