the experts do? Just sort of keep a running tally so you know when to be skeptical or not.

Let me give you some examples. Who was the first expert who said we should close the airports, the flights from China? Was it the virologist or was it me? It was me. It was me. So I was way before the experts saying we should close flights from China. Right? I mean, you could check that. January 24th. But was there anybody before me who was an expert? I'm not aware of any. I'm aware that Jack Posobiec said it before me that we should close the borders, and he's not a biologist. So just on that one scale of should we close the airports, I would say the experts were following the non-experts. And you can verify that. I mean there might be some expert who was saying it before me, but check that.

How about the question of whether masks were useful or not useful in the pandemic? Who said first that masks are probably useful because duh? Was that the experts, the CDC, the World Health Organization, your Surgeon General and your task force? Was it them or was it me? The answer is me. Way before the experts admitted it, I told you masks clearly, obviously, duh, make some difference. And now the experts pretty much all agree.

All right. So I was before the experts on closing the airports, before the experts on the efficacy of masks. Where did you first hear in public that hydroxychloroquine, the malaria drug, might be useful if taken early? Now I'm not the person who invented that idea. Of course that did come from the experts. But where did you hear it first? Probably from me. Right? Now some of you might have heard it from somewhere else, but probably most of you heard it from me. Now again that doesn't make me right or wrong. We still have to test it and who knows if it'll work or not. But it's a very important part of the conversation. Everybody agrees with that. And you probably heard it first from me, at least the people watching this Periscope.

What about convalescent blood therapy? Where was the first place you heard of that as something that could work? Well it's an old technique, so there are people who were aware of it and certainly, you know, in small groups and maybe in small ways were talking about it. But I'll bet you heard it first from me. Now I didn't make it up. I heard it from from Ian, whose last name I can never pronounce. You know, you re and you're probably watching. But that probably, you probably heard that from non-experts before you heard that from experts.

All right. Here's another one. Experts are telling me that it might be dangerous to give people these malaria pills, the hydroxychloroquine, before they have symptoms. And the reasoning is that under certain conditions, if you have heart issues I guess, it may be something else, that the pills could kill you. All right. So that's what the experts are saying. In fact even this morning a medical expert told me this, said you don't want to give these just everybody willy-nilly because the pills themselves could kill people. And we know that if they have certain conditions.

To which I say to the experts, was that a problem when you prescribe it for lupus, which you do every day? Is that a problem when you prescribe it for rheumatoid arthritis, which you do every day? Is that a problem when you prescribe it for malaria before people even have malaria, every day? So experts, why are you telling me that this is a problem when it's something that's been done for four decades for other conditions? And of course you have exactly the same warning. It doesn't matter if you're getting it for lupus or malaria or rheumatoid arthritis. It's gonna come from a doctor and the doctor is gonna say, do you have one of these conditions? If you say yes, maybe you don't get it. If you say no, maybe you get it. It's no different than all the other uses.

So who would you listen to? The doctors and the experts who say I don't know, this pill could be dangerous? Or the non-expert who is telling you yeah, it could be dangerous, we know that. It's no different than every other use. Who are you gonna believe, me or the doctors? I would go with me. Honestly, I would.

All right. Here's a
