[00:00.000 --> 00:08.280]  I'm Dave Champion. Back on September 8th, I shared with you that three nations would
[00:08.280 --> 00:15.960]  be in herd immunity in the not too distant future. I named India, I named Spain, and
[00:15.960 --> 00:21.680]  I named France. Now, I'm not going to talk about France because while I believe, yes,
[00:21.680 --> 00:27.320]  they have hit herd immunity, the downward decline is so short, I don't feel it's credible
[00:27.320 --> 00:31.400]  to bring it here for you today. I imagine I can bring it to you here today in another
[00:31.400 --> 00:36.760]  week or 10 days, but not today. So let's take a look at India and Spain.
[00:44.760 --> 00:50.440]  Let's start by taking a look at what's happening in Spain. You're currently looking at a datagraph
[00:50.560 --> 00:57.840]  of Spain. It was captured on October 7th and it is valid through October 6th. And of course,
[00:57.840 --> 01:04.640]  you can see what we have talked about time and time again. You've got to have the red
[01:04.640 --> 01:11.840]  line to get to the blue line. And this is the moment that Spain hit herd immunity. Now,
[01:11.840 --> 01:18.360]  you might be curious what this sort of vibrant green line is right there. Well, that September
[01:18.360 --> 01:24.320]  8th, when I came out here on a video in front of you and I said that any day now, I think
[01:24.320 --> 01:29.680]  that what I said was within a couple of weeks, Spain was going to turn the corner and it
[01:29.680 --> 01:35.080]  will have achieved herd immunity and the numbers will begin to plummet exactly as you're seeing
[01:35.080 --> 01:39.760]  here. And while I don't have the exact numbers in front of me, I believe the timeframe from
[01:39.760 --> 01:45.800]  the green line to the peak of the pyramid was seven days. You saw the red line, right?
[01:45.800 --> 01:50.600]  It was pretty steep. And of course, it was all over the media that Spain was in trouble.
[01:50.600 --> 01:55.360]  It was the next hot spot. Oh my God, the world is ending. We're all going to die. Look at
[01:55.360 --> 02:00.160]  Spain. So while all of that was going on and this line is going up and up and up and up
[02:00.160 --> 02:08.680]  and everybody's freaking out, as it had been going on and on and on and on and on, I said
[02:08.680 --> 02:14.920]  any day now we're going to have herd immunity. Why? Yeah, because that's how it works on
[02:14.920 --> 02:21.800]  the planet Earth with a virus, which brings me to India. Let's have a look at India. Here
[02:21.800 --> 02:27.560]  we go again. I feel like I keep repeating myself. You've got to have the red line to
[02:27.560 --> 02:33.160]  get to the blue line. And of course, again, the somewhat vibrant green line. Green line
[02:33.160 --> 02:36.600]  is September 8th, the date that I came out and said India was going to turn the corner
[02:36.600 --> 02:41.600]  and hit herd immunity any time. And again, I believe in the case of India, that happened
[02:41.600 --> 02:50.360]  about 10 days later. As I keep saying, it's not rocket science. It's just plain ordinary
[02:50.360 --> 02:55.240]  science. So am I sharing this with you today so that I can pat myself on the back and say,
[02:55.240 --> 02:59.800]  golly gee whiz, Dave was right. No. If you've been following me along ever since this thing
[02:59.800 --> 03:04.320]  started back in March, as far as me creating these videos, you know I've been right every
[03:04.320 --> 03:08.640]  step of the way. I don't have to share that with you. The important thing about this message,
[03:08.640 --> 03:15.080]  why I was able to when worldwide the media and government health experts were freaking
[03:15.080 --> 03:19.760]  out about Spain and freaking out about India, why I was able to say at the moment when they
[03:19.760 --> 03:24.360]  were all panicking, give it another couple weeks and they're going to have herd immunity,
[03:24.360 --> 03:32.040]  is because they are wrong. And the media is trying to scare people, these government health
[03:32.040 --> 03:36.440]  officials. Honestly, I don't know whether these government health officials, which is
[03:36.440 --> 03:42.760]  here in the US and in the EU and other locations around the world, I honestly don't know whether
[03:42.760 --> 03:49.160]  they're part of this panic machine that's feeding the media or whether they're just
[03:49.160 --> 03:54.040]  idiots. I don't get it. And I see them questioning all the time. Well, we don't understand this
[03:54.040 --> 03:59.820]  and we don't understand that. I come here, I explained it to you in a week or two weeks
[03:59.820 --> 04:04.040]  or five weeks down the road, boom, exactly what I said is going to happen happens. But
[04:04.040 --> 04:07.640]  yet the government health experts were like, we don't get it. We don't understand. It's
[04:07.640 --> 04:13.720]  a mystery. What the fuck? In a number of videos going back over the last few months, I have
[04:13.720 --> 04:19.560]  shown you country after country after country and state of the union and state of the union
[04:19.560 --> 04:23.680]  and state of the union, just on and on and on and on that have hit herd immunity. And
[04:23.680 --> 04:30.440]  you've seen the herd immunity as you just saw in Spain and India. So I want to shift
[04:30.640 --> 04:35.120]  because that's a pretty dramatic pyramid, right? It's very self evident. So there's
[04:35.120 --> 04:40.120]  a phenomenon going on in this country right now that doesn't produce that. And I think
[04:40.120 --> 04:43.400]  people might be a little confused about that. So I want to speak to it. And that is the
[04:43.400 --> 04:51.400]  spread of the virus in largely rural states that don't have large metropolises with people
[04:51.400 --> 04:55.440]  packed in on top of one another, which is where herd immunity occurs first in places
[04:55.440 --> 04:59.400]  like that. So I just want to take a look at two of those today because I think they are
[04:59.400 --> 05:05.480]  representative of what is going on now in rural states and what is going on in the rural
[05:05.480 --> 05:11.640]  states is impacting the numbers for the United States as a nation. The data graph you're
[05:11.640 --> 05:17.560]  looking at is the state of Indiana. And as you can see, there's a modest increase in
[05:17.560 --> 05:23.960]  cases. And if you don't understand the scale, if you don't look over here on the left, then
[05:23.960 --> 05:28.760]  you might think that this is absolutely terrible. Cases are going up, but they're not going
[05:28.760 --> 05:36.440]  up much. For instance, on this day right here, we're talking about just a wee bit over 1500
[05:36.440 --> 05:41.880]  new daily cases. Compare that to the state of New York, which when it was at its peak
[05:41.880 --> 05:48.440]  was having over 12,000 new daily cases in a day, but they've had herd immunity now.
[05:49.240 --> 05:57.640]  Switching to Iowa. Yeah, kind of the same thing. It's growing very gradually. Clearly,
[05:57.640 --> 06:02.520]  that is not a huge issue when you compare it to big cities that were in the tens of
[06:02.520 --> 06:07.240]  thousands of new daily cases. So the point I really wanted to get across is even though
[06:07.240 --> 06:13.960]  cases are continuing to spread throughout the community, which despite what the knucklehead
[06:13.960 --> 06:20.760]  say is actually a good and positive thing leading to herd immunity, right? Okay. So
[06:21.400 --> 06:28.280]  it just doesn't do this in a rural setting for the reasons I just explained. It permeates when
[06:28.280 --> 06:31.880]  you don't have population density, when people are spread out far and wide.
[06:33.320 --> 06:38.040]  It looks like on a data graph exactly what you just saw in Indiana and Iowa. It doesn't look
[06:38.040 --> 06:42.280]  like what you just saw in Indiana, and it doesn't look like what you just saw in Spain, and it
[06:42.280 --> 06:49.240]  doesn't look like what I've shown you in Arizona and Florida and Texas and on and on and on.
[06:49.240 --> 06:52.920]  With all this talk about herd immunity, I want to talk about a language
[06:52.920 --> 07:01.080]  issue that we have. A lot of society's perceptions are formed by the way society on the whole
[07:01.080 --> 07:04.520]  articulates things. I'll tell you what I mean when it comes to herd immunity.
[07:05.160 --> 07:14.440]  The phrase or the term herd immunity, when used by medical professionals across the planet,
[07:15.160 --> 07:24.680]  the almost completely exclusive meaning when they say herd immunity is herd immunity created
[07:24.680 --> 07:32.840]  via the existence and dissemination of a vaccine. When they say herd immunity, they don't mean
[07:33.400 --> 07:39.880]  the naturally occurring phenomenon that has existed on the planet Earth, since there was
[07:39.880 --> 07:47.000]  a planet Earth. They don't mean that. Here's the part about where I say language affects the
[07:47.000 --> 07:53.720]  perception of how people think. It leaves people like me who understand that this is always the
[07:53.720 --> 07:59.880]  way viruses have functioned concerning humanity on the planet Earth, it leaves us to put a qualifier
[07:59.880 --> 08:08.280]  of natural in front of the phrase herd immunity. When it's used in the media and it's used by
[08:08.280 --> 08:13.000]  virtually all medical professionals around the planet, herd immunity means vaccine.
[08:14.280 --> 08:20.120]  But for the rest of us who know how it really operates, we're left with having to stick this
[08:20.120 --> 08:27.080]  qualifier natural in front of the phrase herd immunity. In reality, it should be exactly the
[08:27.080 --> 08:34.200]  opposite. So I have changed how I speak and I'm hoping you will too. Herd immunity should always
[08:34.200 --> 08:44.040]  mean the dynamic that has existed between the Earth, mankind, and viruses since those three
[08:44.040 --> 08:50.440]  have existed on the planet. Just the two words herd immunity should always designate that natural
[08:50.440 --> 08:59.320]  process. We need to force the other a-holes to put the qualifier in front of their use of the word
[08:59.320 --> 09:03.800]  herd immunity. So we should call them out. We should say you just used the phrase herd immunity.
[09:03.880 --> 09:08.440]  Did you mean vaccine driven herd immunity? Because just the two words together, herd immunity
[09:08.440 --> 09:13.320]  means natural herd immunity. Did you mean vaccine driven herd immunity? If that's what you mean,
[09:13.320 --> 09:19.240]  you should put that qualifier in front of it because that is not nature. That is not how it
[09:19.240 --> 09:24.440]  worked until a couple hundred years ago. Millions and millions and millions and millions and millions
[09:24.440 --> 09:30.840]  and millions of years, herd immunity meant the way the Earth, mankind, and viruses interact.
[09:30.840 --> 09:36.680]  Only in the last couple hundred years has herd immunity meant driven by some form of vaccine.
[09:36.680 --> 09:48.120]  So I think we should spin that around. I know I've already begun doing it and I hope you will too.
