Which brings us to today we,
2:35
are gonna dig into what malone and rogan
2:37
actually talked about On, Reagan, shy.
2:40
I'm. Going to take close look at the science
2:42
and also the bigger pizza here because,
2:45
we are going to walk you through the ways that misleading
2:47
claims can confuse into
2:49
believing self that doesn't line up
2:51
with the best science with Got, now
2:54
as always if you want to look at
2:56
any of the evidence that we talk about on. The so
2:58
we have transcript that's full of
3:00
citation receipt for everything
3:03
we, say there's link in there's summer That.
3:08
I'm him if information there's lot of
3:10
its flying around spotify
3:13
to. get out you like what is Then.
3:20
The Panthers, Joe rogan Eminem.
3:26
I'm not gonna have any ads on this episode.
3:28
Did you do need a little brain break? The
3:31
sound of one of my face. But as
3:33
he bad because. about us
3:41
The company block. Right?
3:45
That percent. Today
3:51
we are fact checking the Joe rogan episode
3:53
that everyone's been arms about and.
3:56
what we're going to do in this so it's not
3:58
a sack take that as It but show
4:01
you how we at finds that. The
4:03
thought three the confusing claims.
4:06
That finds that we here. I'm
4:08
hoping that this will descend general
4:11
help you to navigate the world
4:13
of. The information are, you know, even away
4:15
from this episode of Joe rogan And
4:18
to help me with this. I have my trusty
4:20
sidekick producer. It's remark.
4:23
No, I'm wendy. The you about being
4:25
my trusty sidekick?
4:27
I feel emasculated as,.
4:33
well
4:35
Why did you feel? like when
4:38
you were listening to this episode My
4:40
first thought when we were talking about going
4:43
through this episode and breaking it down was
4:45
his, I felt kind of overwhelms because.
4:48
There's a lot going on in this episode,
4:51
they cover lots of stuff so
4:53
much so much, and since he is what we're
4:55
gonna do instead of going through
4:57
the claims one. By one by one.
4:59
We have decided to pick out the path of
5:02
this interview that tell a larger
5:04
story about the general tool
5:06
set you. The over and over again in
5:08
the misinformation game. What we
5:10
do want to say couple of things up front, the
5:12
first is that we reached out
5:14
to both. Joe rogan and Robert
5:16
Malign. I didn't get back
5:19
to us Malone. appointed
5:21
as to some posts online but he
5:23
didn't was Antoine specific questions. Earlier
5:26
this week, Regen said that he's not
5:28
trying to promote misinformation. Malone
5:31
he met believe the things that he said
5:33
in an episode or it let's consider
5:36
that. a bad thing we want to talk to you about something
5:38
you might be familiar with Cherry
5:40
picking the data, yeah. But
5:43
I think the cherry picking is when
5:45
you are just I'm picking.
5:48
out either pieces of information
5:50
or specific studies that support your point
5:52
of view and ignoring any data
5:54
that doesn't support that point of view yes
5:57
exactly and an analysis of misinformation
5:59
around card Nineteen stand that cherry
6:01
picking was a common thing that you
6:03
say and, so it example
6:05
that I want to zoom in on something noticed
6:08
while listening to this Malone interviews with
6:10
what he was talking about his condition called
6:12
my thought I'd it. as
6:15
it is basically inflammation of the heart
6:17
muscle It can. Then
6:20
you a bit like chest pain or
6:22
heart palpitations and. The intended
6:24
to be like shortness of breath. And
6:26
gotten caught by viral infections bad because
6:29
by the things he says that specific disease
6:31
is more like just some that.
6:33
the condition of having some information around your
6:35
heart which can happen from kinds of reasons Exactly
6:38
the and it can be ah, that
6:40
actually in many cases it goes away to
6:42
be treated pretty easily Even have I guess
6:45
information of your heart that is not that big
6:47
of a deal it's kind of weird because it sounds like be horrible
6:49
thing about. that that's right
6:51
that's and you can have very my god
6:54
i'd us when it's close by viruses
6:56
but he's what malone said about
6:59
when people get Myocarditis after
7:01
getting vaccinated. So
7:03
a recent paper out of Hong Kong
7:05
comprehensive analysis. Cardio
7:07
myocarditis in boys
7:10
hospitalized. Okay,
7:11
that makes sense that. Yes,
7:14
that's worth strength. So that's the
7:16
data analysis. So that's
7:18
saying the myocarditis was
7:20
so bad after vaccination.
7:23
These are all verified post-vaccination was
7:27
so bad that you went to the hospital and 2700.
7:30
Dell
7:33
the there's all kind of hand waving Omar
7:37
carditis. This Mild. They recovered
7:39
it. Okay, those statements
7:41
aren't what's a gently based. In
7:43
fact. I
7:45
asked one of the oldest of this paper about this.
7:47
my quine, ah, those statements
7:50
not let's say gently,
7:52
based in fact. I can
7:54
tell you don't think so.
7:55
The think you know station they recover
7:58
and comfy seats.
8:00
Mike is a pediatrician, an expert
8:02
infectious diseases at Princess Margaret
8:04
Hospital in Hong Kong, I was ten team on Sunday
8:06
night. An event
8:08
that the story with this that he begins with
8:10
this reporting system that Hong Kong has
8:13
to pick up side effects from the vaccine, so
8:16
if some people in Hong Kong death like
8:18
a weed symptom of they get the club at nineteen
8:20
back same, he gets reported. Mike
8:23
was the guy in Hong Kong
8:25
that would get pinged his pains in particular
8:28
out the suspected of have.
8:29
My God I'd even. in the middle of the
8:31
nice to am free and
8:33
Getting messages saying we think we have a case
8:35
with the Gather case and then he
8:38
would make sure that these patients for all these
8:40
tests done on them to confirm, "Yeah, this
8:42
is my account at us" The
8:44
oldest monitoring been going on for three
8:46
months in the middle of last year when like
8:48
lots and lots of teams in Hong Kong were getting
8:50
vaccinated so. any
8:52
and any hundred and seventy eight thousand
8:55
saints who were between Twelve
8:58
and seventeen of.
9:00
the mrm a vaccine And
9:02
thirty three of them got my titus,
9:05
most of them voice, and in most
9:07
cases it popped up after the second depths.
9:10
Now, when you zoom in on the stat.
9:13
The boy is. The actually
9:15
did turn out in the study. That
9:18
one in twenty seven hundred just
9:20
what Malign said had my said I'd suggest,
9:23
looking at that Saudi money is right. and
9:25
having anything going wrong with your heart like he could
9:27
it could figure out and i'll make about this
9:30
When you saw the boys who had this with, they scared
9:33
with a worried. There they did, they'd the
9:35
answer to play scare the time.
9:37
There were the okay when I say yes well
9:39
that is the big questions
9:42
like how a. dangerous
9:44
was this so the kids and
9:46
in and you had malone said that
9:48
like the my cut out as was The bad
9:51
that they went to the hospital for it.
9:53
The didn't you if you read the paper
9:56
that Mike, right? Very clear
9:58
that all of the case. One
10:00
mind. In
10:02
fact, my told me that a big reason
10:05
the kids were in the hospital is because
10:07
Mike wanted to do. Will be fancy tests on them
10:09
like cardiac, am I right? The
10:11
on available.
10:12
micah McGill, a doctor's office, all cases
10:14
were hospitalized because we will need to
10:17
perform of these are working for them. They
10:19
didn't need to be there, is so I keep
10:21
them alive. No.
10:23
Not know you're not in fact, he said
10:25
that these patients they all cleared up with
10:28
either pain killers like Ibuprofen.
10:30
Some of them even not require
10:32
medications and saves US
10:35
cigarettes. And eventually
10:37
they recovered by themselves. None,
10:40
none of them cause severe complications
10:42
and no case of votes, Ozzie button.
10:45
And all of them recover and ran
10:48
back home. And so far
10:50
as some thiessen being for
10:52
up around seven months and.
10:54
as very good no problem So
10:57
did is a very good news.
10:59
For the followed the pace and some months now
11:01
and Mike said that they are quote
11:03
says suckling normal and he's
11:06
gonna keep following them up just in case
11:08
something changes in, his bed
11:10
glad they're okay. so
11:13
The, you know, when I think about how
11:15
Malone talked about this study,
11:17
it was only. don't
11:20
know what's going on in his head, but it is felt
11:22
like he trusted and focus
11:24
on. The negative
11:27
things in this study, but then didn't.
11:31
All the perfect is Jarod set it on the
11:33
something and a copy of the city where all the neutral
11:35
and good parts were like blacked
11:38
out like redacted for some reason
11:41
is exactly as.
11:43
says that hogan paper is with
11:45
other research ah say
11:47
this even biggest study that came out of canada
11:50
which had
11:51
Something like a more than three hundred
11:53
thousand boys in that
11:55
same age group and is and
11:57
that the rights of my it's had itis after the. Themes
12:00
were even lower, so in that case
12:02
it's only now study it with roughly one
12:04
in ten thousand and again
12:07
no deaths so like bigger study
12:09
found in even. Dollar risk exact
12:12
thing. Some data
12:14
from that Canada study actually found that
12:16
generally speaking the right of my
12:18
of had I this was even lower
12:20
when people spaced out the doses
12:23
of their vaccine select instead
12:25
of having them a few weeks apart, you
12:27
just waited longer. And you
12:29
know, like when I think about. When
12:31
was listening to the interview with
12:33
Robert Malone and to rug and like.
12:37
don't know where they intended this, the just got this feeling
12:39
like, you know, we really can't trust
12:41
science in the scientists don't care
12:43
or I'm thinking about these rare
12:45
side effects. You know,
12:47
in despite the fact that a mike's
12:50
worth all the cases were miles, despite
12:52
the fact that this is really we're.
12:55
Hong Kong actually changed its policy
12:57
on pins and vaccine. Phil
13:00
reduce the risk of it happening and
13:02
so, yeah, as of December, they've
13:05
now recommended the teams white twelve
13:07
weeks before getting their second sought to the
13:09
spacing an hour so they're taking this
13:11
Miles rare side effect.
13:13
The seriously live. My
13:16
that about it. Even to smile, we don't
13:18
want this to happen. What the policy
13:20
here and we change our policy, it was issues
13:22
with, I think things get really
13:24
nuanced and curious, so image
13:26
us right now, the C.D.C. still recommends
13:29
that kids in this age group get that. Shot three
13:31
weeks apart. And he, he got
13:33
to be awesome. Why that? Good
13:36
reason for our would be because in
13:38
the US in many parts of the U. S. cool,
13:40
Vid, right? Very high very
13:43
high compared to Hong Kong so,
13:46
hong kong is a live
13:48
The bit smaller and population the New
13:50
York City on.
13:52
and i'm just going without being covered rates
13:55
Oh, okay, so like recently when you
13:57
look at seven day of rage them. The
13:59
about it. One hundred and thirteen
14:01
reported cases each day, hundred
14:03
and thirteen. Okay, what are we at
14:06
New York is it like? The other men
14:08
around. Exactly like I've literally
14:10
on my way to get beach in suburb did one
14:12
hundred and thirty people that add Kobe
14:14
to us as. as
14:17
don't throw ah but when
14:19
you look at the daily average in new york city
14:21
it's something like two thousand
14:23
eight hundred you know like that
14:25
the cases so much higher
14:28
it is much more likely to get over here than in hong kong
14:30
that means like when you're doing this cost benefit analysis
14:33
it's like is your chance of
14:35
getting close it is higher That
14:38
your chance of getting complication from
14:40
carpet is higher. And we know
14:42
that kids have less of chance of getting
14:44
really sick. From Kobe. That
14:47
didn't happen in I am obviously
14:49
this kids in the hospital me us right
14:51
now. I've got a bit. And
14:53
so we have to be thinking about
14:55
this and you know if you're worried about my
14:58
aside itis for your kids like
15:00
that is complication of cause it
15:02
you can get my apartheid us from getting
15:04
coven the disease yes.
15:07
in fact one study from the cdc found that one
15:09
in every seven hundred and fifty kids under the
15:11
age of sixteen who got covered Also
15:14
got my cod itis. We did
15:16
hire. Then the risks
15:18
associated with the vaccine. You
15:20
know, I do want to say that. We
15:23
really went down the rabbit hole. The
15:26
see if we could find any.
15:28
Cases of my a con artist from the vaccines
15:31
that would not Miles. The
15:34
knew we eat fine. The
15:36
reports of people who had complications,
15:38
we even found several cases of
15:40
people who had died. The
15:43
vast majority were fine. And
15:45
if you're going searching for the worst
15:47
case scenario thing, you really need to
15:49
be also thinking about. The
15:51
deaths from car of it. I would
15:54
say. Looking at midday dot
15:56
if you are worried about these conditions.
16:00
You know you're worried about my account, I'd it feel
16:02
like you should be more worried. About
16:05
your kids getting conveyed, this is. The
16:08
keep getting a bad thing. Anthony.
16:11
Or it? That he is.
16:14
My story. About? Cherry
16:17
picking the data you don't tell people. How
16:20
how then? The illness we
16:23
kind of vaccinate for can cause complications,
16:25
you. The focus on
16:27
the very, very scary things I
16:29
don't know if he intended. The mix of
16:32
all of this, Ah? Then
16:34
do the a classic case of cherry
16:36
picking.
16:40
Edit the next thing that we're going to talk about
16:42
his ah looking out for anecdotes
16:45
stories, especially like scary or
16:47
like really emotional stories, or this is
16:49
a classic classic. The on and information
16:51
game. Yeah yeah we know
16:54
that anecdotes carry lot more weight
16:56
than they really have any business to
16:59
say. found this gigantic met analysis
17:01
from twenty that looked that sixty
17:04
one studies of what kind of
17:06
information is most persuasive to people
17:08
and so they compared Sec
17:10
than data with and,
17:12
ago
17:13
And live on, as sometimes people are
17:15
totally like interested in hearing
17:18
the statistical data to make decisions.
17:21
One big exception to that is when they're
17:23
making a decision that affects their own house
17:25
oh. wow Yeah,
17:27
especially as there are is possible
17:30
severe consequences so
17:32
in that case people.
17:34
are more likely to believe an anecdote
17:36
than they are to listen to that is
17:39
so interesting and it's funny because like
17:41
That's probably when you should be relying
17:43
on stats the most is that you
17:45
know serious medical decisions
17:48
I. heard manning's else manning's this episode on
17:51
episode here's an example of i'm talking about Though
17:53
I took two doses of Maduro. With
17:56
the second dose developed. Stage
17:59
three, hyper two. Then. The
18:01
store with blood pressure of up to two thirty.
18:04
Hey, I'm like it be law.
18:06
What it means is, I've had a stress
18:08
test of my aorta and Pfizer
18:10
cerebral, vascular system, and I didn't have a
18:12
stroke and I didn't tear my article shreds,
18:15
but it's a good thing
18:17
he's saying that came that
18:20
came from the vaccine to the context serious, he's
18:23
saying that people who got covered.
18:25
Before they got vaccinated, had a worse
18:28
reaction to the vaccine and he's one
18:30
of those people he that covert in any got vaccinated
18:32
right, and he's saying his reaction was so bad
18:34
he is basically implying he nearly died.
18:37
I'm lucky my a or
18:39
and terrell to shreds.
18:40
Yeah yeah that's a memorable line
18:43
so is am I. guess bessie
18:45
get very powerful anecdote
18:48
Is it true is any of that I
18:50
mean obviously don't? know what happened to him
18:52
personally but is this a thing that happens
18:55
that if you get covered and then get
18:57
then back The same symptoms can be worse.
19:00
Yeah, own, and we can't say what happened, I'm alone that
19:02
we're moving beyond any doubt, which is the whole
19:04
point of cyan. No,
19:07
I wouldn't do this, and did find a couple studies
19:09
that ask this question, and they did say that
19:11
actually there's some evidence that.
19:13
If you had Kobe before you die, you covered
19:16
shot, you might have worst side effects from
19:18
the vaccine, okay, months
19:20
city that followed people who were describing their symptoms
19:23
over time whether they had covered with, and
19:25
then after they got vaccine. They
19:27
found that and.
19:29
If you would never had called in before you got your for
19:32
with Pfizer, your chances of getting a flu,
19:34
We of side effects from the vaccine are
19:37
about 1 + 5. Got it. But
19:39
if you had covid, before he got your shot,
19:41
your eyes were more like one, and three that
19:43
you have like a flu like, okay,
19:45
so you aren't slightly higher risk if you had covered,
19:47
then got the vaccine?
19:49
I'm getting you said flu like symptoms, what does
19:51
that involve and this is that like fatigue
19:53
and headaches, it's like feeling crummy, and the researcher
19:56
told me that said side effects cleared
19:58
up on their own and they weren't dangerous. Oh,
20:00
okay, and them alone discovered that.
20:02
To. Be scary,
20:04
like a order thing states three hypertension,
20:07
how common is that when these studies they
20:09
don't report anything like that and so this is
20:12
falling group of more? than fourteen thousand people
20:14
sit inside, okay, I get the diseases like a very
20:17
specific. The situation
20:19
he was talking about where. You
20:21
have had close it and then you get the vaccine
20:24
and. What if we just
20:26
like look at people generally,
20:28
I generally when you get the
20:30
vaccine, can you have? Page
20:32
three, hypertensive.
20:34
Yeah I one minute to and look
20:36
for that did find a report of
20:38
nine people in Switzerland who
20:41
had stage three hypertension after
20:43
they got their vaccine they're all over
20:45
the age of fifty this is that of thousands
20:47
of people by the way so. that
20:49
he just talks about lenny you know it could be
20:51
rare side effects and if it
20:54
is he so have to weigh it again sir risk
20:56
of getting similar
20:58
Then. Issue from Culver and am in know
21:00
that covid. The disease can
21:02
mess up your cardiovascular system, you
21:05
know, the serious way of being like it
21:07
could stop your heart if you die from it, right?
21:09
So like
21:12
again what you said earlier So it's a risk benefit
21:14
If
21:14
you
21:16
want another attic dirt, I got quite
21:19
a and think of my booster
21:21
shot and it
21:23
was fine. And
21:24
I know a few that got covid in 2020
21:27
and got back sooner than and twenty and we're
21:29
perfectly fine. My shoulder had little there was
21:31
so sorry.
21:36
Is this still thinking about that? I a ordered
21:38
it, My open, but
21:40
that's the thing. I sent you. Going to
21:42
the pharmacy to get your booster. Whatever you just
21:44
thinking, torn aorta. Aorta to shreds, shreds
21:46
a it because Frankie, it's
21:49
at 6.
21:51
And there's one more thing. I want to bring up here. So
21:54
we know that stories can be really
21:56
good at grabbing our attention and our
21:58
emotions, and they can The be more memorable
22:01
than to series death. You know that
22:03
because we use them on our show
22:05
on science vs we often have anecdotes
22:08
and are episodes but.
22:11
like i don't mean to put smoke up
22:13
my and on us but like when
22:15
we use anecdotes
22:17
we
22:18
I really careful to use them to
22:20
try to represent the bigger picture
22:23
of science, right it's to illustrate
22:25
a point that we see in the data.
22:27
That I don't know the take Linus
22:30
like politically, isn't a?
22:32
If you hear a story on science
22:34
podcast, you should run screaming, but
22:37
you also want to be listening your data that backs
22:40
up, whatever story trying to you.
22:43
Off to the bank. Can the
22:45
vaccine mess up your you
22:47
know he get the needle and the damage
22:50
done we, dive into the science.
22:53
and you might be surprised Eminem
22:57
and.
23:00
Then take a break.
23:03
Referring to the sound of wind blowing
23:05
on the beach.
23:25
hoping That can I am, so we're looking
23:28
into the interview that Joe rogan deed with
23:30
Robert Malone, where they talk about the covered
23:32
nineteen vaccines and people have
23:35
been very upset about. This interview saying
23:37
that it is peddling mis information
23:39
so when taking a closer look. You
23:42
know we just keep searching for hot
23:44
and cold hard facts around
23:46
Miss Don't, we produce
23:48
the roads rimless who is he to help me
23:50
yes hi wendy the next big
23:52
were going to talk about that was happening in this in The be
23:55
in what I'm going to call the can marry
23:57
in the coal mine effect and,
23:59
it says The ya. The didn't learn
24:02
a, thing that some people have seen.
24:05
is signal for something
24:07
that much larger and much
24:09
more dangerous
24:11
And. I have noticed
24:14
this. Why don't want him the?
24:17
And we've been calling it misinformation game
24:20
but. here is example that i The focus
24:22
on. The Enigma line into the.
24:25
That's how he talks about
24:27
how. the show The might be affecting our
24:29
security and, The
24:32
me into the this kind of sauce with Malone's
24:34
discussion with rogan about menstruation,
24:37
oh, I love, love when men tell me about my site
24:40
applied to go administration are
24:42
heavily.
24:43
That it there's. a huge
24:45
number of dismantle real men are metro roger
24:47
wouldn't wear those this is alterations and
24:49
menzies to him The
24:52
right there is it as a huge issue stairs
24:54
in they deny it. Though
24:56
are people than I get sick?
24:59
Going on here divide. out i
25:01
called up dump their victoria male
25:04
ah Hey, Dan Reicher,
25:06
hey let me British a reproduction.
25:09
Immunologist at Imperial College
25:11
London and, at first i asked
25:13
her if she thought that scientists
25:15
had been denied In this period,
25:18
vaccine's possible connection.
25:20
The Uva a fly that because
25:22
I didn't really be further from the trees
25:25
so he. did take little while
25:27
for people to start taking this and
25:29
say seriously that fit many hats
25:31
into studying at birth see
25:34
this is something that keeps have been talking about
25:36
for ten minutes
25:38
He's a fair thing that keep trees
25:40
that is off that the vaccines might
25:42
be messing with periods.
25:45
The different countries have the official
25:47
systems where people. The report we'd
25:49
reactions from the vaccine or. We
25:51
talked about as similar one in Hong
25:53
Kong and. what They
25:57
started noticing in the UK and the US
25:59
is that. He was added
26:01
going to this reporting system and saying my
26:03
career and has changed after the vaccine
26:06
and. and People with
26:09
same is that the NIH actually
26:11
handed out one point six seven million
26:14
dollars to scientists to study
26:16
this and. That
26:18
was available, it was there was a press release
26:20
about it. Month before
26:22
the rogue, an interview, and so is
26:24
there was research happening?
26:26
Yeah seven is no bloody
26:28
cover up know,
26:30
Rams no one with padding the days her,.
26:33
sister what i heard this
26:35
to actually had heard it around that like their backs
26:37
getting the vaccine change your period think
26:39
for some people have cell
26:41
I. Get and I'm curious like is it actually
26:44
true I get, will the results
26:46
of one of the study is that the NIH funded
26:49
AH has already come out now it was?
26:51
Not available at the time of Malone's
26:53
interview, but we have it now, Ah, so
26:55
what does this science tell us or this
26:58
study was published in L. E. Jan and
27:00
what? They did is they got almost
27:02
four thousand people who had been using a period
27:05
tracking and liquidity. that's
27:07
where you log like when you get your period
27:09
and then they also tracked you
27:11
know if these people got vaccinated when they got
27:13
vaccinated and didn't analysis
27:15
seceded getting the vaccine
27:18
Change your period. I'm
27:20
not make them with on average speed.
27:24
Yeah but. it was buy less
27:27
than a day Okay.
27:30
If I hear the the. Warrior, yeah. If
27:33
everything that they could change, but
27:35
it's really small.
27:37
Right now, that sat of less than a day, it's an average,
27:39
so that means that for some people in
27:41
the study states. It didn't change by
27:44
more I'm take this. Especially
27:46
true that people who got the
27:48
two shots in the same cycle
27:51
and in that case for some of them, their periods
27:54
came around to date like flat,
27:56
the real thing is, I have to say, was like a little
27:58
skeptical. The that.
28:00
The into think that there is like a real effect, get
28:02
Moblin reason I was skeptical, the that it's like all why
28:04
on earth would that have anything to
28:06
do with your period? Don't have exactly
28:08
the mechanism, but we can. I'm
28:11
guessing educated guesses.
28:13
The to I don't mean that the reason this might be happening
28:16
is. because i am we know
28:19
that sex or mine It's
28:21
pretty big role in when we get our periods
28:23
and can affect the. immune system and the
28:25
immune system can affect sex hormones
28:27
it's over.
28:28
intimately connected in the wonder that is
28:30
our bodies it's AH and so it's possible
28:32
that when we give the immune system a
28:35
big stimulus big steamy
28:37
patted seems he will like vaccine
28:39
that. that could affect your menstrual
28:42
cycle
28:43
But here is what's really important
28:45
in this period piece.
28:48
What does that he found is that often. The man.
28:52
The book period.
28:53
They went back to normal, we didn't see cycle
28:56
in to say this is a real change,
28:58
but we can detect city that's
29:01
normal. Ready to play.
29:03
Then. You get that opiates into this picture
29:05
that it really could be an immune system reaction
29:07
that happens after we get the vaccine
29:09
and the immune system settles down, appearance go.
29:12
Back to normal life is a hunky dory
29:14
no, seriously to more studies have come out
29:16
looking at periods but focusing
29:19
on having unexpected or heavy
29:21
bleeding. and they actually
29:23
found that yes be covered vaccines
29:26
ten increase your risk of this stuff
29:28
happening
29:30
But you know like one said he said
29:32
at the changes weren't dangerous and
29:34
would probably short term still.
29:37
though you know when i Listen
29:39
to him alone, talk about the yes. The
29:42
me anyway, you really sounded like he was
29:44
saying that these changes from. The vaccine.
29:47
The periods we could
29:49
be a sign of something bigger
29:51
like this: A vaccines are also messing with
29:53
al sexually. That's
29:56
why we call this the canary of the coal mine
29:58
affect the periods are. Line of
30:00
security problems, so,
30:02
for example, he said that he was asked to testify
30:05
to the his city to Rabbinical Court in
30:07
New York and. You can take from that.
30:09
It turns out that the Rabbis in
30:11
the Hasidic Jewish community carefully monitor
30:14
we don't need to go into how AH,
30:16
the bench full cycle of the with fertile
30:18
women. in there and conversations
30:22
closely monitor it because very
30:24
strict I'm guidance about
30:26
cleanliness and intercourse. And
30:30
they had a major problem. Because
30:32
they please me you know these are all
30:35
sixty plus up to eighty long
30:37
beards fraker that.
30:39
had Squeeze it understanding
30:42
about the menstrual cycle in all the
30:44
women in their congregations and,
30:47
they all knew That these
30:49
menstrual cycles were being disrupted
30:51
all the time and for them this is major
30:53
crisis because it meant
30:56
that. If you're if you're in the Hasidic
30:58
community increasing, the size
31:00
of the, population of acidic Jesus
31:02
kind of important to. you i'm it's
31:04
central important them and this was
31:07
major threat to reproductive health
31:09
in their communities
31:11
Now they have been some questions around how
31:13
he represented rabbinical rules
31:15
and the Hasidic community of just
31:17
get a leave that where we founded
31:19
focus on the science of I.
31:21
will say that. They
31:23
don't want some punk is to me
31:25
that if our periods are being. Acted by
31:27
the back themes. That
31:30
could be having an effect on our facility,
31:33
right? That. We
31:36
don't need to go to a Rabbinical
31:38
court to settle this one because.
31:41
We have. The actual scientific
31:44
data on this? Not
31:47
mentioned on the show, Ah.
31:50
So even in the early days
31:52
of the vaccine trials I'm
31:55
we started to get some includes that
31:57
the that things didn't seem to be affecting our facilities.
32:00
The have listen to try again.
32:02
Even in a clinical trials and the participants
32:05
were asked not to become pregnant. These
32:08
are very large trial and didn't
32:10
happen.
32:11
stuck in lockdown, stupid, you can get my
32:13
hands exactly.
32:15
I can see for think he's funny and the vaccinated
32:18
and unvaccinated of the trial.
32:21
We were getting shot with a placebo, you would have
32:23
the same chance of getting pregnant as if you were getting shot
32:25
with their actual.
32:26
[Laughing ] exactly that's what we
32:28
already started to realize once
32:30
we were getting the clinical trial data snap, not
32:32
that many people did get pregnant in either
32:35
arm of the trial because. People
32:37
were told to use contraception because
32:39
scientists were being careful,'cause cause I didn't,
32:42
they didn't know what was going to happen, so
32:44
they want. People to get pregnant, yeah, makes us
32:46
some alone, didn't mention any of this on
32:48
the so are we don't know he knew about it or
32:50
not. They were other
32:53
studies around at the time that have looked
32:55
at the vaccines and all sorts of stuff
32:57
related to fertility. My
32:59
does it mess up your eggs doesn't mess up
33:01
your sperm. The them for
33:03
studies that came out before that
33:05
show, and some of them were in people doing
33:08
I've yes. None of them.
33:10
Sound bad effects from the vaccine
33:13
on. The of the they. didn't affect
33:15
a bunch of these different like parameters that
33:17
measure fertility exactly We
33:21
driving is pretty important to
33:23
tell people when you are. Telling
33:25
people about how vaccines might affect fertility,
33:27
he was just have all these pieces in the puzzle
33:30
suggesting that the vaccines aren't affecting
33:32
our fatality. That was just no
33:34
way to be seen on the episode right right,
33:36
I mean, it's more find the time.
33:37
That about your advice to,
33:41
do. a
33:43
good other way to look at all the is this
33:46
He didn't know about those studies.
33:49
Another example of cherry picking that's
33:51
a really good classic cherry that game like.
33:54
You can make a great pie out of others, Jerry's,
33:56
ah, that sasso our audience knows as
33:58
since the era of that rug.
34:00
Partner isn't even clearer a
34:02
date us to suggest that the vaccines don't
34:04
affect our fertility, ah, he is
34:06
this study that we have become. It told me about
34:08
it.
34:09
Look at a cohort of more than
34:11
three thousand couples who are trying to conceive
34:13
of the costs about ten months and.
34:15
an awesome it's testing with them every
34:17
couple of months he died since last time we
34:19
texas has it from texas He
34:22
didn't ask me to pay. on
34:25
top of the says it made no reference to the
34:27
couple chance of becoming pregnant sweater with
34:29
the female partner or the map on
34:31
Even in fact, that the city pay is
34:34
some kind of the edge. That made me the
34:36
phone.
34:37
A female partner, the cool kids, that
34:39
the male partner for a bitch, Satsuma,
34:42
it was it. Trump, couple would conceive.
34:45
Ah, that's insists that in naval.
34:48
It should be teaching facility.
34:52
Temporarily for two days. vaccines
34:55
don't have an effect.
34:56
The fertility, but in
34:58
people with span.
35:01
Getting hope it does. Yeah that.
35:04
is that he said that when i
35:06
And we are getting so. you know if you
35:08
really want to have a kid and are worried about your
35:10
facility Then you got testicles
35:13
it, it seems to me like you. The trying to avoid
35:15
Kobe. Not the mac think
35:17
make sense to me. "The
35:20
final thing that I want to talk about just quickly
35:23
is this", said no money and of
35:25
seeding deaths in the assembly. Men
35:27
and given off this feeling of a conspiracy
35:29
theories. I don't know where the
35:31
malone intended to do this. Gave
35:34
me this feeling that like
35:36
you contrast the media the CDC
35:39
the scientific consensus it's.
35:41
the whole The conspiracy, mean
35:43
that look into this. What we're
35:46
experiencing?
35:47
"The is a coordinated media warfare,
35:50
the level of which we have never seen before,
35:53
and I my peers who were experienced
35:56
in multiple outbreaks have never seen
35:59
this level" The of coordinated
36:01
propaganda. I can't imagine
36:03
something. The actually
36:05
you tend to say with conspiracy theories.
36:08
Ah, you.
36:09
People who are promoting
36:12
them off the descent says, "like I
36:14
know something you don't know" Which
36:16
is fine, like everyone wants to
36:18
be. involved in Gaza of
36:20
Street near be the smartest person the room in
36:22
separate smartest person in the room you,
36:24
know and once you do that once you
36:27
say I know something you don't and
36:29
you can't trust the establishment. he
36:32
didn't who are you less to trust The
36:35
line, right? Which
36:37
is why what he said towards the
36:39
end of the show. Really struck
36:41
me. He was talking about. How
36:44
we're all just see bowl? The
36:46
fancy on the say, they say, basically. The
36:49
answer is mess formation
36:51
psychosis. When you have a society.
36:54
The has become decoupled from each
36:56
other.
36:57
And has free floating anxiety
37:00
in a sense that things don't make
37:02
sense. We can't understand
37:05
it. And then their attention
37:07
gets focus by a leader or series
37:09
of events on one small
37:11
point, dislike hypnosis. Then.
37:15
Literally become hypnotized in can
37:17
be lead anywhere in.
37:20
one of the aspects of that sonoma
37:22
is the people that they identify as their leaders
37:25
The ones typically the come in and
37:28
say you have this pain
37:30
and I can solve it for you, and alone.
37:33
They can fix this problem for U
37:36
K. then they will lead they will follow
37:38
that person
37:40
And you know it?
37:42
No says think that is going too far,
37:45
but the research does show that
37:47
when allied still. Control,
37:49
we do tend to look for stability elsewhere
37:51
to cope with this anxiety. Does
37:54
it give you a sense of security when
37:56
the is as some? You can trust and be
37:59
thinking minute. The totally bonkers
38:02
someone is telling you are gonna be all right, you
38:04
are going to be alright, I have the solution. That
38:06
as was listening to this episode,
38:09
couldn't help but feel.
38:11
That. The line
38:13
himself. I'm
38:16
not the intended to do this at all. Then
38:18
he will. Weeping
38:21
as into a frenzy like making
38:23
nice. ill anxious about
38:26
not trusting. The
38:28
establishment in the things I'm hearing. The
38:31
men. He was offering solution
38:34
which. Then. I
38:37
he talked about the next in and, like, when
38:39
can talk about that. Maybe save for another
38:41
day, it's not the solution, by the way have looked
38:44
into it. Then
38:46
just found that. So
38:48
ironic. By ah.
38:52
you know of mean, my, the
38:54
thing that makes me really want to scream.
38:56
And they have made me want to seem that with another
38:58
thing to the podcast, especially as it wrapped
39:00
up, and I realized that they kind of
39:03
miss. And anytime soon
39:05
as Monday, a little bit with the market
39:07
itself, but in general. They.
39:10
are not talking about the studies that show
39:13
that vaccines work, they just don't
39:15
mention them and their digital mention
39:18
any of the positive and so, like he said,
39:20
vaccines are a risk benefit
39:22
analysis with the risk of the shots"
39:25
The risk of the illness and, in this
39:27
episode it seems like they don't really consider
39:30
the benefits of the vaccines at all
39:32
it's like they're making big pro
39:34
con lists. and they're
39:36
just reading south and the concert and are
39:38
not ready anything in ready pro side Though.
39:41
That make the kind of frustrating seal.
39:43
I personally like little tidbits of criticisms
39:46
or studies have a like side
39:49
or weird mechanisms of like, oh,
39:51
is that true that, he says, that "Us, when
39:53
actually like big picture, their
39:56
miss seeing this like really
39:58
good data, we have fun" Real
40:00
people in the real world.
40:02
Showing that if you get vaccinated,
40:04
you're less likely to get coven your
40:06
last time that he got sick and are less likely to die, and
40:08
I mean the latest data we have, it looks at almost
40:11
half a million people with coven this
40:13
is during Omicron in the U.S.
40:15
And it shows that I'm vaccinated people
40:17
are twenty three times more likely
40:19
to be hospitalized.
40:21
From? People who are too fat and a booster, and
40:24
you know this data is new, they didn't
40:26
have it at the time of that interview for the
40:28
had gobs of other studies. That show something
40:30
similar that vaccines keep you
40:32
at the hospital and so it's not
40:34
talk about that in your conversation about the south.
40:37
The me feels completely lopsided
40:39
and as. Quick, the major problem
40:41
I have here. Well said Rice
40:44
while said. The wendy.
40:53
The and.
40:54
One more night and going three this
40:56
episode of Regen South.
41:00
The hearing. The misleading
41:02
south in there was pretty frustrating. The
41:04
not fly on Monday, me
41:06
and out landed a blood trail announced on Twitter
41:09
that until. Modify improves
41:11
it's policies. We are going to make
41:13
any more new signs that this episodes.
41:17
Note intended to counteract misinformation.
41:20
Right on the platform. Which
41:22
I should say is bigger than Joe rogan Now,
41:26
the older been a correction in this episode
41:29
when we first published this app, we
41:31
said that we only found one
41:33
reported case of someone who had died
41:35
from my con artist after. In carpet
41:37
back things. We went back
41:39
and rechecked out work, and we actually
41:42
say. Eberle, more death. Hey,
41:44
we fix it in this version of the episode,
41:47
and I'm this really sorry we didn't catch that the first
41:49
time. Now,
41:51
like we said at the beginning of the show, "If
41:53
you want to look into any of the things
41:55
that we talked about on the So any of the studies
41:58
you want to dive into the details" Please do
42:00
in the show now you'll see link to transcript
42:03
with all the citations in them is
42:05
