This is a guest we've had in the
0:03
middle of the coronavirus pandemic. One
0:05
of the scientists that has not
0:07
only worked, you know, a virologist
0:09
and worked as a politician, he
0:13
has written books on
0:15
the subject of pandemics, his
0:17
book, False Pandemics. Why
0:20
are we going to have this conversation? Why is
0:22
this really important? I don't know, would you be
0:24
nervous? Like, it's like almost like
0:26
the opening of a movie where the head,
0:28
or former head of the CDC says, yeah,
0:32
this bird flu thing that hasn't happened since the
0:34
dawn of man jumped from a bird into a
0:36
human being, I'm pretty sure it's
0:39
going to happen. And probably
0:41
the best way it's going to happen is if we
0:43
build it ourselves. That'd be
0:45
a weird opening to a movie. It'd be
0:47
even stranger if you watch it on your own
0:49
television set like we all did this
0:52
week. Could we
0:54
be on the verge of another pandemic
0:56
and one that could be even worse
0:59
than the one caused by coronavirus? This
1:01
time it could actually be bird flu.
1:04
Former CDC director Robert Redfield, who helped
1:06
oversee our country's response to COVID, says
1:08
it is definitely time to take
1:10
this more seriously. Yes, Brian, I really
1:13
do think it's very likely
1:15
that we will at some time, it's
1:17
not a question of if,
1:19
it's more of a question of when, we will
1:21
have a bird flu pandemic. And
1:25
as you mentioned, unfortunately,
1:27
bird flu has, when
1:30
it does enter humans, has a significant
1:32
mortality. Probably somewhere
1:35
between 25 and 50 percent mortality. So
1:38
it's going to be quite complicated. Since
1:41
2019, we've had a progressive
1:43
increase in bird flu in chickens and ducks and
1:45
turkeys. And since then, you've seen it now go
1:47
into a number of mammals. It's
1:52
now in over 25 different mammals. I
1:54
think now with the llamas recently, it's now in
1:57
27 mammals in the United States. what
38:00
you're looking for. It's in many languages,
38:02
there's some English stuff too, and French
38:04
and whatever you need. So,
38:08
Wolfgang, I had to say your breath
38:10
of fresh air. It's great to reflect
38:13
with you again. I remember how
38:16
much clarity you brought
38:18
during the COVID, you
38:21
know, theater, as you call it. Keep
38:24
up the great work. Thank you for reminding us
38:26
to laugh. They're
38:29
just a bunch of fools. We're not stupid enough
38:31
to do that again. I agree with you. I
38:36
made some songs about COVID, but they are
38:38
in German. So, I
38:43
make poems and songs and I think
38:45
it's a good way. We need more
38:47
songs mocking them and showing them that
38:49
they are naked. I think it
38:51
would be good. Very good. Well,
38:53
we need to get those translated. We'll get
38:55
them out and we'll release
38:57
the album right here at ICANN. Wolfgang,
39:02
who killed Grandma's one
39:05
song, which tells a story of Grandma
39:07
being killed by those people. Yeah. Yeah.
39:10
It's a horrible story. We
39:12
need indictments. I'm
39:14
not going to walk away. We are finally
39:17
having the right types of hearings are
39:19
going on here in America. I'm concerned
39:21
that, you know, the wrong
39:23
person elected in the, you know, here
39:25
in America could shut down those hearings
39:27
because I think we do have enough
39:29
politicians starting to wake up. We've had
39:32
over 25 attorney generals speaking out against
39:34
the WHO, the WEF. On that front,
39:36
does that mean, just
39:40
really, I know I was going to let you go, but
39:42
the WHO, boy, they seem
39:44
to be trying to grab a lot of power
39:46
right now with these treaties and everything. What are
39:49
your thoughts on WHO right now?
39:52
What do we do?
39:55
They were made a very important institution
39:57
because of the accept norms in medicine.
