Zuby on COVID Doom Addiction, the Harms of Closing Schools, and How to Fight Back | Ep. 233

This particular virus is very, very, very mild for children ... Kids breeze through this very easily. I'm not actually aware of a single healthy child anywhere in the world who has died over the past two years of this particular disease. That's not to say it doesn't exist, but it is certainly extraordinarily rare. Hospitalizations are rare, any type of severe sickness, and so on etc. in that age demographic is extremely rare.

All of these measures that have been applied to children for this duration of the past two years have been absolutely crazy. They've been so detrimental to young people and to kids. The amount of harm that's come to them from this all—socially, in terms of their development, in terms of their health, their mental well-being, their ability to socialize and even learn how to speak. All of that stuff has been massively negatively impacted.

One of the most mind-blowing things through throughout this has been the fact that there are millions of people who are addicted to the doom and the gloom and despair. If you give them any type of positive news or anything that could potentially allay their fears or get them to calm down, they actually get angry. There are people who literally want a situation to be worse than it is, which is psychotic to me.

I think that one of the best things you can do as an individual and as a society is to make individuals stronger. You want people to be strong. If you have children, you want your children to be strong because you're not going to be able to bulldoze every obstacle or challenge out of their way throughout their entire life.

We need to stop pretending like people who are under the age of 30 face any real risk from this virus, because they don't ... They're safer even unvaccinated than somebody like I, who am 51, am with the double vaccine and the booster.

All of these ridiculous mandates and restrictions... not only are they ineffective, but they're totally unnecessary. If that were not the case, then places like Texas, Florida, Tennessee, South Dakota... they would have erupting. They would be on fire for the past more than one year, and that is not happening.

We're having this weird situation where if you are just living your life normally, or you are trying to live your life normally; you advocate for liberty, freedom, personal choice, all of that stuff; you're somehow the bad guy.
