Detecting language using up to the first 30 seconds. Use `--language` to specify the language Detected language: English [00:00.800 --> 00:07.120] I'm Dave Champion. Infections are increasing pretty much everywhere in the United States and [00:07.120 --> 00:16.160] Europe concerning the SARS-CoV-2 virus, despite the fact that government has now for 10 months [00:16.160 --> 00:20.400] been telling us, we have to do this, we have to do that, we have to do the other, [00:20.400 --> 00:24.640] and if we just do these things then we'll all be okay and the virus won't spread. [00:25.280 --> 00:34.720] Yeah, okay. So the virus is spreading and the government on the whole is not being honest, [00:34.720 --> 00:43.440] is not admitting that its measures were completely, utterly meaningless and superfluous [00:43.440 --> 00:52.240] except to destroy the lives and economies of millions of people. So finally I came across [00:52.240 --> 01:00.080] I came across a single article of all places in the New York Times where government officials [01:00.080 --> 01:07.600] are starting to say, man, we just don't know. This is the New York Times headline. How are [01:07.600 --> 01:14.160] Americans catching the virus? Increasingly they have no idea. This is by Sarah Mirvosh [01:14.160 --> 01:19.920] and Lucy Tompkins and they did a really nice job with this article. They're still stuck sort of [01:19.920 --> 01:24.560] in the old paradigm, you know, the traditional establishment narrative, but on the whole they [01:24.560 --> 01:29.280] did a great job with the article and as we move forward I'm going to be quoting quite a bit from [01:29.280 --> 01:40.400] their article. Because I'm going to be quoting a lot from the New York Times article, I'm going [01:40.400 --> 01:46.480] to be looking down and reading from paper. So let's start with an individual who is a patient, [01:46.480 --> 01:50.960] somebody who tested positive and developed COVID-19 rather than one of the health experts. So [01:51.920 --> 01:59.760] Denny Taylor, 45 years of age, said he had taken exacting precautions, wearing a mask, [02:00.320 --> 02:06.480] getting groceries delivered before he became the first in his family and among his co-workers to [02:06.480 --> 02:15.440] test positive for the virus and develop COVID-19. His statement is, I was so careful. And that [02:15.440 --> 02:21.600] parallels some of the people in my universe, people who I know socially and friends, those [02:21.600 --> 02:28.080] who never wear a mask only social distance one in public because you never know who actually says, [02:28.080 --> 02:33.520] yeah man, you need to social distance. So most of my friends, including myself, we social distance [02:33.520 --> 02:37.360] in public because you never know what the other guy wants, right, you want to be respectful. [02:37.360 --> 02:41.920] But among ourselves we don't do that, we never wear masks, we shake hands, we hug our friends [02:41.920 --> 02:47.120] and so forth. Not a single one of us has been sick, nothing, zero. However, the people I know [02:47.120 --> 02:53.920] here in town who have been the most fastidious about following the government's instructions [02:53.920 --> 02:59.520] and wearing a mask every second they've been out of the house and so forth, yeah, some of those [02:59.520 --> 03:05.120] have tested positive and at least one gentleman I know was hospitalized for three weeks with COVID-19. [03:05.840 --> 03:10.720] My observation there for what it's worth is following the government instructions aren't [03:10.720 --> 03:19.760] going to help you at all and perhaps, perhaps may make things worse. So John Hopkins has been [03:19.760 --> 03:24.240] a big player in this. Whenever you try and search for something on the internet, statistics or facts [03:24.240 --> 03:28.880] about SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19, John Hopkins is one of the very first things that comes up [03:29.520 --> 03:34.560] in your search results. So I thought this was interesting. This gal's name, Crystal Watson, [03:34.560 --> 03:40.080] she's a senior scholar at the Center for Health Security at the John Hopkins Bloomberg School [03:40.080 --> 03:47.280] of Public Health and she says, speaking of the virus, quote, it's just kind of everywhere. [03:48.480 --> 03:54.640] I love it. So yeah, she's right. It is everywhere and more than she knows because [03:55.200 --> 04:00.160] what the media is not talking about and what any of these health experts are not talking about [04:00.160 --> 04:07.040] is how many people actually have been infected with the virus beyond those we know about. [04:07.040 --> 04:13.680] Is it for every one we test that we know is positive, is it 10 more, 20 more, 30 more, [04:13.680 --> 04:19.120] 40 more, 50 more, 60 more? Back at the beginning, when we were doing almost no testing, [04:19.120 --> 04:24.640] there were estimates as high as for every one person that tested, 80 other people had already [04:24.640 --> 04:28.560] been infected. Now that we're doing a ton of testing, I'm going to guess it's in the range [04:28.560 --> 04:34.320] of for every one person who's infected, there's 40 to 45 other people that are infected, what we [04:34.320 --> 04:42.640] know about versus what we don't know about. But because we don't know about, this is all speculation, [04:42.640 --> 04:50.720] but I think the important thing to keep in mind is it's 100% as much speculation for the experts [04:50.720 --> 04:55.600] as it is for you and I if you don't know if we're not testing. So how many people in that group over [04:55.600 --> 05:00.000] there that haven't been tested actually got infected? Yeah, I don't know. Fauci doesn't know. [05:00.560 --> 05:05.920] Carol Watson doesn't know and none of these people know. This one I find particularly, [05:06.960 --> 05:15.920] I don't know, amusing, ironic. Dr. Seo Yoon, who supervised a team of contact tracers in [05:15.920 --> 05:22.560] Massachusetts this spring said, quote, we were pretty successful and we're very proud of how [05:22.560 --> 05:30.000] the case numbers went down. Yeah, except from September 2nd until now as I'm doing this video, [05:30.640 --> 05:38.800] cases in Massachusetts are up 1500%. So I want to be very clear and I don't mean any offense to Dr. [05:38.800 --> 05:44.240] Yoon. Contact tracing had nothing to do with it. What he's doing is saying, well, me and my team [05:44.240 --> 05:48.960] were out contact tracing. We're so proud of our work because the cases aren't rising right now. [05:49.680 --> 05:53.040] Dr. Yoon's statement was about contact tracing and we're going to do a few more things about [05:53.040 --> 05:58.880] contact tracing here in just a moment. I just want to make clear that epidemiologists, [05:58.880 --> 06:07.280] communicable disease experts, they have pitched and the media has pitched it on their behalf. [06:07.280 --> 06:14.240] The contact tracing is some sort of a solution and it's not. Now there are some infections where [06:14.240 --> 06:25.120] contact tracing can work effectively. It's got a low rate of transmissibility and you have rapid [06:25.120 --> 06:30.560] testing. So it doesn't transmit readily from person to person. I mean, it does, but not with, [06:30.560 --> 06:37.280] for instance, the speed of SARS-CoV-2. It maybe doesn't have up to a 14-day incubation period [06:37.840 --> 06:42.160] and you can get tested and know by like the end of the day or the next morning, [06:42.160 --> 06:48.160] which is not at all what's going on here in the United States. Interesting story. A friend of mine, [06:48.160 --> 06:51.760] a couple weeks back, he wasn't feeling well. He went to the doctor and of course the doctor [06:51.760 --> 06:58.000] was going to be tested for COVID-19. So he takes the test. Like I said, it's been close to two weeks [06:58.000 --> 07:04.800] now. Never heard a peep, not positive, not negative, just never heard from them. So yeah, [07:04.800 --> 07:10.160] the testing is super efficient in the United States. So the real underlying point I want to make is [07:10.160 --> 07:21.040] that contact tracing with SARS-CoV-2 is not a viable tool to supposedly get out in front of [07:21.040 --> 07:27.360] the virus. Some viruses, contact tracing can accomplish that. Here it's just a waste of time [07:27.360 --> 07:34.160] and energy because we're never going to get out in front of SARS-CoV-2. It spreads too rapidly and [07:34.240 --> 07:41.520] it has too long an incubation period. I mean, I get epidemiologists and communicable disease experts. [07:42.240 --> 07:49.280] This is really their heyday, the last 10 months, right? This is some pretty heady stuff for them [07:49.280 --> 07:54.400] for the epidemiologists and communicable disease experts. So of course they're going to pitch, [07:54.960 --> 07:59.440] oh, guess what I have? I got this in my toolbox and I've got that in my toolbox and yeah, [07:59.440 --> 08:03.360] those things are tools in your toolbox and it is tools in the toolbox for [08:04.320 --> 08:08.560] certain viruses. The problem is they're telling the public, hey, look what I have in my toolbox, [08:08.560 --> 08:16.800] even though this doesn't work on that problem. Dr. Ogechika Olozi, if I'm pronouncing that [08:16.800 --> 08:24.800] correctly, Chief Medical Officer at Del Sol Medical Center in El Paso, quote, contact tracing is not [08:24.800 --> 08:31.040] going to save us. Yeah, right. Just like I said. What I'm about to share with you is the actual [08:31.040 --> 08:37.200] writing of the two reporters who wrote the article and it says, in North Dakota, state officials [08:37.200 --> 08:42.960] announced they could no longer have one-on-one conversations with everyone who may have been [08:42.960 --> 08:49.840] exposed. Aside from situations involving schools and healthcare facilities, people who test positive [08:49.840 --> 08:57.200] were advised to notify their own contacts, leaving residents largely on their own to follow the trail [08:57.200 --> 09:04.560] of the outbreak. Okay, so yeah, that's factual. But you've always been on your own. For the very [09:04.560 --> 09:10.880] reason I just said, if you've got, especially back in the early days where it was possible, [09:10.880 --> 09:16.480] we don't know, again, we don't know, but it seems very reasonable that for every one person who got [09:16.480 --> 09:19.760] tested back in the early days when virtually nobody was getting tested, for every one person [09:19.760 --> 09:24.960] that got tested, 80 were already infected. As far as contact tracing, which was non-existent in that [09:24.960 --> 09:31.200] day anyway, it was just beginning to ramp up, you were on your own, right? So if we go back, say, [09:31.200 --> 09:36.480] a month ago, we say for every one person tested who comes up positive, there's 40 or 45 people [09:36.480 --> 09:41.760] that are also infected, but nobody knows about them because they're asymptomatic or they just [09:41.840 --> 09:47.040] stayed home or whatever the case is. You're not contact tracing them either, right? So you cut [09:47.040 --> 09:52.080] this guy, you're contact tracing, and all of these people, you're not contact tracing. Yeah, [09:52.080 --> 09:56.000] we've always been on our own. Again, quoting the words of the two reporters, [09:56.640 --> 10:02.160] in Philadelphia City, officials acknowledged that they now must leave some cases untracked. Well, [10:02.160 --> 10:07.680] they were actually leaving the vast majority of cases untracked, but that's, we talked about that. [10:08.240 --> 10:12.000] Most people, they said, are catching the virus through friends and family. [10:13.360 --> 10:20.080] Golly gee whiz, you think? And it's been that way since day one. The only difference is now that [10:20.080 --> 10:29.760] they can't pretend to be having some sort of effective control over the virus. No, they can't [10:29.760 --> 10:35.440] even remotely claim that without looking like idiots. Now they're like, it's you people, [10:35.440 --> 10:41.280] friends and family. This is from Dr. Arnold S. Monto, a professor of epidemiology at the [10:41.280 --> 10:46.960] University of Michigan. Quote, we weren't supposed to get to this point. If you have five clusters [10:46.960 --> 10:54.720] going on at the same time, it's hard to say where it came from. Okay, so yeah, it's impossible to [10:54.720 --> 11:00.240] say where it came from if you have one cluster. It's impossible to say where it came from if you [11:00.240 --> 11:05.920] have one person test positive. You can guess if the person says, well, I was at the grocery store [11:05.920 --> 11:10.400] and I was at Home Depot and I was at Walmart and I was at my sister Mary's house and I picked up [11:10.400 --> 11:19.520] her kids from school. You're guessing. Kaylee Lingang, I'm probably pronouncing that wrong. [11:19.520 --> 11:25.440] She's a 21-year-old contact tracer in Grand Forks, North Dakota. And she said, quote, [11:26.240 --> 11:34.720] people are realizing that you can get it anywhere. People are realizing, like the light bulb just [11:34.720 --> 11:38.640] went on, you can get it anywhere. What, did you think you could only go and get it at the store? [11:38.640 --> 11:43.760] It's on sale? Yeah, of course you get it anywhere. Now, so one of the really funny things about this [11:43.760 --> 11:49.680] is she and a couple of her colleagues tested positive. So now she's trying to contact, [11:49.680 --> 11:55.760] she's a contact tracer, right? So she's trying to contact trace it. And she alleges that she [11:55.760 --> 12:02.480] knows she got it from her parents because several days earlier than she tested positive, her parents [12:02.480 --> 12:09.600] were exhibiting symptoms. That doesn't mean that's where she got it, right? So then she believes [12:09.600 --> 12:15.520] that that's it. Okay. My parents had it. They're symptomatic. I test positive. It's them. That's [12:15.520 --> 12:21.200] a presumption. There's no proof there, right? That's a presumption. Fair enough. So then she [12:21.200 --> 12:25.200] says to her parents, now she's a contact tracer, right? She's like trying to work with her parents [12:25.200 --> 12:32.240] to find out where they got it. She said, they have no idea. And that's pretty much how it always is [12:32.240 --> 12:39.440] with contact tracing. Again, the words of the two reporters, in earlier, quieter periods of the [12:39.440 --> 12:46.480] pandemic, people could ask a common question, quote, where did you get it? And often find [12:46.480 --> 12:55.680] tangible answers. No, ladies, they did not find tangible answers. They guessed just like this gal [12:55.680 --> 13:00.480] who is the contact tracer. She's guessing she got it from her parents because the parents are the [13:00.480 --> 13:07.440] visible ones. Oh, my parents had symptoms several days before I tested. It must be them. Doesn't [13:07.440 --> 13:16.880] mean it's them. There's no tangible answers. This whole construct is absurd. And the lion's share [13:16.880 --> 13:23.600] of the U.S. population is just like, well, yeah, okay. I think some of the early events sort of [13:23.600 --> 13:28.160] promoted this idea that the experts actually knew what they were talking about. I'll give you an [13:28.160 --> 13:34.880] example. When testing was not prevalent, they went in and they tested certain factories. So [13:34.880 --> 13:42.400] they would go into a factory with 300 people and 227 would test positive. And they would say, [13:42.400 --> 13:49.600] see, the outbreak is in the factory. What's your point? That's not science. That's not [13:50.240 --> 13:58.560] whiz-bang epidemiology. It's common sense. Somebody gets infected and it goes on for weeks [13:58.560 --> 14:01.200] and weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks because you're not testing, right? [14:01.280 --> 14:08.480] They're working shoulder-to-shoulder eight hours a day. And then suddenly health officials come in [14:08.480 --> 14:12.800] and say, well, we're going to test everyone in this factory. Oh, look, you all have it. That's [14:12.800 --> 14:20.480] not stunning science or sizzling epidemiological talent. That's common fucking sense. When I run [14:20.480 --> 14:25.520] into people who tell me masks work, I share a little bit of information with them and then I [14:25.520 --> 14:29.840] ask them to share a little bit of information with me. The information I share with them is that [14:29.840 --> 14:37.040] is that in 1920, the very first research was done concerning wearing masks during a pandemic [14:37.040 --> 14:46.560] was on the heels of the Spanish flu. And I point out that that study concluded that the unintended [14:46.560 --> 14:53.440] consequence of wearing masks during the Spanish flu was it actually caused more infections, [14:54.320 --> 15:00.880] not less. I then point out to them that in the hundred years since that study, [15:02.080 --> 15:12.480] not one single study has concluded that wearing a mask slows or halts the spread of a virus. [15:14.160 --> 15:22.240] Not one. So I ask them, those are the facts. So do you have one? Am I missing something? Because [15:22.240 --> 15:28.320] I'm pretty thorough in my research, right? Physiology is my bag. Research is my bag. So [15:29.520 --> 15:36.400] you have something for me. They never do because it doesn't exist. You can't come up with something [15:36.400 --> 15:40.880] that doesn't exist. I love it. One lady said, well, are you referring to the National Institutes of [15:40.880 --> 15:49.280] Health Study where they concluded that they don't know that masks don't help? As if an open question [15:49.360 --> 15:53.200] like, well, we don't know it might help. It's science. No, it doesn't work that way. [15:53.200 --> 15:58.640] But no, they're never able to answer. Well, yeah, here's a study that showed that wearing masks [15:58.640 --> 16:05.680] halts or slows the spread of a virus. In a hundred years, not one. So I share that story [16:05.680 --> 16:14.560] to draw this parallel. I think you should say to everyone you talk to about this pandemic, [16:15.280 --> 16:23.200] you should say in the history of mankind, but most specifically, we'll limit it to say what [16:23.200 --> 16:31.600] we call modern science, say the 20th and 21st centuries. Can you name a single viral outbreak, [16:31.600 --> 16:37.520] and I'm talking about that's readily contagious, not something like HIV, or hep C that requires [16:37.520 --> 16:43.040] the exchange of intimate bodily fluids. I'm talking about readily communicable, readily [16:43.680 --> 16:54.000] transmissible virus. Can you tell me one single case in the last 120 years in which government [16:54.000 --> 17:07.440] action halted the spread of a virus? I'll wait. Because the answer is none. So as I look at these [17:07.440 --> 17:14.240] less than intelligent people around me in this country, in America, that are like, [17:15.040 --> 17:24.240] we just need to do what the government says. Why? No government has ever taken any action [17:24.240 --> 17:34.800] in the history of mankind that has halted the spread of any virus ever. So based on that reality, [17:35.440 --> 17:40.880] why are people investing themselves in this? I don't get it. Is it that they're so fearful [17:40.880 --> 17:47.920] they have to cling to some sort of idiotic illusion? So here's the deal. Anybody with a [17:47.920 --> 17:52.320] brain understands that all these government measures since day one have been utterly absurd [17:52.320 --> 18:00.000] and nonsensical. They have cost God knows how many lives, but that's what these crazy dictatorial, [18:00.000 --> 18:04.480] lunatic governors have done, exercising emergency powers, which in terms of the [18:04.480 --> 18:10.160] virus essentially makes them the worst dictators the world has ever known. So what is there we can [18:10.160 --> 18:14.560] do about that? Oh, you're not going to like the answer to that because Americans are addicted [18:14.560 --> 18:20.000] to being comfortable. We just don't want anything to ruffle our feathers. We don't want to be [18:20.000 --> 18:24.720] uncomfortable about anything. Yeah, because we're Americans. We just love comfort. Yeah, [18:24.720 --> 18:29.440] we've lost the spirit of resistance. But if you want to stop this, the answer is mass [18:29.440 --> 18:33.840] civil disobedience. You tell the governors, Hey, look, I know you got these mandates, [18:33.840 --> 18:45.520] and here's your mandate right here. Stop doing it.
