0:00.0	Hey everybody, welcome to Health Theory. Today's guest is Dr. David Sinclair. He's an acclaimed
0:05.3	Harvard professor and researcher who has taken on the task of synthesizing as much of the scientific
0:11.1	data coming out surrounding COVID-19 as humanly possible. He also researched and wrote about
0:16.9	pandemics in his groundbreaking book Lifespan and was named by Time Magazine as one of the most
0:22.0	influential people on the planet. And while he is very careful to point out that he is not a
0:27.0	medical doctor, his analysis of the current crisis is being shared far and wide. And that is where I
0:33.6	want to start. So help us begin to tease out fact from fiction, man. I think that would really help people.
0:40.8	Hey Tom, well, there's a lot of misinformation for everyone. In fact, there's another 10
0:47.0	you know, BS stories out there. What first thing would be this is not a hoax, it's real, this is not
0:54.8	a five drill. Is anybody still calling this a hoax? Well, I think on Twitter that there's a lot of
1:00.8	crazy out there saying that this is not as bad as it as everyone says it is. It is as bad as it
1:07.5	one says. So I want to get into the weeds a little bit just because I find this the nature of a
1:12.8	virus to be something that I don't think I fully understand. I don't think a lot of people fully
1:16.6	understand. So to start, I want to start with what I think is the craziest thing that I've heard on
1:23.9	this topic. But it's being shared by people that I consider really intelligent because people can
1:31.1	sound so credible. So the craziest thing that I've heard on COVID-19 is that it is created by 5G.
1:38.5	And so and and I was like, oh, that sounds crazy to me. And the the person was like, no, no, no,
1:44.9	you got to watch this video. And they say it so compellingly. But I was like, ah, this doesn't sound
1:51.0	right. It's not. I've watched probably some of the same videos. It's complete crap actually.
1:56.6	Please don't believe it. I mean, first of all, we're getting much more radiation naturally than 5G
2:00.8	is giving any cell. Plus, the that's not a good correlation. You know, you could say, oh,
2:09.7	the bads of breathing so breathing causes this. There's a lot of correlations you can draw.
