be concentrated in the young whereas old people are actually doing fine in terms of their death rate. Does that make sense to you that young people would have much higher death after the pandemic and old people would be doing maybe even better than normal? To me that makes perfect sense. I'm actually confused why it's confusing or why there's even any mystery to it at all. Let me explain. Old peo…

was it? But before you speculate about what it was deal with the first question. Why would there be a national story without breaking down the cause of death? How does that tell you anything?

I saw this from Pierre Kory. You know him from the pandemic. He was a rogue good doctor meaning that he was not agreeing with the consensus on vaccinations and such. Does it seem to you that somebody is trying to suggest that the vaccinations kill them? That's what I'm getting out of it because it was Pierre Kory who's talking about it and he's the one who says that the vaccinations are dangerous. But he doesn't complete the loop. He doesn't complete the loop and say the exact things that they're dying from are the exact things we'd worry about a vaccination having a side effect. You're saying yes he did but not in the article I saw. In the article I saw he speculated but he did not mention, the more recent stuff does not define the specific causes. Right now I have seen him say separately and before that myocarditis was higher in young people because of vaccinations. So I have heard that. But what the insurance companies are dealing with, you know these big excess deaths, they're not completing the loop. They're not saying that it seems heart related and heart related would be suggestive of maybe something that happened recently like vaccinations. No autopsies. Now when young people die unexpectedly don't they do autopsies? If a 15-year-old dies of a heart attack they don't check that out? I don't know exactly.

All right so here's what I make of it. I don't believe it. I first don't believe the numbers and then I secondly don't believe there isn't an obvious explanation for it because to me it seems like the suicides and the drug overdoses would be through the roof. And then I think something happened to all of us socially. Would you agree? How many of you feel socially damaged by the pandemic? I do. I feel permanently changed by the pandemic meaning that my social impulse is almost none. Almost none. Yeah yeah. So if I were a teen and I had my social impulse erased and I just lived online and watched porn all day and was on social media I don't know. Feels like that could kill you but I don't know what the cause is so I don't want to speculate too hard. It does seem like it might be a whole bunch of dif

ferent things. Elon Musk is going hard at DEI. He says DEI must die. In a separate, we had two posts on it. And he said the point was to end discrimination not replace it with different discrimination. Diversity, equity, inclusion are propaganda words for racism, sexism and other isms. And then later he said this is not just morally wrong as any other racism and sexism. Changing the target class…
