    You forgot to mention all of the other rhetoric he has been spewing about his doubts about the vaccine and how healthy young people don't need them. the whole idea of that video was to show how he got through it without a vaccine.....sooooo, not quite accurate.

    It begs the question, what are all of the other motives out there? Vengeance against the system? Political gain? Profit? Passion of philosophical or religious beliefs? It can't just be that the establishment are the bad actors alone. Can o worms I know, but I think it's important to remember...

    Why is De-Phase necessary?
