Kevin Bae: Coming to you semi live, well live on youtube, but
semi live on the podcast. I'm alive, but it's pre recorded.
This is that's all I got podcast. I'm Kevin Bae, it's
July 23 2021. And I titled this one with the COVID-19 News
already. And if you understand that little reference, it is
from the Gilmore Girls, or I should just say from Gilmore
Girls, of which I'm a fan, which doesn't exactly fit with being a
man does it? But I'm a fan of the show nevertheless. Anyway,
yes, I am so sick and tired of COVID News. Sick and tired that
I'm going to give you some. So let me go pull these things up.
This is episode number 13. I don't know if I mentioned that.
Okay, also, this is a value for value podcast. You can listen to
this on pod friend or some other new podcast app. My voice is
cracking new podcast app that supports streaming payments. And
I encourage you to go to new podcast apps COMM And check
those out because you can find a podcast that is custom to you.
That's some coffee to lubricate my throat. I do not have COVID.
But my throat is dry. It tends to get that way more towards the
afternoon. I don't know. I don't talk that much during the day.
But then when I start, I seem to run out of juice very quickly.
Perfect for podcasting. So what I'm going to do today is I'm
going to show you, let's cut to the chase, Episode 13. The first
one, I'm going to go through the stupid COVID crap and then I'm
just going to go into some music because I am sick of it. Let's
see. 60% of COVID-19 hospitalizations in the UK are
among the fully vaccinated. Well, that's not exactly true.
Nothing is good. Nothing works. Okay, let's go here. Okay, there
we go. Forgot my keyboard. combo combinations. So, Sir Patrick
Vallance had some press conference, and I can't remember
what the hell his position with the government is. But he
actually said 60% of hospitalizations from COVID.
Were from people who were double vaccinated. vaccinated we know
it's around 60% of the people can't hear that. Oh, that a
second. Nothing is working. Let's get this up here. Let me
get back to my desktop here. Why this is not coming through my
podcast rig. COVID. Okay, there it is. Now, let's cut back to
it.
Getting off to a great start. or nothing is working as I intend.
Unknown: Okay, back to the double vaccinated. And that's
not surprising because the vaccine percent of the people
being curse
Kevin Bae: I had a queued up nicely, but then it didn't work.
Okay, so here we go.
Unknown: The number of people in hospital who've been double
vaccinated, we know it's around 60% of the people being admitted
to hospital with COVID have been double vaccinated. And that's
not surprising, because not surprising, it's not 100%
effective. They're very, very effective, but not 100%. So
Kevin Bae: he's so sure. And it's not like he doesn't have
the information in front of him. So he he's so sure and and not
only that the absurdness of him knowingly saying 60% of fully
vaccinated people are in hospitals with COVID and then
saying that's proof that the vaccines are effective. That's
just the dumbest statement on Earth.
Unknown: As a higher proportion of the population is double
vaccinated, it's inevitable that those 10% of that very large
number remain at risk and therefore will be amongst the
people who both catch the infection and end up in
hospital. So once vaccines are very effective at reducing
severe disease, they're also effective at reducing the chance
of catching it.
Kevin Bae: I mean, he just goes on to say, basically, the
vaccines are effective, even though 60% of the people fully
vaccinated, are in hospitals how how that qualifies as, as, as a
preventive, or preventing serious illness is beyond me.
What are you doing in the hospital if you're not seriously
ill? So then he came up, like a day later or something like
that, with a tweet, correcting the statement that he made live
on TV. The tweet says correcting a statistic I gave at the press
conference today 19th, July, about 60% of hospitalizations
from COVID are not double vaccinated people rather 60% of
hospitalizations from COVID are currently from unvaccinated
people. So you flip that around, that means 40% still have fully
vaccinated people are hospitalized with COVID, or of
the of the people who are hospitalized with COVID 40% of
those are fully vaccinated people. Again, they keep telling
us that the vaccines are 90% 95%, whatever that stupid
statistics, they keep throwing out, they're effective at
preventing serious illness, if that's the case, 40% of people
in hospitals would not have COVID or 40% of the people with
COVID would not be vaccinated. At least I can correct myself on
the fly. So it's just such a bunch of bullshit. And then so
what is the point? You know, what is the point of, of the
vaccines when the statistics still show that, you know, well
above 95%? I think it's higher than that. But you know, my
memory isn't as good. I'd have to go back and look at the
stupid stats. I know it's well over 95% of people who without a
vaccine, and who are who become infected with COVID-19 not only
survive, but don't require hospitalization. So this just
that was like it's just so infuriating, all of this. And
then Rand Paul had a very nice running with Dr. Fauci and
totally flustered this guy. It's seems like Rand Paul's the only
one that can kind of shake. Dr. Anthony Fauci. I say it with
disdain, because I have a lot of disdain for this guy, because I
think he's a bureaucrat, it doesn't give a shit about
anybody. Let's see. Let's get to the video here. LG.
Unknown: As you are aware, it is a crime to lie to Congress
section.
Kevin Bae: One thing that's
Unknown: frustrating is most code creates a felony and a five
year penalty for lying to Congress. On your last trip to
our committee on May 11. You stated that the NIH has not ever
and does not now fund gain of function research and the Wu Han
Institute of Neurology. And yet, gain of function research was
done entirely in the Wu Han Institute by Dr. Sheen, and was
funded by the NIH. I'd like to ask unanimous consent insert
into the record of the Wu Han virology paper entitled
discovery of a rich gene pool of SARS related corrode Rand Paul,
basically, please deliver a copy of it
Kevin Bae: just shows the definition of Dr. Fauci his own
definition of gaining function and goes through through the
proof that NIH funded this research. And then Fauci
response research and move on. There he didn't turn on his
microphone like I didn't
Unknown: turn on my Senator Paul, I have never lied before
the Congress that's a lie right there Do not retract that
statement. This paper that you're referring to, was judged
by qualified staff up and down the chain as not being gain of
function. What was let me finish I can add a human right, you're
saying that's not getting a phone? Yeah, that is correct.
And Senator Paul, you do not know what you are talking.
Kevin Bae: It's like his attitude here is like I can't
say that looks like a little kid in high school, do not know what
you are the head wag. Okay. You can essentially
Unknown: read from the NIH. This is your definition that you guys
wrote. It says that scientific research that increases that
have to
Kevin Bae: watch the video videos on my website in the show
notes.
Unknown: They took animal viruses that only occur in
animals, and they increase their trend
Kevin Bae: to get to fogies response because he's, he's
visibly shaking. It is not it's a dance when he responds. If you
can zoom in on his hands when you watch this video, you can
see that he's so amped up, I don't know if it's nervousness
or just
Unknown: adrenaline. Well, now you're getting into something
but his hands are jumping all over the place. Is that the the
grant that was funded as a sub award from eco health to Wu Han
created SOS COVID. To that's where you
Kevin Bae: get rampolla double finger point.
Unknown: But all the evidence is pointing that it came from the
lab, Yun there will be responsibility for those who
funded the lab,
Kevin Bae: including yourself I totally this grease and allow
the witness to right
Unknown: totally resent the lie that you are now propagating,
Senator, because if
Kevin Bae: you make a point other
Unknown: finger points is that we used in the experiments that
were given in the annual reports that will published in the
literature. It is molecularly it just tries to throw shit
Kevin Bae: in there now. It is molecularly impossible this
finger is shaking
Unknown: pandemic visibly shaking is the gain of function
research was going on in that lab and NIH funded it that is
not away from it. It meets your definition and you are ops you
skating the truth.
Kevin Bae: I'm not office getting the truth, you're the
wine is fiddling with a rubber band finish, also still shaking
Unknown: that if you look at those viruses, and that's judged
by qualified virologists and evolutionary biologists, those
viruses are molecularly Impossible,
Kevin Bae: impossible. As the pandemic or power saying they
are gained a bunch of viruses because they were an animal
virus, it was it was a good exchange. Rand Paul seems to be
the only one that can pierce that smooth facade of Dr. Fauci.
I mean, he's Dr. Fauci is one of the smoothest liars I've ever
seen in my life. You know, it's just I think it's his delivery,
his kind of gravelly voice that kind of soothes everybody into
complacency. You know, and I was even believing them to in the
beginning, when all this stuff started. It just seemed like
such a reasonable guy. But then when this shit didn't start
making a whole lot of sense, and when he started, like, going
back in his own words, you know, and he had this whole mentality
of, I'm not telling you everything for your own good.
That's the kind of bullshit I hate. He's not my father. He
works for the government, we fund the government, therefore,
he works for us. I know, it's a simplistic way of looking at it.
But that's, that's the basic truth. We don't, you know, we're
not paying them to be our parents. We're paying them to do
the, you know, the job that they're fucking supposed to do.
You know, and in his job as supposedly, you know, I forgot
what a stupid ass title now is. The NIH, but you know, his his
job to protect us from these viruses should include telling
the public, everything he knows. This isn't war time. This isn't
releasing information that our enemies in the field might
gather from a news report, and then killer soldiers. No, this
is something about a fucking virus that's supposed to be
attacking us all. And if he's genuine, he would provide us
with whatever information he has, that is the truth, not the
shit that he thinks that he that that we need to hear, or only
the shit that he thinks we need to hear in order to move the
public in a certain direction. That just crossed my asked to
know and I just can't stand it. You're not my father, you're not
my mother. You're there to do a job and you're there to do it
for the public. So what you know, if it's factual, give us
the facts. Let us decide what to do. You're just a bureaucrat. We
have elected officials that that you know, and granted, they're
not that much better either. But still, it's up to us to make the
decisions. Not you do just do your fucking job and tell us the
truth. Under the Texas democrats now this is a position I think I
haven't heard anybody but my but in my own head, and as watching
the news reports, on the Texas democrats that ran away to
Washington, DC In order to avoid voting on a new voting law in
Texas that's similar to what they've passed here in Georgia.
You know, everybody's been passing around this photo that
I've got that I've got up right now on screen of them in the
airplane making the peace sign, although one of them is making a
backwards p sign, which is not friendly in the UK. You know,
maybe she's talking to Boris Johnson, who knows. But you
know, they're there. They're sitting shoulder to shoulder, no
masks on and a stupid airplane heading to Washington, DC. And
then we know later on, it's supposedly six of them tested
positive for COVID-19, even though that entire plane is
supposed to be fully vaccinated, which is fine. I mean, we know
that if you are vaccinated, it's not going to prevent you from
getting infected. It's just supposed to prevent severe
illness, just like every other vaccine in the history of
vaccines. But what I think this was, you know, and then we heard
the other stuff about somebody in Kamala Harris's office and
Nancy Pelosi, and you know, people in Congress that now are
testing positive, supposedly, because they came in contact
with these people from Texas. So they're to me, I think this is
twofold. Forget about the hypocrisy about not wearing
masks, and then coming down with COVID and passing it on. I think
the whole thing is really just a ruse. In order for them not to
go back to Texas. It's just an excuse that okay. Texas wants us
back now. But wait a minute, we got COVID we can't move anywhere
we got we've got to stay sealed up for another 14 days, or 10
days, or whatever the current bullshit is, in order to not
pass it on to the people of Texas. So I think that's really
just something to buy them extra time where the Texas legislature
and governor Abbott won't be able to force them back. You
know? I don't know if they're going to send
Texas State Troopers or whatever they call them up there. Texas
Rangers. I think that's a different a different agency,
but I don't think they're going to send anybody to DC to drag
anybody back. But I think that's just I think this was all just
just a ruse, just bullshit. The whole COVID crap. And how about
the poor people of Sydney, Australia. These poor people,
they their mission now is to achieve zero new COVID cases.
That's like saying zero influenza, or zero any other
virus. That is, you know, it's out there in the world and
people are going to get sick. They went into a full lockdown
again, was what's today Today is the 23rd. So two days ago, or ch
or maybe there and let's say they're on replay the video.
Unknown: Would evening within hours, Sydney will be in the
group of much tougher restrictions, the premier
clamping down on the stop and delta outbreak with what she's
calling on no regrets policy. And this is why from a record
82,000 tests, the state today recorded 111 cases
Kevin Bae: and 82,000 tests. Out of 82,000 tests, they only came
up with 111 cases and one death they they're shutting down the
whole fucking area for 111 cases and one death. And I think she
comes out and says that there was actually three deaths
recently but still so what people die every day and it
sounds cold now but it's like I'm just so sick of this
bullshit.
Unknown: The third COVID death in this outbreak
Kevin Bae: third COVID death.
Unknown: Tragically the third coast the state today recorded
111 cases. And tragically the third COVID death in this
outbreak, a man aged in his 80s from the et se 80s he's in his
80s
Kevin Bae: now my parents are in their 80s my father's 87 my
mother will be 80 this year. Sadly, people of that age. Every
day could be your last day. That's just statistics, human
statistics and life expectancy. People don't live too far beyond
the age of 8090 you know, once you once you get over 75 really,
almost any day could be your last. So while you know I don't
want people to die, you know, unnecessarily, obviously, but
you can't prevent death. We're all gonna die. And the older you
are the closer you are.
Unknown: Across Greater Sydney retail shops will now close. A
small list of essential stores can remain open construction
sites across the city shut down. And from midnight tonight 110
suburbs across Liverpool, Fairfield and Canterbury
Bankstown will be sealed shut. That's 900,000 residents who
can't leave their area.
Kevin Bae: I don't know what what would happen if that
happened here. I mean, we were all fairly compliant. throughout
this entire thing, which troubled me a lot. There were no
dissenting voices, you know, and I'm just some some dude who has
no platform other than my blog, and you know what I'm doing now.
But the prominent people who, you know, you look to me like,
okay, these people will speak up, because they have a little
bit of common sense, but they never did. They just kind of
stayed silent, and didn't say anything. I think they were
afraid that they would be responsible for killing people.
But so what I mean, if if it's not if the principles aren't
correct, if they're not right, if they're not protecting your
rights, if the government is taking your rights away, the
prominent people who we normally expect to say something should
be out there saying something. And it was it was really
disheartening. I couldn't believe it. Those were the
dissenting voices. Were the people that are going to argue
against this. And it just didn't happen. Not until a year later,
almost. Someone Australia, because the three deaths and 111
cases, almost a million people are frozen in place. How is
that? How is that a free country anymore? And when is that coming
here? That's what I want to know. to music. I've been
listening to some music lately. You know, I still listening to
the podcasts I listened to. The main ones I listened to are the
no agenda show. I listened to devora core Wits unplugged. I
listened to podcasting 2.0 I listen to security now. I
listened to Windows weekly. And then the other shows I listened
to that consistently but fairly regularly, I'll say are the new
media show? The low carb let's see the low carb MD podcast. I
think that's what it's called. Just off the top of my head. Let
me take a look. Hold on. I got my podcast I normally I listened
to my podcast through podcast addict. Unless I'm listening to
a value for value podcast, and then I listened through breeze
or pod friend. Yeah, the low carb MD podcast. And
occasionally, I'll listen to the Wall Street Journal opinion
Potomac watch podcast, but mostly I read the Wall Street
Journal. So I don't need to hear that podcast. But sometimes I'll
skip and then I'll catch that. In case there's something I
missed. Because you know, they have more insight. The editorial
page of The Wall Street Journal has more insight knowledge of
washington dc than I have, obviously. But anyway, I've been
listening to some music lately, and I'm not sure how much of
this stuff I can play without getting taken down. So I'm going
to try to maybe hit 10 seconds or so. And this is I think this
is how you pronounce it be able to doobie Yeah, she's a young
Asian girl and she's got a band and I've been listening to some
of her stuff for the last couple of years. And the my musical
tastes tend to touch around pop music, but not the mainstream
pop. Let's say it's kind of like, kind of off to the side.
You know, some of my favorite artists are like, listen to
Stevie Ray Vaughan Prince, I was huge fan of Prince, you know,
growing up in the 80s, you know, arena rock. So I would listen to
Van Halen and journey. I'm from Chicago. So our REO Speedwagon
is big. But I also listened to I just mentioned Prince I can't
remember now. But a huge Prince fan. Finally got to see him
during the musicology Tour, which was fantastic. But I
always you know, I'm not stuck in the 80s I always search out
for new stuff. Because while I can go back and listen to all
the old stuff anytime, you know, but I definitely need new things
to listen to and I'm not opposed. You know, I like the
energy coming off younger people. So here is Bianca dooby
dooby last day on earth
Okay, we'll cut that up. How many seconds was that? I don't
know. I gotta watch that. But I've got a link to the I've got
the YouTube video embedded in the show notes. So you can go
listen to that, if it's anything you're into. It's kind of like
indie pop rock, kind of softer indie pop rock. I like it's kind
of fresh kind of new. And then john mayer came out with a new
album, which I'm a fan of john Mayer's. And I read some reviews
about this album, which, you know, I guess I don't take much
stock in reviews, I guess. The only one I saw was in in the New
York Times. And I used to follow music reviewer in the tribune
that sometimes aligned with my with my taste, Greg cut. But
he's gone from the Tribune. And so now with music reviews, I
don't know who to go to. So I just kind of search around. I've
been a fan of john mayer, I classify his sound or his style
of music as suburban blues. It's like, you know, we all have
things that we complain about, or we're sad about or things
that bother us. But a lot of us, you know, are a lot of people
you know, you grew up in the suburbs, and you don't really
have a whole lot of problems. So you kind of have to create them
in order to have some kind of an edge. And john Mayer's music
kind of fits into that mold where, you know, I don't I don't
think he struggled too much as a kid or whatever. It is nothing
wrong with that either. But I think he gets criticized for for
being a little vapid sometimes, or maybe, you know, kind of
chick music, whatever. But I don't know, I think he he's
definitely better in live performances than he then he is
on his album, but I kind of like this one. Now the roll keeps
rolling forever sappy in these key just say this, because we
shouldn't shouldn't. I think that's a good lyric. Plus, he
sings in a range that I can handle. And then there's this
band out of Chicago beach Bunny, which this is definitely just
plain old, kind of indie rock. But I enjoy it. She's a little
quirky and funny. But I like the energy in her music. And I think
her lyrics kind of touch on being, you know, younger, and
all these kind of wacky problems.
When we
there, that's a little bit of beach bunny. I like their sound.
I like their energy. And then I ran across this, I tried to
listen to the whole album, I wasn't too much into it. It
wasn't that it was bad. It's just the whole albums that might
think I'm more of an album listener than a singles
listener. But this is a very fun video and very fun song john
Baptiste when I move that pays me back, and I let go.
So that's what I'm going to, I'll include that in, I make a
playlist for every year songs that I like to listen to. That's
going to go on my 2021 playlist as a single the rest of the
album. I still have to check out all of it, but I listened about
half of it now. Wasn't that into it? It was it was okay. But it
wasn't my cup of tea. And then this is a song that I like, I
like Lorde I liked her last album a lot. Which I don't think
got a whole lot of radio play or anything or was it even? I don't
think streaming was as big during her last album. I think
it was three or four years ago. So now I don't even listen to
the radio at all. So who knows but I don't think it got much
play. But this song I like it's very simple. It's summery. It's
very light, fluffy. Enjoy. Nice. beaches, the shoe the shoes only
my feet. Just my boy. me stay convicted. The boys and girls
onto the pages go Wanna come on so you must see goodsam can and
like the video, Jesus, nothing like claiming your prettier
Jesus. But that's some of the songs I've been listening to her
album comes out, I think in a month. So check that out.
Hopefully it's as good as that song. I like that song. And the
other ones what the hell did I just cover all the other albums
I liked a lot. So those those go into the playlist, the john
mayer album sounded pretty good. wallflowers came out with
another one, too, that we'll have to listen to yet, all the
way through. But aside from that, that podcast was that's
all I got. Up Not much, really this week. I'm just so sick and
tired of COVID news that I just can't wait for this to be over.
Pause that again. So that's it. That's all I got for this week.
Very, very quiet week. While there was a lot of crap on the
blog just didn't feel like covering. I'm just so sick of it
all. But that's it. So I still have to figure out a way to
close these out. Let's see here. So let me reiterate about
podcasting 2.0 that this is a podcasting 2.0 compatible
podcast. And that if you're listening to this, you'll be
able to have access to transcripts chapter images, and
chapters. Well, obviously, their chapter images are going to be
chapters. So please go to new podcast apps COMM And check
those out. There's a lot of different types of podcast apps
for you to enjoy to listen to podcast the way you want to
listen to go and support podcast index.org go listen to the
podcast in 2.0. podcast if you're interested in this kind
of stuff at all. There are too technical for me, but I listen
to anyway because I'm very interested in where they're
going with extending RSS. If you'd like to get in touch with
me at all, you can send me an email at mail at Kevin bay.com.
I will respond and feel free to send some cash over this way.
I've got a Donate button on the website. And if you listen in a
podcast in 2.0 compatible app that supports about the value
for value model you can just stream set Satoshi is to me if
you don't know what that is. Just go look it up. Because I
know what they are but to pay they asked to explain. So just
go look it up and enjoy and have a good weekend coming up.
Hopefully COVID disappeared by Monday. I think it'll disappear
on Monday. Not a chance. All right. See you later.
Oh my goodness. It's hot in here again. I don't know what the
heck. Turn my air conditioner up. I do these things tend to
get a little amped up. start sweating. Like a fan running
maybe. Maybe moving to Atlanta and the heat and humidity here
isn't the best idea for me. That's truly all i got later
