| The layman can understand it. | |
| I'm a doctor. | |
| The layman can understand the study, and I would encourage the readers to read it. | |
| I think it's worth reading because he, number one, establishes that masks are ineffective. | |
| In a medical rigorous study, that they are ineffective. | |
| Even medical masks, even N95s, even properly warned that this virus is simply molecularly too small. | |
| Like masks. | |
| And by the way, we know just intuitively that that makes sense because when we look at places in the country, Where masking is basically universal. | |
| Places like California, like my hometown of Chicago, like New York City, we still know that the virus has spread like crazy. | |
| And in some cases, actually has spread quite a bit more in the places that are the most significantly restricted and locked, compared to places where there is very little masking. | |
| So I think, you know, we just intuitively, from a common sense perspective, realize that the masks have not worked. | |
| But this is a scientific study, again, posted on the NIH website. | |
| That is the link I provided. | |
| I quoted from the actual study about the inefficacy of masks. | |
| I added just one line of my own commentary, dehumanizing and ineffective. | |
| And for that, Twitter took it down, took my account down. | |
| I'm now restored and back on. | |
| But I'll tell you what, I'm not going to stop talking about it, so I'm sure it's not long before I will stand entirely from Twitter. | |
| The fact that it is a government-published study doesn't even matter. | |
| Mm-hmm. | |
| Yeah. | |
| And they took you down, not just that tweet. | |
| Correct. | |
| Correct. | |
| I could not access Twitter at all. | |
| Not only could I not post, I didn't realize that's how that worked. | |
| I hadn't been put... | |
| Oh, you couldn't even... | |
| Oh, my God, I couldn't access other... | |
| I couldn't get to Twitter. | |
| And you know what I... Which, you know, shame on me, and I'm fixing this now in my own life, is... | |
| I realize how much I depend on Twitter just for my political news and my knowledge, you know, and to do broadcasting, right? | |
| And it really was a hamstring to not have that. | |
| And I've got to fix that because I don't want to be dependent on it and because, in all likelihood, I anticipate I will get banned permanently. | |
| It's sort of a system, so now I've got a big strike. | |
| And I'm not going to stop talking about it. | |
| I'm not going to be intimidated. | |
| To your point, too, about children, you know, as a father, this drove me crazy. | |
| A very abbreviated basketball season because Governor Pritzker in Illinois, one of the worst governors in America, forbade sports for almost all of the school year. | |
| We're really having dropouts here. | |
| So we were able to play basketball, thank goodness. | |
| My son loves hoops and I love watching and coached him for years. | |
| But you know what? | |
| These poor children, they had to wear masks in basketball on the court, Dennis. | |
| You know how high-intensity cardiovascular... | |
| We can only pray. | |
| That at some point in the future, this generation will be regarded as bizarre and irrational as those who believed in witches. | |
| And I agree with you. | |
| I think it is abusive. | |
| Not only is it just... | |
| It's not a mistake. | |
| No, it's abusive. | |
| What, two-year-olds on airplanes? | |
| Two-year-olds? | |
| These people are sick. | |
| Because statistically, again, let's rely on the data, right? | |
| These people claim to be the party of science, the people who are locking us down and who are forcing children to... | |
| The science tells us that for children, the regular seasonal flu is far more dangerous than is COVID-19. | |
| And we have never required that children play basketball with masks on to prevent the flu. | |
| Because it would be a ridiculous risk-reward calculation, right? | |
| It would be absurd. | |
| And all of life, to some extent, is a risk-reward calculation, right? | |
| That we all make every single day. | |
| Not to some extent. | |
| It's exactly what it is. | |
| What is the price is the only intelligent question. | |
| All right, listen, you let me know when you start your TV thing and I will happily promote it. | |
| Please, and please come on as well. | |
| I will happily come on. | |
| You've got a face for television, Dennis. | |
| Oh, I know. | |
| Wasted on radio. | |
| Completely wasted. | |
| Be well, my friend. | |
| He's terrific. | |
| Do you understand, folks? | |
| He put up a study. |
