| World Bank, UNICEF, USA, this is not a conservative crowd. | |
| This is liberal and left-wing crowd. | |
| But it doesn't matter, you get it? | |
| So what if 12 million kids are stunted in their growth? | |
| It doesn't matter. | |
| We need a lockdown. | |
| That's what Bill Gates says. | |
| Why do people go to Bill Gates for any advice? | |
| I don't understand it. | |
| The man made money in Microsoft? | |
| So what? | |
| So what? | |
| Does it mean he has common sense? | |
| It's completely unrelated. | |
| Does it mean he has wisdom? | |
| Does it mean he's a decent man? | |
| Nothing. | |
| It means nothing. | |
| Do you understand? | |
| There's no difference between that and the most RBI in a season. | |
| Runs batted in for those of you who forgot what baseball is about. | |
| Which is increasingly happening to sports as they radicalize. | |
| Lockdown. | |
| Ruin healthy people's lives. | |
| Thank you. | |
| 12 million kids. | |
| Leaders are just afraid. | |
| Just afraid. | |
| Including the handful of conservative leaders around the world. | |
| They're afraid. | |
| They don't want people dying on their watch. | |
| 12 million more children could suffer from severe malnutrition. | |
| Right. | |
| The majority of those hurt will be in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, which I told you from the beginning, the single stupidest of all the stupid ones was India and Africa, closing down their societies. | |
| Osin Darp, the executive director... | |
| Saskia Osendard, executive director of the Micronutrient Forum, claims, quote, an entire generation is at stake. | |
| She said children will be born malnourished at birth. | |
| These children are disadvantaged from the very start. | |
| Yep, tell that to Bill Gates in his $150 million mansion. | |
| Or the Democrats. | |
| The rich Democrats who loved the lockdown. | |
| Global hunger was steadily declining until the coronavirus pandemic hit early this year. | |
| The number of stunted children globally had fallen from nearly 200 million to 144 million from 2000 to 2019. The number of children wasting reportedly dropped from 54 million to 47 million over the course of the 2010s. | |
| It will now rise back to 2010. It's really terrible that there was that number to begin with. | |
| It's very depressing. | |
| In the United States, the number of people who have experienced food insecurity at some point in 2020 is projected to reach up to 50 million, according to Feeding America. | |
| That number is up from 35 billion. | |
| I don't know why we had 35 billion. | |
| I don't believe that, to be honest. | |
| Food insecurity? | |
| 35 million Americans had food insecurity prior to the lockdown? | |
| I don't believe it. | |
| Sebastian Rushworth is an MD in Sweden who has his own website. | |
| As far as I am aware, he writes, not a single government anywhere has presented a carefully deliberated cost-benefit analysis in which they look at all aspects and then explain why they think lockdown is the right decision in spite of all the likely harms. | |
| During the COVID peak in spring in Stockholm, hospital admissions due to heart attacks were down 40%. | |
| It's very important for you to know this is true all over. | |
| All over. | |
| Presumably, the number of people having heart attacks didn't decrease by 40%, so most likely a lot of people were having heart attacks but choosing to stay home for fear of catching COVID. God, has the brainwash of the press worked? | |
| I went in during the height of the epidemic. | |
| I went to the hospital for two days for re-injuring my back. | |
| I'm fine now, but I went in. | |
| I had zero hesitation. | |
| It's not a pleasant experience because nobody could visit you. | |
| But I slept most of the time. | |
| There was an 8% increase in cardiovascular mortality during the lockdown compared with what normally would be expected for the time period at the same time. | |
| The proportion of cardiovascular deaths happening in hospitals decreased from 63 to 53 percent. | |
| While the proportion happening out of hospital, that's private homes or care homes, increased from 37 to 47 percent. | |
| More people died outside of hospital and more people died overall because they didn't get the help they needed for their coronavirus emergency. | |
| In 2019, the average time from beginning of symptoms to arrival in the hospital was 161 minutes. | |
| In 2020, the average time had more than doubled to 387 minutes. | |
| If you have a stroke, the doubling of time is going to be fatal or terribly injurious. | |
| Deaths due to delays in seeking treatment aren't directly due to lockdown. | |
| Rather, they are due to government and media fear-mongering. | |
| But that fear-mongering has been and continues to be knowingly used as a tool to get people to accept tough restrictions. | |
| That's exactly correct. |
