=== Anti-Vaxxers: The Winners? (01:37) ===

[00:00:00]  Here's what's going to happen.
[00:00:03]  I'm going to tell you that the people who the anti-vaxxers appear to be right.
[00:00:09]  Somebody who did not get vaccinated got a little Omicron or maybe even a worse one but recovered.
[00:00:18]  Now you've got natural immunity and you have no vaccination in you.
[00:00:24]  Can we all agree that that was the winning path?
[00:00:27]  The smartest, happiest people are the ones who didn't get the vaccination and are still alive.
[00:00:33]  I want to make sure that I'm not leaving any wiggle room for myself.
[00:00:39]  Have I?
[00:00:40]  Have I said as clearly as possible they're the happy ones right now?
[00:00:44]  And have a reason to be, completely?
[00:00:48]  Having said as clearly as possible that the anti-vax people seem to be the winners, I want you to hear that clearly, the anti-vax people appear to be the winners.
[00:01:02]  The anti-vaxxers clearly are the winners at this point, and I think it'll probably stay that way.
[00:01:09]  And I don't want to put any shade on that whatsoever.
[00:01:13]  They came out the best.
[00:01:14]  They have the winning position.
[00:01:17]  The unvaccinated have a current advantage because they feel better.
[00:01:23]  The thing they're not worrying about is what I have to worry about, which is, I wonder if that vaccination's five years from now.
[00:01:31]  Because really, the anti-vaxxers, I think, were really just distrustful of big companies and big government.

=== Anti-Vax Winners (01:16) ===

[00:01:38]  That's never wrong.
[00:01:40]  It's never wrong to distrust government.
[00:01:43]  It's never wrong to distrust big companies.
[00:01:47]  So if you just took the position, let's just distrust everything the government did, well, you won.
[00:01:53]  You won.
[00:01:56]  You won completely.
[00:01:58]  I did not end up in the right place.
[00:02:01]  Agree?
[00:02:03]  You would all agree with that, right?
[00:02:05]  I did not end up in the right place.
[00:02:07]  The right place would be natural immunity, no vaccination.
[00:02:13]  You should take victory, and I should take defeat.
[00:02:17]  We can agree on that, right?
[00:02:19]  That my position is now the weakest, and your position has gone from the weakest to the strongest, and that we can just say that's true.
[00:02:29]  The people who didn't get vaxxed are absolutely in the winning position.
[00:02:35]  You win.
[00:02:37]  You win.
[00:02:38]  You are the winners.
[00:02:40]  You are the winners.
[00:02:42]  Let me say that part with no ambiguity.
[00:02:46]  You won.
[00:02:47]  You won.
[00:02:51]  All of my fancy analytics got me to a bad place.
