Trending searches: how many people died from covid
Speaker 1: This is really painful to watch. On
the bonus show today, we are going to talk about the continued influence of the Joe Rogan Podcast.
We are going to talk about how, I mean, listen, influential is the most accurate word about the
Joe Rogan podcast, and that's part of why this is so painful to see. On a recent episode, Joe
Rogan, on whose show I've appeared twice, just casually said, you know, it's crazy how many young
people got vaccinated and then died suddenly. This is one of the most, what's the word? Is
it destructive? Is it pernicious? Is it just dishonest? Is it inaccurate? Is it depressing?
What misstatements and inaccuracies about the Covid vaccine? I'm going to play it for you. Then
we're going to talk about it. Listen to this. Speaker 3: This is how many people
were promoters of the vaccine, then died suddenly. It's crazy how many young
people just died in their sleep after they took it. And everybody's like nothing to see here.
Speaker 4: Sudden adult death syndrome. Speaker 3: Yeah. Just died suddenly. You ever
go to the died suddenly Instagram page like, Holy. There's so many and so many people like
talking about people who are, you know, anti Darwin anti-vaxxers and then then you're dead.
Sorry if you bought, you bought into the wrong bullshit. But that's, you know, if you really want
to get cruel, that's Darwinism. Do you not know they lie by now do you not. Are you not aware of
the opioid crisis? You're not aware of vioxx? Not aware of the very like to 25% of all FDA approved
drugs that get pulled? It's one out of four and you're like, really? You're an anti-vax really
reality. What are you, a conspiracy theorist? You fool. Darwin's going to do its work with you.
You're modifying your genes, you idiot. Like, what are you doing? What are you doing? You're
just going to trust Pfizer. Well, they do support Anderson Cooper. Brought to you by Pfizer.
Speaker 1: Oh boy. Oh my goodness. Where do you even start with this? Where do you even start?
With the amount of damage that is being done here? You know, every single one of these claims is
wrong. First of all, the idea that the vaccine modifies your genes. It's not true. It's been said
so many times. It's been explained no matter what sort of medical expert you have, explain it. Some
of these folks just don't want to accept it or believe it. He talks about the movie died suddenly
and the Facebook page died suddenly. That is a propaganda film, widely debunked and completely
non empirically based. Which features a bunch of headlines that you can find on Google about people
that died and then suggests this never used to happen. Healthy young adults never used to die.
And it's happening now at a greater rate than it used to. And it's because of the vaccine and the
film has gotten. At one point it was more than 20 million views. It's so hard to know because it's
on different platforms. And yeah, tens of millions of views is fair to say. And, when you look into
the film, you find that, number one, the rate of these, deaths hasn't increased other than by
the degree to which we know people have died from Covid. We also have investigated some of the
specific people that died suddenly. They weren't even vaccinated. So some of the people featured
in the film were not actually vaccinated with the Covid vaccine. So total propaganda film that
is leading people dangerously astray. And then, you know, there's always some, as Sam Harris
said to me last week in our interview or the week last week, you. Sometimes these conspiracy
theories have some grain of truth. And the grain of truth here is pharmaceutical companies
have lied and pharmaceutical companies have done bad things. Joe Rogan mentions vioxx and
he mentions opioids. It's really important to understand that these are dramatically different
sorts of medications. Vioxx was an Nsaid designed to treat pain and inflammation, marketed for
osteoarthritis and for some acute pain conditions, and it was withdrawn from the market because there
were concerns it would increase heart attack and stroke if you used it for a long period of time.
Okay. The opioid crisis. Opioids are an entire class of prescription pain relievers. You've got
your oxycodone, hydrocodone, morphine and others. The illegal drug heroin is also an opioid. They
are known for pain relieving effects, but huge addiction, potential overdose. We, know about the
Sackler family and their, deliberate, deception when it comes to clinical trials, side effects
and risk for addiction, etc.. Vaccines are meant to help the body generate immunity without getting
the disease. That's the idea. And vaccines are one of the most effective ways to prevent diseases,
including diseases that can cause death, as well as diseases that are that are less likely to cause
death. So when you look at the risk profiles with vioxx, the risk was related to cardiovascular
events, and it was significant enough to say, we've got to withdraw this from the market. With
opioids, you've got addiction risk, dependency, overdose, death risk. These are significant, and
it has generated a public health crisis. Vaccines are low risk. Most side effects are extremely
mild and temporary. Even the more rare serious side effects almost always resolve on their
own. When we've talked about the myocarditis, pericarditis, and do you sometimes get a serious
adverse event? Are there a few people that have died from serious vaccine side effects? From
just about any vaccine? Yes. But the point is, you don't suspend an incredibly successful
and effective public health campaign because any intervention can have these extremely rare
side effects. You look at opioids and vioxx, it's a completely different, situation. So anyway,
the vioxx opioid comparisons are just absurd. It's really sad to see Rogan go in this direction.
And, you know, I don't know who people write to me. They go, David, you know, if only he would
allow you back on, you could set them straight. First of all, it's not about setting people
straight. I don't know if he would ever have me back on. I would appear anytime. That's what
I've said. And, that that's where I will leave it
