During the lockdown, Italy implemented strict measures where people were only allowed to leave their houses once every two weeks for one hour to buy groceries. They had to carry a certificate to prove they were allowed to do so. However, Americans didn't respond positively to such prohibitions.

I want life back to normal, which means having the freedom to get vaccinated and travel. The pandemic has taught me that it causes death. So, my advice to everyone in America, the world, and Germany is simple: get vaccinated. You can do it too.

They closed gyms, churches, and small businesses but left fast food, big box stores open. Kids wore masks at school and during sports. People who questioned were shunned. Variants caused less fear over time. People revolted against narratives. Bird flu scare led to self-sufficiency with chickens. Big pharma exposed for profit. Awareness of human trafficking increased. Dollar failing, rumors of backing with gold. Better days ahead.

Speaker contrasts health care in the US and Italy. They state that 'doctors in The US will prescribe antibiotics at any chance they can,' while noting that their boyfriend in Italy was sick and 'he went to his doctor, and his doctor told him to get rest and drink some milk before bed.' They ask, 'I'm sorry, but where is that information in The US?' and describe the difference as 'crazy to me the difference that we see between health care in America versus health care in Italy,' adding that this is 'one tiny example of how the system works in America versus Italy.' The remarks illustrate a perceived disparity in how health care systems operate across the two countries.

I frequently called the Secretary of Health and Human Services in Massachusetts to discuss COVID-19 restrictions. She mentioned they were not allowing professional football, and I agreed. We also talked about when they would ease restrictions, with the plan being to do so the following Monday.

China's response to the pandemic was initially seen as extreme and aggressive, but it has now become the new norm. Lockdown measures have been implemented, raising concerns about individual rights. However, the balance between individual rights and public safety is constantly evolving. After 9/11, airports worldwide introduced strict safety checks, and people accepted them in exchange for greater public good. Similarly, China imposed the largest and most extensive quarantine in history, shutting down factories, halting public transport, and enforcing stay-at-home orders. This approach helped flatten the curve, preventing millions of cases and tens of thousands of deaths. However, it also strained hospitals over a longer period. Europe and America should take note of China's experience.

Lockdowns will not be implemented again, as they have proven to be ineffective. Peru has had the most severe lockdown since March, enforced by the military, yet it has the highest per capita mortality rate from COVID-19. The global pandemic, originating from China, has led to the closure of economies worldwide. Currently, there are spikes in COVID-19 cases in Europe and various other regions.

Treating people like adults and providing qualified information could have potentially prevented lockdowns. However, disagreeing with this perspective, the speaker argues that not knowing the outcome doesn't change the necessity of lockdowns. Lockdowns were implemented when the hospital system in New York was overwhelmed, aiming to halt the spread of the virus. While lockdowns have gained a negative reputation, they were considered a last resort and were never intended to be permanent.

I frequently called the secretary of health and human services in Massachusetts, who worked for a republican governor. We discussed whether professional football should be allowed, and we both agreed it shouldn't. We also talked about when restrictions would be eased, and they mentioned it would happen next Monday.

Speaker 0: They use them for to amplify fear, to boost compliance, and, of course, push those vaccines. Well, joining me now is primary care physician and author of unavoidably unsafe childhood Reconsidered. Doctor Jeff Barky is with us. Doc, it's great to have you back on. Speaker 1: Hey, Grant. Thanks for having me. Great to be with you. Speaker 0: Alright. I know this comes as no surprise, this number, that only fourteen percent of the PCR positive turned out to be COVID in Germany. I would imagine it translates to The United States. But your reaction and now seeing this done by real scientists, real doctors in a real journal of medicine. Speaker 1: Well, there's no surprise by this study. We knew it all along. The PCR test was never designed to detect infection. What it detects is miniscule particles of the RNA virus, and then they would crank up the cycle threshold. They would amplify the test to create positivity. And so the problem is that you could test the side of a table and get a positive result, let alone that we were actually going to treat based on a test result. I was always taught in medical school, we don't treat test results, we treat patients. And that's what I tried to do. And then the government went out of its way to suppress effective repurposed medication, like hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin. This was a money game. This was a scam. This was all based on fear. No surprise out of Germany. Speaker 0: You know, I I believe it. And let's not forget because we always talk about the money and the vaccines and big pharma and their ties to government, and I know that was a lot. But let's not forget too. This was weaponized to keep people home so they wouldn't vote for president Trump during during that twenty twenty election. It was all part of the big steal. Speaker 1: These positives, they wanted lots of positives. They didn't want negatives. They wanted positives. Didn't they, doc? Speaker 0: They absolutely did for a variety of reasons. The more you can keep people in fear, the more likely it is they're gonna follow your directive. We've never seen anything like this before. The government imposing its will upon free citizens. They closed churches. They closed mom and pop stores. They forced healthy people to stay indoors, and they closed down hospitals and told sick people to stay away. I've never seen anything like that happen before. The sad part here, Grant, is I'm not clear that the American people learned their lesson. And when the government comes around and does this again, I just hope enough of us will stand up this time and say, hell no. Well

If you choose not to get vaccinated, it may affect where you work, your children's education, and your ability to attend church during a public health crisis. Despite restrictions, people found ways to adapt like attending virtual church services and implementing mask mandates in schools. There were workarounds to the restrictions, such as holding services outside and transitioning to online learning.

One thing that's absolutely blown my mind since moving to Italy is Italians are not obsessed like Americans with drinking water. It seems like Americans just can't get enough proper hydration. I mean, growing up, I was taught to drink eight glasses of water a day. But somehow, we've turned into massive hydration zombies carrying massive sized Stanley Cup water bottles everywhere we go. Yet, I've never seen an Italian carry a large water bottle or carry a water bottle ever. Do they require less hydration than we do? Why do we need so much water? I saw a guy the other day walking through the city with one of those water packs with plastic hosing that comes in his mouth, and he's sucking hydration while he's walking through the city.

China effectively suppressed the virus through strict measures, violating individual rights but achieving impressive results. Their ability to quickly build hospitals and enforce compliance with masks kept virus numbers low. This approach influenced other countries' responses, as it was not part of the traditional playbook. Even Sweden, often cited for its different approach, implemented behavioral changes. The US, despite being a leading economy and having top epidemiologists, performed poorly. The speaker attributes this to a belief in freedom without further elaboration.

During COVID-19, the speaker believes the government was authoritarian and imposed a vaccine passport. As an unvaccinated person, the speaker was unable to travel across the country. When asked if they regretted not getting vaccinated, the speaker stated it was the best decision of their life.

During COVID, I was on the board of my kids' school and initially supported a strict lockdown policy. However, I now realize that keeping kids out of school for longer had a greater negative impact than the risks. We all operated with imperfect information, including myself, the CDC, and the governor. Let's learn from this and hold each other accountable while showing grace and forgiveness. Unfortunately, about 1 in 5 US adults are unwilling to get vaccinated, making them the global runner-up in vaccine hesitancy. This means roughly 56 million Americans are 11 times more likely to die from COVID than the rest of the population. It's embarrassing that some Americans are playing Russian roulette with their lives and the lives of others. Despite this, America's healthcare response to COVID has been a victory, thanks to the vaccines.

China's response to the pandemic was initially seen as extreme, but people have now accepted it as the new normal. Lockdown measures have been criticized for violating individual rights, but the balance between personal freedoms and public safety is always changing. After 9/11, airports implemented strict security checks, and people accepted the trade-off for the greater good. China imposed the largest quarantine in history, shutting down factories, public transport, and keeping people indoors. This approach helped flatten the curve, preventing millions of cases and tens of thousands of deaths. However, it also stretched out the time and put strain on hospitals. Europe and America should learn from China's experience.

The future of Italy is in our hands, and we must be responsible. Everyone needs to do their part. Therefore, starting today, these measures will be implemented throughout the country. We have already implemented them in the northern regions, including Lombardy and some provinces. Unfortunately, the numbers show a significant increase in infections, hospitalizations in intensive care units, and deaths.

While in the US, I notice how little I walk. I don’t own a car in Italy, and I walk everywhere—grocery store, doctor, train station. Walking is such a part of everyday life in Italy that I feel sad when I’m in the US and can’t walk. You drive everywhere, even for a street crossing. There are some walkable US cities, but for the most part the country isn’t very walkable. In the US I have to make a conscious effort to move my body every day; otherwise, I don’t move. In Italy I don’t even need a gym membership—I just walk so much in my daily life, move so much in my daily life that activity is part of my lifestyle, and I honestly prefer that.

During the lockdown, Italy implemented strict measures where people were only allowed to leave their houses once every two weeks for a one-hour grocery shopping trip. They had to carry a certificate to prove they were allowed to be out. However, Americans didn't respond positively to such prohibitions.

"one of the biggest differences that I've noticed is that in America, quite simply, people drink to get drunk." "alcohol, while there certainly are people who drink to get drunk, is really just part of the gastronomic culture in Italy." "It is not uncommon to have a glass of wine or a glass of alcohol at lunch or at dinner." "What about a peritivo? What about a perice?" "not drinking or choosing to drink a non alcoholic drink was never a problem amongst my friends." "there was a tremendous amount of guilt, judgment, and pressure to drink." "Well, why don't you drink? Are you an alcoholic? Do you have a drinking problem?" "It's weird that you don't drink." "It is not uncommon for an Italian to be a stemia or to not drink."

We must stay at home, as the future of Italy is in our hands. Each of us must be responsible and do our part. Therefore, starting today, these measures will apply throughout the country. We have already implemented them in the northern part, including Lombardy and some provinces. Unfortunately, the numbers show a significant increase in infections, hospitalizations in intensive and sub-intensive care, and sadly, deaths.

China effectively suppressed the virus through authoritarian measures, violating individual rights but achieving impressive results. Their ability to quickly build hospitals and enforce mask-wearing kept virus numbers low. This strict lockdown approach set a new tone for other countries' responses, deviating from the traditional epidemiological playbook. Even Sweden, often cited for its different approach, still implemented behavioral changes. As for the US, despite being the world's largest economy and having top epidemiologists, its response has been poor. The speaker attributes this to a belief in freedom, implying a reluctance to implement strict measures.

I did not recommend locking everything down. I advised the president to shut the country down, which was a tough decision due to the significant economic consequences it would bring.

During COVID-19, the speaker believes the government was authoritarian and imposed a vaccine passport. Because the speaker is unvaccinated, they were unable to travel across the country. When asked if they regret not being vaccinated, the speaker said no, stating it was the best decision of their life.

We discussed masks and both of us personally wore them. Wearing masks didn't seem like a big inconvenience to me, as we ask people to wear pants. Initially, when the infection started, we didn't realize the significant benefits of wearing masks. The message about masks was meant to be bipartisan and focused on protecting others.
