nd him? I'm going to have to. No, you want more of him. I was listening to him on Tucker, and I was really taken by how well he explains complicated things. He really is a treasure. Now whether you agree with him is a separate question. I'm going to give you a little disagreement later. But his ability to explain a complicated thing is unparalleled. I mean, he's just the best. And his bravery of b…

But here's my disagreement. And I explained this in a reply back to his post, so I'll just read it to you because it's so perfect. Here's how events unfolded. Experts told us the size of the initial infection mattered and that the more virus you got, the sicker you got. Do you remember that? I don't know if that was ever confirmed, by the way. It makes sense, but I don't know if it was ever confirmed. So the question is if you got like one tiny little virus that hit you on the side of the lip, would that be enough to infect you? One, just literally one virus the side of the lip, would that infect you? I don't know. I think the experts were indicating maybe not. Maybe not. But if you got a mouthful, probably yes. Probably yes. So if you French kissed somebody with a terrible load of virus, almost certainly you get enough. Now not only does the level matter to whether you get it or not, but if you do get it, the experts also said that the more you get exposed to it first, the worse it could be. Do you remember that? That the viral load was important to how bad you got it. So if you maybe spent the night right next to somebody with a lot of it, you'd be really sick. If you got the slightest little whiff of it because you walk through a crowded room, you still get COVID, maybe, but maybe not so bad because it would start slow and your body would have time to mount its defenses before it was overwhelming. I don't know if that was ever confirmed. But would you agree with the following statement? That in the fog of war, when the experts thought the more virus, the worse it would be, that if you had any mechanism that could reduce how much you got from one person at one time, that would give you a little bit of advantage. Would you agree with that? I want to see somebody disagree with that because I know you will disagree with that. All right. If you disagree with that, you're just being silly. That's just silly. I can't take you seriously. This is not the part you can disagree with.
All right. So if you — now I'm saying I don't know if the viral load does make a difference. I'm saying the experts said it, so I'm just quoting the experts, right? And I would say then they told us that the virus traveled on air droplets that were often but not always bigger than the holes. Often but not always bigger than the holes. Which means that some virus of course gets through and is still airborne on the droplets and it can infect people. And let me ask you this. If an infected person wore a mask and you knew they were infected and you knew they've been breathing into their mask all day, would you take their mask if you weren't infected and put it on your face? And would you worry — now forget about the icky part of it — wouldn't you know with 100% certainty that the inside of the mask has virus on it? You'd know that, right? Because it'd be wet. It's moist. If the inside of the mask is moist, by definition it stopped dropl

ets. Almost certainly they had virus on them. So some could have been a very little amount, but some gets trapped in the mask. Does anybody disagree with the fact that if you're infected and the inside of your mask is moist, which it would be, some — but we don't know how much. It could be trivial. It could be one particle. But some is on the inside of the mask. There's no question about that, rig…
