People still fight you today on the merits of the lockdowns, the importance of vaccine mandates, closing schools. No, it's just a panic. Yeah. Am I going to make a decision based off of fear or faith or hope or using wisdom and knowing what are the tradeoffs here? The cure is worse than the disease. Hey, everyone, Dr. Josh Axe here. Welcome to the show. Today I'm going to be doing a breakdown of a video by Joe Rogan and Elon Musk, where they talk about something called

the mind virus. Elon Musk shares that he lost zero employees. Over 20,000, he lost zero due to COVID and why that is. And also he talks about, and I'm going to talk about why the cure is often worse than the disease. But I want to take a minute and check out this really enlightening video for just this one minute clip with Joe Rogan and Elon Musk. COVID got 70% of the restaurants in L.A. at one point. Wow. Not COVID, I should say. policies. Well, lockdowns. The mind virus. Did you lose anybody? Did anybody from your factory die of COVID? Not that I'm aware of now. So part of it is that like, uh, that I kind of saw a dress

rehearsal, which is that, you know, I kind of started in Wuhan. And so Tesla's got, uh, 20,000 employees in China. And so the, you know, the first wave happened in China and, and we had no, but he died or got seriously ill. I was like, okay, well, this is, you know, can't be that bad. And we're not relying on government statistics. We literally know who should have for work, you know? Right.

Did they badge in or not? And we have no, no one die and no one got seriously ill. So I'm like, well, I don't know what the big deal is. Well, there's a problem that people still want to stick to this initial narrative that they believed and that they espoused. But they repeated it. And so they'll still fight you on this today. People still fight you today on the merits of the lockdowns,

the importance of vaccine mandates, closing schools. There's people that stated an opinion in 2020. And they still are doing mental gymnastics to try to make it seem like that was the right choice. No, it was just a panic. Yeah, it was just a panic. And people make really bad decisions when they're in a panic. And I think there are a lot of life principles in this video.

There's health principles. There's moral principles. There's life principles. But here's the deal. These bad ideas tend to spread. And here's the biggest reason why. It's fear. If you're making decisions out of fear as our government leaders did and a lot of our

health care officials did, when you make a decision based on fear, it's going to lead to bad consequences and it's going to lead to bad decisions. If that is the number one vice or virtue, you're making decisions based off of of fear is not the best decision. Maybe we're thinking about it, if you're deciding who you're gonna marry based on fear, is that gonna lead to the best marriage possible?

If you're trying to make business decisions based on fear, your business will never grow. You're just gonna go into protective mode and do nothing. You know, Warren Buffett teaches this to investors. He says, listen, when people are all getting out of the market and freaking out and everybody's selling everything off,

that's when you invest. It's the exact opposite. You tend to instead see an opportunity there to help people get healthy. Let me tell you what they should have done during COVID. Rather than saying, okay, we're going to mask everybody. We're going to have mandates. We're going to isolate. We're going to focus on chemicals for things.

That's all we're going to do. Instead, hey, let's use this as an opportunity to help people get healthier. Let's teach them about the benefits of sunshine. Let's help them get vitamin D and Zing. Let's encourage people to eat fruits and vegetables. and immune supporting herbs like ginger and hey, let's do things to help the bigger crisis where people are dying of cancer and heart disease and diabetes and obesity, a number of things. No, instead it was, no, we're going to have, we're going to, we're going to drum up as much fear as

possible to where people do nothing. And it's absolutely crazy. So if you ever get in a situation, anything in life, you need to make a decision of, am I going to make a decision based off of fear or faith or hope or using wisdom? wisdom in knowing what are the tradeoffs here if we follow these. Man, it's, you know, the other thing he mentioned here, you know, Joe Rogan says 70% of the restaurants in L.A. were shut down. 70% of those people, businesses were her, lives were her in that process. And so, and Elon Musk also then, and he's going to get into this more, had zero

people die. So we see the numbers that the government was putting out there. And I remember going to both CNN and Fox. And I pulled them both up and they had these numbers on the side of how many people were dying per minute. And these weren't real numbers because they were actually counting not just COVID, but they basically said anyone that died of anything was due to COVID. I want you to watch this clip and you'll see this next here. And we're going to dive into something that's going to blow your mind with how many people actually die from medications and some other things here. A lot of deaths go described to COVID that had nothing to do with COVID. And in fact, I'd say in the beginning, the cure is worse than the disease.

So because people panic too much. And so that somebody would get diagnosed with COVID, they'd put them on intubated ventilator for a week. And this is going to basically cook your lungs. So if you aren't pure O2 under pressure with a tube stuck down your throat and under anesthetic, this is very bad for you. Like it's one thing if you do that for a couple hours for an operation, you do that for a week, it's going to roast your lungs. Like, the air that we're breathing right now is 78% nitrogen, 1% argon, about 21% oxygen,

and some miscellaneous. So if you ask most people, what are you breathing? It's the oxygen. No, you're breathing nitrogen. Only about a fifth of it is oxygen. And there's about 1% argon. So I know quite a lot about life support systems. Could we make spaceships?

And you have to keep people alive. a vacuum. Well, you know, maybe they should have asked Elon Musk his take. You know, I think it would have been a better than asking someone like a Bill Gates. I mean, he's a real expert here on oxygen and looking at some of these numbers that he saw before from his organization. I want to go back to something he said here. The cure is worse than the disease. And we saw this during COVID. If you look at the amount alcoholism that went up, drug abuse, kids getting six months to a year behind in school and learning. People losing all of their finances and the things they've worked hard for, all of those losses, you know, relationships. Like a lot of people lost their loved ones because

they were isolated, not because they were actually sick, because they didn't have community and love and support during that time. And so obviously the cure was worse than the disease. And he's talking about here, those ventilators cooking people's lungs. And that's the truth of almost every medication. though, think about this. I used to have a mentor. He said this to me once. He said, okay, if taking a whole bottle of Advil or Tylenol would kill you quickly, how long, you know, if that kills you quickly, how long does taking one pill a day kill you? It kills you slowly. All that going back to this is saying, when you take synthetic chemicals or do something that's that unnatural for that long, there are side effects. And this is the biggest thing

that our government doesn't understand in our health care system is there are tradeoffs. You think, oh, I'm fixing this over here, but you're actually creating a bigger problem downstream. It's like we're taking a cholesterol drug. You take a cholesterol drug, okay, your cholesterol number gets better,

but it actually doesn't decrease your rate of heart disease, and now you've got liver issues, you've got nervous system problems, you've got all kinds of issues that are actually going to cause an early death. And so listen to this statistic. 94% of those deaths that were attributed to COVID, people really died due to something called comorbidities. They had other conditions.

And so they weren't dying just because, oh, I caught a cold. Like no college student or virtually none, you know, caught COVID and passed away. Most of them just some of them had it and they didn't even know it. What happened was 94% of people that died had a condition like high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, pneumonia, they already had something else going on. In fact, when you look at how many people died during this COVID, those two years of COVID, how many people died of the common cold flu or pneumonia? It's like those just disappeared into almost zero.

It's like, well, how did, how was all of a sudden those just disappeared? Well, because all of them were shocked up as COVID. And even people that died of these other conditions, they still said, oh, no, it was COVID without actually knowing if it was. So true COVID deaths was only 6% of that that was attributed according to a recent study. I'm quoting studies here. Here's another one that's going to blow your mind according to what Elon Musk said. He said, the cure is worse than the disease. Did you know there's a definition of something called iatrogenic disease or death?

And that is where people die from medical mistakes like he's talking about of cooking their lungs during COVID. Well, according to a study at Johns Hopkins University in 2016, around two, 250,000 people per year die from medical mistakes. And actually they say that's the low ball number. They say that's the amount we're certain of. They said it could be closer to 500,000. And I've seen some people say it's probably closer to a million. Now, that's medical mistakes. That doesn't count somebody who's being prescribed a drug at the right dose of the right time who eventually dies later on. You know, if somebody's taking, you know, metformin and eventually they die of a nervous system issue, like, well, that was the side effect, but that wasn't a mistake. So literally there are millions of people per year that die because the cure, because of a drug. So they're dying from the drug, not from the disease itself. And the thing I would tell you is that there is almost a natural solution for every condition out there. So if somebody dies from, and by the way, 15,000 people die per year from from these insides like Advil and Ibrophrine from from liver issues or kidney issues.

and they could have been taking an herb like turmeric or ginger or galangol or bromelin and had no side effects. And in some studies, turmeric is just as effective or for many conditions, it's actually more effective. So if a doctor isn't prescribing vitamins and supplements and herbs and lifestyle changes and those sort of things on a regular basis, their cure is worse than the disease every single time. And so it's important to understand. And I just want to last few thoughts on this on this video, you know, it's important that we follow and look at some of these thought leaders what they're sharing because right now, as Joe Rogan talked about, people are doing mental gymnastics to say, oh, no, we should have done the lockdowns.

Oh, we should have done the mandates. And this is how you know who you should trust in the future. Anyone right now who's going and trying to make excuses or say things, you know, like, well, no, we should have masked. No, we should have locked down. we should have done all that. Anyone that's doing that, you shouldn't trust them in the future. Because they don't have wisdom. They haven't learned from their mistakes. And people that don't learn from their mistakes, they lack wisdom. And they don't really know the best way to deal

with things in the future. They're just going to repeat the mistakes of the past. So I'm really interested to hear what you think about this video. Do you believe in a lot of cases the cure is worse than the disease? What are your thoughts on the COVID death rates? And what are your thoughts? on that idea around the mind virus? What are some of the mind viruses you think are going around in the world right now? I share that with me here on YouTube or social media or somewhere. I'd love to hear from you your thoughts on the mind virus. Hey, I want to say thanks so much for watching this episode.
