Hi guys. So in the wake of YouTube giving me a disinformation strike or a medical disinformation

strike on my channel, prohibiting me from uploading any content for seven days because of things

that I said about COVID-19. It's actually not even things I said about COVID-19. It was a Pfizer

employee who admitted to the European Parliament that they didn't actually ever test the COVID vaccine

to see if it stopped the transmission of the vaccine. That's why YouTube gave me a strike.

I want to talk about this. I want to zoom out on this and talk about where government officials

went wrong, whether this was coincidental, whether it was idiocy, whether they dug in their heels,

whether this was intentional. And I want to talk about this with a man who was digging into the

data from the very beginning. He and I have talked many, many times about this over the

cover over the course of the past couple years. And he's out with a new book that lays this out

beautifully. The book is called Gone Viral. How COVID drove the world insane written by Justin

Hart. Justin, good to see you. Thanks for joining me. Liz, great to be with you again on your own show.

This is fantastic. So glad to be here. And I really appreciate you coming on the show. So

Justin years ago, and it is, we can actually say that now, years ago, when COVID started,

there was like a handful of people in the conservative movement who were like, wait a second.

Wait, just a second here. Something doesn't, something doesn't smell right. Something smells fishy

here. This is long before it became the popular conservative belief among politicians to be like,

oh, yeah, the Biden administration is doing COVID wrong. No, no, at the beginning, a lot of

Republicans and conservatives were actually okay with the idea of two weeks to slow the spread.

But you were among the few who right from the get go, I'm talking like March 2020 said,

hold on a second, stop something's wrong. What was that piece of data or the science on the virus?

Whatever it was, what was that first thing that caused you to say, nope, something's wrong here?
