00:00:00,700 --> 00:00:02,600
Welcome to Keith's night. 
Don't tread on anyone. 

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:05,800
This is 12 times. 
The lock downers were wrong by 

3
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:09,300
film Agnes of the American 
Institute for economic research 

4
00:00:09,300 --> 00:00:12,400
before getting into his 12. 
Let's just review the general 

5
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:16,000
narrative that if they are our 
mask mandates, more people will 

6
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,700
wear masks and this will lead to
a decrease in cases. 

7
00:00:18,900 --> 00:00:21,000
Then we will eventually get rid 
of the virus. 

8
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,400
That is not what has happened. 
Virtually anywhere. 

9
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:28,900
If we look at all Austria where 
Mass were required we later saw 

10
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,900
a drastic increase in cases. 
We saw the same thing in 

11
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:33,600
Germany. 
If you look at the numbers, they

12
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,900
are again. 
These are per million. 

13
00:00:35,900 --> 00:00:38,700
Of course, there are differences
in population. 

14
00:00:38,700 --> 00:00:41,400
In France. 
They had a mask requirement. 

15
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:46,600
And later a significant increase
in cases, Spain, same thing, 

16
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,100
United Kingdom. 
Same thing, Belgium, same thing.

17
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,600
So, again, I'm not saying there 
is no virus. 

18
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,700
I'm just saying the existence of
a virus doesn't justify 

19
00:00:55,700 --> 00:01:00,100
lockdowns and doesn't justify an
increase in state power anymore 

20
00:01:00,100 --> 00:01:01,500
than it. 
Justifies, you know what? 

21
00:01:01,500 --> 00:01:05,500
There's a terrible virus there 
for Russia has the right to rule

22
00:01:05,500 --> 00:01:07,400
America. 
Well, no, just because there's a

23
00:01:07,408 --> 00:01:10,900
virus in America doesn't mean 
the government has the right to 

24
00:01:10,900 --> 00:01:14,300
rule peaceful peaceful 
individuals, Italy. 

25
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,300
Same thing. 
Even if you look within European

26
00:01:17,300 --> 00:01:21,000
countries, come areas that 
required Mass versus no math 

27
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,000
requirement. 
There was not a direct 

28
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,100
correlation, which you'd think 
there would be if you listen to 

29
00:01:26,500 --> 00:01:30,400
fauci and the lock downers, even
though you have very high mass. 

30
00:01:30,500 --> 00:01:33,500
In these areas, you can see the 
same thing with in America, 

31
00:01:34,300 --> 00:01:39,100
California requires, masks and 
later, season increase in cases,

32
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:43,200
Hawaii requires masks, both 
indoor and outdoor at different 

33
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:47,000
periods in the year 2020. 
And there was still an increase.

34
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,800
If you look at Texas versus 
Georgia where there was a mass 

35
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,300
requirement whereas in Georgia, 
there was not a match 

36
00:01:52,300 --> 00:01:54,500
requirement. 
You don't see the correlation. 

37
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,700
We were promised. 
You can even look at cases per 

38
00:01:57,700 --> 00:02:00,300
million from Texas, Georgia, New
York. 

39
00:02:00,500 --> 00:02:02,900
And Sweden. 
And you don't see the 

40
00:02:02,900 --> 00:02:07,100
correlation that they use as a 
justification for increasing 

41
00:02:07,100 --> 00:02:10,000
state. 
Power back to the article 12 

42
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,300
times. 
The lockdown owners were wrong. 

43
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,000
Number one. 
Anthony fauci says, lockdowns 

44
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,300
are not possible in the United 
States. 

45
00:02:17,300 --> 00:02:20,700
January 24th. 
When asked about Mass quarantine

46
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,300
containment efforts underway in 
Wuhan China. 

47
00:02:23,300 --> 00:02:27,100
Back in January, fauci dismissed
the prospect of lockdowns ever 

48
00:02:27,100 --> 00:02:29,900
coming to the United States. 
That's something that I don't 

49
00:02:29,900 --> 00:02:31,600
think we could. 
Possibly do in the United 

50
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,500
States. 
I'm can imagine shutting down 

51
00:02:33,500 --> 00:02:37,100
New York or Los Angeles, but the
judgment on the part of the 

52
00:02:37,108 --> 00:02:41,000
Chinese Health authorities is 
that given the fact that it's 

53
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,200
spreading throughout the 
provinces. 

54
00:02:43,300 --> 00:02:46,800
It's their judgment. 
That this is something that in 

55
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:51,000
fact is going to help in 
containing it whether or not it 

56
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,400
does or does not is really open 
to question because 

57
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,100
historically, when you shut 
things down, it doesn't have a 

58
00:02:58,100 --> 00:03:00,300
major effect less than two 
months later. 

59
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:05,200
Later, 43 of 50, US states were 
under lockdown, a policy, 

60
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:11,400
advocated by fauci himself. 
Number two, US government and 

61
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,400
World Health Organization. 
Officials advise against mask, 

62
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:18,300
use February and March. 
When mask sales Spike due to 

63
00:03:18,300 --> 00:03:21,200
widespread individual adoption 
in the early weeks of the 

64
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,100
pandemic, numerous US government
and World Health. 

65
00:03:24,100 --> 00:03:28,200
Organization officials took to 
the airwaves to describe masks 

66
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:32,300
as ineffective and discourage 
their use Surgeon General Jerome

67
00:03:32,300 --> 00:03:35,100
Adams tweeted against masks on 
February 29th. 

68
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,300
Anthony fauci publicly 
discouraged mask. 

69
00:03:38,300 --> 00:03:40,900
Use it in. 
Nationally broadcast, 60 Minutes

70
00:03:40,900 --> 00:03:44,100
interview on March 7th at in 
March 30th. 

71
00:03:44,100 --> 00:03:45,800
World, Health Organization 
briefing. 

72
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,300
It's director-general supported 
mask use in medical settings, 

73
00:03:49,500 --> 00:03:54,400
but dissuaded the same in the 
general public, by mid-summer, 

74
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,100
all had reverse course and 
encourage mask-wearing in the 

75
00:03:58,100 --> 00:04:01,500
general public as an essential 
tool for halting the pandemic 

76
00:04:01,700 --> 00:04:03,700
fauci. 
Essentially conceded that he 

77
00:04:03,700 --> 00:04:07,400
lied to the public in order to 
prevent a shortage of masks. 

78
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,900
Whereas other health officials. 
Did an about-face on these 

79
00:04:10,900 --> 00:04:15,800
scientific claims around masking
while mainstream epidemiology 

80
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,000
literature stressed? 
The ambiguous nature of evidence

81
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,600
surrounding mass as recently as 
2019 these scientists were 

82
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,900
suddenly certain that masks were
something of a Magic Bullet for 

83
00:04:25,900 --> 00:04:28,200
covid. 
It turns out that both positions

84
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,200
are likely wrong Mass appear to 
have marginal effect at 

85
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:35,200
diminishing spread, especially 
in highly infectious settings 

86
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,300
and around the vulnerable but 
their effectiveness at combating

87
00:04:38,300 --> 00:04:41,400
covid. 
Also been grossly exaggerated as

88
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,500
illustrated by the fact that 
mask adoption reach near 

89
00:04:44,500 --> 00:04:48,700
Universal levels in the US, by 
the summer, with little 

90
00:04:48,700 --> 00:04:53,800
discernible effect, on the 
course of the pandemic. 

91
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,300
Number three, Anthony fauci is 
decimal error. 

92
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,600
In estimating covid fatality 
rates, March 11th, fauci 

93
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,700
testified before Congress in 
early, March where he was asked 

94
00:05:05,700 --> 00:05:08,000
to estimate the severity of the 
disease. 

95
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,300
In comparison to influenza his 
testimony, that covid-19 10 

96
00:05:12,300 --> 00:05:14,600
times more lethal than the 
seasonal, flu soaked. 

97
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,900
Widespread alarm and provided a 
major impetus for the decision 

98
00:05:18,900 --> 00:05:22,100
to go into lockdown. 
The problem as Ronald Brown 

99
00:05:22,100 --> 00:05:24,700
documented and epidemiology 
Journal article. 

100
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:29,500
That fauci based his estimates 
on a conflation of the infection

101
00:05:29,500 --> 00:05:34,200
fatality rate and case fatality 
rate, for influenza leading him 

102
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:38,300
to exaggerate the comparative 
danger of covid by an order of 

103
00:05:38,300 --> 00:05:41,500
magnitude Fouch. 
He's error, which he further 

104
00:05:41,500 --> 00:05:44,600
compounded. 
Compounded in a late February 

105
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,400
article for the New England 
Journal of Medicine. 

106
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,800
Help to convince Congress of the
need for drastic lockdown 

107
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,200
measures while also spreading 
panic in the media, and General 

108
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,300
Public. 
As of writing fauci has not 

109
00:05:57,300 --> 00:06:00,700
acknowledged the magnitude of 
his error Norm, has the journal 

110
00:06:00,700 --> 00:06:06,000
corrected, his article. 
Number 42 weeks to flatten the 

111
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,800
curve, March 16th, the lockdown 
or settled on a catchy slogan in

112
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,500
mid-march to justify their 
unprecedented. 

113
00:06:12,500 --> 00:06:15,200
Shuttering of economic and 
social life around the globe, 

114
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,500
two weeks to flatten the curve, 
the White House covid. 

115
00:06:18,500 --> 00:06:20,100
Task force aggressively 
promoted. 

116
00:06:20,100 --> 00:06:24,100
This line as did the news media 
and much of the epidemiology 

117
00:06:24,100 --> 00:06:27,500
profession. 
The logic behind the slogan came

118
00:06:27,500 --> 00:06:31,000
from the ubiquitous graph 
showing one a steep caseload 

119
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,800
that would overwhelm our 
hospital system. 

120
00:06:33,700 --> 00:06:38,500
Or to a mitigated alternative, 
that would spread the caseload 

121
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,000
out over several weeks, making 
it manageable to get to graph to

122
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,900
society, would need to buckle up
for two weeks of shelter in 

123
00:06:44,900 --> 00:06:47,400
place. 
Orders until the capacity issue 

124
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,600
could be managed indeed. 
We were told that if we did not 

125
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,400
accept this solution, the 
hospital system would enter into

126
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,400
a catastrophic failure and only 
10 days as former DHS. 

127
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,400
Pandemic, adviser Tom, Bossard 
claimed in a widely circulated 

128
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:07,000
interview and Post column on 
March 11th, two weeks came and 

129
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,300
went. 
Then the rationale on which they

130
00:07:10,300 --> 00:07:13,900
were sold to the public shifted 
hospitals, were no longer on the

131
00:07:13,900 --> 00:07:16,600
verge of being overwhelmed. 
Indeed, most hospitals 

132
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:21,100
Nationwide remained well under 
capacity with only a tiny number

133
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,900
of exceptions in the worst-hit 
neighborhoods of New York City. 

134
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:31,700
A US Navy hospital, ship sent to
relieve New York, departed a 

135
00:07:31,700 --> 00:07:36,000
month later after serving only. 
182 patients and a pop-up 

136
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:40,400
Hospital in the city's Javits 
Convention Center, sat mostly 

137
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,900
empty, but the lockdowns 
remained in place as did the 

138
00:07:43,900 --> 00:07:47,500
emergency orders justifying 
them, two weeks became a month 

139
00:07:47,500 --> 00:07:50,200
which became two months which 
became almost a year. 

140
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,700
We were no longer flattening the
curve a strategy premised on 

141
00:07:53,700 --> 00:07:57,200
saving the hospital system from 
a threat that never manifested 

142
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,000
but instead we focused on using 
lockdowns as a general 

143
00:08:01,100 --> 00:08:03,500
suppression strategy against the
disease. 

144
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,700
He's itself in short, the 
epidemiology profession sold us 

145
00:08:07,700 --> 00:08:12,700
a bill of goods. 
Number 5, Niall Ferguson 

146
00:08:12,700 --> 00:08:17,300
predicts, a best-case US 
scenario of 1.1 million deaths, 

147
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:21,600
March 20th, the name, Neil 
Ferguson the lead modeler and 

148
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,000
chief spokesman for Imperial 
College. 

149
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,200
London has pandemic response 
team has become synonymous with 

150
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,000
lockdown alarmism for a good 
reason. 

151
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:33,600
Ferguson had a long track live 
record of making grossly 

152
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,700
exaggerated predictions of 
catastrophic death tolls for 

153
00:08:36,700 --> 00:08:40,000
almost every single disease that
comes along and Urging 

154
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,200
aggressive policy responses to 
the same, including lockdowns, 

155
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:48,000
covid-19 different, and Ferguson
assumed Center Stage when he 

156
00:08:48,008 --> 00:08:52,000
released a highly influential 
model of the viruses, death toll

157
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,200
forecast for the US and UK 
Ferguson appeared. 

158
00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:00,900
With UK prime minister, Boris 
Johnson on March 16 to announce 

159
00:09:00,900 --> 00:09:03,900
the shift toward lockdowns, with
no small irony. 

160
00:09:03,900 --> 00:09:08,200
He was coming down with covid 
himself at the time and may have

161
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:13,000
been the 80 of super spreader 
event that ran through Downing 

162
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,700
Street and infected Johnson 
himself across the Atlantic, 

163
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,000
Anthony fauci and Deborah brick 
cited. 

164
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,700
Ferguson's model as a direct 
justification for locking down. 

165
00:09:23,700 --> 00:09:25,500
The u.s. 
There was a problem though, 

166
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,400
Ferguson had a bad habit of 
dramatically. 

167
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,600
Hyping his own predictions to 
political leaders and oppress 

168
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,200
the Imperial College paper 
modeled a broad range of 

169
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:40,600
scenarios including death tolls 
that ranged from Of thousands to

170
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,400
over two million but Ferguson's 
public statements, only 

171
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,200
stressed. 
The latter, even though the 

172
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,200
paper itself conceded, that such
an extreme. 

173
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,100
Worst case scenario was highly 
unrealistic. 

174
00:09:52,300 --> 00:09:54,700
A telling example came on March 
20th. 

175
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,600
When the New York Times Nicholas
Kristoff contacted the Imperial 

176
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:02,900
College modeler to, ask about 
the most likely scenario for the

177
00:10:02,900 --> 00:10:06,000
United States as Christoph 
related to his readers. 

178
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,500
I asked Ferguson for his best 
case about 1.1 million. 

179
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:15,400
Ian deaths, he said, Number 6, 
researchers in Sweden, use the 

180
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,900
Imperial College model to 
predict 95 thousand deaths, 

181
00:10:18,900 --> 00:10:23,100
April 10th after Neil Ferguson 
shocking death, toll predictions

182
00:10:23,100 --> 00:10:27,000
for the US and UK captivated 
policymaker attention and drove 

183
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,300
both governments into lockdown. 
Researchers. 

184
00:10:30,300 --> 00:10:32,100
In other countries began 
adopting. 

185
00:10:32,100 --> 00:10:35,200
The Imperial College model to 
their own circumstances. 

186
00:10:35,500 --> 00:10:39,200
Usually these models sought to 
reaffirm the decision of each 

187
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,300
country to lock down the 
government. 

188
00:10:41,500 --> 00:10:44,800
Sweden, however, had decided to 
Buck the trend. 

189
00:10:44,900 --> 00:10:48,400
Setting the stage for a natural 
experiment to test. 

190
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,400
The Imperial models performance 
in early, April a team of 

191
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,700
researchers in Upsala 
University, adopted the Imperial

192
00:10:56,700 --> 00:11:00,900
model to Sweden's population and
demographics and ran its 

193
00:11:00,900 --> 00:11:05,100
projections that result if 
Sweden stayed the course and did

194
00:11:05,100 --> 00:11:07,600
not lock down. 
It could expect a catastrophic 

195
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:12,000
96 thousand deaths by early 
summer the Is of the study 

196
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,100
recommended going into immediate
lockdown butts and Sweden, lag 

197
00:11:15,100 --> 00:11:17,400
behind your up in adopting such 
measures. 

198
00:11:17,700 --> 00:11:21,300
They also predicted that this 
best-case option would reduce 

199
00:11:21,300 --> 00:11:24,700
deaths by only 30,000 in early 
June. 

200
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,700
When the 96,000 prediction was 
supposed to come true. 

201
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,500
Sweden had recorded four 
thousand six hundred deaths in 

202
00:11:31,500 --> 00:11:36,400
six months later. 
Sweden has about 8,000 a severe,

203
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:40,900
pandemic to be sure but in order
of magnitude smaller than what 

204
00:11:40,900 --> 00:11:43,300
the modeler. 
Predicted fixing embarrassment 

205
00:11:43,300 --> 00:11:46,800
from these results Ferguson and 
Imperial College attempted to 

206
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,800
distance themselves from the 
Swedish adaptation of their 

207
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,900
model. 
In early, May yet Upsala steam 

208
00:11:53,900 --> 00:11:58,200
projections closely matched, 
Imperial Zone, UK, and US 

209
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,400
predictions. 
When scaled to reflect their 

210
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,100
population. 
Sizes, in short, the empirical 

211
00:12:04,100 --> 00:12:08,000
model catastrophically failed. 
One of the few clear natural 

212
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,300
experiment tests of its 
predictive. 

213
00:12:11,500 --> 00:12:16,200
Ability. 
Seven scientists suggest that 

214
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,900
Ocean Spray spreads covid, April
2nd. 

215
00:12:19,900 --> 00:12:23,900
In the 2nd week of the lockdown,
several newspapers in California

216
00:12:23,900 --> 00:12:28,400
promoter bizarre Theory covid 
could spread by Ocean Spray. 

217
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,500
Although the paper later walked 
back, the headline, grabbing 

218
00:12:31,500 --> 00:12:34,100
claim. 
It is outlined here in the Los 

219
00:12:34,100 --> 00:12:36,900
Angeles Times. 
According to this Theory, 

220
00:12:36,900 --> 00:12:41,200
initially promoted by a group of
biologists who study bacterial 

221
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:46,100
infection connected to. 
Storm runoff, the covid virus 

222
00:12:46,100 --> 00:12:50,600
washed down storm, gutters and 
into the oceans, where the ocean

223
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:55,500
breeze would kick it up into the
air and infect people on the 

224
00:12:55,500 --> 00:12:58,900
nearby beaches as silly. 
As this Theory sounds that 

225
00:12:58,900 --> 00:13:02,600
helped inform California's 
initially, Draconian enforcement

226
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,500
of lockdowns on its public 
beaches the same week that this 

227
00:13:06,500 --> 00:13:11,200
modern-day my aspect drift 
theory appeared police in Malibu

228
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:15,100
even arrested a loan. 
Order for going into the ocean 

229
00:13:15,100 --> 00:13:18,800
during the lockdown, all while 
citing the possibility that the 

230
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,700
ocean breeze, carried covid with
it. 

231
00:13:22,300 --> 00:13:26,600
Number 8 Niall Ferguson predicts
catastrophic death tolls in u.s.

232
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,500
States. 
That reopen May 24th Fresh Off 

233
00:13:29,500 --> 00:13:32,300
Their exaggerated predictions 
from March to the Imperial 

234
00:13:32,300 --> 00:13:35,600
College team led by Neil 
Ferguson doubled down on 

235
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,500
alarmist modeling as several. 
US states started to reopen in 

236
00:13:39,500 --> 00:13:43,200
late, April and May Ferguson. 
And his colleagues published a 

237
00:13:43,208 --> 00:13:45,900
new model, predicting. 
Another catastrophic wave of 

238
00:13:45,900 --> 00:13:49,800
deaths by mid-summer their model
focused on five states with both

239
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,500
moderate and severe outbreaks. 
During the first wave if they 

240
00:13:53,500 --> 00:13:57,500
reopened according to the 
Imperial teams model, New York 

241
00:13:57,500 --> 00:14:02,400
could face up to three thousand 
deaths per day by July. 

242
00:14:02,700 --> 00:14:07,300
Florida could hit as high as 
4,000 and California could hit 

243
00:14:07,300 --> 00:14:10,300
5000 daily deaths. 
Keeping in mind that these 

244
00:14:10,300 --> 00:14:12,200
projections were for each state 
alone. 

245
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,800
They exceeded the daily death 
told Peaks for the entire 

246
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:20,600
country in both the fall and 
spring showing just how bad the 

247
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,400
Imperial model was the actual 
death told by mid-july in 

248
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,700
several of the examine States 
even fell below the lower 

249
00:14:28,700 --> 00:14:32,300
confidence boundary of its 
projected count, while covid 

250
00:14:32,300 --> 00:14:33,900
remains a threat in all five 
states. 

251
00:14:33,900 --> 00:14:38,800
The post reopening explosion of 
death predicted by Imperial 

252
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,600
College and used to argue for 
keeping the lockdowns in place, 

253
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:47,200
never happened. 
Number nine, Anthony fauci. 

254
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:51,200
Credits lockdowns for beating 
the virus in Europe, July 31st 

255
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,700
in Late, July Anthony fauci, 
offered additional testimony to 

256
00:14:54,700 --> 00:14:57,500
Congress. 
His message, credited Europe's, 

257
00:14:57,700 --> 00:14:59,800
heavy lockdowns with defeating 
the virus. 

258
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,800
Whereas he blamed the United 
States for reopening too early, 

259
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,000
and for insufficient 
aggressiveness in the initial 

260
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,100
lockdowns as fauci stated at the
time. 

261
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,500
If you look at what happened in 
Europe, when they shut down, or 

262
00:15:12,500 --> 00:15:14,800
lockdown or went to shelter in 
place, however, you want to 

263
00:15:14,808 --> 00:15:18,500
describe It, they really did it 
to the tune of about 95 percent 

264
00:15:18,500 --> 00:15:22,100
plus of the country did that the
message was clear. 

265
00:15:22,300 --> 00:15:24,700
The United States should have 
followed your up, but failed to 

266
00:15:24,700 --> 00:15:27,700
do so. 
So and got a summer wave of 

267
00:15:27,700 --> 00:15:29,700
covid. 
Instead, now cheese, entire 

268
00:15:29,700 --> 00:15:32,500
argument. 
However, was based on a string 

269
00:15:32,500 --> 00:15:38,400
of falsehoods and errors, 
Mobility data from the US, 

270
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,100
clearly showed that most 
Americans were staying home. 

271
00:15:41,100 --> 00:15:45,100
During the Spring outbreak with 
a recorded decline that match. 

272
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,700
Germany, the Netherlands and 
several other European 

273
00:15:47,700 --> 00:15:49,300
countries. 
Contrary to Fouch. 

274
00:15:49,300 --> 00:15:52,200
He's claimed, the US was 
actually slower than most of 

275
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,600
Europe to reopen. 
Furthermore, his praise of 

276
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,700
Europe collapsed in early fall 
when almost all of the lockdown 

277
00:15:58,900 --> 00:16:02,400
countries in Europe, experienced
severe, second waves, just like 

278
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,500
the lockdown regions in the 
United States. 

279
00:16:06,900 --> 00:16:10,100
Number 10, New Zealand, and 
Australia, declare themselves, 

280
00:16:10,100 --> 00:16:13,400
covid, free August to the 
present New Zealand and 

281
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:17,500
Australia have thus far whether 
the pandemic with extremely low 

282
00:16:17,500 --> 00:16:20,400
case, counsel leading, many 
epidemiologists and journalists 

283
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,800
to conflate these results with 
evidence of their successful and

284
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:27,800
replicable mitigation policies 
in reality, New Zealand and 

285
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,600
Australia. 
Opted, for the medieval Prince 

286
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:34,700
Prospero strategy of attempting 
to wall themselves from the 

287
00:16:34,700 --> 00:16:37,900
world until the pandemic passes 
and a That is highly dependent 

288
00:16:37,900 --> 00:16:41,400
on their unique geographies as 
island nations with 

289
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:45,300
comparatively lower 
international travel than North 

290
00:16:45,300 --> 00:16:47,300
America and Europe. 
Both countries. 

291
00:16:47,300 --> 00:16:52,700
Shut down their borders. 
Before, as of yet, undetected 

292
00:16:52,700 --> 00:16:56,000
virus became widespread and have
remained closed. 

293
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,500
Ever since it's a costly 
strategy in terms of its 

294
00:16:58,500 --> 00:17:01,800
economic impact and personal 
displacement, but it kept the 

295
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,900
virus out mostly the problem 
with New Zealand and Australia 

296
00:17:05,900 --> 00:17:09,900
has Prince Prospero strategy is 
that it's inherently fragile. 

297
00:17:10,099 --> 00:17:13,900
All it takes to throw into chaos
is for the virus to slip past 

298
00:17:13,900 --> 00:17:17,500
the Border, including by 
accident or human ever. 

299
00:17:17,700 --> 00:17:22,500
The heavy-handed lockdowns insu 
imposed with maximum disruption 

300
00:17:22,700 --> 00:17:27,099
at the spur of the moment in a 
frantic attempt to contain. 

301
00:17:27,099 --> 00:17:30,200
The breach the most famous 
example happened on August 9th. 

302
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,500
When New Zealand prime 
minister's Jacinda Arden 

303
00:17:33,700 --> 00:17:37,300
declared that New Zealand had 
reached 100 days of In covid 

304
00:17:37,300 --> 00:17:38,400
free. 
Then, just two days. 

305
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:42,000
Later, a breach happened sending
Auckland into heavy lockdown. 

306
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:43,800
It's a pattern that repeated 
itself. 

307
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,100
Every few weeks in both 
countries in early December. 

308
00:17:47,100 --> 00:17:50,300
We saw a similar flurry of 
stories, from Australia 

309
00:17:50,300 --> 00:17:52,800
announcing that the country had 
beaten covid. 

310
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,000
Two weeks later. 
Another breach occurred in the 

311
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,400
suburbs around. 
Sydney, promoting prompting a 

312
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,100
regional lockdown. 
There have been embarrassing 

313
00:18:01,100 --> 00:18:06,200
missteps as well in November the
entire state of South Australia.

314
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,900
When into heavy lockdown, over a
single misreported case of 

315
00:18:09,900 --> 00:18:13,200
covid, that was mistakenly 
attributed to a pizza, purchase 

316
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,800
that did not exist. 
While both countries continue to

317
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:17,500
celebrate their low fatality 
rates. 

318
00:18:17,500 --> 00:18:20,100
They've also incurred some of 
the harshest and most disruptive

319
00:18:20,100 --> 00:18:24,900
restrictions in the world as all
the result of premature 

320
00:18:24,900 --> 00:18:27,900
Declarations of being covid.

preach and another frantic 
lockdown. 

322
00:18:33,300 --> 00:18:37,500
And Australia is where you can 
actually go to jail for making a

New York as a model for covid, 

326
00:18:48,300 --> 00:18:51,300
containment June to December by 
all indicators. 

327
00:18:51,300 --> 00:18:54,800
New York state has suffered one 
of the worst Corona virus 

328
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:59,300
outbreaks in the world. 
It's year and mortality rate of 

329
00:18:59,300 --> 00:19:02,200
almost 1,900 deaths, per million
residents. 

330
00:19:02,500 --> 00:19:06,500
Exceeds every single country in 
the world, the state famously 

331
00:19:06,500 --> 00:19:08,400
bungled its nursing home 
response. 

332
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,400
When Governor Andrew Cuomo 
Force. 

333
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,300
These facilities to readmit 
covid, positive patients as a 

334
00:19:14,300 --> 00:19:16,500
way to relieve strains on 
hospitals. 

335
00:19:16,500 --> 00:19:20,000
The policy backfired as most 
hospitals, never reach capacity,

336
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:24,800
but the readmissions introduced,
the virus into vulnerable 

337
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,600
nursing home populations 
resulting in widespread 

338
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:31,400
fatalities to this day. 
New York intentionally

00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:32,300
undercounts.

340
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:36,400
Home fatalities by excluding 
residents who are moved to a 

341
00:19:36,408 --> 00:19:42,500
hospital from its reported 
numbers further, obscuring, the 

342
00:19:42,500 --> 00:19:49,100
true toll of Cuomo's order. 
New York has also fared poorly 

343
00:19:49,100 --> 00:19:53,400
during the fall. 
Second wave, despite reimposing 

344

Exemplar of what not to do

353
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,100
Who has been asked multiple 
times in the Press. 

354
00:20:23,100 --> 00:20:26,500
What a model covid response 
policy would look like he gave 

355
00:20:26,500 --> 00:20:30,400
his first answer on July 20th. 
We know that when you do it 

356
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,200
properly, you bring down those 
cases. 

357
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,000
We have done it. 
We have done it in New York. 

358
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,200
Voucher was operating under the 
assumption that New York, 

359
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:42,400
despite its bad run in the 
spring had successfully brought 

360
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,200
the pandemic under control 
through its aggressive lockdown 

361
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,500
and slow. 
Reopening one might think that 

362
00:20:48,500 --> 00:20:52,100
the fall will Rebound in New 
York despite locking down again 

363
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,900
would call this conclusion into 
question, not so much for dr. 

364
00:20:55,900 --> 00:20:57,600
Fauci. 
Who told the Wall Street Journal

365
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,100
on? 
December 8th, New York got hit 

366
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,800
really badly in the beginning 
but they did a really good job 

367
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:08,500
of keeping things down and still
their level is low compared to 

368
00:21:08,500 --> 00:21:12,900
the rest of the country. 
And if you diss honorable 

369
00:21:12,900 --> 00:21:15,100
mentions, dr. 
Fauci admits to misleading the

00:21:15,100 --> 00:21:19,200
public on health information, 
White House, Wuhan coronavirus 

371
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:23,100
Task Force member, dr. 
Fauci admitted in a recent New 

372
00:21:23,100 --> 00:21:27,200
York Times interview that he has
been changing the numbers on 

373
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:31,000
herd immunity for the public 
based on a gut feeling Americans

374
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,400
can now handle the truth from 
the story. 

375
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,200
Building is mine recently. 
A figure to whom millions of 

376
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:42,100
Americans look for guidance. 
Dr. Anthony s fauci and Sure to 

377
00:21:42,100 --> 00:21:44,400
both the Trump Administration 
and the incoming Biden. 

378
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,700
Administration has begun 
incrementally. 

379
00:21:46,700 --> 00:21:50,000
Raising his herd immunity 
estimate in the pandemics early 

380
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,200
days. 
Dr. Fauci tended to cite the 

381
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,800
same sixty to seventy percent 
estimate. 

382
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,100
That most experts did about a 
month ago. 

383
00:21:57,100 --> 00:22:01,200
He began saying 70 to 75 percent
in television interviews. 

384
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,000
And last week and interview with
CNBC news. 

385
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:11,300
He said, 75 80, 85 percent and 
75 to 80 plus percent in A 

386
00:22:11,308 --> 00:22:12,600
telephone interview the next 
day. 

387
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:17,000
Dr. Fauci acknowledged that he 
had slowly but deliberately been

388
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,100
moving the goalposts. 
He is doing. 

389
00:22:19,100 --> 00:22:24,200
So he said partly based on new 
science and partly on his gut 

390
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,400
feeling that the country is 
finally ready to hear what he 

391
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,800
really thinks hard. 
As it may be to hear. 

392
00:22:30,900 --> 00:22:36,500
He said he believes that it may 
take close to 90% immunity to 

393
00:22:36,500 --> 00:22:41,200
bring the virus to a halt almost
as much as is needed to. 

394
00:22:41,300 --> 00:22:45,600
Stop a measles outbreak. 
Dr. Fauci said that weeks ago. 

395
00:22:45,900 --> 00:22:49,100
He had hesitated to publicly 
raised his estimate because many

396
00:22:49,100 --> 00:22:52,900
Americans seemed hesitant about 
vaccines, which they would need 

397
00:22:52,900 --> 00:22:57,400
to accept, almost universally in
order for the country to achieve

398
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:58,400
herd. 
Immunity. 

399
00:22:58,500 --> 00:23:01,800
Here is the tweet from The New 
York Times account. 

400
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:08,400
And a few more here is the Vox 
official Twitter account on 

401
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:12,200
March, 2nd, 2000, 2000 and face 
masks. 

402
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,300
You can pass on them. 
Mass are only useful. 

403
00:23:14,300 --> 00:23:17,500
If you have a respiratory 
infection already and want to 

404
00:23:17,500 --> 00:23:21,000
limit the risk of spreading or 
if you're working at a hospital 

405
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:26,100
in direct contact with people 
who have respiratory illness and

406
00:23:26,300 --> 00:23:29,500
the World Health Organization 
has now come out in opposition 

407
00:23:29,500 --> 00:23:33,300
to lockdowns USA Today. 
World Health Organization. 

408
00:23:33,500 --> 00:23:36,600
Urges lockdowns as us 
hospitalizations continue to 

409
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:40,200
climb 11 states, that record for
new covid-19 cases. 

410
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,800
So again, just because there's a
terrible virus does not mean 

411
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:47,400
that lockdowns are Justified. 
We in the World Health 

412
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,400
Organization, do not Advocate 
lockdowns as the primary means 

413
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:55,000
of control of this virus. 
Nabarro told the Speculator. 

414
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:59,200
Nabarro said, lockdowns can only
be justified to buy you time to 

415
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,500
reorganize regroup, rebalance, 
our resources, protect your 

416
00:24:02,500 --> 00:24:07,800
health workers who Are exhausted
but by and large we'd rather not

417
00:24:07,900 --> 00:24:13,300
do it. 
Also, the total numbers of 

418
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:18,300
deaths, ninety-four percent of 
the deaths are of people who had

419
00:24:18,300 --> 00:24:21,400
underlying medical conditions 
including things like diabetes, 

420
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:25,000
the flu heart failure. 
Only six percent of deaths are 

421
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:29,100
due to covid-19 solely. 
That is from the Center for 

422
00:24:29,108 --> 00:24:32,700
Disease Control. 
They also are counting. 

423
00:24:33,500 --> 00:24:38,000
Deaths of people that just have 
it even if it's not at all a 

424
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:43,300
primary cause of death, the 
Toronto Public, Health official 

425
00:24:43,300 --> 00:24:47,400
Twitter account said individuals
who have died with covid-19, but

426
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:51,300
not as a result of covid-19 are 
included in the case counts for 

427
00:24:51,300 --> 00:24:55,000
covid-19 deaths in Toronto. 
And that is the case pretty much

428
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,300
everywhere. 
You look, here is the US Surgeon

429
00:24:57,300 --> 00:24:59,300
General official Twitter 
account. 

430
00:24:59,300 --> 00:25:01,600
Seriously, people stop buying 
masks. 

431
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:03,200
They are not effective in 
preventing. 

432
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,400
Ting general public from 
Catching hashtag coronavirus. 

433
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,500
But if Health Care Providers 
can't get them to care for sick 

434
00:25:09,500 --> 00:25:11,900
patients. 
It puts them in our communities 

435
00:25:11,900 --> 00:25:13,600
at risk. 
Were they lying to us, then? 

436
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,500
Are they lying to us now? 
No one knows. 

437
00:25:15,500 --> 00:25:18,600
The best way to protect yourself
and your community is with 

438
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,500
everyday preventive, actions, 
like staying home, and you are 

439
00:25:21,500 --> 00:25:23,800
sick and washing your hands with
soap and water. 

440
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:25,500
Why has this gone out the 
window? 

441
00:25:25,500 --> 00:25:28,700
Originally, it was everyone 
needs to wear gloves. 

442
00:25:28,700 --> 00:25:31,500
You got to wear gloves and don't
touch your face. 

443
00:25:31,508 --> 00:25:33,200
Don't touch your eyes, your nose
or your mouth. 

444
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:37,800
But now this is not even being 
talked about to help slow the 

445
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,900
spread of respiratory illness. 
Get your hashtag, flu shots 

446
00:25:40,900 --> 00:25:46,300
fewer, flu patients, equal more 
resources for covid-19. 

447
00:25:46,300 --> 00:25:50,000
There was also an NBC NBC News 
spent weeks reporting on a 

448
00:25:50,008 --> 00:25:54,100
contributors Journey battling of
our coronavirus, but he never 

449
00:25:54,100 --> 00:25:56,000
had it. 
These are just constant lies 

450
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,600
that they enter into the public 
Consciousness. 

451
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:03,100
So they're just not a 
trustworthy method of acquiring 

452
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,500
During information about the 
virus here, is the World Health 

453
00:26:06,500 --> 00:26:10,400
organization's official Twitter 
account, January 14th, 

454
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,400
preliminary investigations 
conducted by the Chinese 

455
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,200
authorities have found? 
No clear. 

456
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,500
Evidence of human-to-human 
transmission of the novel. 

457
00:26:19,500 --> 00:26:24,800
Hashtag coronavirus, 2019, and 
Cove identified in hashtag Wuhan

458
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:29,500
hashtag China. 
So again, this is not to say 

459
00:26:29,500 --> 00:26:34,100
that there is no virus or you 
know, people aren't Getting sick

460
00:26:34,100 --> 00:26:36,300
and that should just be taken as
a joke. 

461
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:41,200
It is to say that it is being 
used as a justification for 

462
00:26:42,100 --> 00:26:44,500
increased government measures, 
which are unjustified. 

463
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:48,200
I mean, look, terrorism exists, 
but that doesn't justify the war

464
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,700
on terror or the lies told about
Iraq, and Afghanistan, and Iran,

465
00:26:51,900 --> 00:26:55,100
and Syria, and Libya, and 
everywhere else. 

466
00:26:55,600 --> 00:27:00,700
I'll end with this quote, from a
PhD from Harvard and Columbia 

467
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,100
University, Thomas E, Woods, 
Junior. 

468
00:27:03,700 --> 00:27:07,100
Referring to this Kentucky 
graph, which shows different 

469
00:27:07,100 --> 00:27:11,900
steps that the state government 
in Kentucky has taken from mask 

470
00:27:11,900 --> 00:27:14,100
mandates to extending the 
mandates. 

471
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,100
He says, if this graph showed 
the opposite results, The Mask 

472
00:27:18,100 --> 00:27:20,500
Voodoo people would be shoving 
it in our faces. 

473
00:27:20,700 --> 00:27:24,100
Since it looks like this. 
They cry about how unfair it is.

474
00:27:24,300 --> 00:27:27,100
No data changes. 
Their mind. 

475
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:28,300
Thank you for watching Keith 
Knight. 

476
00:27:28,300 --> 00:27:29,300
Don't tread on anyone.
