tter than Europe. What I will tell you is we don't know why anything is working. We still don't. Like you know even the most basic thing which is well the most vaccinated country should be in the best shape. That doesn't even seem to hold at this point.

But the one thing I'm pretty sure is true is that there wasn't enough of a difference in leadership changing in the United States really in terms of the pandemic. Even Biden isn't that much different than Trump would have been I don't think. Europe changed that much leadership wise. So leadership just doesn't predict.

Is there anybody who's willing to agree with me at this point that leadership did not predict outcomes? Anybody? Is anybody willing to agree with me that leadership did not predict outcomes? Oh I got some agreement. Okay. Nope. All right so we have some agreement there. That's all I can ask for.

All right here's a little thing from Twitter. You know Twitter does this cool thing where if there's a big story and lots of tweeting on it they'll have they'll put their own editorial summary of what's going on with all the tweeting on that topic and I always like that because it's a real good fast way to learn what's going on. So I like the feature a lot.

But here's one way that they describe something and you tell me if this is biased or not, right? I'll just read the summary. It's a bullet point. One of three bullets under what you need to know that I assume Twitter editorial wrote. And I quote, "Public health officials warn against taking ivermectin, a drug often prescribed for animals that can be dangerous for people, to treat COVID-19."

Now does that sound a little bit biased? Do you think there was a better way to phrase this so you didn't suggest that people taking it were taking a horse medicine which of course is horseshit? This is like just mind-boggling that somebody could write this sentence.

Here would be an honest version of this. Public health officials warn against taking ivermectin, especially the animal version of it because it hasn't shown to be effective according to them. This is not me talking. And the animal version especially could be dangerous to humans.

Now it takes a little bit longer but it's at least it's clear, right? I would like to know that there's an animal and a human version and I would like to know that if you took the animal version you might have some problems but if you took the human version not so much. And that's the story, right?

Shaquille is still saying ivermectin saved lives all over Africa. I don't think so. I don't think so. You and I know you've seen the information that suggests that that's, I don't think that's going to stand up. I would make a very large bet that ivermectin is not saving Africa. I mean I don't know what's going on there but and I like to say also whenever I make a statement like that I can never be 100 percent sure. Can you accept that? Even when I talk with confidence you can't really be 100 percent sure of anything. We don't live in a world where anybody can do that. Not me. Not you. Not anybody.

So when I say things that sound like absolutes just in your mind translate that into not quite an absolute.

All right. And now I believe I've done my tiny bit of duty to help the supply chain because I feel like the supply chain problem is one of those things where there are enough brains and resources in existence but it hasn't quite been focused in the right places at the right time by the right people. And Ryan Peterson I would say is the most productive person on this and if I could give him a boost to boost his signal then I think that collectively we've done something good because you know it goes without saying but I'll say it anyway that my ability to boost Ryan Peterson's signal which I think has been productive and it may have been part of what got the governor to call him we don't know for sure but you can only do that because there are a lot of people paying attention. So that is all your power. If I helped you focus it
