    It’s actually true most obese are unaware they are obese.

    One final, albeit anecdotal comment. I worked for many years at multiple Government agencies in DC at the Department level. One day at an agency I will not name. I was summoned to the Public Affairs Office and met with the Office Director. He handed me a letter from a Congressman that contained about 20-30 questions. He said to write a response. I was to quote each question and then "weasel word" an answer. I took the letter back to my office and pondered the meaning of "weasel word." I decided it meant to flat out lie and a wrote a draft letter back to the Congressman containing outrageous lies. The next day the Public Affairs Office Director stopped my boss in the hall and told him what a great job I did on the letter. That was early in my career and I saw the same sort of thing repeated over and over again over the years So I learned not to trust the "party line" on anything. Not based on any unproven conspiracy theories. But rather based on personal experience and a knowledge of human nature.

    As a final comment, one example of BS with respect to Covid Guidance is the promulgation of the six foot rule which led to the circles on the floor found in retail stores, etc.

    https://www.studyfinds.org/social-distancing-six-feet-apart-outdated-science/

    The history of droplet emission science
    Researchers say modern social distancing guidelines are based on scientific studies from over 100 years ago. The six-foot rule was originally proposed in 1897 by Carl Flügge, a German bacteriologist who studied the movement patterns of fluid droplets expelled from the mouth when speaking, coughing, or sneezing. In his research, he found that visible fluid droplets containing pathogens travel about six feet.

    In the 1940’s, a study of a bacterium known as haemolytic streptococci confirmed Flügge’s original findings. That study shows that most bacteria-containing droplets stay close to their source. It also finds that a minority (10%) of people produce droplets that travel as far as 9.5 feet away.

    Despite the general and persisting belief that six feet is a safe distance in most circumstances, recent studies continue to prove this belief wrong. In a recent review of 10 studies on droplet emissions, eight of the 10 studies find that respiratory droplets can travel farther than six feet.

    One of those studies even reveals small droplets from a sneeze indoors can travel between 20 to 26 feet!

    Joe Rogan has a much larger audience than most of the folks on CNN

    Listened to it that day and Rogan tore him a new one, exposing this “doctor” for the liar and misinformation whore that he and CNN are.

    Goes to show who you can trust. CNN hasn’t been news since 2008. They’ve been propaganda ever since.

    Joe is such a great interviewer. He exposed Gupta making false claims, destroyed Guptas employer and got Gupta to agree with him, stumped Gupta on natural immunity, and did it like a gentleman without embarrassing Gupta or attacking him.

    I lost all respect for Gupta when I read Gupta’s piece on the interview on CNN.

    I guess he is too stupid to realize that when he lies about Rogan taking horse dewormer, and in the next sentence says, "Get the vaccine", it undermines the vaccine messaging. It appears you are willing to deny effectiveness of treatments in order to sell more vaccines.

    The moon landing comment is a strawman fallacy.
    The 9/11 inside job comment is a strawman fallacy.

    Please. Can you just present a well reasoned argument for whatever point you want to make without the strawman fallacies?

    Wow , he sure is tough. He seems to have kicked all knowledge that sound effects are easy to put in YouFake right out of some conservative's heads Wotta guy.

    Joe Rogan is beginning to get to me. Is he himself a parody of right wing pundits or what?

    Dude is a heavyweight mma fighter. I would in fact guarantee he's in better shape than you are.
    Why is that so difficult for you to accept? If you have intellectual quips to make, do so he's certainly open to a good number of those, but trying to lie and say the man isn't physically fit is just silly.

    Stop making excuses. I'll lay money he was really glad of the obesity since it let him get the treatments he didn't deserve IMO since he was unvaccinated.

    Again: Your refusal to admit he's physically fit despite the copious evidence only reveals your own insecurities.
    Its sad.
    Call him a dumb ape if you like, he's certainly that, but the dude is fit and that's a fact.
