dical community didn't know that polio either was just not what they thought it was and the vaccine didn't make any difference at all. That's quite a claim. Quite a claim. But in 2025, to steal a joke from Joe Rogan, I'm not so sure the moon landing was real. And by the way, I'm not so sure the moon landing was real. Like I've actually been flipped. Even maybe a month ago I was holding tough. It'…

I don't know who else. The media, maybe the media.
