Hi everybody this is God Sad I had not planned on doing a sad truth clip today

0:06.0

because it is Father's Day on a Sunday but last night as some of you may have witnessed Twitter was burning with exchanges as

0:21.0

relating to the recent conversation that Joe Rogan had with Robert F Kennedy

0:29.6

Jr regarding the vaccines, the COVID vaccines and so on. I haven't watched a clip or the

0:37.7

chat so I can't speak to its content and then apparently Peter Hautez, who's a virus scientist, I think he's a virologist or maybe a vaccinologist I'm not sure exactly what his official designation is but he's also been on Joe Rogan and he had been stating things like all know, these neo-fasists engaging in this anti-science and so on.

2:27.0

which exactly speaks to my point and believe me it's not that I'm you know the
