[00:00.000 --> 00:02.280]  I'm Dave Champion.
[00:02.280 --> 00:06.280]  Since the beginning of the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak, I've told you that government health officials
[00:06.280 --> 00:14.120]  frequently look at something that's right in front of their faces and fail to acknowledge
[00:14.120 --> 00:15.280]  what's right there.
[00:15.280 --> 00:21.320]  Because for them to acknowledge that would be for them to admit, I hate to put it in
[00:21.320 --> 00:32.360]  a pejorative manner, that they don't really know what they're doing.
[00:32.360 --> 00:35.680]  I want to share with you a statement made by Scott Morrow, M.D.
[00:35.680 --> 00:38.880]  He's the Chief Health Officer for San Mateo County, California.
[00:38.880 --> 00:44.040]  And on December 7th, he published on the agency's website a very lengthy statement, I'm just
[00:44.040 --> 00:50.080]  going to read you a very small part of it in six, seven seconds, that illustrates the
[00:50.080 --> 00:57.440]  concept that something that's right there, sometimes they can't seem to grasp.
[00:57.440 --> 01:00.720]  So here is Dr. Morrow's statement.
[01:00.720 --> 01:07.760]  During the first shelter-in-place order, which I wholeheartedly endorsed, the virus was brand
[01:07.760 --> 01:15.200]  new and had the capability of spreading exponentially due to zero immunity and people's complete
[01:15.200 --> 01:17.000]  lack of awareness.
[01:17.120 --> 01:23.720]  Okay, so I don't want to completely condemn Dr. Morrow because he's, we're going to explore
[01:23.720 --> 01:29.680]  that statement in a moment, but in some ways he's doing better than a lot of these absolutely
[01:29.680 --> 01:31.840]  ridiculous government health experts.
[01:31.840 --> 01:38.040]  As an example, further down in his statement, he said, what I believe now is the power and
[01:38.040 --> 01:46.320]  authority to control this pandemic lies primarily in your hands, not mine.
[01:46.320 --> 01:51.620]  Which is essentially what I've been telling you now for months and months and months.
[01:51.620 --> 01:56.640]  He's acknowledging that the government cannot control the spread of the virus.
[01:56.640 --> 02:01.480]  And although he's not coming out and saying it in that language, I'm glad that somebody,
[02:01.480 --> 02:06.000]  some chief health officer, in this case San Mateo County, is actually coming out and saying
[02:06.000 --> 02:07.000]  it.
[02:07.000 --> 02:14.640]  Let's go back to his original statement, which was that he had supported the original lockdowns
[02:14.640 --> 02:22.880]  because the virus was brand new and had the capability of spreading exponentially due
[02:22.880 --> 02:29.720]  to zero immunity and people's lack of awareness.
[02:29.720 --> 02:36.360]  Now that statement was made by Dr. Morrow on December 7th, 2020, I mean just a couple
[02:36.360 --> 02:37.360]  days ago.
[02:37.360 --> 02:39.960]  Well, this is an ancient history we're talking about.
[02:39.960 --> 02:47.440]  Dr. Morrow has the opportunity to sit here in mid-December and look back over the history
[02:47.440 --> 02:52.920]  of what's happened with SARS-CoV-2 in California, and he talks about he supported the lockdowns
[02:52.920 --> 02:58.880]  because there was the potential for exponential growth back then.
[02:58.880 --> 03:03.040]  So what's going on now in California?
[03:03.040 --> 03:07.120]  This is a graph based on the data of California, and you can see the date range down at the
[03:07.120 --> 03:08.120]  bottom.
[03:08.120 --> 03:13.520]  And so you'll see right here, towards the end of October, the cases appear to start
[03:13.520 --> 03:17.000]  climbing considerably, yes?
[03:17.000 --> 03:23.000]  And then right here, towards the very end of November, boom!
[03:23.000 --> 03:27.200]  That line goes damn near vertical.
[03:27.200 --> 03:32.080]  That would be exactly what you would call exponential growth.
[03:32.080 --> 03:38.600]  And of course, Dr. Morrow was saying that exponential growth was possible because the
[03:38.600 --> 03:44.840]  community had a lack of immunity and people were unaware.
[03:44.840 --> 03:51.600]  But in the weeks leading up to his statement, he's seeing exponential growth when there
[03:52.600 --> 03:57.760]  amount of immunity in the community, and people are hyper aware.
[03:57.760 --> 04:04.640]  And yet the growth of the virus in the state of California is exponential.
[04:04.640 --> 04:12.400]  So why he would say he supported a lockdown back in March, because there was the opportunity
[04:12.400 --> 04:18.760]  then because of those circumstances for exponential growth, when essentially at the very moment
[04:18.760 --> 04:24.520]  he's talking, his state is today experiencing exponential growth without either of those
[04:24.520 --> 04:26.320]  two factors in play.
[04:26.320 --> 04:31.120]  And not just without them in play, the exact opposite is true.
[04:31.120 --> 04:34.920]  I've told you from the very beginning that government cannot stop the spread of the virus,
[04:34.920 --> 04:39.680]  and I'm not talking about just within the limited scope of SARS-CoV-2.
[04:39.680 --> 04:44.840]  I'm talking about any government, any virus at any time in the entire history of the world,
[04:44.840 --> 04:46.720]  any place on the planet.
[04:46.720 --> 04:51.880]  Government has never done it, and unless technology takes a dramatic leap forward here in the
[04:51.880 --> 04:54.400]  next few years, we're still going to be unable to do it.
[04:54.400 --> 04:55.400]  Who knows?
[04:55.400 --> 04:56.400]  We may never be able to do it.
[04:56.400 --> 05:01.120]  But government cannot stop the spread of the virus.
[05:01.120 --> 05:08.320]  I said probably starting about May, I said, OK, look for the government when finally it
[05:08.320 --> 05:14.000]  becomes apparent to everybody except perhaps CNN that government cannot stop the spread
[05:14.000 --> 05:15.200]  of the virus.
[05:15.200 --> 05:19.920]  When that becomes apparent, then, and the government knows that the public can see it,
[05:19.920 --> 05:26.400]  that then the government's going to say, it's your fault, you're not doing your job.
[05:26.400 --> 05:33.160]  We the government, we are the righteous, we are all-knowing, we are doing everything right
[05:33.160 --> 05:42.280]  because we, our government, worship us, but you are the problem, you are the reason that
[05:42.280 --> 05:45.280]  this virus is spreading, not us.
[05:45.280 --> 05:46.280]  We're blameless and wonderful.
[05:46.280 --> 05:47.280]  You!
[05:47.280 --> 05:50.400]  OK, so I said that that's exactly, and you've probably seen that, right?
[05:50.400 --> 05:51.920]  So I want to share a quote with you.
[05:51.920 --> 05:56.880]  This is from the commissioner of the Chicago Department of Public Health.
[05:56.880 --> 06:04.000]  Her name is Dr. Alice Allison Arati, not sure how to pronounce her last name.
[06:04.000 --> 06:10.040]  And she says, speaking of what we do in our homes.
[06:10.040 --> 06:16.040]  She says, in fact, where we see the spread of COVID-19, we don't ever see the spread
[06:16.040 --> 06:20.840]  of COVID-19, by the way, we see the spread of SARS-CoV-2, so she's obviously not too
[06:20.840 --> 06:28.400]  bright to begin with, is where we let down our guard at home, where we literally let
[06:28.400 --> 06:34.440]  down our mask because we feel comfortable with those we love, but the virus is just
[06:34.440 --> 06:37.960]  looking for opportunities to spread.
[06:38.080 --> 06:50.280]  OK, so what Allison is saying is that if you were doing the right thing, if it wasn't
[06:50.280 --> 07:00.720]  your fault, you would be wearing a mask at home, wearing gloves at home, sanitizing everything
[07:00.720 --> 07:07.680]  multiple times a day at home, social distancing from your family at home, not touching your
[07:07.680 --> 07:09.880]  family members at home.
[07:09.880 --> 07:16.160]  OK, so we have the government cannot stop the spread of the virus.
[07:16.160 --> 07:17.160]  We talked about that, right?
[07:17.160 --> 07:19.880]  So let's take that and put it out of view for a moment.
[07:19.880 --> 07:21.000]  So now what are we talking about?
[07:21.000 --> 07:29.240]  Now we're talking about what are human beings willing to do?
[07:29.240 --> 07:36.440]  How are they willing to live moment by moment, hour by hour, day by day in their cars, in
[07:36.440 --> 07:39.440]  their homes, in the most intimate relationships?
[07:39.440 --> 07:45.240]  How are they willing to act as human beings to stop a virus?
[07:45.240 --> 07:51.800]  Yeah, they're not willing to do the kind of things that Allison is suggesting that people
[07:51.800 --> 07:52.800]  do.
[07:52.800 --> 07:56.240]  So you've got the government that can't stop it.
[07:56.240 --> 07:59.800]  Never was able to, by the way, let's be clear, it wasn't like they just, it was going to
[07:59.800 --> 08:02.320]  work but it failed, right?
[08:02.320 --> 08:05.520]  It was going to fail from the moment government said, well, we're going to do this and this.
[08:05.560 --> 08:07.560]  It was a failure.
[08:07.560 --> 08:11.300]  Nothing they did has changed anything, to be clear.
[08:11.300 --> 08:16.240]  So if they can't do it, which they can't, then it's society.
[08:16.240 --> 08:28.320]  And I don't know why COVID Karens, government health officials, why it is so incredibly
[08:28.320 --> 08:33.640]  hard for them to grasp that you can do this all you want.
[08:33.640 --> 08:39.500]  You can post the numbers day in and day out, oh my God, look at how the new daily infections
[08:39.500 --> 08:42.440]  are going through the roof.
[08:42.440 --> 08:45.560]  You can give out raw death numbers.
[08:45.560 --> 08:50.360]  You're not going to change human behavior.
[08:50.360 --> 08:54.840]  So when we look at the situation where the numbers are growing exponentially, and there's
[08:54.840 --> 08:58.480]  a whole equation with that, you have a little bit of growth and then that little bit of
[08:58.480 --> 09:02.520]  growth leads to a wider growth, it's like a funnel equation, right, and then that wider
[09:02.520 --> 09:03.880]  growth leads to a wider growth.
[09:03.880 --> 09:08.080]  And that's what we're experiencing here, compounded by the fact that in the Northern
[09:08.080 --> 09:10.960]  Hemisphere it's gotten colder, everybody's compacting inside.
[09:10.960 --> 09:19.320]  I talked way back in April, May, June, I'd spoken about population density, and it doesn't
[09:19.320 --> 09:22.280]  matter whether we're talking about a place like New York with millions of people living
[09:22.280 --> 09:27.320]  on top of one another, we talk about population density in your home.
[09:27.320 --> 09:28.800]  Population density is scalable, right?
[09:28.800 --> 09:32.460]  So wherever you have population density, which when it gets cold and everybody clusters to
[09:32.460 --> 09:37.380]  get together in buildings, whether it be home or somewhere else, yeah, you have population
[09:37.380 --> 09:43.060]  density and the virus is going to spread and then that inverted pyramid starts to grow.
[09:43.060 --> 09:44.380]  And that's what we're seeing right now.
[09:44.380 --> 09:50.500]  This is not magic and it's not rocket science, it's just ordinary science.
[09:50.500 --> 09:54.860]  I love one of these headlines, it was we've now surpassed here in the United States, we've
[09:54.860 --> 10:00.580]  now surpassed the deaths that were experienced on the day of 9-11, we've surpassed that day
[10:00.580 --> 10:01.580]  and day and day and day.
[10:01.700 --> 10:05.140]  Okay, so here's the thing, that was man-made.
[10:05.140 --> 10:07.660]  Mother nature always kills more people.
[10:07.660 --> 10:11.620]  So when we look at a pandemic and somebody is saying, well, we've got more people dying
[10:11.620 --> 10:16.300]  in these days than died on 9-11, yeah, what's your point?
[10:16.300 --> 10:20.900]  I would get that if you could say, look, look at all these people who are dying and all
[10:20.900 --> 10:27.860]  we have to do is X and the problem is solved.
[10:27.860 --> 10:28.860]  But there is no X.
[10:29.140 --> 10:31.660]  That's the thing, I get it.
[10:31.660 --> 10:33.820]  If you want to talk about that intellectually, that's fine.
[10:33.820 --> 10:36.120]  But if you're trying to talk about people's heartstrings, what are you doing?
[10:36.120 --> 10:40.520]  Because there is no X, it's not like we can stop it if we do X, we can't.
[10:40.520 --> 10:45.780]  The government can't stop it and I know some people are going to find this really hard
[10:45.780 --> 10:47.900]  to accept.
[10:47.900 --> 10:58.820]  Because human beings are human beings, human beings will never stop an infectious disease.
[10:59.780 --> 11:00.780]  And you don't have to take my word for that.
[11:00.780 --> 11:07.780]  Look back at some of the worst infectious diseases in mankind's history.
[11:07.780 --> 11:12.660]  Did humans do the right thing and eradicate it in weeks or months?
[11:12.660 --> 11:14.380]  No, no.
[11:14.380 --> 11:17.940]  Even later, I mean, we can talk about all of history, I mean, people pretty much knew
[11:17.940 --> 11:23.440]  even before the science was there, okay, so if I don't want the Black Plague, stay away
[11:23.440 --> 11:25.080]  from people with the Black Plague.
[11:25.080 --> 11:29.320]  This was not a mystery even before science was a thing.
[11:29.320 --> 11:32.600]  But let's move to more recent scientific times.
[11:32.600 --> 11:33.600]  It hasn't changed anything.
[11:33.600 --> 11:39.200]  The fact that we have more scientific knowledge hasn't changed human nature.
[11:39.200 --> 11:42.840]  It hasn't changed human behavior.
[11:42.840 --> 11:46.640]  And for that reason, the government cannot stop it.
[11:46.640 --> 11:53.200]  And although now, just like Dr. Murrow was saying, it's not in my hands, it's in yours,
[11:53.200 --> 11:54.200]  I get that.
[11:54.320 --> 11:57.440]  And I'm glad somebody's finally coming out and saying that.
[11:57.440 --> 12:00.440]  As a representative of the government, I can't solve this, it's up to you.
[12:00.440 --> 12:03.280]  But we're not going to solve it either, right?
[12:03.280 --> 12:07.840]  So since government isn't going to solve it and we're not going to solve it, that's
[12:07.840 --> 12:08.840]  just the reality.
[12:08.840 --> 12:13.320]  No matter how much people may rail against that, that's not true, we can do it.
[12:13.320 --> 12:14.960]  It's not going to happen that way.
[12:14.960 --> 12:15.960]  Sorry.
[12:15.960 --> 12:16.960]  That's human nature.
[12:16.960 --> 12:17.960]  That's truth.
[12:17.960 --> 12:18.960]  That's the world we live in.
[12:18.960 --> 12:22.600]  Even if you don't like it, even if you wish it were different, even if you think you couldn't
[12:23.000 --> 12:28.000]  make people, you can't, okay?
[12:28.000 --> 12:29.520]  But we can cause mass unemployment.
[12:29.520 --> 12:31.360]  We can cause people to commit suicide.
[12:31.360 --> 12:33.440]  We can cause domestic violence.
[12:33.440 --> 12:37.920]  We can cause increase in drug addiction and alcohol.
[12:37.920 --> 12:42.360]  We can cause livelihoods that took decades to build to be destroyed.
[12:42.360 --> 12:44.640]  We can cause families to disintegrate.
[12:44.640 --> 12:50.880]  We can, acting through force of government violence, state violence, we can do all of
[12:50.880 --> 12:55.600]  those things, but we can't stop the spread of a virus.
[12:55.600 --> 12:59.720]  So if we can't stop the spread of a virus, then why would we want to use state violence
[12:59.720 --> 13:01.440]  to do all those other things?
