Allan has seen a documentary that he
0:06
told me about last night I was I was
0:09
blown away by your description of this
0:12
movie Allan um obviously we all live
0:16
through the
0:18
covid crisis what do we call it pandemic
0:21
everyone says you know the pandemic and
0:24
we we learned a lot we learned a lot
0:28
about how much government likes to exert
0:30
its
0:31
control we learned Co may be real but
0:34
maybe our reaction was not the best
0:37
there is now a documentary that's out
0:40
you told I said Allan you have to talk
0:42
about this tell me about covid
0:44
collateral yeah so co co collateral so
0:47
there are certainly uh those people who
0:49
are conspiracy theorists about Co that
0:52
maybe we overreacted to the covid crisis
0:55
maybe lockdowns wasn't the right thing
0:57
to do uh maybe uh putting people on
1:01
intubators was was the wrong thing to do
1:03
and maybe killing them and making things
1:06
worse maybe the vaccine maybe Iver
1:08
mechon was The Cure and not vaccines
1:10
maybe uh maybe there was a coverup over
1:15
the work being done at the Wuhan Corona
1:18
virus uh
1:19
Laboratory um this movie basically pulls
1:22
all of those conspiracy theories and
1:24
presents uh what people were thinking
1:26
about uh while Co was happening and I
1:30
will say
1:31
this uh I think if you are going to be
1:35
truly honest and if you truly want to
1:37
understand uh what happened uh whether
1:40
you believe it or not it's important to
1:42
get the other side and this is the other
1:44
side uh this movie uh is about uh what
1:48
70 70 minutes and uh it's packed with
1:52
information uh just starts off with the
1:55
fact that uh you know we've had
1:57
pandemics in the past and we somehow
2:00
survived those how is it that we weren't
2:03
going to survive covid uh and then it
2:06
goes on to to discuss did lockdowns
2:09
really help did did lockdowns work uh
2:12
then they bring up certain facts that
2:14
they pulled out for example if you went
2:17
in the early days of it if you got covid
2:19
they put you on an incubator and 90 90%
2:22
of those people who got put on
2:24
intubators uh died um then uh you know
2:28
so it goes through the science of it all
2:30
then it goes into our responses to it uh
2:33
the censorship that was occurring the of
2:37
doctors scientists who had qu who began
2:41
questioning uh what the public was being
2:43
told about the science behind covid that
2:46
they were not only being fired from
2:47
their jobs but then they were being
2:49
banned off of social media and YouTube
2:51
uh so that they were
2:53
silenced uh and then uh it ends with the
2:58
Tony fouchy and his work uh the you know
3:02
the US was putting money into this Wuhan
3:04
lab uh to study gain of function
3:07
research for the Corona virus and uh and
3:11
that maybe Anthony fouchy uh has a has
3:14
uh has some uh explaining to do let's
3:18
put it this way and uh the the funniest
3:21
thing I the thing that was pointing out
3:24
to me in this in this video that I
3:26
hadn't really thought about until until
3:28
then was to say that covid came out of
3:32
the Wuhan lab was racist but to say that
3:36
covid came out of a a disease bat from a
3:39
Chinese wet Market that that wasn't
3:43
racist so this is you
3:48
know I I don't think it's I think it's
3:50
pretty clear my feelings on this what
3:52
what you think my feelings are about
3:54
this uh because I've certainly had
3:56
conversations with friends who you know
3:58
labeled me uh you know vaccine denier
4:01
and things like that and and all it was
4:02
was me asking questions uh during the
4:05
during the the pandemic I was looking at
4:09
the numbers uh almost every day and uh
4:12
the thing that struck me was that the
4:15
majority of covid deaths took place in
4:17
two locations Los Angeles and New York
4:20
City and everywhere else it was you know
4:23
it was like you just felt like you could
4:25
do it and and then the reality is if I I
4:27
don't think I personally know anybody
4:29
who died of covid um maybe a friend of a
4:32
friend but I'm just saying you know I I
4:35
think it's safe to say that we may have
4:37
overblown this and this documentary just
4:40
kind of goes through it and if you are
4:42
one who believes everything the media
4:44
had told you and everything the
4:45
government had told you you know I would
4:47
just say watch this because you do need
4:49
to get another side to either bolster
4:51
your opinion and say um you know I saw
4:54
this I didn't buy into its effects uh
4:56
and now my opinion is stronger or maybe
4:59
what we need to do is come to the truth
5:02
behind what happened with Co and the
5:04
only way you can get to the truth is
5:06
question the facts that we were being
5:08
given and um there you go that's my
5:10
political diet tribe and that's and
5:12
that's what any good documentary should
5:14
do ask questions let the viewer decide
5:17
but I'll say this if you are pardoning
5:20
like with fouchy pre- pardoning
5:23
someone yeah they I I feel like the is
5:27
almost like you might be guilty of some
5:30
if you're being prepared like does that
5:32
I think it implies guilt the person is
5:36
guilty all I'll say is this um look I I
5:39
was a good American I wore my mask I
5:42
thought I'll just do what they say but
5:45
whatever I think it's overreaction I
5:47
never got covid even though I was around
5:50
people who got it yes it they were sick
5:54
you know and it was nasty I never got it
5:58
myself
6:00
um even I tested myself uh I asked
6:04
questions at at the beginning I'm like
6:06
okay just going to follow what the rules
6:08
are I think maybe we're overreacting but
6:11
wow by the end of that the fact that
6:14
California you know hung on to those
6:18
authoritarian rules so long were
6:21
horrible and things like the pineapple
6:23
Hill
6:24
Saloon which is the bar that was shut
6:27
down could not work people didn't work
6:30
and then a Hollywood production directly
6:33
next to it got to open up and and do
6:35
their business it's BS I call BS lots of
6:39
things open my eyes to the BS of this we
6:42
need this Doc and we need people we need
6:46
us to look back and really question
6:48
things safe and effective safe and
6:51
effective for Google uh algorithm there
6:54
um yes we're only commenting on what the
6:56
document we're commenting on the doc on
6:58
the doc but yeah this was
7:01
um I I don't ever want to go through
7:04
that again and I think that if there's
7:06
another one and they try to push this
7:08
there is going to be huge push back I
7:12
don't agree with the Mandate you had to
7:15
be to get it to get the jab uh don't
7:18
agree I think it's a personal choice and
7:21
there are a lot of people in my family
7:22
that were split my um my sister has four
7:28
daughters uh
7:30
they were not real into getting it now
7:33
um yeah so I'm all I'm just saying is I
7:36
think you make your own choice but I
7:40
really I feel like the public trust in
7:43
government and health officials is
7:45
dramatically down and they are to blame
7:48
they are they they blame everything but
7:50
themselves so I'm glad this Doc is out
7:53
yeah the the thing that that Co did that
7:57
I think was the biggest crime was it now
8:00
made us question
8:02
science yeah you know uh and the there's
8:06
another thing the this whole ior mechon
8:08
thing uh how the media ior mechon won
8:12
the Nobel Prize for medicine uh it is
8:16
one of the safest drugs it was found to
8:18
Be an Effective uh way to to uh deal
8:22
with the symptoms of covid and what the
8:26
conclusion that the documentary made not
8:28
my conclusion but we're report in what
8:29
this documentary had said was that was
8:32
that they had to they had to demonize
8:35
Ivor mechon otherwise the vaccine
8:38
program would have been
8:39
useless and uh and it just seemed like
8:42
this was a way to prop up Pharma
8:43
companies uh according to the
8:45
documentary and not our personal
8:46
opinions well I plan to watch this where
8:49
can I see it Alan I believe I'm pretty
8:51
sure it's uh
8:53
it's uh
8:55
